My birthday is coming! Yeheeeeeey! I am turning 25. Yes, I am on my quarter-life (in case, I'll be alive for 100 awesome years). There are times that I feel sad whenever I think of my birthday. There are 2 reasons why. First, I don't get to spend my birthdays with my family. My mother passed away in 2000 and my father left for the US with my 3 brothers in 2003. Why I stayed here in the Philippines will take years to explain. For the past 7 years, I spent my birthday either alone or with my relatives and friends. Okay, that is enough. Tears are starting to block my sight. Another reason is that I get a little frustrated of myself. I am turning 25 yet I don't have a high-paying job like the other people my age. I am still studying. Yeah, I know you may ask me, "Why are you still in college at 25?" No, I did not fail nor stopped. I did not get pregnant or addicted to drugs/alcohol. I am still in college because I am taking my second course. Yes, I already have finished a course where I totally wasted my 5 years because I was just forced to take it. I am now taking the one I like and I love. I want to be a teacher and it took me 5 years to finally be enrolled in it. I will be graduating next school year. Yipee! I cannot be more excited about it. At last, I will be a teacher. I know it's still not and will never be late to pursue my dreams.
Though I feel sad, I still have TONS of reasons to be happy. First, there is Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and Facebook that will keep me in touched with my father and brothers. These won't replace them being here physically but at least, technologically-speaking, I am with them. Second, Edge is here with me. I don't get sad whenever he's with me. He never lets me feel that I am alone. He IS my smile and laughter. Third, I have my relatives and friends. They keep me company and love me dearly. I won't stay sane without them. And lastly, I have our GOD who never fails to show me how much he loves me. He continues to give me reasons to be happy. I should be thankful of him because he gives me another year to live. Thank you and I love you!
And if I may add, I feel excited of my birthday/s because I get to request and ask others to give me stuff and gifts without them raising their eyebrows on me. Also, I have ALL the reasons to spend and get what I want. Hey, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! :) So, here are the things I want for my birthday. I am sharing this wishlist to you because in case you plan to be generous, you have an idea what to give. Haha! I am just kidding! :)
Let's start!
.
1. KINDLE - I am a huge bookworm and this gadget will be the love of my life. This baby will save me a lot. Imagine, I buy about 3 books a month and it costs me around P300++ each. Do the math.
2. MACBOOK PRO - Who doesn't want a MacBook?
3. BOBBI BROWN MAKEUP MANUAL - I know this is available locally and I can easily purchase this from bookstores. But I still haven't convinced myself to get this. Why? It costs around P1,300. Too much for a book.
4. URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE - I want to have this real bad. I may order it on Multiply but it costs too much I can't afford. :(
5. L'OREAL PARIS' INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK - Any other shades will do. It costs around P900++ here in the Philippines. I might get one for myself.
6. REVLON PHOTOREADY FOUNDATIONS - These are love. :)
7. HOT TOOLS CURLING IRON - I already have a generic one now. I want this because it has multi-heat control.
8. CERAMIC HAIR STRAIGHTENING IRON - In case I want to get a beautiful straight hair!
9. SNORKEL SET - I love the water. I love the beach! I want to have my own set that I could bring whenever I go out to see my loves - the sea creatures!
10. MAKEUP TRAINCASE - My babies need a new home! :)
11. GARNIER NUTRISTIONISTE ULTRA-LIFT EYE CREAM - I read this works wonders!
12. SIGMA BRUSHES - Do I need to say more?
13. NYX JUMBO PENCILS - Again, do I need to say more?
14. NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS - I am getting these myself. :)
15. XBOX 360 CONSOLE WITH KINECT - I may look too girly, but mind you, I am into consoles. :)
Honestly, I STILL HAVE MANY MORE things that I like and wish to get on my birthday or on any other gift-giving occasions. Listing ALL will mean having about 10 to 20 more posts. Haha! I can even see myself staring out of the window just thinking of things I want. :) I love the 'wishlist' thing!
Again, I don't expect to receive all of these. Anything will do, actually. These are only the material things that will make me extremely happy. One day or another, I'll definitely have all of these. :)
When is you're birthday? What do you want to receive as gifts?
