This week, I crossed out some items from my Christmas 2006 Wish List.
On Sunday, I was on yahoo! messenger with my brother Rambi. He asked me if I wanted an iPod Nano. He is stationed at an Air Force Base in California and will be sending his iPod Video to his girlfriend through a balikbayan-cousin, so now he wants me to have his girlfriend’s iPod Nano. He told me he had seen that it was on my Wish List. Well, well, who would have thought? I could never afford anything like that so I am only too happy to receive it. Haha. And to think I was going to settle for a knock off.
On Sunday night, I had late dinner with my favorite cousin who just flew to Manila from L.A. for a 3-week vacation. She brought a heap of gifts for our family as usual, from our relatives in the U.S. I usually get bags and colognes. And this time I got the same deal, two bags and one cologne. I noticed though, that since Ippo came along, I’ve been getting less and he’s (Ippo) been getting more each time we have a balikbayan. Fine by me, as long as my son gets my share. Hehe. Anyway, aside from the iPod, my brother had sent us a new Cybershot digi cam. It’s not really for me. It’s for my family (me, Ippo, mama and Denver). But hey, who else will be using it? It will take nothing but pictures of my son for sure.
The next day, that same cousin gave me the most unattainable thing from my Wish List (unattainable for me at least). She gave me a matching Tiffany silver charm bracelet and necklace. I asked her mom for one last October and she said she’d have one sent over. I never actually believed it would happen. It’s really cool because I haven’t seen a knock off in the country yet. It’s the kind with the 1837 bar pendant, not the usual return to Tiffany heart or oval charm. It came in the original Tiffany & Co. box too and I can return it anytime for a replacement if it breaks because of the lifetime warranty. It cost my cousin almost $300. I could never buy myself anything worth $300. In return she made me drink two shots of Kamikaze. No problemo, I said, as long as she leaves with me her Juicy Couture Charm bracelet. And I know she will.
