It is sad that Christmas has become a chance for people to value material things than the true meaning of the season it represents. Let us not forgot why we are even celebrating it. Anyhow, I am still making my wish list. ;)
1. Panini maker...sure would love one...really do... :)
2. laptop...I'd like to trade my desktop for a handy dandy laptop...(Santa are you getting this? I've been a good girl. you see...)
3. tv...(do i have to explain? im a self confessed couch potato)
4. ipod--- to replace the one that got stolen...huhuhu
5. nike water bottle...(i just wanted it)
6. bling (dear are you reading this?)
still got more...to be updated...:)
Most importantly, all I want for Christmas is having my family close to me, all healthy and happy. :)

Fishing 101 :)
Went fishing a few months back, just had the chance to blog again though. When I was young, I've gone fishing but kinda just watched as my older sibs and cousins do it. So technically, it was my first fishing trip and got the best lesson from my friend's dad.
The real story was a week before the scheduled fishing trip, we were just hanging out at our friend's house, the usual Saturday poker night, when our friend's dad suggested that we should all go with him fishing. Learn a new hobby and be one with nature. We all looked at each, waiting what to say, smiled and feeling we have no other choice...we agreed, so the following week, fishing it is!

I enjoyed the fishing a lot, though I plan to dress appropriately next time. Shorts and a shirt sure is cool but the sun's rays tend to be a little harsh on the skin...I figured clam digger pants and a fishing hat is a must next time. :)
Things I learned:
- It takes great patience to catch a fish. It's not an instant thing. Usually we just end up feeding them the lures but not actually catching them. :)
- as I have mentioned above, dress to fish...:)
- pick a good spot, have a comfy chair to sit and wait til they bite.:)
- Never give up after a few unsuccessful attempts... :) just like in life...
Interested in a detailed lesson, I found out this wonderful site all about fishing...so take me fishing :)
