New Techie Stuff
We did a lot of purchasing during the Holidays which reminded me a Visa reward card next time. With all the purchases, I am sure we should get a few benefits from it. Anyway, I have no regrets of purchasing everything because it’s one of the meaning of Christmas, to share and give. It is so nice to give but even me received a few nice things, especially from my husband who gave me useful gifts that I can use for my online and freelance jobs. One of which is this…
This is a 1T Tower Drive to store all my important files, scrapping stuff and photos.

Christmas Season
When I was in high school, I was too excited to think about what will be my prom dress during this time of the year aside from the gifts I will receive this season but as I grow mature (yes, not older – teehee) I became more excited for December because December means, it’s our wedding anniversary month and of course, Christmas where in you get a chance to make your love ones happier. Well, I’m still anticipating about the gifts I might get this year but that surely is my last priority during Christmas season especially now that we have a 4-year-old son who is more aware of the season and the meaning of it. I am trying to instill to him why we have this kind of celebration and though it’s still a bit hazy to him, he understands that Jesus and Santa are friends, and if he is good the whole year, Jesus will tell Santa that he deserves something nice this Christmas.

DS’s Christmas Wishlist
I am blogging this for my son’s Daddy or Mommy on my yearly Christmas Party with my Twiiter Family! Our online friends and their families have been a part of special occasions like this, Christmas and since last year, we had our traditional Christmas Party where our kids participated in the Secret Santa Gift Giving, we are doing it again this year. Here are my son’s wishes. Thanks to his Daddy/Mommy in advance!
1. Young Artist Design and Doodle
and
2. CAT’s Mini Machines (Mini Tractors)
and in case you can’t find that particular CAT Mini Machine toys, you can get these instead, my son loves these now…
Thanks again Daddy/Mommy!

Shopping for Christmas
I know, it’s just September but time flies that it will be hard not to start early. I’ve been planning my list since last month and I am might proud that I made my list really narrow, with just a few important names on the list, I might have a big chance that we can spend little this season to save on a planned trip next year. I will be going more personalized for the gifts this Christmas and I think I know where to go to buy these gifts, the son and the husband will get more expensive gifts though. I have no clue on what to give the little boy but yes, I already have something in mind for the big boy. Hint? Well, it is something close to like, lexus is custom floor mats but of course, we don’t have a lexus, if you are curious to know. Anyway, I will be shopping in one shop for all my friends so the only people I will shop around the malls will just be our immediate families, that will be easy. I might start in November. How about you? When will you start your Christmas shopping?

Did You Get What You Wanted?
Well, I’m still hoping for a very nice xbox 360 for my boys and for myself too, of course and I hope I will get it on my birthday. We’ll see. Anyway, did you get what you want this Holiday season? There might have been a long list of wishes and I’m just wondering after all the celebrations and gift giving and I’m sure we enjoyed the joys of the people we gave our gifts to but let me step a little further and think of ourselves for a minute, did you get what you always hope for this Christmas? I know this may sound too cliche but my wish was not in material form and I still hope and pray I will get it for myself real soon. Anyway, apart from that I am happy with what I got, my husband gave the very comfy and glittery Crocs sandals that I wanted plus a surprise of giving me an iPod shuffle to use when I go to the gym. I’m really happy and very grateful to God for everything.

My Grown Up Christmas List
Do you have that one Christmas song that touches your heart? I have two actually but this one brings me to tears every time I sing along to this song. I love Amy Grant’s version, I think it is the best.
Grown Up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee;
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.Well, I’m all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow.(can you still help somehow)
I’m not a child,
But my heart still can dream.So here’s my lifelong wish,
My grown-up christmas list.
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree.Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end, oh.
This is my grown-up christmas list.This is my grown-up christmas list.
This is my only life long wish, this is my grown up Christmas list.

Calling all parents of ballerinas and princesses! You’re sure to get a heartfelt thank you (and maybe even a curtsey) if you design one of these tutu shirts for your daughter.

A star is born. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you!) Bonus: One-third of the proceeds goes to Children’s Hospital Boston. 18M to 6T; $34-38 at tutupourmondeux.com
