Hello, friend. How are you? I hope you are well and safe and healthy and strong.
Contrary to what I believed during the beginning of quarantine that I would have more time at my disposal since I would no longer be commuting to and from work nor taking coffee or fast food runs, I actually have less time for myself these days. I attend at least three meetings per day, and work sometimes extends way past 6 PM. I also work on weekends. I am exhausted, but Christmas break looms in the horizon.
Yes, hours have blended into days into weeks into months, and now it's December. Can you believe??
On my last post, I told you about PMDD and how I think I may have it. Well I had some tests done, and yes, I do have it. I also have myomas again, which is shocking to me considering I've already had 11 myomas taken out back in 2018. It appears these nasty, needless, useless nuisances are really intent on bugging me, and now I really do not know how else to deal with them. I am scared of taking pills again because of their effect on my emotions, skin, and weight, so right now I am just ignoring them as long as I can. It's not that difficult to do seeing as how work keeps me so busy.
So, yes, back to the original point of this post. It has been my longstanding tradition in this blog to post my Christmas wish list every first day of December complete with fancy collages. I thought of not doing it this year, but I do not actually want to throw this tradition away and at the same time I figured it could be a good time to revisit this blog and show signs of life.
However, I am not really in the mood to be jolly and festive right now. Sure I still want a typewriter (this has been in my annual Wish Lists since I started this blog) and sure I still want a Silhouette Cameo but I actually do not have the space for them at the moment. (I can't wait to move out again.) It would be great to wish for the vaccine to be readily available soon and for this pandemic to end but I am not eight years old. My Wish Lists are all tangible things, bonus points if they are nicely wrapped under the Christmas tree.
I want a Wish List but I do not know what to put on it (and believe me I have been racking my brain for about two weeks now. So I have decided to go ahead with My Christmas 2020 Wish List that is Not a Wish List.
Instead of a wish list, I am writing down Things I Wanted and Got and Now You Should Consider Them as Gifts to Your Family and Friends. A gift guide of sorts, if you will.
 |
| Things I Wanted and Got and Now You Should Consider Them as Gifts to Your Family and Friends |
- My Starbucks mug for honey citron tea. It is such a happy color and I love the tiny spoon. Thanks to Ashley for enabling me!
- My Kindle Paperwhite is one of my favorite gifts given to me by J. I had a "where have you been all my life?" moment with my first Kindle, and this Paperwhite was such an upgrade! There are a lot of cute cases available now in Shopee.
- Silk Slumber set from Posh Flip. I have been wanting to switch to using silk pillow cases because they're more gentle for the hair and skin, and this set comes with a pillow case, a scrunchie, a hair tie, and an elastic hairband. They're all handmade by the shop owner, and they smelled so luxurious when they arrived to me.
- This Blythe factory doll is my newest doll, and she is also J's gift to me. Depending on your interests and preferences, there are a lot of doll options available online together with clothes and accessories. You will definitely be spoilt for choice!
- Outlook Calendar is easy and convenient especially when you are jumping from one Teams meeting to another, but there's really something inherently satisfying with listing down your to-dos for the day and ticking them off throughout the day. They should bottle this feeling, I will definitely buy. Anyway, this aquamarine Quest Journal will fulfill this purpose for me next year.
- These coasters are resin works of art handmade by my twinnie Kristel. Check out her shop Handcrafted By Tellie and prepare your wallets.
- I really do not know why, but this pair of Sabbat VOOPLAY True Wireless Earphones in Cereal makes me so happy every time I look at it. Maybe it's because they look like Biogesics LMAO.
- If the Kindle Paperwhite is one of my favorites among J's gifts to me, then my yellow Nintendo Switch Lite and Animal Crossing New Horizons game are probably my ULTIMATE favorites! This game brings me unbridled joy every time I play it, and with all the updates coming I do not think this will change anytime soon!
And there you have it, my Not a Wish List but a haul post that doubles as a Gift Guide! I think I have more to add in the coming days as my other packages arrive, but don't hold your breath for it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. I appreciate you. Take care and keep safe!
As per my tradition every first day of December, I'm posting my Christmas wish list here just in case Santa's feeling generous. (^_−)☆ This list actually looks scant as compared to my lists from the previous years. I don't know, I guess it's because you want less as you turn older? Or maybe you just get realistic that you won't get everything in your list anyway? Hee. Anyway, these are the things that I don't really need, but I figured would make my life extra sweet.
