Farrah requested that I make one so here goes. I just picked from my long list of wants. Yes, I keep a list so that when I feel I deserve a reward, I buy something that's on my list. The thing about being single is that I'm my own Santa / genie. hehe
1. Washi tapes! I'm craaaazy about them. They're too cute not to have! http://blog.quaintdesk.com/products-page/
2. Watercolor paper. Someone told me I should try watercolor during my free time (which I have a lot of). I got myself a basic Prang palette and a small 30-sheet Berkeley paper. My artist friends said I can't just do watercolor on any paper. The pigment should 'well' on the paper, thus, rough paper is recommended. I'd like to try the Canson brand next.
3. Handheld mixer. I've been dying try my hand at baking (using my toaster, hehe) I'm sure this is on my mom's list for the kitchen (or for me because I keep nagging her).
4. French press. Coffee making class has been on my list since forever but I have yet to find a class. In my recent trip from Siem Reap (which reminds me I must post my collages), I bought a bag of Ratanakiri coffee beans. I thought I'd replicate the coffee we had at the hotel. I can't really tell if the coffee beans are the best kind because I don't know much about coffee beans. I should really learn now.
5. Glass cookie jars. Nope, not for the kitchen. I'll be converting one part of the bar into a craft corner. I'll use the jars to store my washi tapes, gift ribbons and the rest of my art stuff. I'm excited to have a fancy craft corner at home.
6. Of course the kikay me will want a share in the wish list. Benefit Hello Flawless Wow foundation. I won a sample sized bottle a month ago and I like it. Not LOVE it. Love is Smashbox 15 hour foundation. But this one is very good for chill days.
7. Lastly, Tony Moly Jelly Bubble Spray. I wanted to bring this with me to Cambodia because I figured it'll be a long and hot trip. Unfortunately, it was out of stock. Hopefully I can get a bottle before summer ends.
That's about it! My birthday is a few days away. I can still remember last year's celebration. A simple weekday dinner with Nano and Mau morphed into a 4-song concert and inuman with some football players. Totally unexpected but very much enjoyed that night.
This birthday week I plan to see my favorite friends. Maybe spend my actual birthday with the whole family here at home and then hang out with friends in the evening.
I don't like worrying too much on how I'd celebrate my birthday. I have 364 other days to celebrate life. :)
