What do you want for your birthday?

Normally, when presented with this question, my mind was flooded with all the things that I really want.

An iPod Touch would make a perfect present, wouldn't it?

I won't be greedy, just the 8GB one would be enough

Or perhaps, a copy Jonas Brothers first album "It's About Time" from the United States?

Surely, it wouldn't be too much? I am a fan! 
or, a new set of speakers for my Nikki? Preferably white. :D 

or, a  huge photo album (empty or filled a little) - the one where it's adhesive instead of the pocket ones. 

or, the thingy which enable me to play songs in a pendrive that I can put in my car. 

or, a digital camera, that would be nice. :D 

Basically, when the question "What do you want?" came up, there's tons of things I want. I mean, who would turn down the opportunity? People are going to give it to me for free, I'm certainly not complaining. Bring on the gifts, I'll say. 

But then, when I thought more about it, I realized I don't really need any of those things. 

The iPod Touch? Yes, it would be really cool if I can have it (the games I could play!), but realistically, I already have an iPod Nano (Izzy), so... I don't exactly need the iPod Touch. Goodbye, my Ivy (yes, I already named it)

The Jonas Brothers album? Once again, it would be super awesome if I actually have the hard copy of the album, but I won't die if I didn't have it either. I mean, I muat turun-ed the songs already anyway. 

The speakers? Again, not a necessity. Even though there's a bit of a problem with my current speakers here and there, they are still working well. It's not like my room's a freaking cinema that needs awesome sound system, kan?

The photo album? Though it might be nice to be able to flip through the pages of picture, but to think about it in a deeper level, it's not exactly economically wise to print out the pictures, isn't it? Oh well, that's for me to worry about. 

Next, the thingy that plays songs from pendrive in my car. OK, maybe this could be considered as a potential present guys! :D 

A digital camera? Again, it would be awesome to be able to own my personal camera. But then again, I don't need it. Really, what will its function be? For me to camwhore? Well, I have my Nikki and Notty for that, I don't need Cammie (yes, I named it again!). 

This entry might come off as a post that is hinting at what to get for my birthday (when I re-read what I've written), but it really isn't. I just want to share what I thought about this matter. Maybe I've grown up a little bit, or maybe it's the aftereffect of the talk with my brother (another story altogether), but I realize all of those are nothing compared to a happy and contented life. 

Instead of wasting money on what I want and not need, perhaps I could just spend more time with my mom, family and friends. Be a good daughter and not worry my mom. I think that's the best present I could give myself. (Aww, sappy. Alright, none of this in the future, I promise)
