My darlings...

I'm never a fan of gifts. Some of you'd probably start to remove your shoes and throw them to me as I am saying this. But few friends who know me very well understand my reason behind this statement.

I'm a practical person, all right down to gifts. My most feared gifts are the ones which collects dust 'in display' and do not serve my practical needs. I thank you all my friends that none of you has yet to give me a soft toy because I'm sorry to tell you that, if you would, it'd end up in a hospital or orphanage in the hands of a child who appreciates it even more than I do.

Yet deep inside me, as a woman, I yearned of gifts that spells of my certain taste. Yes, I may not be of well-to-do family and I am not that lucky to be able to afford real, sophisticated and practical items.

So saying that, I am deeply touched, almost to the point of tears, when I received my graduation-cum-birthday gifts recently. These are the very few luxurious items that can make me fly up in disbelief and surprise... *sighs in adoration*

To the friends who bought these as my gifts, I really thank you all so much. It's not in the quality of these luxury items that touched my heart, but the thought and work you all have put in to research and observe my taste and style in those items, all for the reason to give me the best gifts you know I'd truly appreciate...

Thank you again.
I'll remember you all each time I use them...
