I am --

Relentless.

I think that's a good word to describe me especially when I want something. I know when it's just a passing fancy or a phase because I don't feel compelled to pursue it to the best of my ability or I don't get it even when the opportunity presents itself to me. (Like the waffle maker -- my sister and I were in front of one last week and I passed on it.)

My current wants (which I am moving heaven and earth to get) --
1. A new camera -- well, I have this na. I told my sister and Johann to give me money na lang for Christmas and I asked my dad to split the cost with me as an advance birthday present. My brother was very nice and took the time to buy it in Japan (loads cheaper than if I got it here.)

2. A lightweight stroller for Seth -- my mom was supposed to get one for Seth. A lovely lightweight Combi from China, but she her luggage had exceeded the weight limit so she didn't buy it. So I'm still working on this one.

3. A pair of Crocs -- I'm looking forward to going to Manila so I can look for a pair. I've contemplated ordering this online and shouldering the cost of shipping.

Countdown --

It's 25 days to Christmas.

It's 37 days to our birthday. (Johann and I are going to celebrate our birthday at David's Tea House. It's opening this December. Yay!)
