Afternoon was spent searching for a gift for my 9-year old niece. This time I’ve decided not to buy toys like dolls, musical instruments or cooking utensils.

When I was at her age,  I remember quitting toys like that in exchange of beautiful notebooks, stationery, stickers and slum book.

I had thoughts of grabbing Hanna Montana stuff mags and stickers…but ugh, wag na. I don’t like my niece to be one of her avid fans.

So I bought an autograph semi-hardbound book with a cute box. I also signed the second section with my info before I’ll wrap it. While signing, I can’t help but laugh. Who is your crush. Define love. Most embarrassing moment. Etc.

It’s weird tho that until today – I still find it hard to answer the questions like: Motto, Ambition and Greatest Achievement :p

Ah, gone are the childhood days.

Worries then only includes toys, food, playmate, school assignment, grades and some attention.

Now, major concerns includes career, stability, general success, low term life insurance rates online, house and savings for future,
