Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

Hi!

I know and I am truly convinced that I've been a very NICE girl for this year except of course when sometimes I would lose my patience on things and I would suddenly turn into SHREK. However, regardless of the inevitable transformation, my heart and thoughts remained pure. I know that it's too early for me to be writing you letter but I just want to make sure my letter gets to you. I just can imagine a number of kids sitting in front of their parents' laptop, typing some sweet ol' letter similar to mine. However, I think my letter is more urgent than theirs because first off, I'm older than them and second, I don't know if you'd understand but the urgency is like seeing a 'SALE' sign in front of Prima Donna or Celine and you just can't help yourself but say 'OMG! (imitating Kat's accent) The Shoes are On Sale, this is an Emergency!', it's that urgent and most importantly, I think that it would take a number of your elves to work on my wishlist. So, here's my Christmas Wishlist:

1. Canon DSLR (for me and Tim, I know how to share Santa *puppy eyes*) 

2. Canon DSLR (for Deejay, she'll love you for the rest of her life)

3. Canon DSLR (for Errol, he needs the cam for our Photography lessons) 

4. Canon DSLR (for Pepitow, he looks really good when he has a DSLR hanging over his neck) 

5. Canon DSLR (for Law, he can do all the tricks with the cam and he needs it when he teaches me how to take photos)

6. Canon DSLR (for Japsee and Len, they love taking pictures, that explains all)

7. Canon DSLR (for Kuya Mund, he needs it too, badly =) )

You see Santa, I'm not selfish, I'm a kind girl who's willing to share her blessings to everyone who needs the blessing. So please Santa, in case my brother (calling Mark Angelo Dihiansan) is your instrument for making my wish come true, then so be it, I would not contest your will. I hope to hear from you soon, maybe before December? =)

Thank you for reading my letter Santa.
