All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Woohoo!

Night temperature in Alabang has once again hit 26 degrees. This only means one thing: Christmas is just around the corner. :-)

Anyhoo, I was told a week ago that exchange gifts would happen. For my Gaudete friends, they imposed the Php150 budget. We'll pick out names on Sunday. *Insert excited music here* I can't wait. Really. I mean, I've been living in this subdivision for more than a decade, and it is only now that I found time to mingle and have fun singing with these people. (Except probably for Zyena who I used to sing with before, but we both took our own time for breaks. Oh well, we're back, and this is sooo fun.)

So basically, the reason why I've been procrastinating again on writing, is because I have been searching all over for stuff that I want for Php150. Really. It's not that I can't make up my mind between stuff, it's more like I don't know what I want. And I'm serious.

I hate to admit it. I don't know what I want. Literally and figuratively. Although I do know what I want to have in five years. The irony of my quarter life crisis. *Insert emo music here haha* And now I am being transported back to Richard Gere's Shall We Dance scene where he was asked what he wants… that comes in a box.

I feel for him. Php150 is a pretty good amount to for a nice Christmas present. Why oh why, can't I think of anything that I want? I'm guessing I want something bigger. But since Monique and I are imposing the expenses challenge, I think I've grown to break the habit of wanting too much things, much more things that I don't really need. I know, there's a lot of things out there that I might need and not know it but I seriously can't think of anything. I'm actually at the point where I am asking people who know me what would be a nice gift. (And surprisingly, my mom asked me too what I want for Christmas. We are this clueless.) Could it be that I already have everything that I need and want? Oh well. As pathetic as it may sound, I asked random people, and thankfully, here's what I got (And at this point, I learned there's about two more exchange gift thing I have to hand out a wishlist for.):

• USB Mouse (Cd-R King sells them techie stuff cheap, I think this really fits.)
• Purple or Black Reva thong slippers/sandals (I think these are Php200/pair.)
• Half a roll of Brazo de Mercedes from Shopwise (Seriously, they make the perfect Brazo de Mercedes for me. And at a flat Php150 at that.)
• A bottle of VO5 - Lavender
• Tickets for the Manila run of RENT (Now I think I'm going over board. But this doesn't really count. It doesn't come in a box! Hah!)
• Grande Vanilla Frappe

I can't think of anything else, and that's all I can consider from all the suggestions I got. And oh. I'm hearing out JR's suggestion:

• A bottle of Gilbey's Premium Vodka (Which we will basically use for our New Year flaming shots. )

Now I think I'm happy with my list. I'm really really easy to please. Just don't ask me what I want because then, it would be hard to please me as I can't figure out what I want.

So what do you want for Christmas that comes in a box? ;-)
