This didn't really come with instructions. My liberal interpretation of this meme is that I try to put up my Christmas wish list and you try to make it come true. Ready? Go!
Material stuff:
1. Books always work for me... I still haven't read Books 9, 10 and 11 of Wheel of Time Series... I've always meant to read Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point,Blink (see update below) and his new one The Outliers.
2. Practical stuff works too... I don't like buying clothes, so if your fashionable and think you can rub some of your fashion sense on me, feel free to try.
3. I've been meaning to get a foldable bike.
"Big" stuff:
1. Gift of your time and your ears. I'd like to share someone really important to you. He's someone who gives me hope and assurance and I I'd like you to meet Him too. It's the perfect season too, after all it's His birthday.
2. If you want to give me a gift that's really a gift for you, just go ahead and sponsor a kid at World Vision. (If you're interested and want to ask questions, feel free to contact me.)
3. Discipline and drive. Honestly, if you have a suggestion as to how I'll manage to get these 2 things, I'll appreciate it.
Others:
1. Hmm... something really helpful like inside information. If you have any tips to give me, say Oscar dela Hoya is throwing the match, maybe a certain stock will hit the roof, or whatever... that would be most welcome.
2. Hard cash!
3. If you still can't choose from those listed above, easy choices include a new phone, a laptop (or a mini notebook hehe), a car, Wii, a job that pays 7 digits/annum (ok, so this one is pretty serious--if you want to pirate me, please, I'm willing.)
Super wishes:
1. Ability to fly (if you can grant this, forget the car but I still want the bike).
2. Ability to read minds (not hear them like in What Women Wants mind you--that would be maddening).
3. Charm... oh wait, I already have that, except I'm somehow only able to charm the young ones and the young once... can't figure out the ones in the middle.
Oh, and if your planning to get me something that's not on this list, just go ahead and surprise me. (WARNING: Pens, towels and mugs are not considered surprises.)
Hmm... let me see, let's see if we can tag these people out of their lethargy: Cams, Miss Elle, Kaycee, Runawat Cat, and Rian. To you 5, if you want to avoid receiving mugs and pens this Christmas, do this meme. Let that serve as my warning to you.
NB If you don't know me and came across this list and somehow think, "My, how cheeky! Maybe I should grant a wish or 2 (or 3)..." You're more then welcome to do so.
UPDATE: I managed to acquire a copy of blink in a bazaar I attended last Saturday for only P150... it's a little below half the price because it's pre-owned, but it's in very good condition! Yay! To anyone who's considering giving me a book as a gift? It doesn't even have to be new! I'm of the philosophy that it's the content of the book that matters, not the cover. Oh, and I'd been wishing I could get a hold of a copy of Freakonomics too hehe... That's all folks! (12.01.08)

hahaha!!! nice nice post!!!
remember i've been wanting to sponsor a kid in World Vision? I can't promise though that i will be there tomorrow signing up or something... but i'm sure, once i find time to breathe (from all the tambak na trabaho and grad school), World Vision is going to be included in the list of my detox stopover. hehehe...
so that's a gift for you and for me, and for Him since it is his birthday naman talaga... hehehe...
i like the idea of the folding bike!!!
and the ability to fly! hahahaha... parang si Nathan Petrelli, the flying man!!!
Cheeky NB

Ooh... Santa Claus?
Oooh, I'm suddenly inspired to write a similar post even if I'm not tagged.
I'm already a WV sponsor, so I hope letting you know it can count as a gift. :-)
Maybe if you can read minds you'll be able to charm everybody by being exactly what they want.
I think Arthur would like to have a free decent spa as a gift too.
