My i-WANT List
Saturday, January 26th, 20081. Footless socks
It doesn’t need to be Prada which inspired this interest (but if it’s for free, why not?), though I have serious doubts about finding them even if I wanted to, because they’re sold out everywhere. I wish H&M would produce them. And yes, I am big on socks lately. Don’t ask me why because I have nothing to say except I dont know.
2. The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath (edited by Karen V. Kukil)
I am crazy about Sylvia Plath’s writings — most especially her personal letters and journals — in the same way that she was crazy about death and dying. I think I am too, about dying, sometimes. But that’s beside the point.
3. DVD copy of Chungking Express
I’ve been wanting to see this forever, but it’s also taking me forever to find a copy. I can’t find any here. I think Hong Kong is the place. But my brother wasn’t able to get one, either. Maybe it’s just him and his laziness.
4. D&G’s Light Blue scent
The brother got this for mom last Christmas. I loved it so much I kept making calls home, reminding her that if she didn’t like the scent, she could always have it transported back here. She did — like it I mean.
Update: I just found out that this is the favorite scent of almost everyone I know. Because I don’t like to smell like everyone else, I change my mind about loving it.
5. Wedge boots
Because I like to look tall, and not worry about getting my heels stuck in the escalator, or fear for my ankles (cankles to be honest) when I’m making that mad dash towards the bus.
6. New pair of specs
Sure, I can continue using my age-old Miss Tapia (pun quite intended) glasses till they fall apart because I only wear them at home, and very rarely at that. But as the term "old maid" is meant to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, the most I can do — and hope — is to not look the part.
7. Magic frock
I need it to do super, super wonders for a non-super size number. In short, I must fit into a size 4 without any unsightly bulge, and be able to breathe properly. Vanity sizing it is!
