Don't mind my last post. I knew very well that I OVERREACTED. I sounded way too pathetic in that entry. Darn. But for the sake of reminding me of my stupidity and so that I'll have something to remind me of it & laugh at someday, I won't erase that horrible post.
Whoa! I'm so happee! I already bought a Justin Timberlake "Future Sex/Love Sounds" CD and Sandwich's "Five on the floor" CD! Yey! I just got them this morning...thanks to Ate Cyndi and her efforts in going to and fro Quiapo (and thanks to the CD underground business...teehee). Got the JT CD for only PhP300 and the Sandwich CD for PhP200. They're original, mind you, so that's not counted as pirated...teehee. I listened to them and I love 'em. I was actually planning to buy Evanescence's "Open Door", PussyCat Dolls' repackaged "PCD", The Killers' new album, and Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Stadium Arcadium". Oh, I'm gonna loose all my hard-earned moolahs if I do that. So much on buying caprices, so much on buying too many CDs. At first, I actually wanted Itchyworms' "Noontime Show" album and GreenDay's "American Idiot" album but they aren't available.
What I asked for this year's 4A6 Christmas party? I asked for an Adobe Photoshop CS2 CD or an Itchyworms CD. I hope he/she hasn't bought a Sandwich CD, and if he/she did I only wasted my money on buying one. Hehe. I checked out the gifts earlier and I had a hard time trying to find my gift. Oh well, wait until tomorrow comes.
We're gonna have our Christmas party at McDonald's Morayta and I hope we'll have a really good time!
Wishlist. Hay. Good thing Jo's already got her wishlist. I still haven't got one. And I'm having a hard time thinking of what I want for Christmas. Oh well, for the sake of argument...
My Christmas Wishlist:
1. iPod Nano or iPod Video (hehe...you wish, Soc!)
2. USB (nah...I'm actually planning to buy one. Floppy Disks suck.)
3. Bluetooth (more useful if I have a camera phone!)
4. Camera Phone (I've been asking my mom to give me this one for YEARS...)
5. Digicam (I'm so embarassed whenever I have to use my old, realiable yet obsolete camera...haha!)
6. WWE t-shirts (I hope my money's still enough to buy 'em)
7. Spongebob Bean Bag (planned to buy one from Ate Cyndi but my budget will be CRASHED!)
8. White Musk or Moon Flower Perfume from Body Shop (haha...you wish...again...)
9. Any CD that I've mentioned above...yihee...
10. JSC?! Need I say more?
...seems like it's quite IMPOSSIBLE for me to get these things...eh...they're all soooo EXPENSIVE! Jo, I'd tell you next time my "affordable" version of Christmas wishlist. I still haven't thought of anything to ask for...heehee...
Exchange gift? The person that I picked wants a pair of white/brown sandals from the tiangge. The price isn't a problem, really, but the process of choosing the right sandals was a challenge. I mean, yes, we're both girls but we've got different tastes. Medyo mukha pa naman siyang sosyal. She said she wanted something with beads & sequences. I've found so many sandals studded with the formers but I decided not to buy them because
a. I myself don't like them
b. They're way too stuffed with sequences & beads...yung tipong "NAGMUMURA SA DAMI"
c. I find them ugly
d. The person I've picked was kind of "sosyal" and I believe she'll find those as "jologs"
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM: I bought a bronze-colored, simple sandals. Para safe.
It could've been safer if I'll just give her money pero shempre, iba parin yung happiness ng tao kapag alam niyang may bubuksan siyang gift.

BTW, I've found this one on the internet and I thought that this article might touch your hearts. Hehe....
A LOVE STORY
One day I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ahh.. the beauty of GODs creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised GOD for HIS beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the LORDs presence with me.
HE asked me, Do you love ME?
I answered, Of course, GOD! YOU are my LORD and SAVIOR!
Then HE asked, If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?
I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my body and wondered how many things t wouldnt be able to do, the things that I took for granted.
And I answered, It would be tough LORD, but I would still love YOU.
Then the LORD said, If you were blind, would you still love my creation? How could I love something without being able to see it? Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved GOD and HIS creation.
So I answered, Its hard to think of it, but I would still love YOU.
The LORD then asked me, If you were deaf, would you still listen to MY WORD? How could I listen to anything being deaf?
Then I understood. Listening to GODs WORD is not merely using ears, but our hearts.
I answered, It would be not be easy, but I would still listen to YOUR WORD.
The LORD then asked me, If you were mute, would you still praise MY NAME?
How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me. GOD wants us to sing from our very heart and soul. It never matters what we sound like. And praising GOD is not always with song, but when we are persecuted, we give GOD praise with our words of thanks.
So I answered, Though I could not physically sing, I would still praise YOUR NAME.
And the LORD asked, Do you really love ME?
With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly, Yes LORD! I love YOU because YOU are the ONE and TRUE GOD!
I thought I had answered well, but GOD asked, THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?
I answered, Because I am only human. I am not perfect.
THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE DO YOU ASTRAY THE FURTHEST? WHY ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY THE EARNEST?
No answers. Only tears.
The LORD continued: Why only sing at fellowship and retreats? Why seek me only in times of worship? Why ask things so selfishly? Why ask things so unfaithfully?
The tears continued to roll down my cheeks.
Why are you ashamed of ME? Why are you not spreading the good news? Why in times of persecution, you cry to others when I offer my shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to serve in MY name?
I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give.
You are blessed with life. I made you not to throw this gift away. I have blessed you with talents to serve ME, but you continue to turn away. I have revealed MY WORD to you, but you do not gain in knowledge. I have spoken to you but your ears were closed. I have shown my blessings to you, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent you servants, but you sat idly by as they were pushed away. I have heard your prayers and I have answered them all.
DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME?
I could not answer. How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say to this? My heart had cried out and the tears had flowed, I said, Please forgive me LORD. I am unworthy to be YOUR child.
The LORD answered, That is MY grace, MY child.
I asked, Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do YOU love me so?
The LORD answered, Because you are my creation. You are my child. I will never abandon you. When you cry, I will have compassion and cry with you. When you shout with joy, I will laugh with you. When you are down, I will encourage you. When you fall, I will raise you up. When you are tired, I will carry you. I will be with you till the end of the days, and I will love you forever.
Never had I cried so hard before. How could I have been so cold? How could I have hurt GOD as I had done?
I asked GOD, How much do you love me?
The LORD stretched out HIS arms, and I saw HIS nail-pierced hands. I bowed down at the feet of CHRIST, my SAVIOR. And for the first time, I truly prayed.
