wishlist

Ten days til Christmas and I still have no wishlist, that's new.huh.
Anyway, for the heck of tradition here's my Christmas wishlist:

1. A new phone.
Only because I have to hit my current phone against the wall sometimes to get it to work.
I'm not very hard to please. I use my phone for texting and calling. That's it. I already figured out that touch screen aint for me--My fingers are too clumsy for it.And i forget to lock it and all the messages or what not end up accidentally erased, or my bag, or elbow or ass ends up calling people I dont intend to call. Other features end up unused as well.

2. Bag/purse
I don't usually buy bags and purses. I really don't know why I don't enjoy shopping for 'em. I love receiving them as presents though.

3. Sneakers. Low-cut, not bulky, neutral colors (or maybe red).

I don't have em. I'm a size 7.

4. organizers

like boxes with drawers or tool/make-up kits. I can't have enough of them. am i organized? hah. not really. but I attempt to be at least once a year. That's when these babies come in handy. Most of the time I just like seeing them.

5. Bedsheets and comforter.

King size please.

6. uh... how do i say it... upper undergarments?

c'mon, good ones that fit me are hard to come by.

7. Picture frames.

Preferably dark wood frames

8. zoom lens

canon mount, general purpose kind. 17-55 f/2.8 maybe. or better. traded my old zoom lens coz i feel in-love with a prime and can't afford to have both that time :p

9. A dress watch.

coz I don't have one.

10. A car.

no really. i'd love one. of course id have to learn how to drive but...

since I owe Liz a blog...

I'm here right now at the gazeboish part of our building's mini park. We've been here in Seoul for about a week and but I've never had time to blog until now. Well, so the experience. It's a mixture of ooohs and ahhhs and wtfs. I need to learn a little Hanggul to be able to get through the rest of my stay here, me thinks. So far I've survived with sign language and a lot of smiles. But yeah everything is pretty convenient here. Learning the subway and bus routes aint as hard as I thought.
I've had of course my first soju and Kalbi by my 2nd night here; my first noribang on my first weekend. Got a new kick-ass camera too for a good deal. hehe.We've been to pretty crazy parts of the city, including an American bar where people sing their national anthem at midnight. The weather was sunny cool but it's getting colder and colder at nights since fall is approaching. I've a feeling though that the honeymoon period is waning and I'm starting to miss home. I mean this place is pretty cool. Everything's hi-tech, and there's a lot of people to see. But there's still no place like home i guess. Di rin pla masaya ng malamig ng walang kayakap haha.

Maskara

Panayan da kang datang. Ika na akit mu kung ninu aku talaga. Balu ku na patse datang ka akit mu na sasalikut ku mu king maskarang ini; na papakit ku mu na ala kung pakialam, mapamyalung, at ali byasang lumugud; na apapanasakit da ka kasi lalabanan ku ing daramdaman ku para keka; na akit mu na king kilublublan ku metung ku mung babaying tatakut lugud at manasakit. Panayan da ka, ika na talan king gamat ku palwal king madalumdum kung pisasalikutan. Para keka buklat ke ing pasbul ning biye ku, para keka lako ke ing maskara kung mapagmasyas at mailap. Para keka isugal ke ing pusu ku.
