10 Things You Want, but Wouldn’t Buy for Yourself

Actually I'm not a shoppaholic kind and I'm very smart in buying things for myself, I don't buy what I don't need and what I can't afford:-).

The things that I want but wouldn't buy it for myself are:

1. Canon D-SLR Camera
   
2. Ipod
3. A new car 'coz I can settle for pre-owned car much cheaper and less dangerous to handle
   
4. A new video camera
5. Laptop - not for now, maybe next year
   
6. Complete kitchen showcase - very expensive for me though I love it!
7. Vacation house in Tagaytay, I love the place but it's not practical for me to own property there when I can only visit it quarterly. Maybe I'll just built a vacation house in my hometown in Laguna because the lot is ready for anything that we want to do.
   
8. A piano - well not for mysef but for my kids in the next few years.
9. High technology appliances that's too expensive for my lifestyle.
10. High-end mobile phone that costs like a branded laptop, I wouldn't buy it because it's not safe to carry it around.

10 Traits You Look for in a Romantic Interest

This week's theme is very interesting, let's see what I have in answer, I'm already married but when I'm still single these are the traits that I would like my partner in life to be, hubby is 95% fitted :-)

1. A born-again christian, I want our married life to be centered to God, a man with a life devoted to serving God will create a home with kids close to God.
   
2. Good perspective in life - every man should have this to be the head of the family
   
3. Thoughtful, understanding, loving at all times
   
4. Good sense of humor, someone who will make me laugh with our kids, that's near to looking at the bright side of life
   
5. Sense of responsibility in everything, hardworking will fall into this category
   
6. Honest & trustworthy
   
7. Someone who will love me without boundaries
   
8. Intelligent but not necessarily academically intelligent
   
9. A man with maturity and integrity, someone you can depend upon
   
10. Must love music like I do, someone who can sing to me when I'm down
