Reviewing the 2009 Wishlist

Narealize kong hindi ako nakagawa ng wishlist nung 2010 at 2011. However, despite the lack of wishlists, I would love to also realize how God has been blessing me throughout the years. 2012 na ngayon, so I have had 2 years and 1 month to have the 2009 wishlist fulfilled. Let's take a walk through the stuff..

1) arm band for iPod touch
--- i never did get to buy one. however, i did get to buy an armband for my iphone. so wala akong reklamo :)

2) yung orange leather-bound Bible na may kasamang free journal sa PCBS
--- i didn't get the orange leather-bound Bible, kahit in love na in love talaga ako sa kaniya. however, i did get the women's devotional study Bible. and i did get a lot of new notebooks. so... no reason to complain. at. all. :)

3) spacepen or parker jotter na black or green ang casing
--- i have my ninang kata to thank for a black parker sign pen and schuck for my black parker jotter. awesome!

4) nike + shoes in yellow green
--- nope, wala parin nike + shoes. but i do have a pair of running shoes that i get to use. :)

5) planner
--- so... hindi notebook-sized ang planner ko. i got a small one from papemelroti, and it's just perfect <3

6) cd ng albertine, paramore albums and demi lovato
--- although i know that piracy is bad (sorry po talaga, Lord) i downloaded these albums. and yes, i love them.

7) yung experiencing God devotional
--- never got it. but i have my Bible and ODJ devotional, so iz all gewd.

8) acoustic/electric guitar
--- no such luck here, either. still praying for it and saving up!

9) sketchpad and staedtler or faber castell pencils
--- thank you, pol and ate niki for the staedtler pencils <3

10) malaking mahabang unan
--- nope. but i love my pillows sa apartment, so i'm still gewd

11) booklight
--- may lampshade na ako sa aking kama :)

12) cardigan
--- YEHEY for box clothes!

13) cello or bass guitar lessons
--- after ng med, sabi ni nanay. YESSSSSS.

14) flowers
--- wala pa...

15) water jug
--- YES!!! thank you atetam!

16) shoulder bag na pwedeng paglagyan ng 15.3" laptop
--- i have realized that shoulder bags are impractical. my parents bought me a backpack and i LOVEZ et.

17) Ray Ban aviator sunglasses (or the cheapangga version)
--- la pa. pero ok lang, may mga ibang sunglasses naman dito samin :)

18) yung makabagong highlighter ng dongA
--- yes! thank you to hatchiitagirls for this!

19) arsenal football jersey
--- 85 pesos sa ukay. OH YEAH.

****

so i find myself in awe of how God has fulfilled so many of these things and also how He's changed my attitude about not getting what i want. God has taught me that sometimes the best things for us are not what we exactly want, but are things that we might not like at first but are (in reality) almost tailor-made for us.

i guess more than anything in my wishlist, God's best gift for me is a changed heart. and nothing can ever beat that :)
