Christmas Wish List (2013)

I remember I told someone I didn't want anything for Christmas what I meant by that was if there is someone who is so kind and sweet enough to give me something for Christmas. I hope or wish he/she would give me these.. at least one of these precious things I really adore and been wanting to have.

1. The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

I have been going to every bookstores I ran into just to buy this book. Unfortunately either the book is out of stock or sold out but it would really really make my Christmas joyous if someone would give me this as a present. The title itself "The Language of Flowers" will give you an idea what it is about. Yes, the names of every flower has its meaning and are used to express our emotions/feelings...

Source Wikipedia:

The language of flowers, sometimes called floriography, was a Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken… The nuances of the language are now mostly forgotten, but red roses still imply passionate, romantic love and pink roses a lesser affection; white roses suggest virtue and chastity and yellow roses still stand for friendship or devotion. Also commonly known meanings are sunflowers, which can indicate either haughtiness or respect… Gerbera(daisy) means innocence or purity. The iris, being named for the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, still represents the sending of a message. An Anemone signifies disappearance of hope. A pansy signifies thought, a daffodil regard, and a strand of ivy infidelity…

I also would love to know how the novel was beautifully written. I heard the author did a great job writing it in terms of the story and development of the character. And besides of falling in love with flowers and books, what I truly like about books is they give me a sense of belongingness that I cannot have in reality, lessons and all sorts of realizations that I never thought can happen in one's life. Books are like teachers and adventurers to me :')

2. A planner/organizer

A sample - not the exact planner I want but I like the design

Since I entered college a planner became an essential notebook to buy yearly - it helped me to become more organized, to remember important dates and appointments, allows me to have my private space for doodling - using my colorful set of pens (write down everything that will motivate me throughout the year such as lyrics from a song, quotes, or poems etc.) and record all the events I do not want to forget and I also staple or stick receipts, movie/concert tickets, flowers, etc (the best part of having a planner) ohh let us not forget those cute and vintage post-its : - )

With the design I am very meticulous in choosing which design or pattern to buy. Sometimes it takes me 30 or 45 minutes to choose (my mom gets mad at me for being like that) it's like shopping for clothes. I want a planner that suits my personality or interests/likes. 

Well if you are curious with my likes or interests: I am giving you hints

I like sea, clouds, boats, letters/postcards, and flowers.

It's also my wish to TRAVEL - set my foot on each continents that would be the last thing I will ever do before I die.

This soft, floral, and sweet perfume is a must-have for every ladies especially for a girl like me who wants to smell like a flower! : - P I have no words for this. I want it so bad though it's a little pricey but it's worth it you know.

So if ever someone is planning to give me something for Christmas here are the things that will make me truly happy for the holidays and I will definitely cherish it. But you know, since Christmas is about giving love, spending time with your loved ones and sharing what you have. I am not going to be 'pushy' about this list. I can purchase these things someday. Your presence and greeting is enough to make my Christmas an unforgettable one!
