A Surprise Christmas Gift from Japan

12.26.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

I am a big, big fan of Hello Kitty and every year I get a Hello Kitty item as Christmas gift – coin purses, mugs, face towel and even a car bobble head with Hello Kitty’s head moving sideways (this freaks me out, though).

But this year, I got really special Hello Kitty gifts that came all the way from Japan!  W@Wie couple Marjorie and Atsushi of On Chocolate Hill gave me these cute and very functional Hello Kitty items:

The gifts couldn’t come at a better time when I’m waiting for someone to give me a desk calendar to use next year (which is just a few days away!).   This one is not only perfect for my new office, but the vibrant colors of Hello Kitty’s different kimonos will add life to my monochrome-colored office cubicle.   It will also help me think creatively  =)    The paper tape, on the other hand, put a smile on my face because I used to buy knock-off Hello Kitty paper tapes at Divisoria because I can’t find one at Gift Gate hehe!   I remember using it sparingly because it’s really hard to find.  I used the paper tape only to seal the special letters I wrote using, what else, but a Hello Kitty stationery!

Thank you so much, Marjorie and Atsushi for the very thoughtful Christmas gift  =)  You made this grown-up Hello Kitty fan extra happy this Christmas  =)

どうもありがとうございました…

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
