Do you collect things
0:02
Yes, however, I don't consider myself an avid collector of only one particular thing
0:08
I randomly collect things when I find them worth keeping. Well, I've kept some jewelry, watches, sneakers, mugs, plants, specifically some succulents, and some pens
0:21
I don't know, I find fulfillment whenever I do this. Yes, I do. I've been collecting stamps and handmade souvenirs from the places that I've traveled to
0:32
Actually, I've been collecting stamps since I was 13 when my Swedish friend sent me a letter
0:39
I got interested in the stamp that stuck to his letter. As for handmade souvenirs, I started collecting them when I was 18

What items are considered collectibles in your country? I'm not sure about this. I guess stamps, furniture, coins, and probably souvenirs from one's trip abroad
1:01
I just simply base my answer on my friend's collections since the majority of them collect those kinds of things
1:09
I believe paintings are commonly collected because from time to time, I see some art exhibitions held in different parts of this country
1:18
I also think anything that is vintage, may they be cars, furniture, or utensils, since these collectibles are usually featured in movies or documentaries

7. Is collecting a popular pastime in your country? I don't know about this. Maybe yes or maybe not
2:09
I guess some people enjoy collecting different items such as antiques and there are those who don't
2:15
I believe the popular pastime in this country is surfing the web
2:20
I don't think so. Collecting items isn't popular among the general public. I think that kind of hobby is common among those people who have money since that is costly
2:31
I think ordinary people in this country prioritize spending their money on food rather than buying collectibles
2:40
8. Why do people like collecting? Well, I think they are after for the collectibles' worth
2:47
Some people collect certain items because they know the value of them as time goes by
2:52
They keep those collectibles for years and then sell them at the right time. That is when the value appreciates
3:00
9. As a collector myself, I collect things because those items remind me of my travels, important events I attended, and things like that
3:10
I believe some collectors share my sentiment. Also, some collectors collect things not because it's their hobby but because collecting things is a form of investment, especially collecting high-end bags, watches, or vintage cars
3:28
10. What are the benefits of collecting? From the perspective of an investor, they can sell those collectibles at a higher price to an avid collector who is more than eager to acquire such collectibles
3:41
But from the point of view of a historian or someone who is working at the academe, collecting those valuable things, especially those with historical or cultural significance, is helpful for them to conduct further study, or they can use those things as illustrations when teaching students about culture or traditions
4:03
I don't think there are many benefits of collecting items. I only see one benefit from it, and that is a collector will be able to preserve those collected items instead of throwing them away and simply contributing to the destruction of our planet
4:19
You know, most items that are old and not valued by people are commonly discarded
