lists, lists, lists
***** list no. 1- wish list
my mother has been asking my sister and i about what christmas gifts would we like to have for christmas. and per usual, i find that i had a difficult time answering this question. well here is my wish list, and is applicable both for christmas and my upcoming birthday:



  1. 10 class card to peridance- this card would allow me to take any 10 dance classes i want.
  2. a pair of boots with a matching coat.
  3. bibingka
  4. plane ticket back home
  5. digital camera (hehe)
  6. a decent pair of wallking shoes, not necessarily sneakers
  7. new pair of rubber shoes (di naman white)

so far that's all i can think of. and it's okay with me to not receive all of them, but i do feel that most of them are necessary. numbers 6 and 7 are essential here, since the pavement of new york is hard to walk on. and i was informed that everything here is on sale starting on the 26th, until new year. hope that everything will be cheaper by 50%. all of them, i think i can have (assuming that i have the money), except for the bibingka, which i'll have to wait for until i come home, and the digital camera because i'd rather save my money to buy one.

it took me this long to write this list. i really couldn't feel all christmas-y in spite of the snow. but that would entail a different entry.


*****list no.2- for the past year (2004)...
this list is a reflection on some of the significant things that happened to me this year. i'm not really the type of person who makes new year's resolutions. so here it goes.


  1. i spent my new year's eve in an airplane
  2. my uncle got married this year
  3. i've realized how lucky i am to find someone who is willing to work things out in a long distance relationship. so far, he has exceeded my expectations from any relationship at all.
  4. i've realized the importance of dance all over again
  5. this is the only time i really experienced missing my family...
  6. i've become closer to people like tabby, nikka, almira and several other blockmates
  7. read my paper for panitikabataan
  8. finished my thesis and graduated
  9. i've repeated days and lost some of them because of traveling. speaking of traveling i realized how much fun and stressful it is to travel by myself. i could actually relax more when i traveled with my mother last may.
  10. i've been encouraged by several professors to continue writing about dance.

and i hope i can add these to my list: watched a number of broadway musicals, experienced my first gamble in atlantic city. (yes. i'll be of legal age soon...in a couple of days)
