Successful:
2. Work
3. Men's watch
Sort of:
1. Books - I haven't bought books that I specifically wanted but I got books and e-books from my uncle.
2. Closet, wardrobe and room upgrade - Closet: X; Wardrobe: On the process; Room: X
3. Go or move out of the Philippines - On the process. I'm on Step 1, a very loooong Step 1.)
4. College of Saint Benilde/School of Fashion and the Arts - I didn't get in for SoFA's scholarship and they don't offer weekend schedules for degree courses soooo I will be enrolling in a different school HOPEFULLY before the year ends.
5. Shoes and bags - Shoes: YES! I actually bought more shoes than I usually do in a year. I happen to have bought recently one of my dream shoes! :) Bags: Not really.
(EDIT -19 December 2011)
6. Business - It wasn't in my plan at all. I just randomly thought of it. So far, my business is up and running for 3 months now. It's not very mainstream (yet?) and only my few closest friends, workmates and my mom's friends are my regular customers. It isn't bad so far. The money keeps on rolling and I'm having fun doing things. :D

Fail:
1. iTouch - changed my mind when they released iPad. Haven't bought iPad though.
(EDIT -19 December 2011: Last week, Mom bought a new sewing machine! :) Technically, it's really hers but we'll share, of course! For now. :D)
3. Bike - My mom said she would accompany me to buy one, I don't know what happened that we haven't bought it. I think I actually forgot that it was on my list until I reviewed it now. Haha!
4. Fujifilm INSTAX Mini - X
With that, I think I have a 50% success rate in my list, don't you think? :p
As you've noticed, when I make my Christmas wishlist, it's good until the next year because some of my wishes are not material things and cannot be achieved instantly. So now, I am referring to it also as my listography. :) Anyway, let's move on to my list for this latter part of the year until next year. I made my list less materialistic this time. :)
(I made the list not chronologically. I still included some from my former list.)
1. TRAVEL
I prefer travelling locally first (since they're cheaper and affordable for me) before I go internationally, unless my uncle will treat me again. Hee. :)
2. The following are pricey because I prefer custom-made furniture so it can fit just right to where I want it to be in my room. It'll take two years for all of these to appear in my room! My mom will not pay for all of these because of course, I am now working.
NEW CLOSET
Our house cannot accommodate even a small walk-in type a la Carrie Bradshaw (although that's what each in our family needs, haha!) sooooo I am going to maximize the space in my room by having a customized taller and narrower closet.
BOOKSHELF
I'm thinking of having two, a wall-mounted one on top of my bed and one taller and narrower standing on the other wall (in exchange of my wider and stouter one). I'll have the wall-mounted one made first.
DRESSER
Believe it or not, I don't have one. I didn't actually have one. Ever. I prefer a desk. Then fill it with things that are supposed to be in a dresser. I know. WEIRD.
NEW DESK
I don't like my computer table at all. I don't want a computer table. It was just given to me last year and I intend to move it to my brothers' room. Haha!
WARDROBE UPGRADE
I believe I need more 9-5-ish look, pieces that can go either casual or formal or from a morning event to an evening affair. More bags and shoes also. Although I might probably trade half of my supposedly expenses for this for my tuition fee in fashion school. :)
(Speaking of shoes, I bought myself 2 pairs of shoes for Christmas. :D Plus one set of outfit. And tons of accessories. And I got myself the first of three shots of cervical cancer vaccine. I know, "what happened to trading it for tuition?" Hahaha! Spare me, this is my first Christmas as an employed person so I rewarded myself a bit (?!). And hey, I need that vaccine! :) Hee.)

3. LEARN SEWING
I believe it coincides with my plan to go to fashion school next year so this is a needed and must-learn skill. So I can also have something new to write or answer when asked, "What are your talents?" Haha!
4. NEW YORK!!! :)
Yes, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of and where the girl who made the line, "You know you love me," famous is hiding. :)
There's no place else but New York.
I believe I have just moved on to step 2 in processing of my papers. :)
I am hoping it will happen late 2012 or early 2013. :)
5. FASHION INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Alleluia!!! I'm just deciding on when to enroll. :) Definitely early 2012. :)
6. REUNITE WITH BOOKS
After graduation from college, I bought gazillion of books. I don't know why I only finished reading just one. I haven't even reached halfway as for some of the books I tried to read. Pffffft. It's scary to think that I might be developing that trait when you hoard books just for the heck of it. AAAAACK! Noooooo! Soooooooo I thought of listing books to read per month. I will post the list once I have divided my unread books accordingly per month and will try to update you also of its 'progress.'. :)

7. IPAD. OR ITOUCH. OR...
I said earlier that I changed my mind. Now, I'm thinking again. HAHAHA. I'm both a music lover and net surfer so both are okay with me. I believe they almost have the same features. Ipad just have a bigger and wider screen; iTouch is smaller and more portable. Yeah, I'm confused. Portability vs more friendly to my four-eyes and fingers and requires less zooming and less scrolling movement.
8. TIME MANAGEMENT
JUST BECAUSE I SUCK AT IT. Need to explain more? Haha!
I love my time and I don't want anyone messing with my time by hustling me all the time! Yet sometimes, I waste more than I have and need to and I compromise others' time -- especially my friends -- who eventually got used to waiting for me. Hee.
9. BUSINESS GROWTH
I started my business early September, a before my birthday. As I've stated earlier, money keeps on rolling and I'm having fun doing things. It makes me happy and I feel a sense of appreciation when I see my customers wearing the accessories that I make. I don't have much customers yet but I wish to have a bit more by this year. :)
10. MORE EVENTS TO GO TO (AND EXPERIENCES TO EXPERIENCE)
Well, it's a new year so cheers to new events and experiences! Cheers to a new journey! Cheers to a better year ahead!
(In the photo above, there's a Coldplay and Madonna photo. Yes, IF EVER THEY ARE COMING TO MANILA, I INTEND TO GOOOOOOO. But so far, the news of Coldplay coming to Manila was pure hoax. How cruel! Haha! As for the Madonna event, I was just told by a friend. If ever this is a hoax as well, God bless the person who spreads news like this! HAHAHA!)
11. EXERCISE!
To be healthy, duh? And vanity purposes! Would it be so wrong to wish for a more better body? No, of course not. Haha!
12. GOOD HEALTH FOR ME, FAMILY AND FRIENDS
I have always said that I prefer living a simple life with just enough of everything or if luckier, with a little amount of excess to spare for luxury, if that would mean a healthier family and friends around me. We all know the saying, "To whom much is given, much is expected."
13. ALWAYS CHOOSE HAPPINESS
I think I tend to be bipolar-ish (Why on earth am I self-diagnosing myself publicly? Hahahaha!). When I'm sad, I tend to be suuuuuuperrrrr sad that I keep on rethinking things, what went wrong, and more, until I grow tired. Then I become a bitch. HAHAHAHAHA! Kidding. Well, this only happens when I'm heartbroken.
Apart from that, I'm only sad when I'm disappointed or when I lost a love one and that does not happen everyday so I have a lot of happiness here in me. :D
14. MORE BLESSINGS FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
No explanation needed. :D
I have a lot to be thankful for this year 2011 (Hmm, I think it'll be a good entry to make. Haha!) so I just wish the blessing will just keep on coming. THANK YOU, GOOOOOD! :)
Basically, that's just it. :)
Now, what's yours Christmas wishlist and things to do for 2012?
