wiSh liSts aNd mOrE WisH LiStS


--- *-* ---

my wish list (any one of the listed below):
Hillsong United - This is Our God CD
Hillsong United - All of the Above CD
Hillsong United - King of Majesty CD

-- i just love Hillsong United worship songs...
just imagine yourself praising God and at the same time listening to
non-earthly alternative and rock songs plus ballads

-- after my class had a party last night, i got what i wanted...
a "HILLSONG UNITED - THIS IS OUR GOD" CD
courtesy of my "Small But Terrible Awardee" classmate,
and Physical Diagnosis demo partner --> Ram Malapitan

-- he told a common friend that he wanted to get all three for me...
he was shocked after seeing the price...
exchange gifts were valued at 400, the CD costs 450 - 550..

-- thanks for the effort to give all my three wishes, RAM!
but one is already enough for me... God bless you.

my monita's wish list:
a cool bag where she can conveniently place her manuals
a 2 gig usb flash drive
a functional study lamp
-- i got her a nice bag from Clipper and a usb flash drive..
didn't have much time to look for a nice and functional study lamp..
the two gifts are obviously more than 400,
would even reach 900 with the lamp, but who cares, it's christmas!

dottie, my cell group leader in school...
(i have a different cell group in Faith Fellowhip)
a few days before the party, wished that I should have
picked her name instead...
-- she said that i'm galante daw!
-- haha she was right... she didn't get a gift that night!

--- *-* ---

December 18, a day after Pharma & Derma exams...
the party was held in Parilla along Don Antonio Heights,
-- boring place, poor ambiance, lousy service
-- the place was not exclusive as i should've have thought
-- whoever organized the party should consider improving the skills next time
-- the food was so-so, didn't really like it
-- iced tea was only a single serve, i hated it
-- good thing the games were superb
---> special thanks to Anj and Sid...

a grand consolation came when I won a watch in FUNNY BONES with Mary
and another consolation: rubber shoe key-chain as a token
greatest consolation: spending the party with my classmates
... they are my new-found friends now (my source of daily smiles)
another greatest consolation: my Hillsong United This is Our God CD

[the heck, i can't eat those, my tummy's shouting for food]
[AND MORE FOOD... buffet that is]
[i don't like parties where mediocrity is greater than reality]
[games should be subtle and food should overflow]
[next time i will attend a party, i will tell myself not to enjoy anything... hehe mediocre]
[EXCEPT FOR THE FOOD]

--- *-* ---

i got home half an hour past 12 midnight...
my unit was all dark, cold and lonely,
thinking that my wife and son were already asleep...
i heard my son's voice coming towards me after i close the door,
i was happy to see him run towards me...

-- then i felt my tummy rumbled; a rumbling borborygmus...
then asked around if there was still food...
-- and alas! there was none!

-- 87000 was the magic number!
half an hour after, it came...
2 piece chicken joy (all thigh) for Tim,
cheeseburger for Tere
and large fries for Todd

-- there goes one happy family...
all munching that feast from Jollibee...
after a failed Christmas party... wheew!
