Some 2009 Gifts!

Recently, I have shared with you my 2008 gifts received from my officemates via Picture Story. This time, I will share with you some of my 2009 gifts received from my same officemates!

So, as we are counting the blessings we had received in 2009, let us then count these small but meaningful gifts from some of the persons around me!

Take a quick glance with some of the presents!

Is there Something Missing...?!

A Box of Chocolates...So sweet, So Yummy!!!

What's Inside The Box?!

So Soft, So Smooth, Really Stress Absorber!

A Personal Key Chain for the Rock!

Are you contented with these little things? Or you really appreciated them?!

Well, if you were to ask me, I was really thankful receiving these things! Just like what I have said previously, it's not the gifts that matter, it's the thought that counts! It doesn't matter how small or big the gifts you had, what so important is the values of each!

And looking with these gifts, what can you say about them?! Yeah, they were really cool! Let me say something about each one!

My favorite gift from them all is the small blue miniature car. As you can see during your invasion, I place it on the upper part of my computer table! Yeah, since I like it so much, I used it as a display! So nice to my view!

I know you are wondering why there is a brush with a mirror on the back in these gifts. It was given by my officemate friend to me. She gave me a gift such this to make my hair more healthy. According to her, this blush is a medicinal thing. With its light pointed teeth, when you comb it on your hair, your scalp will be massaged allowing your nerves to circulate blood that lets your hair grow! She also gave me a circular coin bank for my brother. Remember my search for a coin bank for my brother!

The rest of the gifts were stress balls, smiley eraser, key chain, memo holder, and a box of chocolates! Oops...not part of the pictures are the gelatin fruit cake and the Christmas candy. Yeah we already ate them so they were not included in the pictures! They were already in my stomach! Haha!

All these gifts were already in our home. I displayed them in my room. I won't place it anymore in my workstation since my working area is now overloaded with so many gifts and things as you can see before!

So see you next year as we open other more gifts from the different persons we love...!!! c",)

The Search For The Piggy Bank

Yesterday, I roam around the different malls and department store. Yup, after my work in my office, I imediately go to the malls near in our place. It is because my younger brother ask me to buy a piggy bank for him. He will now starting to save his money given by me. So instead of opening him a bank account, he just got decided to save some of his coins and excess allowance in a piggy bank.

But take note, he is looking for NOT an ordinary piggy bank. He is looking for the traditional piggy, a figurine piggy, made of ceramic, yup, the brittle one that needs to break when the amount of coins is full!

Hmmm...it's hard to find that one specially that we are on the comercial area. Hoping to find what he is looking for, I decided to mall hop just to find his need. And here are what I saw:


I found no piggy figurine. I found those! It's not a pig but rather other animal form. I don't exactly know if they were a cow or a monster!!

Look at this blue one. Another brittle and also like a figurine. Is this a monster with big eyes?!

Wow...a cute little piggy! Did I found now what I am looking for?


Oh my...not yet! This is not brittle, made of clay or ceramic, nor a figurine! It's a stuff toy piggy. It has a plastic inside surrounded by hairs or feathers. It's a stuff toy piggy! but it's such a cute one ha!


From SM Makati, to Toy Kingdom, to Department Stores, here now I go to Trinoma Mall! I roam around this mall looking for the one! And here I got. Piggy (but not a pig figure) bank. This time made of transparent plastic in the form of other animals!


Look at these, another made of transparent plastic. I found them inside the Land Mark Mall!

And lastly, look at the three pictures above! Still made of transparent plastic. They were so cute but they were not the one we are looking for!

Oh! The day is over! I found NO ONE! No one fits the requirements of my brother. Well, maybe in Divisoria there were many. But I have no time to go there!!!

Sad but happy, I go home. I took pictures of those cute little piggy banks to consult my brother if he like any! But as we expected, he like No one!

How the day it was! I'm so tired looking for no one! But I'm happy that I explored the different malls and surprisingly seen many cute creatures. Well, if you're the one to choose, which of the above did you like the most? Cast your votes! c",)
