Birthday/Christmas Wish list

Hello everyone!

So my birthday is coming up on November 27th, and I'll be turning the oh so sinful 21.  I'm excited for my birthday this year, because I plan on just grabbing dinner with some of my close friends, and then having a fancy shmancy dinner with my boyfriend.  My 20th birthday last year was a lot of fun, my boyfriend and I went to Fenton's creamery in Oakland.  Since it was a Sunday, a majority of my day was spent at church, but I was able to be with some friends at my favorite Japanese restaurant Hanamaru, in Sunnyvale..

Here are some pics from last year:












So now that I am going to be the big bad age of 21, what drinks do you recommend for me to have for my birthday? I'm not a drinker whatsoever, but I guess this is a pretty fun occasion now that I can order stuff for myself.


So now on to my wishlist: I am pretty happy with the material things I have in my life, I don't really yearn for anything, except for one thing, to travel.  From my first post, I stated that I love to travel, and next year there are a lot of opportunity to do so, I just don't have the funds.. so instead of bottles of alcohol, or random material presents, which I do appreciate, I would prefer any kind of gift to be a monetary donation for my upcoming trips for 2013.

What are those trips?

My number one priority right now, is to be able to chaperone for the Starfire Singers Overseas Tour.  Next year, they will be going to the UK, and it is quite a hefty price tag.  I was once in this group, and I made a commitment to myself that I would chaperone the first year I was eligible.  I love this group with all of my heart, and I want to see the other side of the trip as being a chaperone.

My second trip, is to return back to Cambodia in March.  This is a little less pricey compared to the UK trip, but it is a second priority.  A small group I am in that focuses on Human Trafficking is headed to Cambodia to seek justice, which is something that I want to do.  This trip will definitely have a different feeling compared to my previous trip to Cambodia with my boyfriend.  I know it will be very enriching.

Oh, and an iPad mini would be fun too.. but I can deal without :)

Since my birthday is so close to Christmas, this is also my Christmas wishlist! I am thankful that these opportunities are presented to me, and hopefully I will be able to go.  I will also have some fundraising opportunities so I am able to go on these trips, so stay tuned (ahem clothes sale!) 

Bye for now
