Blog EntryMy Birthday Gift for MyselfApr 9, '08 3:15 AM
for everyone
Buying myself a birthday or Christmas gift is something I don’t often practice. Once in a while I would but I rather have a night of good fun with friends than expect material items. Some of the memorable gifts I got from my wife and family over the years were a 25” Flat Screen TV, a desknote laptop, a 2GB Nano, a bullbar and bumper set with fog lamps for my old Suzuki Vitara, Doc Marten boots, acoustic guitars, Heavy steel band wristwatches from either Guess, Fossil or Swatch. Friends on the other hand knew I’m such a shallow guy to please so I usually get bottles of booze, vintage style rock shirts or old school T-shirts, a collectible toy, a good book, homemade rum raisin ice cream (Annie!)…and the list goes on.

 

For myself I have bought an electric guitar for my 38th birthday, a Norton motorcycle riding jacket for my 34th, a Casio Tri-Sensor G-Shock watch for my 29th and a Marui Die Cast blowback replica of James Bond’s Walther PPK for my 24th.That’s about it.


This year I’m turning 41. I had no plans in spending on any gifts except celebrating it with friends at Fandom Café .Until I saw this and I told myself its about fuckin'time. This will set me back around PHP 9K. But it will be a 9K that's very well spent.

 

 Were you expecting something else?

hahahaha! go for it, Jon!
funny that we rarely get ourselves anything, somehow I have no guilt spending on stuff for my daughter, but I can't bring myself to buy the things I like/want/need outside of food anyway :)

But for your 41st birthday...hey, you're SO worth it!

21 Bonds in there, Jon?

Maybe some day I'll have Bond's Aston Martin. Or have someone take me to the beach in one!

Happy Birthday Jon! Anabel are you going?

Ursula Andress portrayed Honey Rider in Dr.No.Yup that shot of her coming out of the water in a bikini and a bayonet was reprised as a homage by Halle Berry in Die Another Day.
