Yes...it's Christmas time once again...the festive season when everyone's out shopping and it gets increasingly difficult to get parking spaces somehow...the time when it's the parents that flock to video game stores, not the kids...the time when "gift sets" are out because stores just KNOW that you'll have to get SOMETHING...the time when things're all 20% off..or so they seem...it's a lot of things to lots of people, but for me, Christmas time =
STRESS..and i can't remember how long it has been since i last
enjoyed stress...
I'll be the first to admit that i suck at buying gifts, and that i get sleepless nights over it...i'm not the type who can just get ANYTHING, but eventually i know that i have to make a decision and get a gift for that someone...currently, i'm having it easy 'cos it's just my family's stuff that i'm focusing on, but if i want to get Christmas gifts for my friends too..argh. I wish i knew what they need or want. My family too.
I know that if my kids (in the future) asked me what i wanted, i would tell them EXACTLY what are my material wants, and not some lame crap like "surprise me", 'cos it'll give them less of a headache, ease the pressure on them, benefit both parties, and of course, it actually
does answer their question.
At least i know what i need, want and desire in my life at the current moment.
What i need's probably...Companionship. A new toothbrush (erps). More ankle socks. A book on Law. Eyebag surgery 0.0. A driving licence. More hard-disk space. More s
leep.
School.
What i
want is probably...A PS2. More social events. Another pair of boardshorts. More tops. A "street-style" belt to go with my jeans. A faster internet connection. A debit card. A portable DIVX-capable dvd player that can
rewind..and
fast forward for that matter.
What i
desire (and probably can't
get for now) is probably...A PS
3. A car. Wealth. Knowlege of what lies
beyond...And a cute, sweet girlfriend (whose identity i MIGHT know lol).
And, oh yes...
ORD.
Oh, and also...A MACHINE THAT CAN GIVE ME THE PERFECT GIFT TO GIVE TO SOMEONE JUST BY PUTTING MONEY INSIDE! Or should that listed as a
need...LOL!!
Ahh whatever...haiz.
