Scrooge-y Christmas



Here's an interesting paper I read yesterday. No I am not weird, this thing just pops out of nowhere and I happened to not have anything else better to do. No, dammit, I am not a nerd.

Well OK maybe a little bit. On a purely self justification reasons, being a nerd is not a bad thing. Nerd is the new cool. Ha!

Such a thing you wouldnt expect to hear from an economist, for long been thought as selfish, benefit minded etc. It is true and I completely agree that a gift shouldnt be lavish in order for it to be remembered. Most of the times the value that the receiver put on the present is much less compared to the cost the buyer had to pay for it. Gifts should instead be thoughtful, or better yet something that you made yourself. Something you wouldnt expect coming from an economist.

I am a present person. I love presents. I especially love wrapping them. Eventhough I am lacking any giftwrapping skills thereof. I had to glue the ribbons to the stupid box just to make it stay muaha (which explains why the ribbon is both pink and red (A) ). Creativity beats natural gifts, I'm telling ya.

Moreover, I love receiving them (unshameful confession). I love love love the feeling when you pulled the ribbon slowly with building anticipation of knowing what could it possibly be. Could it be a doll? A CD? Or quite often now, your friend's idea of a prank, to give you some weird sex-related object.

No it's not funny. My friends are perverts. Sometimes I am tempted to give them a soap as a present to wash their dirty brains.

Also today...


...Drumrolls...

...My sister's birthday!!!! HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY, CACA!!! This calls for celebration (and presents :) ), when I get home :) :) :) Wishing you a great one!