That's it. That's everything.
But, you know, I've been extra good this year so if Santa's feeling extra generous then I wouldn't complain with getting a new camera or a new apartment near the office either. Heh.
What are the items in your Christmas wish list? I would love to know!
- Meet and greet with Nate Ruess. Whoever can give me the chance to meet Nate Ruess in person before or after his Manila show on January, ohmygollygoodness I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
- Typewriter. This has been a constant staple in my wish lists ever since I lost mine to a fire in our neighborhood back in 2011. I don't even know if they still manufacture the ribbons for typewriters, or maybe I can buy them in bulk somewhere? A typewriter under my tree will really make me happy.
- Moleskine Watercolor Journal. This is for when I go out of town. There have been instances when I wanted to bring my travel watercolor kit with me but I always end up not being able to do so because I find bringing loose leaves of 4"x6" and 6"x8" watercolor paper that I pre-cut too much of a hassle.
- Humans of New York. The entries of HONY on Facebook always makes me tear up, and I would love to have the book.
- NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna and Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color in Crushed Plum. Because a Krissyfied Wish List ain't complete without a lipstick in it.
- Astronomy-themed anything. A date in the Planetarium, a night of star-watching --- basically anything with stars.
- Hipster Jasmine Funko Pop! It's not in the photo because it's not available in the photo-editing website I am using so just kindly click the link to see how she looks like. If you don't want to, well, okay, hee. I want this because it's my favorite Disney princess AND she's wearing glasses.
That's it. That's everything.
But, you know, I've been extra good this year so if Santa's feeling extra generous then I wouldn't complain with getting a new camera or a new apartment near the office either. Heh.
What are the items in your Christmas wish list? I would love to know!
I feel like I just wrote my first post for 2017 and now, [just] 62 posts later, it's already December.
Wow.
As per a tradition I started years ago, here's my Christmas wish list in case Santa's feeling generous. Also known as a cheat sheet for my boyfriend, heh. (^_−)☆ It's not much, and as compared to my previous wish lists they're filled with more toys than usual. Nevertheless these are the things that will bring me joy and delight come Christmas day.
- Camera. I'm happy with the quality of my phones (I use an iPhone 6S and a Huawei P9) but a camera will be so much better.
- Dollhouse and miniatures. I've always been fascinated with dollhouses and I'd like to take a stab at making my own miniatures. Instagram is a treasure trove of inspiration! Check out Lavender Belle and be amazed. The only challenge here is the space to display it in.
- BECCA X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette. I've wanted this palette ever since I saw it and the glowing (glowing, get it? heh) reviews further cemented my need to have it. However I made it a point to reduce my makeup purchase this year (I am currently succeeding because I haven't bought any lipsticks yet since this year started!) so I am putting this on my wish list. But who knows, I might just go ahead and allow myself this little indulgence.
- Teenage Fashion Model Barbie. The Teenage Fashion Model Barbie is an iconic Barbie doll in the sense that it is the very first Barbie doll ever produced and sold, and any doll collector should have one.
#TheBarbieLook™ Barbie® Doll – City Chic Style.I have no other justifications on why I want this doll except that I really, really, really like her face and hair and the way she has a journal and a pencil (that fit in her bag!) as accessories. Ugh. (Wish granted December 3, 2017!)
Sewing machine.Since I'm collecting dolls, I would also like to try making clothes for them. I [virtually] met a lot of very talented people on the Facebook groups I belong to like Wawie who makes her own Barbie clothes and dioramas. I also bought clothes from her and the quality is very nice! It would be really cool if I can also learn how to make my own. (Wish granted December 13, 2017!)
And that's it.
How about you, what are the items on your Christmas wish list?
My annual tradition of posting my Christmas wish list on the first day of December comes a day late because I totally forgot. I didn't want to make one anymore as I don't get every thing on the lists I make anyway but my boyfriend asked me to make one so here it is, I guess. Heh.
I used to make very elaborate wish lists complete with a collage but ever since Polyvore folded I haven't been made aware of any good websites to make them with, so here's a simple accompanying photo.

