Taking Gifting to the Next Level

Christmas wish list for myself
1. Good health for my whole family, most especially Nanay, and full-recovery of my sister Elvie.
2. Own an iPhone 6s, 64GB/128GB.
3. Travel abroad, either Singapore or Thailand.
4. Own a DSLR Camera with complete set of lenses.
5. Own a 2T external memory for my TV Series and movie collections.

Family is always on top of everything you want in life but you can't deny the fact that material things will give you a little satisfaction specially if you're away your your family and you're longing for them.


Christmas gift ideas for my loved ones this year
1. Gift cheques for them to buy whatever they want.
2. Family outing around Zamboanga Peninsula.
3. Family photo album printed in a glossy paper just like in the magazines.

A little bonding with them is just enough. Talking or just seeing them somehow every year its already blessing. Memories are best keep in print no matter how the digital evolution nowadays. Glossy printed paper is not bad to adopt the said evolution.


Plan to give back to others this Christmas
1. Share the blessings to others specially if I win this contest.
2. Pack groceries to be given to the 'basureros' (I can't call them garbage collector coz they don't collect them, they just get whatever they can sell and arrange the rest so that it wont look messy) in our village.
 3. Donate used-clothes to the recently typhoon Lando victims in North Luzon.

I don't usually give anything, even a coin to the street kids because I feel like I am not helping them in any way but teaching them how to be lazy and just rely on the people passing by in the street. I can see them everyday. They're not getting smaller but they're growing in number. Simply because there's lot of money in the street. Filipino's are so helpful to the needy without knowing, it didn't become a need to them anymore because it become a business. But gift-giving to those who really in need, I can give my little share.
