#1 on my Christmas Wishlist for this year:

TREE OF CODES by Jonathan Safran Foer

It’s been so long that I was hoping to get a copy of this book for my own. I want to read it so badly because I am so interested at its unique form. Sadly, it was too expensive for my liking and I keep on postponing buying it. Instead, I am here, hoping, wishing, pleading for someone to give this to me as a Christmas present. 

Birthday Schmirthday.

I’m not really excited about my upcoming birthday next Thursday, July 26th. I would be turning nineteen and I am not very much into it. First of all, the usual gloomy and stormy weather is again at large. That brings my mood spiraling down to the very rock-bottom. Second is that it falls on a weekday, so no hopes in going out or whatever. Plus that’s the day when we have a 6-hour straight class, which is boring to the very core. And lastly, I don’t think I’ll be receiving the very thing I want for my special day: a VIP ticket for the Big Bang concert on October. Why? Well, because just a while ago, it was announced that the tickets for VIP 1 and 2 were already sold out. It’s sucks so much. Anyways, a can still think of a few things that might cheer me up on Thursday and that is if I receive any one of these:

  • CASH (cold and hard, for buying that concert ticket)
  • VIP tickets (still hoping for this very badly)
  • Kindle Fire (I really like this one because I can bring and read loads of books everywhere without the hassle)
  • The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott (I’ve been told by a lot of my book-lover friends that it’s good!)
  • Harry Potter Film Wizardy or Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Film-making Journey (HELLO! Who wouldn’t want this?)
  • Or any book from my goodreads that aren’t in the books-i-own category.
  • External hard drive (I really need this one, too! My laptop’s about to explode with huge amounts of files)

I know that these are all too much but then these are what I so desperately want and need. The chance of me getting any of these is close to null, but I still have that little piece of hope left. So yeah, wish me luck!

I wouldn’t die unless I have done ALL these things.

So I have this list inside my head of the things I would do before I let myself die. I swear to myself that I would hold on to my last few breaths no matter what, even when I am already an inch away from death, if I still haven’t done all of these things.

So here they are:

  • Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando
  • Meet and have all my Potter books signed by JK Rowling
  • Shave my head
  • Get that two tattoos I really want
  • Meet and have a conversation with John Green and Hank Green
  • Punch Steven Moffat in the face (although meeting him would be more likely)
  • Meet one of the Doctors (Eccleston, Tennant, Smith) and have our picture taken at the TARDIS
  • Go to Greece
  • Have a baby (yes, not now but in the future)
  • Finish all the books in my to-read list

I know that some of these seem a bit too out of my league but whatever. I really want to do all this things and I don’t care how difficult they are to achieve. I swear, I would not die if I haven’t done everything listed in here.

Unlike many others, I wouldn’t ask for 2012 to be an awesome and brilliant one. I just want to get through the next year peacefully. Not perfect or anything superb, just let me just have the strength to face the new year to come.

"More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to be close to someone. More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to feel as if i wasn’t alone."
James Frey (A Million Little Pieces)

All I want for Christmas is…

BOOKS. What could possibly make me any happier than these precious books! So if you plan to buy me a gift this Christmas, just pick one of these and you’ll be on top of my favorite friends:

  • Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith (been looking for this for a long time)
  • The Death Cure by James Dashner (to complete the series)
  • 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami (need I say more?)
  • Submarine by Joe Dunthorne (fell in love with the movie)
  • Legend by Marie Lu (new dystopian book I want to read)
  • Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy by Douglas Adams (just because)

So, yeah. That’s it. If you can’t find them, I wouldn’t say no to any bookstore GCs or cash. Kidding. Haha. One of my friends told me that I’m one of those few who they find easy to give presents to because I’m satisfied with books. Well, I dunno. It really makes me glad when I open a present only to find an awesome book to read. Make me happy this season. Make my wish come true. :)

"I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it — to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once."
Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)
"Words can be worrisome, people complex, motives and manners unclear, grant her the wisdom to choose her path right, free from unkindness and fear."
Neil Gaiman (Blueberry Girl)

Longing.

Sometimes you take one look at another person’s family, perhaps your friend’s, and then you can’t help but envy them and just wish you can have the same. To be able to have dinner together, talk about just everything. You know, be complete and happy together. Because in the back of your head, you realize that it is what you always wanted to have, what you hope to happen to your own home. But that’s just it, it will never happen to you. It was not meant for you to have. 

Sometimes, I wish for someone to just take my hand, grip it tight, look into my eyes and tell me everything is going to be alright because he/she will be there for me no matter what.

But the sad part is, I never get to have my wish come true..

Dear future soulmate: I only want you to do one thing for me. Love me, like Severus Snape loved Lily Evans.

Now, all I hope for is that they release the deleted scenes of HPDH2. I am desperately hoping that the good parts I wish were included in the final movie, would be in all of those deleted scenes.

It’s funny how we always wish that the classes would get suspended every time it rains.

Admit it, you are one of us.

So, the flood outside my dorm is already knee-deep. Please, suspend our classes tomorrow. We don’t want to swim the roaches and whatever else are floating in that flood. :|

As always, I’m wishing that I could be alone right now rather than having to put up with people who don’t really get me.