- Pat McGrath Lipsticks
I was supposed to purchase at least two tubes from Sephora's Black Friday sale so I can take advantage of the 15% discount and get a Sephora brush canister set as GWP but I just couldn't justify the Php 2,400 price tag of one tube, let alone two. BUT IT'S SO PRETTY! I have the Pat McGrath Mini MatteTrance Lipstick Trio in Colour Blitz and they have the best matte lipstick formula I have ever tried in my life. The packaging is also very luxurious. I just need a truly big win to justify gifting it to myself, or someone very generous to give it to me as a present. I pored over reviews all weekend and narrowed down my choices to the following: I want the BlitzTrance Lipsticks in Club Kiss, Lady Stardust, and Blood Rush, LuxeTrance Lipsticks in Beauty Junkie and Wrecked, MatteTrance Lipsticks in Elson and Guinevere, and Obsessive Opulence MatteTrance Lipstick in Omi.
- Typewriter
This has been a constant staple in all the wish lists I made since I started making them here on my blog. Will 2019 finally be the year I get one? We wait with bated breath.
- Oven
I want to learn how to bake, or at least ask my sister to bake for me, so this will come handy.
- Silhouette Cameo
I am getting this for myself next year but I am listing it here also so it can be crossed off my list, that I realize is tantamount to adding a task that's already finished to a to do list, heh.
Let it be noted that I also will not be against getting Fully Booked gift cards.
That's it for my Christmas 2019 wish list. It's a nice feeling that I had a challenging time composing one, mostly because I already have most of what I need and want. If there's anything else I pray for, it's good health for me and my loved ones, clarity, and peace of mind.
I wish you a happy December.
There's an awful lot of people who can't believe it's December.

Yep. A blink and a sigh, and we're here.
Continuing my tradition of posting my wish list just in case Santa's feeling generous. (^_−)☆
As per my tradition also, let me re-share this Christmas playlist I made a couple of years ago for the benefit of my blog's new readers. Hope you like it!
Whew! December. How did we get here in the first place? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the last month of 2014! Make it count. ☆
Continuing my tradition of posting my wish list just in case Santa's feeling generous. (^_−)☆
- Watercolor. Watercolor in tubes or palettes, watercolor brushes, watercolor brush pens, watercolor pads — I WANT THEM ALL. (Specifically requesting for brushes 0, 00, and 000, and at least 200 gsm for watercolor pads, please.) I am so glad I went to Liz's watercolor workshop and unlocked my potential. If I could learn how to draw (even just a little) and paint, then I can do anything.
- Washi tape. I mentioned my slight obsession with washi tape on my previous post. They can get really expensive especially when you buy a lot at the same time, but I just can't resist. Purpz left a comment that washi tapes can be bought for as low as P3.00 each from CD-R King! Insane! I hope I can drop by soon.
- Magnetic Poetry Kits. They're fun to use and excellent for practicing playing with words with. I would like to have the Original Kit, the Poet Edition, the Happiness themed kit, and the Haiku kit. I made this (and a lot of others I haven't posted yet) with my Book Lover Kit.
- Journals and pens. Because I am a woman who gets overwhelmed with joy at the sight of pretty journals, pens, and other stationery, and because one can never have enough notebooks and pens.
- Yellow umbrella. My favorite TV show in all the world ended this year and because I love collecting stuff tied to pop culture, I would very much want to own a yellow umbrella. The yellow umbrella may or may not also be a symbolism for a different wish. ^_^"
- Amazon gift cards. Because Kindle ebooks.

A blink and what feels like one too many sighs, and it's December.
I know I say this a lot, but seriously, WHERE DID THE MONTHS GO? Did we enter a portal days are less than 24 hours long? Did we somehow unlock the mysteries of time and make it go faster? I don't really know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Since 2011, it has been a tradition for me to post my Christmas wish list on the first day of December in case Santa's feeling generous, but today I didn't even realize it was time to make this year's list if not for Timehop reminding me so. And so I spent the idle hours of this day thinking to myself what I want to receive this Christmas so I can start doing one of my snazzy collages again...
... and I came up with nothing.
I mean, sure, I've wanted a typewriter for so long and a white Kindle Paperwhite would be very, very, very nice to have, but, I don't know, in the grand scheme of things, with the amount of distress and political upheavals we've been having lately, I just feel like no one really cares if I get a paperweight or a new ebook reader or the Hamiltome for Christmas.
Now I don't know if this means I've matured (which is all well and good) or if I just became jaded (which I don't really want to be).
Am I too old for Santa's list?
Maybe. But still, that doesn't stop me from feeling festive and excited for this season. I just finished ordering presents for my aunts, uncles, and most of my friends, and I'm looking forward to distributing my gifts to them.
Last Tuesday we also had our office Christmas party, and it was a lot of fun. I think this was my favorite party yet because we were asked to invite our loved ones with us, and naturally I brought my love Miah.
It's his birthday in a couple of weeks!
Speaking of birthdays and celebrations, you should definitely go to Freezer Burn in Bonifacio High Street as soon as possible and get Simbang Gabi, a special Christmas flavor that boasts of salted egg ice cream and freshly baked bibingka.
Who would have thought that one of our favorite Pinoy Christmas delicacies can have a twist as special as this? I wish I can get my old metabolism back and eat everything I want without worrying about the extra pounds. OH! Can that be my Christmas wish?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How about you, what are the items in your Christmas wish list? I hope you get your hearts' desires, as well as the wisdom to deal with them when you do finally get them.

- Typewriter - I used to have a typewriter with cursive letters, but sadly I lost it together with all our belongings in a big fire back in 2001. I know it's heavy and could be impractical, but I still want to have one again.
- Leather-bound journal and pens - Nothing beats putting pen to paper. Alunsina makes really nice ones.
2014 planner - I still rely on paper planners even with smartphones and Google Calendar. Old school, I know, but it works for me.Crossing this out as the Belle de Jour team is sending me my own BDJ Power Planner as appreciation for my patronage from way back. Thanks, BDJ team!- Yoga mat - I started practicing yoga during the last quarter of this year. Having my own mat will let me practice properly even at home.
Leather bucket bag - I've been getting a lot of use out of my yellow bucket bag lately and I just think it would be nice to have one made of leather, preferably in brown or tan.Crossing this out as I found one from Ghoent Junior that would be perfect for me! It can even be transformed into a backpack. It's leatherette, but it will do. The best thing about it is that 100% of the sales goes to help one of Ghoent's officemates who is seriously ill. People have such kind hearts.- How I Met Your Mother DVDs - My favorite TV show is ending next year and I just think it would be nice to have something to hold on to. Preferably with deleted scenes and other bonus featurettes. ;)
- DIY classes - I am a big nerd and I love learning about different kinds of things. I really enjoyed the stamp-making and dyeing workshop by Craft MNL that I attended back in March and I would love to go to more, especially their amigurumi and/ or doll-making workshops.
- X-Acto knife - How weird to include knives in a Christmas wish list LOL, but I'd like an X-Acto knife to help me carve stamps more precisely.
- Makeup - Receiving makeup is always nice. I would love eyeliners and eyebrow products. Or lipsticks. You can never go wrong with lipsticks.
There you go, my Christmas wish list for 2013. Just for the record, I got almost everything I included in my 2011 and 2012 wish lists. "If you really want something, the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." (^_−)☆
By the way, here's a Christmas playlist I made last year. Sharing it here again just because Christmas always makes me feel happy and fuzzy and warm inside. Enjoy!
Hope you have a great December!
Because it's that time of the year again ;)
'Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to do that than by sharing our blessings and making *ehem*a friend*ehem* happy? Or at least by helping a friend get what she wants, by constantly reminding her to keep her cool around oh I don't know, sales and pretty shoes?
Before doing this wish list I consulted the one I made last year and I'm glad to say I got almost all of them! The contact lens is in the very near future (next month, hopefully), I'll get a digital perm when my hair is already long enough, but the Chanel purse remains unattainable LOL. This year I got a credit card, a camera, a new computer, and a new phone so I'm already all set as far as wishes from last year go. Hopefully I can do the same for this year's list :)

| Moleskine planner, preferably in pink |
I have been buying Belle de Jour PowerPlanners for four years now and though I agree that yes they're very pretty, I must say that they leave little room for customization and creativity. [Meanwhile I still refuse to be drawn to the Starbucks Planner bandwagon.] I really want a Moleskine planner, but why does it have to be so expensive? LOL I'm planning to give it to myself as a New Year's gift ;)

This has been a permanent fixture in my wish lists for years now [video stores here no longer have any stocks of this movie], but I am more than happy to say it'll finally(!!!) be crossed off my list! I already have a VCD copy and a torrent-downloaded copy but because it is my ultimate favorite movie I just HAVE to have my own DVD of it. Much thanks to my credit card, PayPal, and eBay, my copy is now on its way to the Philippine soils ♥
I do not really want want it to the point that I cannot sleep pining for it, but I just thought it would be a nifty little gadget to have. Nevertheless I am happy with my personal computer, netbook, Corby Delphi, and point-and-shoot digital camera so an iPod Touch is not an urgent need.
