MY CHRISTMAS LIST!

It's been a tradition for me to write a wish list for two reasons. First, to keep track of the things I want/need at this moment and second, to help my friends or relatives decide in case they're planning to give me a gift. HAHA

But seriously, wala lang talaga. I just wanna gauge if my wishes are improving over the years. I haven't really thought about doing comparisons though. Maybe in a few more years. Anyway, here goes!

My material wish list:

1. SPECK see through satin for my mac (in red please)2. Aquazorb body towel
3. Gift certificates from Ayala, Rustan's, Healthy Options and SM!
4. Suelas Punterea flats in gray, size 8.5
5. Nice journals/ doodle notebook (no lines) –It doesn’t have to be a Moleskin coz their price is ridiculous.
6. Metallic gel pens to write on the journals
7. DVDs of iWitness documentaries (They’re at Powerbooks!)
8. Happy hoodie in panda or bee design (call Oliver or Trixie!)
9. Sebago shoes (navy-white, red-white or light gold), size 9
10. Archie Comics. I miss reading them. I used to rent from this small bookstore downtown or swap with my classmates in grade school.

11. Cute fabric covered file holders from fabmanila or at Heima.
12. Unique watches (i.e. Normal watch brand or lego)
13. Kerastase Bain Satin shampoo or masque
14. Victoria's Secret Shea butter soft embrace mist
15. Samsonite or Delsey lightweight luggage
16. Sony Cybershot TX9 or iPod touch
18. Prada bag (Tim Humangit, bilhan mo ako please! It’s half the price of THAT BAG. Hahahaha hello Emm!)
19. Sunglasses (with square-ish lenses). (David Yurman, Rayban or Oakley)
20. Coffee table books about beautiful houses, different countries, or the Philippines

My intangible wish list:

1. That the Philippines can recover from the heartbreaking (and stupid) hostage issue.
2. That P-Noy will finally step up and spearhead major major changes for this country.
3. That Filipinos will love this country and do pure and honest work for its development. (That we will be Filipinos more than just on paper.)
4. That corrupt people can just fade from the face of the earth so that the good will reign.
5. That we will all live better lives.
6. Good health for the people that I love and those who love me.
7. More memories with my family and friends.
8. That I maintain ties with my friends and start meeting new ones.
9. That I can contribute to this country in a significant way (which I have yet to figure out).
10. Finally, for the right one at the right time.

I'M EXCITED TO START SHOPPING FOR GIFTS! I've already started actually but I'm far from completing it because, like every year, I find it difficult to think of a gift for the boys aka my dad and kuya. Joop is easy to please. I already know what he wants this Christmas. Ever since I can remember, I'm the only person who gives gifts in the family. Mom and Dad gives each of us cash, my kuya never gives anything (hahaha!) and my brother Joop never tries. I had to pressure him to buy me my Belle de Jour once. Tapos 500 lang daw babayaran niya, ako na bahala sa kulang. HAHAHA KAMOTE. So I have no plans to stop giving gifts. Boring pag walang namimigay ng regalo.

I leave you with the very nice 2009 Christmas song from ABS-CBN.
