My antithesis to everyone's wish lists

So here's a list of what not to get me this christmas:

1. DVDs. More often than not, I already have them. And if you really don't know me that well, chances are, you're just gonna give me something I might not really like.

2. scented candles.  I'm not a candle person and i feel like it's a waste of money if i don't end up using them anyways. They'll probably just gather dust in my room.

3. GCs (gift certificates). It's the same as saying "I'm too lazy to find you a gift"

4. a random shirt from a midnight tiangge. shirts are fine except that they could be: 
         1. not really my type. 
         2. not in the color i want 
         3. too big (people just assume sizes all the time)
         4. would have prints worse than Japanese signs

5. CDs. I no longer have a cd player and it's quite a hassle to listen to it using the PCs dvd-rom (i'm lazy that way). And plus, I might already have access to that album via Limewire, lastfm or imeem. Heck, it might even be in my iPod already.

6. belts. Not really a belt person unless my pants are 2 sizes up and i absolutely need to fasten it to my waist for security purposes.

7. keychains/key rings. The only keys i have are of my office lockers which is already have on my office ID so I don't think this is necessary. 

8. hair accessories (especially headbands). Headbands squeeze my brain. Clips/hair pins are too vain for me.

9. figurines/tiny whatnots.  see #2.

10. stufffed toys. waste of money, gathers too much dust.

11. imitation flipflops. C'mon HAVIONIS or HAVANA don't really feel the same.

12. dangling earrings. Not into dangly things.. a simple stud is better, or a replacement barbel for my helix/top ear piercing.

13. face towel. What do you use it for, really? unless I'm sick and need a sponge bath and plus, my mom has enough supply to cover me.

14. PJs. Just because the cold weather we're experiencing now is momentary. Try nyo mag-PJs sa summer.

15. undergarments. I swear I've gotten some from relatives and they end up being too big or too snug and just not right. It's really a no-no to assume I'm still a 32a. C'MON.

16. hankerchief. I have enough of this, half I don't even use because good 'ol kleenex in my bag works just fine. I also have a knack for baby wipes now so I don't have to run to the bathroom to wash my hands after eating (let's say) chips or chocolates.


I probably have more but I'll shut up now in case you change your mind about getting me anything at all. haha. Merry Christmas everyone!

Overheard: Summary of Twilight in less than 10 words

(re-posted from tiff's multiply)

I just have to share this, i laughed so hard when she told us this story (i'm giggling while i'm posting this)...

Reposted from my cute sister's blog entry:

While riding in an fx. Julie sitting at the back part, quietly listening to the noisy passengers infront. A girl and a gay guy caught her attention with this conversation:

Gay guy: Napanood mo na yung Twilight?
Girl: Hindi pa, pero this weekend I'll make sure.
Gay guy: Eh, ano ba ang kwento ng Twilight na yan?
Girl: Maganda siya! *very enthusiastic* Kwento niya is yung girl nainlab sa isang dracula!
Gay guy: Dracula?
Girl: Oo, kaya lang hindi sila pwede. Kasi nga dracula siya.

~o0o~
After a few minutes, same girl ang gay talking:

Gay guy: Diba yung bida ng Twilight nasa Harry Potter din?
Girl: Ay! Oo! Siya yung bida ng Harry Potter!
Gay guy: Siya ba yun? hmm. Swerte naman niya. Dami movie.
Girl: Oo, nga eh.
Gay guy: Anong pangalan niya nga ule?
Girl: Si Daniel Radclip! Yun nga, si Daniel.

..at ginawa pang paperclip si Harry Potter. ~__~'

~o0o~
Extra lang. On my way home. Talking to my friend:

Friend: So, kelan tayo manonood ng twilight with your family?
Julie: Sunday. Bukas na yun, Saturday morning na ngayon eh.
Friend: Ah, bukas na. Okay. *suddenly looks confused* So ngayon na tayo manonood?
Julie: huh?

To my friend: ang labo mo dude, grabe! haha.

Is it me you're looking for?

I have not done any Christmas shopping because I've been living under a rock the last few weeks or so.. I can't wait until this is all over because I really can't enjoy anything else until I know for sure that this phase is resolved. And hopefully my holidays are indeed happy. I have 6 (scary) more days until the BIG day. 

Until then, I'll go hide under my rock again.