This is another neat gadget to have, mainly because it will make carrying my books much easier. But I'm still over the fence whether I really want one or not. Meh I shouldn't have included it in my wish list then LOL.

| iPod Touch |

| Kindle |

| Toy Story DVD set |

| Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery |
Back when I didn't have the slightest interest to read this book, I saw it in bookstores all.the.time. Now, now that I would really, really want to read it, well guess what? All bookstores I've been to have run out of copies. Funny how life works that way, eh? I would really want to read it because at least two persons already have told me that I remind them of this book's heroine. I wonder why? That is why I need to read this book.
I had the paperbacks but I sold them [except for the fourth, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, because it was a gift from my ex-boyfriend Athan] because I wanted to buy the boxed set. Surprise, surprise, the boxed set has been available for a couple of years now but I still haven't gotten around to buying one. Why do you have to be so expensive? For all you know I would be able to save for my own set once bookstores here run out of stocks x_x
You gotta love Rebecca Bloomwood nee Brandon. With all her frivolity and excesses, she is a naturally kindhearted person, and I must say I can really sympathize with her. She may very well be my fictional counterpart ;D
It was so sad to watch this series end. I am thankful for all the times the whole cast of this TV show entertained me in all those days I spent alone in my old apartment. I just looove Marc and Amanda :)
 |
| Harry Potter boxed set |
 |
| Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella |
 |
| Ugly Betty DVD boxed set of Seasons 1 - 4 |
 |
| Trainers, preferably in pink |
 |
| These boots ♥ Still choosing between white and light pink |
I saw these from Melai's online shop's pre-order album and fell in love. Wearing boots in Manila can elicit stares and unwanted attention, but I believe that if you carry an ensemble well then there's nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, this would be perfect for the the trips I have planned to make next year ;)
 |
| Pretty headbands ♥ |
I love headbands because they always add the perfect touch to any girly outfit. I wouldn't mind receiving pretty headbands, especially those from e.g.g. And yeah, I showed this Christmas wish list to a friend, and he immediately called dibs on giving me the headbands (since they're the least expensive LOL).
Of course, chandeliers (LOLOLOL), journals, plushies or pillows, desserts, and other stuff I can use to jazz up my new apartment with are very much welcome as well. ;) What about you, what are the items in your Christmas Wish Lists? :)
*All photos are from Google. No copyright infringement intended.
PS: Last call for people who might want to receive some Christmas cheer! I'm sending out cards to everyone who'll want them! Just send me an email at krissyfied[at]gmail[dot]com with your mailing address.
Alternatively titled: Krissy's To Buy List
It took a blink and a sigh, and before I knew it it's the first day of December! Here is a list of things that will make me a very happy girl come Christmas as a helpful reference to family and friends who might want to give me something in this season of giving. Heehee. In no particular order:
- Kindle Touch. I used to want a Kindle Fire, but after weighing the pros and cons, I think a Kindle Touch and its e-ink technology would suit me better, since all I wanted in the first place was to have a nifty gadget that would make reading much easier for me. I was supposed to buy one a couple of weeks ago but decided to just have my netbook fixed. I now wish I didn't.
- A new camera. I have had my camera for less than six months but it is already showing major signs of tear and wear. The lens has gone wonky and pictures are not as clear and crisp as I would want them to be. I don't want a dSLR as it's too bulky for me and my lifestyle so a great-quality point-and-shoot will do, like the Canon S95.
