We all have our wants and needs and what-have-we. In my quite many failed blogs, I used to make wish lists but they do not come true -- heck! And yet I feel like it's obligatory to still make one; I do like list-making.
With 13 days to go till Christmas Day, I have randomly come up with 13 bullets of wants/wishes. Here they are:
1. My to-be-actually-tech-savvy list is here.
The traditional ones:
2. An analog note-taking device would always be appreciated.
3. Books!
If only my ~trust fund~ or what remains in it can foot the books bill. All above are available in leading book stores, i.e. National BookStore.
Other books I won't mind getting:
Phaidon's The Art Book: The New Edition to compliment my newfound interest in art history.
Ivy Style, Alexander McQueen (The Life and The Legacy), Empress pf Fashion: The Life of Diana Vreeland, Stylists, the list goes on..
I know, I know, Nanay Socorro Ramos would be a lovely godmother to have.
4. Okay.. National BookStore gift certificates.
For my worldly sense and sensibilities: 5. Monocle subscription. Because tt's majhalajay!
6. An H&M store in the Philippines. Please, Mr. Henry Sy or Don Jaime Zobel!
7.Some pieces in Opening Ceremony's Yoko Ono: Fashions for Men are haunting me.
Especially the trousers!
8. This should be more of a goal: find a more meaningful -- and better-paying -- job. My year 1 in insurance-financial services is fast approaching and I'm not 100% sure yet if I'd extend my work.
9. Success for all of my endeavors. For those of my kapamilyas as well.
10. A good watch: one oversized from Swatch, please.
11. Nothing beats getting handwritten letters from friends and family.
12. Looking forward to having some great food and bottles of good/bad alcohol on that special day.
13. Noche Buena groceries for our weaving community nanays.
Hear me out, Santa -- and generous citizens of the world!
My gratitude in advance!
