The StorIES Behind My Christmas Gifts

Who said that Christmas is only for children?? Well, not for me :) I received lovely gifts from friends and family whom I treasure so much this holiday season. And for these, I would like to personally THANK them...from the bottom of my heart. (sob....lol)

First off, my youngest sister gave me these Happy Bath Facial Yogurts! I have been looking online for these but I was not lucky enough to find any. I was able to see one seller on Facebook but only to inform me that she already ran out of stock. So my sister, who happens to be an English teacher for Koreans here in Angeles City asked one of her students to buy me these since he will be visiting Korea in few days. These facial yogurts traveled all the way from Korea! Thank you sissy!

These Adidas slippers were given to me in advance by my other sister (first week of December) when she found out that I have booked a flight to Boracay. I love the color purple! She knew that I can't wear slippers, shoes or flip flops that only looks good on me. She ensured that I am comfortable with them considering that my left foot was badly sprained 3 years ago and it never went back to how it was before. These lightweight and soft-cushioned slippers are very useful and comfy for long walks :)

The Maldita blouse ala dress (left) was given by my youngest sissy's boyfriend. She asked helped from her in finding me a Christmas present. My sister knows me well . I love stuffs/things that have uniqueness in them, just like this not-so-typical dress/blouse.

The blouse on the right side was given by a close friend of my other sister. She is also the first cousin of the guy I mentioned above (my eldest sissy's bf). It is a blouse from Kamiseta :) I tried it on and I uber love the cottony feeling of it. 

Thank you ssooo much to both of you. By the way, if you've noticed both of them have given me black blouses. FYI, I don't wear white (except when they require it at work) :-X

Oh! Before I forget, the bangles on the right blouse were given by my kumare. She knows I uber like love accessories too!

And these are the gifts from a very good friend - Butterfly perfume from Marks and Spencer, Cork Shoes from Steve Madden and UCB Bag; which of course followed the motif for this year's color of the year which is Emerald Green :) 

Mark and Spencer's Butterfly Eau De Toilette 

This has another story. If he'll be able to read this post (he never visits my blog! LOL), he will be amazed that the black Sisley bag that we bought was changed to UCB Emerald Green. The first bag was too big (although I love big bags), so I had it changed to a "smaller" one. 

I received text messages asking for my shoe size. Told him it depends on the brand.; for local, most of the time, broken size or none. For US brands, I can go from 8 to 10. He got me size 9 of these but when I tried them, they are short a little so he had them changed to 10. I am GRATEful that you spent time and effort in giving me these. Thank YOU :)

I wasn't able to get pics of the other gifts that were given by my good friends at work. I got Chef Tony popcorn from Ms. Aileen of Fruitful Voyage and an orange tumbler from Coline of Memoirs of a Chinadoll.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for remembering me during the Holidays!
