my Christmas/birthday gift to myself.
------

i don't really want anything material - am happy with what i have now. all i want is to travel the world, and that is what exactly i am giving myself this year. its a trip to seoul, with ryan, cheryl and franco on the 26th to the 30th of December. i am really excited about this trip since i have been hooked watching korean series since way back then. also, its the first time in my life, that i will experience major winter, that's why i need to browse and look for some major winter clothes.


the city is very much alive, i have to witness that first hand.


going to their temples, is definitely part of the itinerary.


things i want to do:
1. go to some historical places - palace, etc.
2. see some snow - or go to some part of korea where there is snow.
3. get a haircut in korea
4. buy something for the house
5. eat at their food stalls
6. have some kimchi and bibimbop
7. visit their night market
8. city tour
9. get korea and seoul ref magnets

things i need:
1. face and body moisturizer - obee will provide.
2. lip balm - obee will provide me with this too.
3. thermal undergarments - i have to buy.
4. need to change money - KOREAN WON!!

speaking of Christmas, i have to save up, really... and i feel so poor, in cash though and not in spirit. things that i need to prioritize this christmas:

1. i promised to buy my family - home theater system (the whole thing) and i just found out how much it costs last night, its like 1 months pay, but its all good, its for my family. i just have to tell them, that it will cost them christmas and bday presents in 2010. haha!

2. i have to buy gifts for my godsons and goddaughter - i have 3 now: e, chuy and chuchay.

3. i have to show appreciation and buy small gifts (they have helped us thru the worst drama in our life):
- auntie dawna
- domi
- yaya dolly
- ate bona
- tita bebs/SY family
- manang gilda
- ate glenda
- ninang judy
- ako aida/marj/twing/ahya mike

*its just a small token, saying that i truly appreciate things that they have done for our family, i am planning that those stuff will come with a card expressing gratitude.

anyway, i am booked to fly back in manila on the 22nd of December. YEAY!!!
