The Un-wishlist

I was rummaging through my small cabinet and found these cookbooks. My friends gave them to me as bday gift this year, gosh I received 7 of these small booklets. Wah kelan ko maluluto lahat yan!!! haha. This is quite unique. :)


Speaking of gifts, some questions popped into my mind. Is it really just the thought that counts? Probably I think otherwise. If I were the giver, I'd prefer not just the thought to be remembered but my 'gift' to be used as well. Kung nakatabi lng sa ilalim ng kama, parang nasasayangan ako. :) But if I were the receiver, mababaw lang kaligayahan ko so I'd probably appreciate anything, though getting something that I really want, well that's another thing. :p

If I have to construct an opposite of wishlist, (or the un-wishlist) here's what I would put:

Scented candles - gosh during Kris Kringles, I have received scented candles countless times. And I dont know what to do with them. If I put them in one corner, chances are, after a few months the color messes and oil forms - so probably straight into the waste can when maid cleans the house.

Celfon bling blings - the long hanging keychain-like burloloys hanging in cellphones na kumakalansing at sumasabit sa bulsa at bag or even buhok. I dont know why there are people who are fond of these bling-blings. Hassle dumukot ng fon with so many excess baggage! :p But anyway, you can actually use the bling-blings for decorating your bags, etc. But for me, definitely not on celfons.

Mugs (ceramic mugs) - haha I also buy mugs when I dont know what to buy, it's one of those default gifts for unisex that you can grab during last minute shopping. Hmm I dont like receiving mugs. How many mugs can you use at a time? Probably just one in the kitchen (or another one in your bedroom, then another one in your office) You dont keep changing your mugs every now and then right? Hindi naman tulad ng damit na okay lng palit nang palit. Wehehe

Do let me know if there are popular items to be included in majority's un-wishlist. :p
