Top Five Things on My Christmas Wish List!
Are you listening Santa??
Ok, here it is. Can I have a drum roll please? I know I have been a good girl all year and have not done anything silly or bad. So here’s my humble Christmas Wish List:
1. Canon 500D: I have wanted for some time a pro cam that provides excellent image capture with HD video capture. Canon 500D is the first one that I find myself wanting. (^.^)
2. White iPhone 4: Even tho I’m pretty sure it’s delayed forever! I still want it. 八(＾□＾*)
3. Apple MacBook Pro: Because it tops the market in graphic processing, and because I want to use its browser to edit movies and photos (^o^)
4. Pet: Whether its a Golden Retriever dog or a Siberian cat, it doesn’t matter, a little (or big) pile of fur that I can hug, run and play with, and find beside me at all times. I know its a lot of work, but its worth it. (*≧▽≦)
5. A Plane Ticket To Japan: Because its my dream country. *Duh!* (*^▽^*)
- I’m loving this song!! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ *Dances*
