I know I said I'll veer away from writing about my personal life but I feel like the venues where I could post has become more and more limited. Twitter only allows 140 characters, Instagram is better suited for photos, and Facebook.. Well, we all know what Facebook has become.
It's nothing serious really. I just wanted to tell you about my Christmas wish list, or lack thereof. When my sister asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told her I had to think first. And when T asked me last week, I couldn't give him an answer too. For some reason, as I grew older, I had less and less material "wants" on my wish list. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of age or maybe because if I have a "want", I could buy it on my own anyway.
As kids, we weren't really spoiled but we were not deprived either. My dad wanted to buy us everything but my mom kept us grounded, which I understand now, because it taught us to appreciate both the little and big things in life. My sister and I were only allowed to wish for toys on our birthdays and on Christmas. Not that we didn't have new things the rest of the year but we could only ask for what we specifically wanted on those two occasions. I guess that's why I could come up with a list every time when I was younger because I've been waiting one year to ask for it. My old blog theme (maybe some of you can remember it) even has a wish list on the side where I cross items off when I receive them already.
Back to the question of what I want for Christmas this year..
Last week, T already got me an Acca Kappa brush from Rustan's because I mentioned to him that I damaged my old one. I thought that was a suitable Christmas gift already but he still told me, "Babe, wag mo na ako pahirapan, just tell me what you want." So I tried browsing online shopping sites to see if there was anything that would catch my fancy. There was none. And that's when I remembered my wish last year and the years before that...
