what i got for Christmas …

 

… nope, not my two front teeth (although I’m thankful I still have them and that they are more aligned than ever! Hehehe).

After my “wish list” post, let’s see what wonderful gifts I got this Christmas. From the office: a wooden 3D puzzle of a vintage car (from Karen), a daily diary/planner (from Wilson), “Daily Bread” and a utility knife keychain (from Bico), a picture frame (from Joey), a candy cane (from Mon), a LED torch (from Sir Sof), a box of tarts (from Angie of Fritz and Macziol), and a card wallet (from Lenovo).

On the family and friends side, the following “filled the stocking”:

— from Pam: “Abadazad: The Road to Inconceivable – Book 1” by J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Ploog. I’ve heard lots of great reviews on this book and when I saw the comic book-like interiors, I decided that I have to have this.

— from Mike: “Clue” boardgame. Back when I was a kid, we used to spend lots of time playing “Cluedo” (I always choose Col. Mustard because his token is yellow colored). Being one of my favorite games, I “needed” to have my own copy (yup, it’s the completist in me). Good thing a new edition came out, with much, much improved game tokens.

— from Ate Yeng: a pink polo shirt from Bench (my first pink shirt!)

— from Kuya Eboy, Ana, and Miguel: “Express Lane Meals” by Rachael Ray (!)

— from Kuya Rommel: Body Shop kikay thingies for men: shower gel, face protector, face scrub, and face wash all inside a beautiful kikay bag 😉

— from Mitch and Mon: a pair of Bench overhauled jeans (yay!)

— from Bheng: “Superman Ultimate Collector’s Edition” 14-disc DVD set encased in a tin box (a request from me) and a pair of Giordano jeans (yipeee!!!)

All in all, a very good haul. A very good haul, indeed! Hope yours is as satisfying as mine! Continue having a blessed and merry Christmas season 🙂

P.S. for the day: Bheng and I watched a movie in Edsa Shangri-La Mall earlier (review to be posted later). Afterwards, we ate dinner at Shabu-Shabu (yummy and filling!) and went to Marks and Spencer to buy a gift for our dentist. What every parent’s fear about their child in a fragile section came true for me: I dropped and broke a glass of air freshener! Good thing it was the tester bottle (I didn’t get charged) 😉
