It’s Tuesday again and I decided to make this day my gift list day. Hehehe.
Last week, I have shared what my Item Number 1 is. For today, my item number two is an everyday staple. Hehehe. However, due to financial constraints (Hahaha!), it would be more helpful if someone give this to me.
What is it?
TADAAAAA!
Bath and Body Works Gift Set in Sweet Pea
We have several PX shops here in the Philippines and they have some Bath and Body Works products but this variant is a rare find. I have not encountered it (Or I might have but how many times? Once?)
So if anyone with good soul among my friends and loved ones who would be kind enough to give me this, aaaay, I’ll hug you big time!!!

While doing my morning ritual of checking out the Tweets that I follow, I stumbled upon Sitti’s and one of her updates says, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.” This was inspired by the verse from Ecclesiastes 11:4 (Let me use the version from The Amplified Bible) which says,
He who observes the wind [and waits for all conditions to be favorable] will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
Too many times, we came across circumstances where decisions are necessary; and not just simple decisions as what color of flip-flops you would wear or what hairstyle you would have today. Sometimes, decisions which we have to make is a matter of life and death (Yeah, exaggerated maybe.) – Life and death of a career; life and death of a relationship; life and death of a breakthrough.
Most of the time, we calculate too much – looking at our surroundings, checking if each strand of eyebrow is at place or if our shoes are well-polished, not knowing that there proves to be situations when getting caught open and willing to change and motion bears good results.
Waiting for the perfect time to come may not happen if that’s what holds you from doing whatever you need to do, or want to do. Unless you make an action or two, given the circumstances where you’re in, you could never move from where you are now.
Don't be afraid of crossing the other side of the street... Like a kid, there is Someone who could guide you through until you can do it yourself 
Taking risks may cost you something, right. But would you rather learn from it or play it safe, waiting for the perfect time until never finding out what could have been? Your choice.

Well, yearly, eventhough I have in mind several items which I want to receive for Christmas, I don’t demand them from people. (But I tell them anyway, just in case they “feel” the need to give me a gift and they are having a hard time to decide what to get me. Hehehe.)
For 2009, I suddenly felt the urge (So that I won’t forget…) to post what I want for Christmas this year. I thought of doing this everytime I am reminded (Haha! Sorry if I somehow sound selfish. As what I’ve mentioned, I don’t demand. 
)
Anyways, since early this year, I have been looking for silver slingback flat sandals such as the photos below:
A simpler version of this is what I want. Hehe
Or this one will do... Simpler version, though.
I’ve been looking far and wide for such thing; I’ve seen several people wear this – but I can’t find anything like this. 
Well, if you happen to know a store or a place or local online store who sells such kind of footwear, please let me know. In case nobody would give this to me as a gift for the holidays, I might as well give this as a gift to myself. Hehehe. It would be better if you could suggest a cheaper one. Hahahaha! I’m keeping options open.
