Christmas

In one of my ramblings, I mentioned how I was eyeing this camera but it didn't fall in my "urgent and important" quadrant at that particular time so I was foregoing the want of getting it until further notice.  But surprise, surprise I got it! YAY!  My sister J was so nice to give it to me as her Christmas present.  I already had a feeling that she was getting me the camera when few days before she told me that she already had a gift for me.  Then when I told her that I saw a Nikon camera on sale she made a comment about how she thought I wanted Lumix.  Well I wanted the Lumix but was just telling her that the Nikon was on sale.  Then, when I asked her what she wanted she said a bag, whose brand belonged in the same price range as the camera so that sealed it.  She also got me another gift which is sort of personal but one that I am now crossing off my list as well.  The camera was supposed to come with a 4GB SD card but they ran out so it didn't come yet with the shipment.  Good thing she had a spare 2GB which will do for now.  But I might get another one as buffer for our New Years Eve Party.  Oh my sister is so nice too that she charged the battery before she wrapped my present.  It was ready to use when I opened it.

I still have to get her her present.  It serves her for asking for a color that wont be available until spring or summer - white.  But shes going to get it for sure as soon as I find one.

It was so nice to see my two other siblings on webcam as my sister and I were getting ready last Christmas Eve.  Never mind that my sister and I got a good ribbing from our two younger siblings.  That's how it is.  Its so nice to be able to still each other that way even with the distance.  I don't think distance should be used anymore as an excuse not to be connected with people that we value in our life.  There are already so many avenues available around that bridges the gap between people.  I think it boils down to either one makes an effort or one doesn't.  Now in that case, no matter how much advanced technology is available if there's no effort then its futile, its pointless.
