So. First of November. All Saints’ Day. Tomorrow, November 2, is All Souls’ Day, yet people flock to the cemeteries today. Makes me wonder why that is so, but seeing as tomorrow’s a regular working day I guess I should not be surprised.

Anywho.

On the other side of the spectrum, it would be my birthday in a few days. Whee! Another year to add to the calendar, though I am not feeling the weight of the additional year. Imma be forever young, baby! Haha. Kid at heart and all that. And as an advance birthday present for myself, I got a new pair of kicks yesterday. Yey!

Sooo lovin’ the style and colors! And this is the only pair from Merrell that fit my teeny-tiny feet (a wee US size 5, or 5.5 at most) so I must say that this really is for me. Haha.

Someone’s asking what items are in my (birthday+Christmas) wishlist this year. Feeling generous, eh? Or just plain asking? Haha. Truth is I am not sure what I really want. Not that I am already contented with life and my worldly possessions as it is, but somehow I do not really feel so much the gadget lust that used to burn so passionately within my lusty little soul. Hmmm… Changing much?

Otherwise… *winks* Here are some stuff that I wouldn’t mind finding underneath our Christmas tree (with my name on, of course):

 

macbook air
11 or 13 inches, take your pick

 

I have just barely managed to finish the payment for my netbook, but that does not prevent me from making goo-goo eyes at this anorexic beauty. Whoo!

 

ipod touch
the new iPod touch

 

My brave little 2nd-gen iPod nano is still alive and kicking (Sir!) but I wouldn’t decline a gift such as this. Haha.

 

Canon-EF-50mm-f1.8-II-Camera-Lens
Canon EF 50mm f1.8 Mark II Lens

 

This is the cheapest most bang-for-your-buck lenses in Canon’s lineup of nosebleed-inducing (read: expensive) lenses. I haven’t yet upgraded from my humble kit lens so this is pretty much a must for me, wontcha agree?

 

canonmug
Canon 24-105mm Lens Cup

Now, this is about the closest I’ll ever be to having an L lens to my name. Haha. Ain’t it great? Coffee would be infinitely better if sipped from this cup. Wheee!

 

 

chocolate
Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts

 

But really, just give a me chocolate and I’m happy as the proverbial clam. Make it a dozen of this and I’ll be forever grateful. Really. Haha.

How about you, what do you want for Christmas this year? =)
