Every time I blog hop, I’ve been seeing Christmas lists left and right. I’ve already said that I only wanted a Nikon for Christmas. But for some reason, I’ve still been asked what else do I want. Especially from those who are coming home. (Want anything from here?)

Since the season calls for it, I felt the need to put out a wish list to help my family and friends, oh and my office mates. (It’s our Christmas party soon, and our wish list has been due already).

So, having said that, with extra effort and additional brain power I’ve come up with my updated Christmas wish list.

After my feeling of being naisahan, I reported everything to my boss. I told her basically what the leading questions of their lawyer would be and she came up with a plan to, when asked, to be able to expound further on the questions.

I did say that I was only allowed to answer Yes or No. My boss anticipated and instead, answered with a Yes and No. Much to their lawyers’ (and judge’s) surprise, which forced him to ask why. And that’s exactly the question we needed to hear and be able to say our side of the story and expound on the breach of contract.

Justice will prevail.

I want! I want! I want!

Richard and Michelle reintroduced me to my fascination with photography. During our weekend at Galera, we shutterbugged like crazy. Both had a Nikon D40x (which made me feel so inadequate) and they urged me to get my own cam so we could have more sessions like that.

So for Christmas, my only material wish is to have my own cam. I’m particularly happy with the D40x but still open to suggestions as to what digital SLR there is. But for now, D40x is it. :D

There. Christmas wish list made. If you want to get it for me, let me know. Paging…. :whistle: :naughty:

Here are some pics of us playing with the cams. :)

Just came back from the long weekend. I yet have to post pics, create an album, make loads and loads of kwento. According to Richard, I have enough stories about the weekend to last me enough blog entries for the month. I couldn’t agree more, although I’m trying to limit talking about it for a month – masyadong OA. :lol:

I’ll start with how we got there.

Blessing Challenges to counter Ms. Scrooge

I’m a scrooge. I don’t particularly like Christmas season. Only because it heightens the fact that I’m usually alone. On normal days, I’m okay with it. But Christmas, well, there’s just something about it that it HAS to be with family, and you’re NOT supposed to be on your own. So my loneliest and most kawawa stories are usually Christmas-time and noche buena stories. Not that all my Christmases have been bad. The past two were pretty great. But the fact that the ones before that were downright crappy, is a memory that I haven’t been able to forget. Maybe I need a few more good times to counter the negative scrooge-like feelings for the supposed Merry season.

But for late, I couldn’t help it. I’ve been disliking Christmas songs over the radio and change stations right away (unless it’s a chipmunk or Southpark version – then it’s just funny), avoid the over-exaggerated malls as much as I can, bit off my colleagues’ choice of music a bit too many times already (it’s not YET Christmas - in my defense, it was still October then) and have already started saying to carolers “tawad!” in my most Scrooge-like way, hoping against hope that they bug me closer to the 25th, if at all.

I can’t hide for long. I know that. I have reasons to enjoy this season. My mom’s coming home (although she won’t make it to Christmas). Reg will be here too. So will JC, one of my good friends from college. Joco, is on her way home na rin. And of course, Kris is coming back from her one month business trip from US. I absolutely can’t wait. I’m excited. But they have their families too, and I won’t be spending Christmas with them also. So it’s not the same.

I need something else, and other reasons to cope.
