Last Friday of the month: Mom-Finds / Shopping / Gifts
I have a list of "wants" in my head right now that I don't know which one I would like to have first. Oops, I got a bag na pala, heehee. But I am wishing for more, and most are the same as what my friends want too! =) Christmas is the perfect season(excuse) to indulge, to reward ourselves, and at the same time, extend generosity and charity as well. It's really a time to be merry. For today, instead of featuring a shopping find, I thought of sharing what my fellow moms are wishing for this holiday season. None of that world peace kind of wish, okay?! Let's all be frivolous, at least for this feature. To make it more interesting, I only asked friends who are in the 40 and above age bracket to give me their top 3 wishes.
Unofficially (in my opinion), when a woman hits 40, eh tita ka na! Tita (auntie) is a term of endearment and how Pinoys respectfully address their aunts and lady friends of their parents, and even moms of their friends. I can't deny it, I'm officially a full-fledged tita, whether I like it or not. One of my wishes is to not be called a tita, hahahaha!

I super love that banner artwork from the Prada website here, and it looks like a group of titas on a catwalk, kaya bagay sa topic today. =)
So, ano ba ang wish ng mga titas this Christmas?

MONEY / NEW HOUSE
A few wished for more money. Well, who doesn't want that, right? =) The hardworking and business-savvy titas want more money for investments. They want to retire early!
The biggest wish of them all was from the beach babe tita who wants to have her own house in Boracay.

To the husbands, you still have time to fulfill any of the mama titas' wants and wishes. Baka maka-chamba sa Black Friday sale, habol pa! Heehee...
Do you have the same wishes as the titas? I know our wants have evolved over the years. Nag mature na kami, hahahaha! Now I wonder what the 30-and-below age group wants for Christmas?
Thanks to Eliza, Jen, Jenny, Melanie, Michelle, Rone, Sharon, Tina, and Yas for sharing your wish list. Let's channel our dreams and apply the law of attraction. Remember, you attract what you think. Good vibes to all! I hope all our wishes come true this Christmas, or in the coming new year! =)
