Christmas and Wishlist

Hey hey heeeey!! Guess what??? It's only 6 days before Christmas!!! O.O

Yes, I surprised myself that I was effinly surprised when a friend (somewhere in our conversation) mentioned it's already Christmas next week~~ **dingdong!**

I find it awkward that I don't feel the season of Christmas at all. I think it's because I am just staying at home the whole time (blame unemployment! ToT). Unlike before when I was still going to school wherein friends, classmates, and the school become busy preparing for the yuletide season; there is nothing left to remind or make me feel the merry mode of Christmastime. Also, in my neighborhood, there are only few who put Christmas decorations, and they rarely turn on the decorative lights during nighttime, so the area still looks like a typical night view. Lastly, my family doesn't really follow Christmas traditions that Filipino families usually practice; like Simbang Gabi, Noche Buena, carolling, Christmas parties, and exchanging of gifts.

But now, since I'm reminded of the fast approaching Christmas day, I just want to share to you some of the things that I want to have. It's not really as a gift for Christmas. But, who knows? Maybe someone might find this blog and might consider giving me at least one of these as a gift. **whishful thinking**

1. External Hard Drive
I have always wanted to have an external hard drive ever since... I forgot... Anyway, it's really useful for having a backup for important files, just in case my laptop will suddenly die. Also, it makes me to have a larger space in my laptop since I can just save pictures and videos in it. Lastly, I can download all the animes and movies I want to watch and just save them all in it and just watch them anytime and anywhere (as long as there is a PC or laptop).

2. New laptop
I have been using my laptop for more than 3 years now. (Is this an achievement? O.o) Since it has become really old and really overworked (and I think I'm a bad owner ToT),  it has been making a weird noise that I have to turn it off and on again just to silence the noise (I think the noise is made by the fan, due to accumulated dust and dirt. Ooops.)

3. DVD Player
I really want to have my own DVD player. My family NEVER bought a DVD player...ever! This is why I have always been deprived of watching (western) movies and series. I only watch movies and series online, which is somewhat painstaking because I still have to wait for the video buffer and all. And, if the internet connection suddenly disappears, it would be a great disappointment and frustration.

4. Electric Oven
I want to have an electric oven because I want to learn how to bake. We have a gas range at home. It is what my mother uses for baking cakes and cupcakes. I am afraid to use it because my mother told me that she has to be careful in opening the oven because the flame might suddenly get big or something.

5. Trip to Japan Ticket (or any place in Asia or... trip around Asia!!)
It has always been my dream to go to Japan (if lucky, to tour Asia~). Reasons? I'm an anime lover. I'm inclined to learning languages (specifically Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin Chinese). I want to see and discover more about Asian culture, traditions, festivals, and the like because they are so beautiful and colorful. Lastly, I want to go sightseeing and food-devouring!

6. Domo-kun Stuff Toy (or any domo-kun stuff)
I like domo-kun. Enough said. XD

7. Cute Hat
You know? The kind of hat that looks like a plushie or a stuff toy? Yes, I really, really, reaaaally want to have one. ToT

8. Novels/Books
I like to read. Unluckily, I don't have all the money to buy all the books I want. That is why I just settle for PDF copies. But it's really different to have a book. You know... The feeling of flipping the pages, of seeing the thickness of the book and how far I have gone reading, and of actually holding a real book! It really breaks my heart every single time I go inside a bookstore and see all those books I CAN'T BUY.



So, that's it! (I guess...) I feel I have a lot of things I want to have, but I only remember these at the moment. I'll just add things on my wishlist by the time I remember those I have forgotten to include~ *teehee*
