2013 Annual Birthday and Christimas Wishlist

Its Friday.. Thank God It's Friday!! and as i listened to the radio earlier today, I realized that its the 22nd of November. Exactly 1 month before my birthday... And thought to do my annual blog tradition today :) As i list down my Birthday and Christmas wish list for 2013, I remember that last year's List was a sweet success (#PostcardsAroundtheWorld). So many friends and family members are scattered all over the world... and thanks to social network sites... they read my wishes and they made them come true... I still feel giddy thinking about it even up to now (even after a year has gone by).

Hubby said that gifts should not be expected and should not be asked... (since I am pressuring him to get me that wish #1 haha!) but I said, I'm not asking or expecting... these are just the things to help out those (family and friends) who are planning to give me something but don't know what to give. This saves them time and they need not wreck their brains out in figuring what I will like for my birthday and Christmas.. I'm efficient that way.. haha! But really, with or without gifts... its the thought that counts.. And hey, tradition is tradition.. (my blog tradition anyway) whether I get it or not, I know I'll still have a happy birthday and a merry Christmas :)

So (drum roll in the background)  in no particular Order, My 2013 Birthday and Christmas Wishlist are:


1. Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses (Gold/ Gradient Brown) (size:M) (ehem! hope my hubby's reading this haha! But he knows... he knows!) (UPDATE: Its in transit!! will get it in February when my MIL visits from the states :) - your the best hubby!)

2. Waffle Maker

3. S View for Galaxy Note 3 (Purple, Teal, Old Rose) - i got the purple one (thanks to myself! haha!) NEW UPDATE: My MIL got me the pink one :) yejhey! Thank you Mama Ems!

4. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's Moroccan Mint Tea or Genmaicha Green Tea (UPDATE: Thanks Abi!! it was a surprise when i saw this on my table! Love you!!)

5.Gym Bag - that does not look like one :) just like this Fred Perry and it doubles up as a luggage for an overnight or weekend stay too.

 

6. Victoria Secret Cologne / Body Mist - (No colognes and perfumes - my boys have allergic rhinitis)

7. Pandora Charm Bracelet

8. Ticket to 2014 F1 Race in SG (kahit Walkabout lang) on 19, 20, 21 September 2014

Getting our F1 Tickets back in 2011 with my 5 year old Andre

9. Get Pregnant (preferably baby girl)

10. Donate to UNICEF Champions for Children  - Because the children are our future and aside from education, good nutrition is what they need now to survive. HELP NOW!

And that wraps up my Birthday and Christmas Wishlist this year :) Happy Birthday to me and Merry Christmas to all!!!

My Phoblet called Samsung Note 3

I got a new phone because my son kind of did something to it that it won't charge anymore after he used it. My 7 year old calls it my phone tablet, my IT hubby says it is a phoblet. And I guess it is. My Phoblet is the new Samsung Note3, courtesy of the retention program of my telecom provider. Its my 10th year with them so I guess its time to celebrate with a fab phone, tablet, Phoblet. (oh and I got promoted recently too.. so double celebration!)

At first I said I will use it during meetings to take down notes… since it’s a Note (and i expect more meetings that comes with that new position title on my email signature haha! ) . But after a day of testing it, I think I will stick with the good old notebook for this particular purpose. The Note3 is still too small for these long meetings.

However, I discovered 3 distinct features that I uber love.

1. The Scrapbook. Doodling on pages of the websites that I find interesting and NOTE-worthy. I’m having fun using it. My current project is for the #OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) Theme of our company Christmas party. I have this MNG dress given by my MIL (mother-in-Law) recently and I thought of wearing it in this event… I don’t usually dress up on day-to-day basis but Christmas party we need to make an extra effort (hey its just once in a year you know..).

 

With the help of the Scrapbook and Pinterest, I get ideas on what look do I want for the event.. shoes, belts, accessories, Hair, bags, tights or no tights? (haha!) add notes to self on where to buy, brand etc. And the most important thing is the convenience that I bring this scrapbook anywhere I go and can refer to it anytime.

 

2. Story Album. A pre-set layout where you can save your photos, create captions and order album prints. I actually just discovered it a few days ago and had my first crack of it during my officemate’s Birthday Tea Party. Though slide shows can only be seen (with music) using the phoblet, you can share the layout in jpeg or in pdf and send via email or upload in social media.

3. Sound & Shot. Though I have not tried this yet (I’m still waiting for the perfect time to take this shot) I think it’s an awesome way to take photos and I can’t wait to try it out.
Will definitely post it when i get the chance :)


Making memories with these gadgets are so fabulous... Create and post :)