Planner.I am eyeing the Paulo Coelho Moments 2012 Day Planner that contains really pretty artworks and select quotes from books written by Coelho :) - Thank you Michelle for getting me a Moonleaf Tea Shop planner! :)New glasses.I wish this is not here, but this is more of a necessity for me. Blame my genes. It's time to get new glasses for poor eyesighted me. I'm leaning towards getting a sexy tortoise-shell pair. - I got the Ray-Ban tortoise-shell pair I wanted from the PRIVADO sale!Contact lens.I think it's really time for me to get one as I've been attending quite a lot of events recently and eyeglasses and a pretty cocktail dress don't really match. I just have to get over my fear of putting foreign objects in my eyes, plus the not-to-easy-to-swallow price. I have high astigmatism so they'd have to be especially made. And once I get them, I know I have to be extra careful - God forbid I lose contact lens worth P4,000. Ulp. - DONE! I finally took a leap of faith and got contact lens last December 16 ;DConcert tickets!I've been to lots of great concerts this year, and really, the feeling of seeing and hearing insanely-talented artists perform in the flesh - priceless! One concert I'm really looking forward to for next year is Hanson! - Tickets for the January 2, 2012 2PM show of Disney on Ice for me, my sister and my cousin! Yayyy! :DMAC Girl About Town.One swipe of this ultra-pretty pink lipstick and I instantly feel fabulous! I suffered great trauma when I was mugged last May, and you can just imagine how devastating it was to have lost my possessions - even more so when it's hard to get a replacement. My heart was broken when my favorite lipstick was taken as it's not available here in Manila. I wish my Tita Jean can read this now ;) - My Tita Jean read this list and promised to buy me a tube, yay!- Awesome and legendary friends. I put a photo of the How I Met Your Mother gang up there because I just love their group's dynamics. I just wish the friendships I have now can be as strong as what they have ♥
What are the items in your wish list?
Eleven days before Christmas! How are you coping with the holidaze?
If I would be asked for my heart's one true desire, I would say contentment with what I have. But since I am not there yet, I say GIVE ME ALL THE THINGS!
Just kidding. I don't really want ALL THE THINGS. I just want clear, glowing, younger-looking skin, and a few key pieces that would add a little bit more sparkle this season.
This is where Althea Korea comes in.
They have all the things to make this happen, and just look at that holiday-themed box I can reuse. ♡ Here is my Althea Korea wish list.
As I said in my review, this is now my favorite sunscreen so I need more: one for my parents' house, one in the condo, and one in my boyfriend's parents' house. Therefore, wish list!
I loved the MIssha Perfect Cover BB Cream and I am guessing I would love this one as well, only its in a cushion form. The combination of 5 Hyaluronic Acid, Adenosine, and Collagen is said to provide a moisturizing base and help create moist and elastic skin with the brand's special moisture glow.
I just love the colors here! I have a lot of eye shadow palettes I play with regularly but I don't have a coffee-themed palette yet, so this is perfect!
Velvety texture! Bright glitters! And the fact that this is in a giftable box makes my heart flutter with delight!
So yeah, it's either I get my wishes in this list or, I don't know, begin examining my personal habits like getting enough sleep and exercising? Heh.
How about you, what are your Christmas wishes? I do hope you get every thing on your list. ♡

Velvety texture! Bright glitters! And the fact that this is in a giftable box makes my heart flutter with delight!
When using heavy makeup I'd like to switch from using micellar water (that I constantly need to reapply to remove my makeup completely) and use an effective cleansing oil. I heard that this product does the job and more, and I would really like to try this.
Speaking of cleansing, I would really like to see what the fuss is about with using gadgets/ gizmos like this as opposed to washing my face the normal way.
I'm getting old, guys. I am turning 33 next year and I need an effective eye cream because I would like to keep wrinkles and dark circles at bay as long as I possibly could.
This is another product that I am intrigued by and so would like to try. If this wish is granted I can check for you whether its claims to improve skin elasticity and lift the face is true. There are a lot of ways to make the skin look younger. For example, lasers are interesting skincare treatment devices because they bridge the resurfacing and rejuvenation gap. Some laser devices specifically perform resurfacing procedures, also called laser peels. But laser skincare clinicians have been buying cosmetic devices for their clinics for decades that also perform other types of laser rejuvenation procedures. Laser peels are performed by ablative (surface treatment) lasers, which can also treat deeper skin layers in some instances. They eliminate debris and skin cells that are dead to help healthy cells take over.
