I saw this in Shabby’s blog and wanted to do the same.

step one: make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered…whatever you’re comfortable with) to your LJ/blog. the post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes.

the wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (”i’d love a ______ icon that’s just for me”) to medium (”i wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (”all i want for christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.”). the important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

if you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just your email address where santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ/blog or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

step two: surf around your friends list (or friends’ friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list.

here’s the important part — if you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use — do it.

you need not spend money on these wishes unless you want to. the point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to be someone else’s holiday elf — to spread the joy. gifts can be made anonymously or not — it’s your call.

there are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. give, and you might receive. and you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.

My wishes:

1.  A new dark/goth theme for this blog
2. Hiro Mizushima’s first photobook
3. San-X Nyan Nyan Nyanko or Wanroom stuff
4. Digital photography lessons
5. Amazon or Fully Booked gift certificate
6. Any manga by Junji Ito
7. Extra battery or memory card for my Nikon D80
8. Camera tripod
9. Clothes or accessories for my Yasu (my BJD)
10. Electric sewing machine

7 Random Facts/Habits

I was tagged by Euri with this meme.

Instructions for this meme:

• Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about himself/herself.
• People who are tagged need to explain the 7 random facts/habits about themselves in their blogs.
• Then in turn, they need to choose 7 people to tag and list their names at the end of their blogs.
• The player needs to visit their sites too and inform them (say, by leaving a comment) that they have been tagged and that they need to read your (the player’s) blog to find out more about it.

Here goes:

Okay, Valentine’s Day but since a lot of people will get laid, I might as well call it Vagina. V Day means nothing to me. How could it when almost all my life I’ve been single. Even when I was in a relationship I didn’t get shit except a crappy eyesore of a card. A lot of people, single or taken, are making a big deal out of it so I decided to write about the damn day.

So what will I be doing for V Day? Absolutely nothing special. I’ll just go to work, do some errands, go home, watch some telly, and go online. Just the usual day. Maybe I can squeeze in a few pages of the book I’m reading. That would make the day a bit special.

Although the day doesn’t really mean anything to me, I am still giving mom and my sister presents. I bought a bunch of bag organizers from a multiply seller so I gave them one of each. I have an extra gift for mother because I got a coupon for free roses when I bought my digital camera. The three red roses were delivered today and mom was surprised. Hehe. I know it’s just a freebie but it’s still nice. I received a few presents as well. I got money from mom. Jesus Effing Christ!!! I just checked the envelope she gave me and there’s 4,000 bucks inside. I was only expecting to receive 500 or a thousand from her. I guess our company is doing well then. Wow. 4,000 pesos. *shakes head* I got a box of chocolates from Auntie Noemie and even more chocos from Tita Amor. Sweet. They shouldn’t have given me anything.

Should I give gifts to people I love on V Day? Even platonic love or familial love? My notion of V Day is it’s just a day for couples. Ugh. Is this weird? Or am I correct?

I should be asleep now but what the heck. Happy Valentine’s Day, dear readers!

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
