I'm Roanne

Christmas is all about gift-giving. Sometimes, I think it’s absurd, but I have this compulsive disorder of giving presents even if it will blow my budget big time in the long run. Well, I used to be like that (hence, the past tense). Now, here comes the pragmatic me–making sure that all’s within my reach-slash-budget.

Well, anyhoos, it’s not that I give because I expect something in return. Hey, Christmas is more of giving rather than receiving. I think maturity befalls me so easily that I never ever expect a gift in return, and it’s okay. I really don’t care about the present. Rather, I appreciate the thought of giving more than anything else.

Enough gab and drama, I actually splurged one for myself. It’s a Birthday-slash-Christmas gift since I think I ought to be very selfish at times. So, I got myself an iPod Touch.

*iPod Touch is LOVE.*

This is by far the greatest thing I’ve ever bought! I super duper love it! I am not really much of a gadget freak, but if I hafta buy some gadget, I wanna make sure it’s really versatile. I’m playing with this baby more than my PSP to date.

Obviously, it plays music and videos which greatly satiate the audiophile in me. It also has wifi which lets me surf the net and download more applications. Speaking of applications, I could get as many as I can for free–may it be games, scheduler/organizer, e-books, etc.

Another gift that I love: Philosophy’s The Coffee House Set. I got this from my office’s Secret Santa. It’s really nice that P, my Secret Santa, and I have the same taste and she chose this one from a myriad of stuff I indicated on my wish list. I’m a big fan of scents, so this one’s a surefire winner on my olfactory sense. More story on my other blog.

Last gift that I got was from my childhood friend. J just gave me a very beautiful scarf! I have a newfound penchant for wearing and collecting scarves and shawls, and this one really fulfills my utmost desire. It’s a pretty brownish woven scarf that’s just perfect for all occasions! I’m gonna post a picture here as soon as I got my camera cable ready.

In hindsight, of course, all gifts I received are very much appreciated! I love them all–the lingerie, bangles, monies (lol), pambahays, kikay stuff, etc. I couldn’t ask for more!
