REAL FRIENDS GIVE GIFTS ON BIRTHDAYS
Dear friends,
No, I’m not pressuring you to give me a gift on my birthday, which by the way is next week, the 19th.
But just for this month, I subscribe to the most reliable test of friendship. See the title…
Here is my birthday wishlist:
1. Anything orange
2. An internet subscription
3. A TV rack
4. A new shirt, preferrably black or orange
5. Flowers, again preferrably orange but pink will do
6. An Avril Lavigne CD
7. A bottle of wine (’wag na gin ha or beer, common)
8. Dibidi, dibidi, dibidi special mention: the latest season of house, prison break, lost, grey’s anatomy, and the new ones
9. Bed sheet, preferrably orange or pink
10. A new pair of sneakers
11. A bag of snickers (para rhyme sa taas)
12. The big, big toblerone
13. Flipflops (accepts japeyk ones)
14. A wristwatch
15. But nothing beats a hot, brainy date preferrably male
Be genies in a bottle or lamp or whatever.
I’m growing old. You should grow generous.
Hoping for your kind generosity,
Mary Antonette A. Estoperes
