the little things

I've been thinking a lot lately. Wondered what are the things that would make me happy.

Well, mine are pretty simple. 

1. guitar

I swore when I was kid, my definition of success was getting on a stage, wearing nothing but a white tank top, faded jeans, used sneakers, rockin' guitar and a bad-ass attitude! And I'm going to sing my heart out and I would not give a care in the world!


2. sewing machine


I am no dressmaker. But I would love to be one. How cool could that be, that instead of purchasing goodies from the mall, you get to create your own stuffs, strut them and possibly sell 'em?




3. mannequin


And in lieu to my second happy goody, is a mannequin! I've always wanted to have one. I can't really elaborate as to why this makes me happy but seeing a fabric torso mannequin simply makes me go *sigh*. I'm all for anything vintage. Plus, it would be fun to have this baby around during photoshoots. Reliable proxy when I get all weary from dressing up and modeling clothes.

 
4. crayons


The smell of newly bought crayons brings me back to that certain place in my not so distant past wherein everything was within an arm's reach. When all you needed to do was pass your reports on time, ace quizzes and have fun while doing those. Also, this was my go 2 item when I was kid. If i happened to lose a pencil during class, what better way to resolve that dilemma than to use a black crayon as as my means of writing. lol


5. colored post its - tons of it


Not that I needed reminding, but I love the feel of getting all organized. That instead of thinking and cramming about what to do next, your post its are actually doing it for you. I mean, it would be a fantastic way to allow our brain to simply glide through things without really getting all worn up about planning and everything. 




And oh! This might be a little to early for a post about Christmas gifts but since we're on the "what makes you happy" note, I would just like to share these 2 gifts I wouldn't mind getting this Christmas:


a duster dress and toiletries!!! I have just realized that I don't have much of duster dresses at home and I end up rummaging my mother's closet for it. Furthermore, one of the things that I've been wanting to have is splurge myself to a once in a lifetime dream toiletry extravaganza. lol. What can I say, I am one hell of a weirdo! :)
