We celebrated a birthday in the family recently and in one of the trade fairs I went to at Megamall, I found the cutest candles which spelled out HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I've seen other cute candles in the past: magic candles where the flame always lights up even after you try to put it out; musical candles which play a tune; candles with sparklers; crooked candles; and of course, the usual, colorful candles and/or number candles.

The goodies come in attractive orange and white boxes -- with the type of dessert just written on the main label -- in pentel.

One of the most stressful activities of preparing for the holidays is wrapping gifts. Don't get me wrong -- I actually enjoy wrapping gifts -- it's just finding the time and place for it that can increase my blood pressure.

This is the age range when you should probably stop giving clothes (if you can help it.) Not unless you do not mind seeing your gift set aside and not being given much attention.

In September of 2006, I received an early Christmas gift. It was quite a surprise and although I had chosen it for myself, it came wrapped in uncertainty, ribboned with doubt, and stamped with a little fear here and there.
