Our team had this Kris Kringle where on its final day of exchange of gifts, we are to give away one item from our Monito‘s and Monita‘s list. The gift should worth at least 300 bucks.

My wishlist:

  1. Star Wars Jedi Knight costume
  2. DVD copy of 1 complete season of Alias or 24 TV series
  3. Any book on typography and creative logo design

I love to have a photo-op as a Jedi. Also, during parties with superheroes and fiction themes, then I want to have to force with me. That’s a stand out!

I expected that my Kris Kringle dad would give me the DVD copy of my favorite series because it’s an easy-to-find item in Quiapo. I won’t mind if it is pirated. Hey, I prefer to buy original movie DVDs and favorite artists’ albums but not the TV series!

Third entry is something I put so my dad would give me the first or the second item because the third costs more than 300 bucks. The best book I’ve seen of this line costs 2000 bucks. But my dad is so generous and he gave me the last item. I really appreciated it.

My monita‘s wish is either a wallet or pair of slippers. The good Girbaud wallet costs twice than the minimum so I give two pairs of slippers instead.

Here are some of the following items included in the wishlist of my teammates that are well-noted:

  1. The most common and easiest are bookstore and coffee shop gift certificates
  2. A Glossy Shine shampoo or a Total Care conditioner of Pantene
  3. Money (cash)
  4. Another popular choice: optical mouse

But the wishlist including special instructions and comments that stands out from the rest…

  1. Pampabeauty Showcase… Maintenance ba?! Beautiful na tayo syemps pero kailangan ng maintenance (Beauty showcase for maintenance. I am already beautiful but it still needs maintenance)
  2. Pangkabuhayan Showcase… Kotse, bahay at lupa, tindahan, truck, kahit allowance ng anak ko pwede (Livelihood Showcase, car, house and lot, variety store, truck, or even my son’s allowance is accepted)
  3. Entertainment Showcase… Kahit isang gabi lang. Preferably ganap na LALAKE! In all-caps ha meaning BIG! (Entertainment Showcase… One night only. Preferably a true MAN. Take note of all caps. It means BIG!

Very funny!
