My 2012 Wishlist


It is no doubt the start of the Yuletide season.  I can feel the Christmas season in the weather (thanks, rain), in the wallet (13th month pay, so sweet), in the classroom (Christmas balls never go out of style) and with the people (Hello my manita, who happens to identify me no thanks to my banga moves in giving the Kris Kringle gifts secretly).
As the season of gift giving is fast approaching, the malls are displaying more objects for sale—most especially in the clothes, shoes, bags and GADGETS department! So this post is dedicated to the generous souls (or to the person who got my codename in the Kris Kringle) who would like to give me something. Well, this is just a list of my Christmas wish list. :D
1.       Neutral or Earth colored flats or sandals
-          Yes, since I started teaching pre-schoolers, I have discovered my love for flats instead of heels. They make me move easily and comfortably. I also find them stylishly unique. I opt for neutral or earth colors because they are easy to match with any colors (or it’s simply because most of my clothes in my wardrobe are dominantly on the neutral or earth colored side—for short, the boring colors). I like neutral and earth colors because I find them interestingly cool and simple.
2.       Any formal floral blouse
-          I have been hunting at the mall for these kinds of blouses so I can wear them during wash days in school but none seem to fit my taste. I can usually find them in online stores; however, I really do not want to go through the hassle of texting, meeting and stuff (unless I’m buying a gadget that will make it HEAPS cheaper). I found one in Forever 21, but it’s a sleeveless blouse. -.-
3.       A pair of decent eyeglasses
-          I have been advised to wear glasses (HNNOOOOOOO!—yes?) because of my astigmatism. The optometrist said it’s not a NEED, if I can tolerate the headaches brought by it. Since I noticed my headaches have been recurrent these days, I think it’s tme to heed her advice. I found one that cost for 4,000Php to which was discounted to me for 2,000Php—and I declined, thinking I didn’t need it until now.
4.     Rubber-Silicone Swatch
-          It may not be evident but I’m a fan of watches. I have several watches, but only two are working now. Most of my watches are either dead because of battery problems or strap problems. Some watches, (although if I changed the battery already) don’t work anymore. I liked that watch I saw in SM. It costs 3,000Php. O.< But it’s rubber-silicone! It won’t stink when you sweat, it’s water resistant and it has 2-year warranty. T_T
5.       A Jansport Backpack with cute design (preferably Earth or Neutral colors)
-          A friend sold some backpacks back in my last year in college.  I could have afforded them, but then again, me, being an ever thrifty-at-the-wrong-places person, said and thought I don’t need it. I have several bags at home, which all turned out to be damaged or too small for my everyday needs in school.  I saw some bags online which costs 1,600Php (but I didn’t like the design).
6.       IPOD TOUCH 5th GEN!!!!!
-          Since my iPod broke, I’ve been wanting to have it fixed ASAP. Unfortunately, no store here in Davao fixes Classic iPods’ LCD. So I thought to myself, I’ll use this old iPod as a storage device and get an itouch 4. Then, I started browsing at the apple store. I saw the ipod 5. Huge difference in the gadget itself with only 3,000Php difference. Now, I find myself drooling for the iPod. I thought I could have got my hands on this baby this month—but I was wrong. I gotta wait for 1 or 2 more pay days. T_T I’ve been constantly searching for discounts, online stores or even at the malls for cheaper prices but I still---- It’s okay. I know I’ll get you soon. I’ll just have to work hard for it to achieve it.
I might sound a little materialistic with this post, but then again, it’s a WISH list. I’ll always want to be with my family and loved ones above all that. Time, bonding and good health with my family. Peace and unity with my colleagues. Guidance and protection for my kids. More years of love and understanding with my Pahdee. :3 Afterall, none of these would matter if I’d be alone and if I’d have no one to share it with right? (Uh. I can share the flats and the blouse with my mom? XD) I know you know what I mean. Chocolates still count. J
Merry Christmas everyone!
