baby's gift

Me: You want to come with me?

Baby: Where?

Me: I'm going to the store to get a gift for the baby.

Baby: Me? You'll buy me a gift?

Me: Nope, not you. The other baby, the little girl of Tita D.

Baby: Oh. No, I'm not coming.

Hahaha!

expensive tastes

my baby has quite expensive taste when it comes to toys. that or the fact that toys are really expensive nowadays. either way, i cannot seem to afford the toys he likes. for one, he wants to have hotwheels wall tracks. his cousins have one in their house and he only gets to play when he visits. i scouted around and found out it costs P2,300 more or less for the starter kit. huh??? that much? he also wants to have a vtech electronic learning game that i'm sure costs several thousands as well. if you ask him, he can narrate the toys he wants: scan2go, power rangers, ben10 and of course, thomas the train.

i would have wanted my son to have a merry christmas but i'm afraid i can't buy them all. i have yet to wrap a christmas present for him. and i can't do that because i haven't bought one yet. hahaha! oh well! his daddy also does not know what to give him yet. but i told him to get the vtech game. hopefully, he'll be able to buy it in time. at least, that's one toy off my list.

i know my baby is a bit spoiled but he's the only one i've got. who else am i supposed to spoil? = )

my christmas list

i have yet to complete my christmas list. i haven't even gotten anything for the baby yet. this year, i plan to give him several toys and wrap it for him especially. however, the toys i want for him are expensive so i'll probably end up buying only one! = )

when i made a list of my godchildren, i noticed that my list was a bit short. and i was racking my brains for kids i was supposed to buy presents for but i can't seem to remember. then last week, my friend pm-ed me. i was invited to her kid's birthday who happened to be my godchild! hahaha! no wonder my list is short, she wasn't included! so i had to add her name.

i plan to complete my list tomorrow or tuesday. i am flying out again by wednesday. friday and saturday will probably be a too late. i have yet to assess the budget and i am waiting for the bf to give me my christmas bonus! hahaha!

almost done....

i took the time to multitask today. i took the baby out and went christmas gift shopping. i just got back from travelling with the bf and i wanted to make up by taking the baby out. he likes toy window shopping so i brought him with me while i brought presents. i like bringing the baby to the toy department because he's content with just watching and trying out toys. he does not insist on getting a toy for himself but waits if i am willing to get him one. usually, i just get an inexpensive toy and he's fine with it.

while the baby was browsing the aisles, i was able to buy gifts for the kids. i have yet to get 3 or 4 more but that will have to wait. at least i'm more than halfway done. for my immediate family, i have yet to buy, as well as for our household help. i will just wait for my mom for that.

i asked the bf what he wanted from me and said i didn't have to bother. but i will get him something for sure. anyway, he can wait. hahaha! i am still wondering what to give my dad. i have difficulty choosing a gift for him. if i can't think of something, well, cash will have to do.

because i was in the mood, i also finished wrapping the gifts i bought. it's too bad my mom didn't put up a tree this year. she was too lazy to do so and now it's too late. i ended up putting the gifts on the dining table. = )

christmas, gifts and sharing

christmas is in the air. barely 25 days to go and it's the much anticipated holiday of the year. i am not looking forward to it this year. hahaha! as usual, i am broke and i need lots of moolah to buy presents. but then again, God moves in mysterious ways and i know that i will be able to find enough money to buy gifts for my family and godchildren.

***********
the bf is a lousy gift giver. pardon me, but it is true. he now gives me cash instead so i will be able to choose the gift i want. i'm glad to get money but i guess it's also nice to have a present to open. nevertheless, the bf does not want anything from me. but i do give him a gift every year. i give practical gifts like a belt or wallet etc. i tried giving him a shirt one time but it didn't fit him. hahaha! this year, i'll have to rack my brain yet again for a present for the bf. but i know i will find something before gift-giving time comes.

***********
i will have to unload my closet again and give away old clothes- we all do that every year. every christmas, people come to the house and my mom gives away rice, goods and old stuff for her constituents. my closet looks really empty but it's a nice feeling within. besides, its another excuse to buy clothes for the new year! since we all give away, there is something for everyone. men, women and for little boys. too bad there's no little girl in the family yet. i remember the time when i had just given birth, even my maternity clothes were not spared because a pregnant lady came and her clothes weren't fit for someone expecting.

**********
when the new year rolls in, i will go back to being broke again. hahaha! after christmas, we'll be going out of town for our annual holiday trip. oh well, money comes and money goes! besides, we should celebrate because life is short!
