2010 – It’s the first year I got a job without having to spend my earnings on college tuition so it’s the first year I actually gave gifts for Christmas! :p
Went on a shopping spree at Fully Booked!
LADY GAGA by Johnny Morgan for my best gay friend Nyko
The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman for my stylist friend Adrianne!
Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever for my little sister Clara
Scott Pilgrim‘s Precious Little Boxset for my little brother Arkin
Jay’z Decoded for my younger brother Elmo
Geek Dad for my uncle Mark who’s about to have his first baby with his wife
Archie Marries… for my ate Unna
Then I got an iPad for my sister Maxene who always talks about wanting to get one but never does haha (thanks to KC Montero and Game Stop!)
I only got her the 16gb wifi one (not 3G w microsim) because she just recently got a Globe MyFi which works perfectly with it. Comes out cheaper too ;)
Got my brother Frank a Maschine from The Music Source in Alimall (thanks to Dwayne!)
We all chipped in to get our mom these Jimmy Choo flats
It’s not about the gifts but they sure make Christmas exciting! I couldn’t wait to see their faces, I’m happy they all loved what they got!<3
Here are more pictures from Christmas eve and Christmas day with the family! Enjoy :)
Saabscribe!!
Happy Holidays Saab! :)
Awesome gifts! Haha books are the best things to give, forever. I think I will be the aunt who gives books, despite the recipient’s lack of inclination towards reading, AKA the aunt whose gifts everyone does not look forward to getting. Haha.
Just also wanted to say how much I admire~ you for paying your way through school. So random, but I never knew that, so I was surprised and awed and amazed, etc. :)
BOOKS ARE AWESOME!!! Just my last two years but thank you, Carina! :”>
So thoughtful! (:
Gift mo po sa kanila? lucky!
What did you get for Julius? :)

You’re the coolest person ever! Books are really nice to give. You just gave me an idea. ;) Thank you and have a Happy Holidays! (Thou I’m sure you always have.) Keep smiling! :)
Nice shoes Saab! I love :)
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Saab! :) Have a blessed new year.
Buti naman natahimik na si “epiphany”. haha
Love you, Saab! :)
Super great gifts! I am the only person I know who asks for books as gifts hehe. I wish I had the finances to give them, too! Someday, someday. Anyway, I was really distracted with the “Archie Marries..” book. My heart skipped a beat! Haha. I had to Google it, to find out what really happened. :p Merry Christmas, Saab! :)
Books will always have a special place in my ♥ All the Eureka moments originated from reading books. You’re so good to your family, not by giving all of them gifts but for putting a lot of thought to your gifts :) You’re right. Gifts sure do make the holidays exciting but it’s more meaningful when you’re with family :) They do look like they enjoyed your gifts! Belated Happy Christmas & Advance Happy New Year!
Love the shoes! Where did (whoever gave you) get them?
My mom got it online, I’ll search for the link :)
aww.. if I’m not mistaken those are Jeffrey Campbell’s MR. MAN shoes. i liked it as well kaso sold out na sa Solestruck nung time na naghahanap ako. good for you!
