My Birthday Wish List for 2012

Yay!!! It's exactly 30 days before my birthday! ^__^

Are you wondering if I'm excited? Well, not really... I'm really kinda nervous because I'm close to hitting the big 3-0. You know, a woman's bio-clock ticks and it it's ticking me off! =D

Although I'm scared to give birth, I still want to have a mini-Angel or mini-Deo. One time, hubby and I were talking about thoughts on having kids and he mentioned that it's okay with him to have even only one child. For me, I have always wanted to have twins, despite my fear of child birth. =D

Anyway, let's discuss that next time. I'm actually here to share my birthday wishlist. ^__^

I'll list them randomly. ^__^

I hope you are reading this, Hubby!!! =D

Here they go!!!

Sorry Hubby Love, this is number one on my list! =D

Makeup! One of my (and probably yours, too - =D) greatest loves. Recently, I found out that my stash needs a splash of color. I noticed that my palettes are all neutrals. I only have 2 purple shades and a metallic blue one. So, I am wishing for any of the following:

Coastal Scents 252 Ultimate Palette

I visited the Sleek Site and saw the lovely I-Divine Palettes. I want to collect them all! But since I wanted to have colorful shades, I picked the following. By the way, when Kim of Kimpossibly Gorgeous mentioned the Sleek Snapshots palette, I searched it and you know the end of it... Fell in love with it!!! =D

How I wish I could really have these palettes! (Save, save, save!!! Hahahaha!!! =D)


Okay. If anyone would want to give me a present, I'm okay with any palette that has colorful shades... I'm not choosy! Hahaha! =D

I really want to have any of these brushes. I think it's time for me to invest in good quality brushes. ^__^


Lately, I'm into fashion and home decor. There was even a time that I really couldn't sleep, I decided to draw in my mind my dream home. I've also been pinning some bedroom inspirations in Pinterest. =D

Who wouldn't love Ms. Jenni? She's one talented woman! She inspires me so much! From fashion to being a good homemaker, I'm hands down to her! She's the kind of woman I want to be. ^__^

I want a lot of things! There are more in my head but for now, these are stuff that I really want for my birthday. I got lots of ideas and inspirations but I only have two hands and little time on my hands. Most of the time, I blog while having classes so it could keep me sane. I love my job a lot but there are times that I get so drained and exhausted that I sometimes lose focus. Whew!


I'm in for surprises and if you are kind enough and would want to send me a gift, anything would do! It doesn't have to be exactly the things above. Hahaha! In fact, I'm not actually expecting people to send me something after this post. I just wrote this to share some stuff that I want for my birthday. =D


Oh, if you're curious about what was on my list last year, click on this link to find out! ^__~


Let's see how blessed I am... We'll find out on my birthday! =D


When's your birthday? What's on your list?
^__^

Book Haul

Aigoo! I didn't know I still haven't posted this! O__O 

After our spur of the moment "dinner date" last January 1st, we decided to drop by National Book Store just a few restaurants away from Inasal at Iba Pa (click the link for the review).

Seeing that they are having a sale, we browsed at the books that were displayed outside. For sure, there's something interesting to find.

Guess what? We did find something!

Well, not for us but for...

My grandfather!

The Life of Elvis Presley

My grandfather is a big fan of Elvis Presley and I'm pretty sure that he'll love this. He has a small collection of Elvis stuff at home.

Young Elvis strutting his stuff... He's so handsome!!! =D

Can you guess how much we got this book for?

It's only…. P50!

From P1,155 to P144.25 to P50!

So, hubby told me to quickly grab it. We decided to go inside and buy something for ourselves. I told my hubby that I want to start collecting TESL/ESL books. Sadly, we were not able to find any good TESL/ESL book (or maybe we didn't search good enough). A little later on, he saw this book and handed it to me.

Edith Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes

I have read this book way back in the university. We had a subject called "Mythology and Children's Literature" and we were required to read this book. I only borrowed a book from his classmate that's why I don't have my own copy. I've been very interested in Mythology even before entering the university. My grandfather has a hardbound mythology book (of a different author) and I used to read it. Being too interested with it, I used to dream about giving a Greek name to my future baby (or babies) because of its uniqueness.

Yay! My own copy!!! ^__^

 

Lastly, hubby was looking for Bob Ong's new book. I saw it from a friend's post in Facebook but sadly, I forgot the exact title at that moment. I remember the cover though.

Unfortunately, we were browsing the cahiers' counters  but they really don't have copies of the new book.

So, we decided to keep wandering around the bookstore and he opted to pick this...

 Pugad Baboy 5

Pugad Baboy 5 Special Signed Copy
Pol Medina Jr.! It's almost the same as having an autograph!!! =D

We got this for only P99!




By the way, for those who didn't know Pol Medina Jr. or the Pugad Baboy Series, it is a popular comic series way back in the 90's. =D


We went home with these...

After a couple of weeks, I teased hubby about the latest Bob Ong book, "Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin". He started bugging me about buying it and wanted to go back into collecting all of his books. I read some of Bob Ong's books, that's why I know why the hubby is crazy over them. Being the nice wife, I agreed. So, right after he went out from work, he went to Megamall to buy his books.

Hubby's "new" collection

ABNKKBSNPLAKO?!: Mga Kwentong Chalk ni Bob Ong

Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Hudas




Hubby now have the latest Bob Ong book… I suppose he's now a happy hubby! ^__^ 

Lumayo Ka Sa Akin

Y U look serious while reading a funny comic book? Hehehe... >__<

Now, I get to use the pretty bookmark my student sent me last year...

 

So pretty... ^_^

My hubby and I love books and we both want to have a mini-library when we have our own house.

How about you? Do you love reading? Can you recommend some books for me and my man?

Feel free to suggest below! ^__^