My friend/ workmate Alex has a bunch of these in the office and last week I tried one and I WAS AMAZED. I also want a bunch of these in my room, or in my work drawer, or in my purse for emergency zit-uations!
How about you, what are your Christmas wishes? I do hope you get every thing on your list. ♡
A wink and a sigh, and it's December.
Posting my simple Christmas wish list here just in case Santa's feeling generous ;)
- Kindle - I've wanted one for ages! This e-reader is in my wish list year after year (see 2011's), but until now I still haven't brought myself to get one. I don't even know how many generations Amazon has released, all I know is that I want even a basic model so I can lug my digital books everywhere! I have an Android app in my phone that currently holds more than 200 books and I've read more than 30 of them already, but the Kindle's electronic ink screen is more eye-friendly than my smartphone's backlight.
- Typewriter - I used to have a typewriter with cursive letters, and the school projects and write-ups I produced using it were my favorites. Sadly I lost it together with all of our belongings and our house in a big fire. Now I want one again, maybe to complete my 'starving writer' image? I don't know. Nothing beats paper and ink, at least for me.
- Digital camera - my camera has failed me yet again, and that is the reason why I've been having problems with photos for my blog lately. I need a decent point-and-shoot for events and just about any mundane thing I can post in the Internet that I alone find interesting.
Le Petit Prince Moleskine Planner - I was thisclose to getting one for myself the other day, but I wanted to hold out to see what Moonleaf Tea Shop will come up with for 2013, as I really made great use of my 2012 planner. But if someone will be willing to give me this, I would gladly and wholeheartedly accept.Crossed off on 5 December 2012!- The Dark Knight Rises Trilogy DVD collection - I admit, my heart sank a bit when I found out this P1,550 collection includes a copy of The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy, seeing as I bought myself that quite expensive book just last month. Thankfully it's only a 64-page excerpt. Whew. Now I know some people might wonder why I want this when I've already seen (and memorized some parts of) all three movies. BUT IT'S BATMAN, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
- Sandman collection by Neil Gaiman - I love Neil Gaiman's works and it's a bit embarrassing that I haven't read any of this collection until last month. I got my first taste of the Sandman (umm, that sounded wrong) when I slept over at my officemate Anne's house. She and her boyfriend have the best. bookshelf. ever!!! I stayed up until past two in the morning finishing two books and only stopped when my imagination was already conjuring too many scary scenarios. I spent the rest of the next day nursing a terrible headache but it was worth it. Anne doesn't like lending out her books and I want my own copies, so, anyone? Haha.
- Orly Star Spangled - In case you haven't noticed, I love movies and books and fictional worlds. This particular shade reminds me of Dorothy's iconic red slippers. It would be so cool to color my nails this red for Christmas, Valentine's Day, my birthday, and just about any occasion that needs red! And glitters!
- The sweater with the red heart print may or may not symbolize my request to Santa for someone to hug this coming year. ;)
Because I am nosy, I want to know what your Christmas wish lists include! Who knows, if we wish hard enough, it might come true ♥ Happy December 1st, everyone! Let's all make the last month of 2012 count!
Eight days before Christmas! Wow, can you believe that? The days are a-zooming and I am not yet completely done with my Christmas shopping! Every year around this time I complain and swear I will start doing my Christmas shopping early next year so I won't be beaten by the holiday rush, but I guess I never learn :D My social calendar is full with plans to see friends and relatives and I looove it :)
It's a time when people's pockets are looser; perfect time for giving and sharing as the spirit of the season leaves us feeling warm and fuzzy all over. I am a pink and fabulous girl who loves receiving gifts as much as I love giving them, and this blog post is dedicated to just that, a list of stuff I would love to get not just this Christmas but for the coming year. So yeah, it's my Wish List: 2010 Edition. If friends and family won't give them to me I am sure I will still get them, thanks to my willpower when wanting anything. As Paulo Coelho very wisely said on my favorite book of his The Alchemist, "When you really want something, the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." So hey universe, I know I am just a little speck as compared to your vastness, grandeur and ineffability, but I would greatly appreciate it if you conspire with your, umm, conspirators in getting me these this coming year (I love that the universe sounds so badass when you think of him/ her conspiring with others :D):
- LASIK. Or the next best thing - contact lens.
