I can't express enough my dislike for anything that's too expensive including Aj's game console. Well that was before he bought it. I can't play the kind of games he's into but we both liked the Uncharted series and it's such a pain that the third installment's not gonna be available until the 1st of November. So we settled for Space Marines for me ('cause I told him the reviews are good and that's a total lie since I haven't read any reviews, I may have just browsed through it), Dead Rising for Aj, and Toy Story 3 for Julian.

I'm never stressed out about Christmas until this year. Since the ber months kicked in, there was never a time I didn't think about it; decors, gifts, parties, etc. To make things worse for me I'm a) low on budget (thanks to the other unimportant holidays) and b) lack of skills in the baking and creative department.

However, I'm not completely doomed after all! I found these amazing simple baked treats and DIY crafts online for gifts and give-aways.

Have you got any suggestions? Share it with people like me so we can all have a merry Christmas.

* Crafts, recipes, home decor ideas at Delia Creates. How I wish creativity and sewing skills can be bought.
* Simple recipes: peanut butter cups and cupcake frosting (peanut butter and cream cheese).

P.S. Just learned how to make origami boxes with cover and dividers too!

Great posters from upcoming movies:

Let’s not bore you with what kind of endeavor we busied ourselves with for a week because nothing interesting comes up when you put “work” and “hard” together. You must know what I mean by that right?

Anyway, this is just to, first, thank Ms. Jenny for being so generous to us all the time. When I think about it, everything was worth it.

From the Palms: Mango cheesecake and Orea Caramel cake

Ice cream from Yellow Cab: I got pistachio, the rest had strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Too bad I didn't take pictures of those!

New York's Finest from Yellow Cab. There's also Darla and another flavor that tasted like New York's , too.

Secondly, just to brag about our feast. Until the next production.

Chocolate Overload from Conti's

At 10:30 PM last Saturday, the last thing I was expecting to go home to is people cleaning up the party mess. Last year, the party ended at around 3 in the morning.

Yep, I have one now!
This is the first time I made a Christmas list, a list where everything in it is what I really want. It's kind of amusing for me that I finally had a list like this because the last time I badly wanted something for myself was way back 2004 (a baby Winnie The Pooh stuffed toy, which I named Soknat, at 7-11 in Vito Cruz) and it's not helping that they're expensive!
