A Wish List Is In Order

So even if I'm already done shopping (I think I need to tell this to myself everyday so it sticks), there's no reason why I can't make a wish list. Right? (:

I don't think I'll ever grow tired of making lists. It doesn't even matter that most of the things on my wish list are stuff I actually buy myself. There's something about online window shopping that gives me such a cheap thrill!



1. Maggi oxfords, Ichigo; 2. Kenny brogues, Ichigo; 3. Floral Bow Holdall, Topshop; 4. Love Makes The World Go Round watch, Accessorize; 5. Turquoise Flamingo watch, Triwa; 6. Vintage Heart Watch ring, Accessorize; 7. Chocolate wash cross body satchel or pink washed cross body satchel, Dorothy Perkins

New shoes

Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right
I said hey, I put some new shoes on and everyone's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Pizza lunch at the office with the sweetest Candy Girls, surprise gifts, and dinner with the family. Doesn't really take much to make a birthday happy. (:

the neverending wish list.

Fifi Lapin in Delia*s


Fifi Lapin in Forever 21

So anong balak mo sakin, Fifi, mamulubi ako? Hay, I love you. HAHA!

Macy-3, Dengue-0

I am back from the hospital. Yay! I was diagnosed with Dengue H. Fever last Wednesday evening and was stuck in the hospital until Sunday afternoon. But I am all better now and back to work.

I was sitting in morning traffic and realized that today, 09/09/09, is exactly two months away from when I turn 27. (TWENTY-FREAKIN'-SEVEN!) And I thought, hey, how about a birthday wish list. Hahaha. Because I know I'll never get old for that kind of list. d:

1. A nice camera.
   
   I love that it looks like an old camera and that you can actually change the lens. And, it looks pretty! (:


2. The Diana mini.
   
   Because it fits in your palm! And it uses 35mm film.


3. A Fifi Lapin bag!
   
   In Fifi in the Sky print. I waaaant it.


4. A nice pair of grey skinny jeans.
   
   Thanks, Mix! (:


5. A phone that has wifi but doesn't have a QWERTY keypad.
   
   I saw this a few weeks ago on Techie.com.ph. I almost bought the E51 when my phone conked out but there were too many bad reviews. Hoping this one is better!


6. Dresses, dresses, dresses!
   
   A few dresses I found on Forever 21. Because one of my favorite white dresses from one of my good friends is about to retire soon. ):


7. A comfy pair of black flats.
   
   Because even if I've learned how to wear heels, I think one should have a pair of classic flats that goes with everything.

Okay, now where to get all the money for these things. Hmm.

Daddy, I want a rabbit!*

I think it's a good thing that I'm not one of those girls who love designer bags. My wallet is very happy about that.

But as I was checking one of the blogs on my NetVibes, I saw that the most stylish bunny around has a line of LeSportsac bags! Ahhhh! Okay, so this isn't exactly designer and the bags don't cost as much as a designer bag. But wah, I really want one!

*it has to be said exactly like how Veruca Salt says it in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I want you, Mr. Pink!

I want you with a 35mm back! Sigh.

All I Want...

Because Stephie said it was fun, I'm posting a wish list, too. And none of that "world peace" cheesy stuff. A real materialistic wish list, with things I probably won't get, but look nice on the computer screen.

Hahaha. And if I'm lucky enough, maybe some kind soul will stumble upon this page and get something from the list for me. Hey, my birthday's coming up and Christmas is just around the corner!

1. Nice 8-inch springform pans
   
   Because I think it's time I ventured into cakes. (: And my mom's square Pyrex dishes just don't make for pretty cake shapes. Haha.
   
   
2. Cupcake pans
   
   The muffin tins I use now are shallow and wide. I want my cupcakes to be tall and not punggok.
   
   
3. Stainless cookie scooper
   
   Because the one I have now is plastic and well, sometimes, the dough gets too tough for it—especially when I chill the dough overnight. I'm scared it'll just break one day.
   
   
4. The Wilton Master Tip Set
   
   Because the frosting possibilities are endless!
   
   
5. Cupcake Courier
   
   Can you imagine how easier and fuss-free it'll be to carry my cupcakes in this?
   
   
6. The Golden Half
   
   I think it's a really cute camera and quite efficient, too! It can stretch a roll of 24 into 48 pictures. How awesome is that?
   
   
7. A cute umbrella
   
   Like this one from pare*umbrella. I always end up borrowing umbrellas from my officemates because I don't have my own.
   
   
8. Onitsuka Tigers tokidoki edition
   
   I'm a Nike girl at heart, but these are the cutest pair of sneaks ever!!!
   
   
9. Windrunner in Pink and Gold
   
   I honestly don't know what use I have for it, since I don't really run or I'm not sporty in general. But I love how it looks!
   
   
10. A long, gray cardi
    
    
    
11. A pretty dress
    
    One can never have too many dresses. (:
    
    
12. Ribbed tank tops
    
    I want them in all the colors of the rainbow. And in white, black, and gray. d:
    
    
    
13. YakPak Zephyr in White Multi Unicorn
    
    Because it's cuuute! :D
    
    
14. A laptop
    
    Not necessarily this one. Or not necessarily a laptop, even! I just want my own computer so I don't have to wrestle with my brother when we're both at home. Haha! I told myself, I'll save up for one even if it kills me!

See, I'm not that hard to please. HAHAHA!

My Not-Quite-Grown-Up-Yet Christmas List

1. Chucks because I've never owned a pair. And not just any kind, I want a pair from here!
2. A digicam—which my mom promised to buy for me before they leave for the States. I love you, Kuya Mong and mommy! ♥
3. An out of town trip (one with the DQs soon! I hope it pushes through.)
4. Lots of lip gloss.*
5. A pretty paper journal (even if I haven't finished the one I got for my birthday two years ago!)
6. A nice eyelash curler (because the one I'm using now is one of those cheap ones that doesn't really work at one go. Haha! Kawawa.)* plus nice black mascara.
7. A flash drive because I can't access my officemates' Macs. These are super pretty. Too bad they're so expensive.
8. A nicer computer at home. I think this one needs to retire soon.
9. Black flip flops like the blue ones Nior gave me last Christmas. Thanks, Mix for the black Old Navys (plus the tan, purple, and magenta ones, too!)
10. Cake, cake, cake. For days when I'm PMS-ing.
11. A room makeover.
12. A guilt-free shopping spree. I've bought myself stuff with my own money. And stuff not from Divisoria! Hahaha!
13. A Pro account.
14. Earphones. Hahaha! Yehey! Finally got myself nice earphones that work. :P
15. Peace of mind. (Naks!) And, sige na nga, world peace. (:

* Muchas gracias, mommy Chamie!
