Making a list (and checking it twice)

twenty days to go till i fly home from christmas! and i am just raring to go! being on probation (well technically) at work, i have a limited number of leaves... which means i have only december 24th to january 1 to cram in all of the things on my holiday to-do list!

• spend time with mommy (hmm paano kaya 'to with all the stuff i wanna do)
• omygod... UKAY UKAY!!!!!
  
• stock up on fresca homemade scents at the legaspi market... come to think of it, a visit to the salcedo market might be fun too
  
• eat at bellini's and schlep around cubao x
  
• chocolate buffet with the kiddies at manila pen
• see my beloved acs again! but i am so bummed that i'm not going to hear them sing or get to sing with them at all this year!!!
• meet mimi's fiance, the famous pete
  
• visit friends at gma and eat chicken inasal at jt's manukan on sgt esguerra after
  
• eat bibingka at via mare
• eat corned beef sinigang at sentro
• eat at cyma (or manos greek taverna)
  
• celebrate our first year wedding anniversary (one year already! time does fly when you're having fun!) in tagaytay -- i hope t house or the boutique still has an available room for us though
  
• buy cinnamon rolls and stock up on kapeng barako at bag of beans
  
• get a cheap manicure, pedicure and color job at azta on katipunan
  
• buy tees and funky christmas gifts for my officemates (i know, very late, but hey -- bulk christmas shopping at home will be so much cheaper) at team manila
• check out the shoes at janylin and landmark
• stock up on rogue, preview and cheap books at national bookstore (i read somewhere that the domino book of decorating sells for only Php950!)

i know, it's all shopping and eating -- and i'm supposed to be in a country where the shopping and eating is among the best in the world. but hell. nothing like manila.

now, the only thing i'm wondering is: this list really it? i could have sworn it was so much longer in my head....
