It took me quite a while to complete this list (though this is probably the shortest wishlist I made in my entire life, lol). Maybe because the items on this list are not just those typical ohmy-they-look-so-pretty-I-want-them kind. I really want these from the bottom of my heart. That is the cue for you guys to take note of everything and buy me a gift, yea? They aren't even expensive! :)
So here are ten material things I want for Christmas:
1. The Killers: Live from Royal Albert Hall DVD
I have seen this concert for five times already, but ohgod they never fail to leave me in awe. The Killers is one of my favorite bands of all time and I will never ever get tired of watching them perform live (even if it is just on DVD).
Everytime I watch this concert (through TV specials or Youtube), I always feel emotional. The band, the crowd and the song all contribute to the magic. I jump around, scream, cheer, clap and sing my heart out for every song they play (especially during Mr. Brightside, The River is Wild, All These Things that I've Done, and so on).
2. Harry Potter Books
I have started reading Harry Potter in high school because it was part of our requirements for our English class. Yes, you read that right---we did study Harry Potter. We had to memorize the spells, the characters and other terminologies. Having 'Harry Potter Wednesdays' was fun then.
Now I am planning to rekindle my love for Harry Potter so I got to have the books again.
3. Teen Vogue Handbook
It is a known-fact that I have always been interested in fashion. Someday, I want to study in a good fashion school and work in a reputable fashion magazine. So as a starter, I know that I have got to get this book.
4. Rules of Thumb by Martone and Neville
I am dying to have this book! I saw a copy of this at National Bookstore once and it is such a good read (and I can confidently say that even though I have just read its first few pages). Published writers and aspiring writers can totally make use of this.
5. Chuck Palahniuk Books
Ha, another book again. My brother is the one who made me read Palahniuk and I liked his writing style. So yea, I am struggling to have his other books too.
6. Art of Fiction by Ayn Rand
I have always been interested in fiction, and I think I would really learn a lot from this book. If I remember correctly, Rand talks something about an author’s voice and how unique it is. Ah, I wish I could have my hands on this amazing book.
7. Pet dog

| Meet Voltron, Julian Casablancas' pet dog :) |
I have always wanted to have a pet dog. I always beg my parents to get me one, but my mom refuses to give in. I swear I am responsible enough to have one, I promise!
8. Pet cat
 |
| Got this from Ezra Koenig's twitter accout (twitter.com/arzE) |
I have grown a recent fascination on cats thanks to all my boys (my brother, my love for MGMT, Ian Somerhalder). They are the cutest thing ever.
9. Journal
 |
| Not necessarily like this one, but you get the idea? |
I think I should spend more time writing on a journal, instead of blogging (lol, as if my blogs are always updated). I need to something new in my life, probably write more since I have so many inspiring things around me.
10. Pair of boots
 |
| This is a shoe closet because I was too lazy to find a photo of the perfect pair of boots |
I have always wanted to have a pair of boots though it is not probably the best footwear to have if you are living in Manila. But whatever, I still want a pair. If there’s a will, there’s a way. :)
Hopefully a good soul would grant even one of my wishes! Come on guys, remember: it is better to give than to receive! xx
