Birthday+Christmas Wishlist

Lately I've been seeing some people put up their Christmas wishlists. Got me thinking about my own list. So I put up my own, although with a little modification since my birthday's coming up first before Christmas. I call it my Birthday+Christmas Wishlist. I had some trouble putting stuff in my list. Seems my gadget lust has abated, for the moment at least. Anywho, without further ado, here's my list:


1. Apple 13-inch Macbook Pro
My old faithful Acer Aspire 5562 gave out on me a few months ago and I have had no laptop to work on since then. My photography has suffered, believe me. Okay, so I could use my mother's. But I discovered the hard way that monitor calibration is a MUST if you want to print out pictures. And in this aspect, Mac OS X does a better job with color management than good old Windows (According to a DPP mag comparison, forgot which issue that was). This is numero uno on my list, but I can wait a bit more to have the kinks ironed out of Snow Leopard OS.

2. Skullcandy Hesh (Black-White)
Oookay, so I already have a pair of SKDY headphones (G.I. Winter Camo if you're wondering) but for a totally superficial reason, I still want this particular pair. Why? Because of the design. And yeah, I'll even forgive the touches of pink in it. Haha.

3. Skullcandy Inkd (Blue)
I'm used to falling asleep to music but I haven't been doing much of that lately because the G.I.'s are humongous. I always sleep on my side and good luck sleeping in that position with the G.I. on. The Inkd oughtta do the trick. Plus, the color matches that of my wornout-but-much-beloved 2nd gen iPod nano.

4. Samsung SGH D980i
Dual SIM goodness! This is the sleekest of its kind that I've come across so far, style-wise anyway. Too bad it doesn't have Wi-Fi or 3G. But it still is a sweet piece, and sure beats toting around two separate mobiles.

5. EF Lenses for my camera

My camera is woefully lacking in accessories. 'Nuff said.

5. HIM (as usual)
So he isn't exactly a thing. But I still want him here and there's no getting around that. And you know what? I'll actually be getting my wish this year! He'll be coming home this November (not on my birthday though) and we'll be getting together after three years of being apart. We only have a coupla days at most, but that's still much, much better than nothing, don't you think? ^_^

Monday morning blues

Listening to Metallica while blogging at 7:00 on a Monday morning is not such a bad start for a week. I just finished correcting the blasted forms I revised last Friday--I was in such a hurry to get out that I made mistakes in each of the three sheets. Damn, talk about carelessness. Anywho, as I said I just made the necessary corrections and am now just waiting for the signatory to show up so I could get it back to production.

So. The start of another work week. The tedium of it makes me feel all of my twenty-three years and impending twenty-fourth birthday in a not-so-flattering way. God, I feel old. How pathetic. Hope there's something to look forward to.
