I was about to doze off the other night when Roney popped this question,
“If I would give you a Louis Vuitton bag as a Christmas gift…”
My shrieks drowned out the rest of his words.
Any bag is always welcome in my closet. But an LV bag would have the VIP seat, of course. Although I am not a bag hag like most women, I have nothing against a monogram leather over my shoulder, especially if it is a gift.
Anyway, pagkatapos kong mahimasmasan, and after Roney was finally able to finish the question (which I could no longer remember), the logical and not-a-bag-lady me intervened.
Times are hard. Baby Jadon might go to school next year. We might add another member of the family. We have bills to pay, house to beautify, car to maintain. Besides, I have no daughter yet to hand it down, if ever.
So, I told him that I would be happy to receive an LV bag SOMEDAY when our spare money would no longer be considered savings. But for this Christmas, I would be content to receive any gift amounting to no more than P10,000.00 (but not less than P9,000.00). haha!
A wish shared by Mandy. Thanks!
Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now. Starts here. It’s so simple. Copy the photo below then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF-LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.
1. Bits and Pieces by Jan :: I wish Gino and I will be able to convince friends to help us sponsor a simple Christmas party for the children of White Cross Children’s Home in San Juan.
2. The Wifey Diaries by Jannesse : My birthday falls on the 22nd of December. I have always wished to spend it with orphaned or abandoned kids. I’d be super happy to spend my birthday with them. That way, they get early Christmas presents from me. Oh, and can I wish for a baby, too? Please?
3. The Versoza Inc. by Con: I’d like to have a simple Christmas party for all the children of our employees. Times were hard on our company this 2007, but still, the Christmas Spirit should not be overpowered by it. Christmas is about family. So our Christmas party should not be for employees only, but for their families as well. Also, I wish our clan would make it a tradition to have a Christmas gift giving project. My Tita Doi started it last year with the Antipolo church children. I am looking forward to this year .
4. Mommy On Top: I wish I could help a couple of kids (both are related to my kids’ nannies) finish their education so they can, in turn, help their family earn a living. I could try and help them find a job, but without finishing their studies, they can only go too far. With a diploma or at least some certificate of formal education, they could do so much and reach farther. I hope my efforts in hooking them up with this certain NGO will come out with favorable results.
5. Coffeenchoclate : We hope to sustain an extended help for a few elders and be able to increase aid to another few elders before the year ends.
6. C’est La Vie: We’d like to continue on helping out and sharing the Christmas spirit to our household help and their families.
7. My Stories: I wish to increase our love offering to missions this Christmas so that more souls would be captured for Christ.
I hope that Cez, Karen, Meeya, Meldita & Weng would reveal their golden hearts through their wishes
