    Nonetheless,
gaining weight is no problem at all… for despite the pounds gained, I
earned a lot of unforgettable moments I will cherish and for this,
there are so much I need to be thankful for…

    for gift of love, family, and friendship.

Peechurs!!! with my fans (ahem )

    Thank
you for my highschool friends who made my stay in Ilocos worthwhile.  I
know this will repeat as it does every time I am home.  Thank you for
lending me money Jovi as we shopped and dine as I always forget to
bring money with me.

Panch, Mia, Me, Jovi and Tricia — kisses for you

Don’t make it too loud this New Year.  No to banned firecrackers please…

Annually, the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte celebrates
Christmas with a Lantern parade and a program at the Provincial
Capitol. This year they added a food fair (where each town and city
will have a booth selling their delicacies) and a photo contest
(anything about Ilocos Norte).

I salute the lantern makers who painstakingly created the lanterns out of indigenous materials.

I also congratulate Tricia Domingo whose photo (woman holding an empanada) made it to the top 100 out of 250 entries.

We had fun booth - hopping and food - tripping in the fair.  I was so full I didn’t eat dinner anymore.

Afterwards
we had coffee, our fave “after eating activity” at La Preciosa
Restaurant. With me are highschool friends Mia, Tricia, Panchet and
Charisse.

- that is if you plan to grant any of my wishes and if you are wondering "why" I posted my wishes.

   
Lately, I have come across interesting print ads and on-display items
while window-shopping that gave me an idea on what to add to my
wishlist:

Books:

- Being a "businessminded person" I like what Arnell Ignacio said about this book.  A short article by Bayani San Diego about Arnell’s book has a link here.

-
Darn, no picture available for this book.  The Inquirer wrote a short
article about it, (which sadly can’t be found in their website , darn).  I have the clipping though (but I don’t have scanner with me ,
darn again).  Anyway, it is a 260-page hardbound book where the authors
wrote (and worked for over a year to come up with this) about their
gastronomic journey through Manila’s best restaurants.  I love to
eat!!! …  I hope I can receive one, if not this x’mas… for my birthday I hope.

(The author,  Milagros Santos-Ong)

- An overview of the contents of this book can be found here.  This is on top of my wishlist.  I hope that this can be granted to me…  I find it informative and helpful for students and  researchers.

Bags:
1. Lesportsac - I like 3 bag designs of Lesportsac, Letter B being my fave among them.

a. For Letter A - is the typical knapsack for school

b. For Letter B - This is a
tote bag that can be a cute luggage bag with rollers; if you unzip the
pointed "UNZIP" zipper, an adjustable handle comes out.  Good as school
bag (for heavy books), an all-nighter or a handcarry-on bag.

c. For Letter C - shoulder
bags with their very convenient "many compartments".  My mom gave me
a green army theme - which I don’t like much; hoping for pastel and
feminine colors.

d. Bag Organizers -
very very helpful :); I already have one which is like a mini version
and size of the bag I am using.  I prefer a folded bag organizer so
that it could fit in my other bags especially the small ones.

2. Shoes (My U.S. footsize: 7.5) that can go with number 1 attire
a. with heels

3. Crisp and Classy dresses/ skirts
