Alma asked me to write my Christmas wish list via a tag. I’ll write the first ten things that pop into my head. I’ll just write material stuff because the intangible ones deserve another entry!
My Top of Mind Top 10 Christmas Wish List:
1. A trip for two to Miniloc Island in El Nido, Palawan – second honeymoon!
2. A wok – although our little kitchen can’t handle any more cooking equipment ’cause it’s so cramped already.
3. A new black office bag – because I’ve overused my black one! It’s gonna collapse any minute now but I so love it so I can’t let go of it.
4. Books books books – I joined Powerbooks’ promo this year. The winner gets to pick out 100 books! A book shopping spree! Who doesn’t want that?! I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win.
5. New office clothes – my wardrobe hasn’t been updated in years.
6. A computer where I can play Sims 2 – although I’m not too hot on this since it’ll eat up a lot of electricity and I’ll spend less time with H.
7. Spa spa spa – to relax, relax, relax and to take out that kink in my back, neck, arms, legs…
8. A pair of jeans – They are my wardrobe staple and so most of my jeans now are very worn in.
9. Our own condo unit– Serendra perhaps? I like their concept of suburban living in the city. Too pricey though. While I’m happy with the place we’re staying in now, I don’t want to rent forever!
10. Maid service for a year – Yeah! I don’t like housework. I like cooking but not cleaning.
Hey that was fun! One can dream, right? I’m tagging all those who haven’t bought Christmas gifts for themselves. Is that you? 
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

December 14, 2005 at 5:45 pm (18 years ago)I don’t have a Christmas gift yet for myself also. Gusto ko ng … iPod! Pero walang budget! Aaaaaahhhh

December 14, 2005 at 8:14 pm (18 years ago)That is not a bad list…
I hope you have been a very good girl this year. Maybe the Santa will grant you your wishes.
I would have a second look at Serendra. I passed by this morning and I was thinking that this place will be much too crowded. They got a great concept but I think they want to squeeze too much people in a relatively small area. Once Serendra is finished they will start high rise buildings at both end of Serendra. Not immediately my dream place. And it is very expensive !
But yes, at least it got the Ayala brand.
Maybe you should look at some of the projects of G&W Architects. They got an interesting concept that makes them cheaper than the rest. They are located on top of Starbucks Fort Bonifacio.

December 15, 2005 at 2:14 am (18 years ago)Like I said in my email, I’ll definitely have at least 2 of the items you picked sent to you! Better yet, come visit so I can have you pick your gift here! You read my list na so I’m excused though I have not bought myself a gift. Miss you Noni! :^*

December 15, 2005 at 4:38 am (18 years ago)i saw the poster for that powerbooks promo and i was excited pero i didn’t get to read how one could join. nakita ko lang 100 books! nadaan lang kasi kami eh.:)
Toni
December 15, 2005 at 10:27 am (18 years ago)denden: Share tayo hehe. Pagtapos na sa akin, padala ko naman diyan. Haha!
sha: I sure hope Santa reads this blog alright!
watson : Hirap ng walang budget ‘no? Kakalungkot at kakainis! Pero do buy yourself a treat this Christmas. While it’s important we ensure our loved ones’ happiness, we ourselves are important too. 😉 Maybe you could treat yourself to a Star Wars toy? 😀
Sidney : That’s a very good point about Serendra. When I saw the layout, that concerned me too! It’s like a more sophisticated mass housing, but it’s still mass housing. Thanks for referring G&W!
Dr E: Oh Dr. E, you don’t have to do that! Hehehe.
GOOD LUCK!!! I hope we win, kahit consolation prize!!!
dexie: Whoopee! Sige punta akong food blog mo in a jiffy…
Bam : I emailed ya. Haba haba haba!
Diane: Buy P1000 worth of items and you get 1 raffle coupon!