I have worn eyeglasses since I was in second grade (eight years old). Can you believe that? I am my high school batch's geekest. There is only another one from my Elementary class who wore eyeglasses that time, and he's not wearing them now anymore x_x
wearing glasses
without glasses
I would like to play with eyeshadow and other whatnots, even try those fancy contact lens just for fun but I cannot see without my trusted pink eyeglasses. I wanted to try graded contact lens for the longest time, but they're so expensive (because of the added cost due to my astigmatism. Thank you, genes.) and I'm afraid I'd just lose them. Besides, I am squeamish about putting strange foreign objects on my eyes. Eek. But this coming year, I am going to conquer my fear. Please pray that I might have the courage. :D
- A point-and-shoot digital camera. Plus points if it's in pink. (Wish granted on February 4, 2010)
Casio Exilim Z150 (front)
Casio Exilim Z150 (back)
Our Casio Exilim I-forgot-what-the-exact-model-is conked out on us this year, and I was forced to blog using photos taken by my phone Alister's 2mp lens. Alister takes decent photos but I want clearer ones. I can't wait to lug around a pink camera. Or a white one, so she can go well with my white netbook Lady Fabrize.
- A new phone. Plus points if it's in pink.
Ah, the pink phone conspiracy. I have had two pink phones before and you really cannot deny their cuteness factor. Or come to think of it. a white phone will also do, so she can also go well with Lady Fabrize. Yes, I am a lady who likes matchy-matchy stuff.
This Samsung Star looks gooood
I love Alister (who houses my Globe SIM) and my other-phone-who-doesn't-have-a-name (who houses my Sun SIM) but I have had him for a year now. Plus, him not being wifi-enabled makes him look ancient. Sorry Alister. But I will still keep you and won't ditch you even when I get a new one. Because I love you like that and you have served me well. :)
- A digital perm.
Yes, the dilemma I posted here has been solved. I have decided I really want a digiperm.
I want loose curls
Now if only I have the cash already I will have this treatment right now, but with the status of my finances right now, I guess I would have to wait for a bit more. x_x I wish I can have it before HSBC's Holiday Party! x_x
- An external hard drive
Because you can almost hear my personal computer's internal hard drive weep with the weight he carries. I'd like to get an external hard drive so I can back up my files, plus have room for other stuff I'd like to download thanks to the wonderful world wide web. Plus points if it looks girly. :)
- A credit card
I know it would signal the end of a debt-free life as I know it. But I would very much like to have a credit card just so I can have a Paypal account and finally order stuff from etsy sites I want to buy stuff from! x_x I know I don't really need them... But you can't justify wants so I won't even try. :)
- Nail art pens and Konad stamps
I may not know how to draw to save my life and I can't even doodle, but I know talent when I see it. And this, you can't deny there is some potential in here folks.
Strawberry nails!
Watermelon nails! (Sorry the "seeds" of the niddle finger are bigger than those of the rest.)
I made these manually (using just the brush included with the nail polish). I also designed some hearts before on my nails, and flowers on my friend/ officemate Sasha's, too bad I don't have photos of them. Just think how many other designs I can make with nail art pens. :D
- A chain-link bag
A Chanel sounds great, but unattainable at the moment.
via Google Image Search
There's just something sexy and ultra-feminine about it. I like!
- DVDs of my favorite movies
I love collectiing original DVDs of my favorite movies and I already have quite an impressive collection. But why, oh why, does my top favorite have to be so elusive?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Have you seen this? If not, I would highly recommend it. Sigh. Beautiful, beautiful film. Just. Beautiful. I have searched high and low for a copy of it but video stores here are already out of copies. I have the original VCD and my bestfriend Jerome has already downloaded a copy of it for me but I still want the original DVD, with the features, commentary and all. So far the only store I saw this in stock is Amazon.com. And that, my friends, is the reason why I NEED a credit card.
500 Days of Summer
I am absolutely in love with this movie. I have seen it seven times already but I never fail to cry at my favorite scenes. Read my review here! The DVD comes out on December 22. This is attainable! :D
So, that's all for now. Wow, that's a pretty short list as compared to some wish lists I have done in the past. I guess I will update this post from time to time, and will update you on the status of my "attaining" these as the universe conspires with his/ her conspirators. Will post a link on the top link bar. :)
So, *coughcoughwinkwinkhinthintnudgenudge* Happy 8 Days Before Christmas, everyone! ♥♥
