hey soul sister by train and teenage dream by darren criss and the warblers is in loop in my pc.

im so excited (well not really) that christmas is coming. though i dont have money, its fine because my nephew will be spending christmas with us here.

the real reason i wanted to blog is to have a definite list of christmas gift to myself and family. you see, whenever i plan for any gift, if i dont put in writing (any form of writing) i will deviate from it or will think of a different gift while im shopping.

so the list will be:

me: new camera. 9the samsung ive been eye-ing) i forgot the model name as i lost the brochure but i know it when i see it

dad: starbucks mug w/their christmas blend and MONEY so he can buy whatever it is that he wants for himself.

mom: honestly and not being boastful or anything here, mom has everything she has and needs. kitchenware??? she doesnt even get to use some of her utensils, bowls, pans... i'll prolly give her a full day at the spa so she can relax.

nephew: i bought way too many stuff for him already and its not even christmas. prolly an educational book and another toy.

brother: i know excatly what my brother need, tshirts. tons and tons of it. since he became a dad, he has never bought anything for himself, because everything is for the baby. so im gonna give him 6 shirts this xmas. the ones that has cool logos.

sister: sis has more choices. i know her type and likes, its usually what i buy. you would be surprise that most of our clothes are the same just in different color and size. she's emulating the older sister ya know. i think i'll buy her a dress.

i'll let you in on a little secret, ive been saving for her grad gift, i dont know what to give her yet, ipod or what?? she's a bit spoiled aint she??

well, shes our bunso and she's the luckiest really, when i was her age, its supposed to be kuya's turn to spoil me, but he cant and he didnt. even with the parents he didnt spoil them. im not blaming him really, because he struggled then and still does. so im actually doing it, since im most able and i can afford to do it... its also some for of payback to my parents who struggled when im college. (coz i was sick then and my medication is costly together with school.) and im glad they're happy.

with brother also, i tend to bend a lot of times with him, especially with the nephew. i once blew my whole savings just to help brother with the hospital bill. but that's okay. whats important is family and my nephew is well and great. besides i have my whole life to live and i will earn it back anyways.

i hope this christmas would be fruitful for all of us. my gift shopping will start next week. wish me luck!
