So. The holidays are drawing near. And though I know nobody would really bother to get me any of these stuff-- here's the obligatory wish list for Christmas (I mean, I could try, right?):

1. A print of this gorgeous Audrey Kawasaki painting to hang in my room.

Her paintings make me wish I never "outgrew" my love for painting and sketching. I am so in love with her work! And if you grant me this wish you are going to have my love forever. FOREVER!!

2. An iPod Classic. 160GB for the soundtrack of my life? YES PLEASE.

3. The tattoo of my dreams. Not revealing the design here, but hopefully I get this done next weekend yay!

4. These booties to walk all over you.

In black, preferably. Of course I'm also dreaming of these beauties but I'm not looking forward to limping home each end of the day. Heh.

5. A coffee maker plz.

6. Round trip tickets to Japan for next year! The idea of getting lost in Tokyo or Kyoto excites me like making babies with Johnny Depp. Please sana matuloy na (I'm looking at you Mira and Ria!)

7. These lovely things for my bedroom.

8. Moar lace in my undies. Yes.

9. A vintage portable turntable (That distinct crackling sound before the record begins to play? Love) or a vintage typewriter. Yes, the one that makes a lot of noise. Nothing like typing noisily at night and keeping your neighbors awake to make one's being a (struggling) writer legit.

The black and white one would look absolutely perfect in my room. <3

10. A complete set of all of Fiona Apple's albums. Because that woman is a god.

11. A polaroid camera!

12. And finally, a cat who will curl up to me, ignore me, make disapproving looks at me, and most of all relay cosmic wisdom through his feline ways to me when I'm home.

I can already tell that this cat and I are gonna get along real well.

So there. My Christmas wish list. But you guys know I'll be happy with a book, a donut, or a bottle of beer. And oh yeah, a compass. I'm doing feng shui with my room. Stop laughing.

On a more socially relevant note, I also wish for Erap to go back to making movies. And stay there.

the morning after

posted by Nk. at 11:06 AM

So. I'm in Antipolo weekending at a friend's house. This is what I do to escape the city, or well, try to.

Anyway, so naturally I was intoxicated again Saturday night. I found myself in Kalesa Grille with Cat, Jo, and Janet discussing what else, world issues. Our world issues. Haha. We ended up downing four buckets of beer and by the time we were headed home I was knocked out in the backseat of the car and talking to the fairies in my sleep.

In the morning I realized a few things:

1. Beer is not my friend. I shall now stick to vodka, whose loyalty to me means I will not have to wake up feeling like the rock of Gibraltar has been relocated to the friggin' top of my head.

2. Criminal by Fiona Apple soundtracks nicely to my flirting skills after 5 bottles of beer.

3. I am still mystified by the necessity of exposed midsections in women singing in showbands.

4. I cannot believe I'm already 30 and I still drink like a college girl. Shouldn't I have a more sophisticated, grown up taste in drinks at this age, like wines and martinis. Not construction worker type drinks like Gran Matador, Red Horse, and Ginebra Gin.

5. I want a bath tub. And an awesome shower, like this:
