Dahil malapit na ang birthday ko. Gagawa ako ng listahan. Listahan lang.  Walang anumang implikasyon.  Mga bagay na gusto kong makuha.  Ibigay man ng iba o bilhin ko. Maaring on or before my birthday o sa buong taon ng 2007.

Sabi nga nila, you wouldn’t get what you want unless you aren’t sure what it is. So kailangang maging tiyak ako ngayon.  For many years naging prinsipyo ko na Be happy with what you have and make the most of what’s in your hand.  And I did, naging kuntento ako sa simpleng bagay, sabagay simple pa rin naman ang mga gusto ko eh. Pero gusto ko sa darating na taon ay magkaroon na ako ng drive to really get what I wanted at huwag ipagkaila sa sarili ang mga personal needs na iniisip ko dati ay luxury. I don’t want to feel guilty anymore kapag ginagastusan ko ang sarili ko because this time I’m boldly saying that I deserve it.

Here’s the list.

1. PC or Laptop. Dati gustung-guto kong mayrong dalang magandang notepad at pen. Pero lately napapansin ko mabilis nang mangawit ang mga kamay ko kapag nagsusulat. This time I want something that sits on the corner of my room and constantly encourage me to lay my hands on it and have an output. Plus the added bonuses that goes with it.

2. Original CDs. Cristina Aguilera (Back to Basics), Sheryn Regis (The Modern Jukebox Collection) and Josh Groban (Awake). It comes in order of priority. Sounds corny but I really love them. Marami pang iba pero siyempre bibilhin ko rin naman ang mga iyon in due time.

3. Books, (Expensive books I would say) The price ranges from P500.00 to P1,500.00. But I’m gonna have them this year, that’s for sure. 1. Haruki Murukami (Shorts Stories and other novels), 2. Feast of Origin, Dinah Roma, 3. The Trouble with…Pems, Billy Collins, 4. Anne Carson, any poetry book. 5. Einstein Dreams (I forgot the author)  6. Harry Potter (Books 3,4 and 6)

4. Jeans. Youthfully styled, low rise with fade marks.

5. Shirts and Polo. Youthfully colored or printed

6. Olay Total Control Beauty Cream – with the commercial that goes “fights the seven signs of aging”.  Need I say more. Nah! I just wanna try it.

7. Tiger Stuff Toy – May nakita ako sa SM Megamall ng ganitong stuff toy with all its fur and everything parang ang sarap yakapin.

8. 1GB (or higher) flash disk or higher – I have an old 256MB and I would like an upgrade.

9. CD Holder (Album Type) – Masyado ng marami ang VCD and DVD sa cabinet ko and I want to free some space, compiling the discs in an album type holder and discarding the jewel case definitely will get the job done.

10. Book Stand – Nagkalat na rin ang mga books sa table at higaan ko.  Puno na rin improvised book shelf ko.
