My Christmas 2008 Wishlist

I know each and everyone of us has our own wishlist this holiday season. There are just some stuffs I need (some are just WANT) that I still can’t get for various reasons. Check out my wishlist for this Christmas season:

1. An IBM IdeaPad or MSI Wind U100 or an HP Mini-Note. – I have been planning to get one a few months back. Budget has already been in place. But there are just some things are more important and the plan to get a laptop always get sidelined. I need one especially when I go out of town to do my regular blog updating.

2. Camera Overhaul/Cleaning. – My camera has been all over the country. It has been to Bacolod, Iloilo, Coron, Batanes, Davao. Just all over the place. My camera has experienced the cool breeze of Batanes, heavy downpour in Iloilo, it was with me when I climbed a limestone cliff in Barracuda Lake in Coron. Now it badly needs a full body and lens cleaning before I head out to another destination.

3. A new Team Manila Shirt (XXL size) – this is just a want. I wont mind if I can’t get one this Christmas season.

4. Blank DVDs – For my photos.

5. Fleaxwear Contact Lens ( -1.50 grade) Charcoal color – My stock just expired. I just bought an aquamarine color. Charcoal’s color is way better than my current contacts.

6. Wang Lee Hom Album – I have been a big fan of Wang Lee Hom since 2 years ago. I love this Music so much. And I have been wishing that one day, he’d stage a concert here in Manila. I actually asked Aileen Apolo to buy me a copy of his latest Music Man album when she was in Singapore a few weeks back.

My sixth wish is already granted. The CD is already with Aileen. I’ll just have to pick it up from here. I just really wish I could get my first wish. I really need it during my out of town trips.
