My birthday is almost here …. Alleluia!! I always have a birthday wish list every year, and 2014 will not be different. Oh, my birthday is on January 14th … cause I know you must be wondering. Apart from working on making January 14th a global holiday – of course! – I’m also working on acquiring the following items. I usually have things that I don’t even know if I will be able to get, like a Range Rover or a house in Lekki (even though I’ve never been to Lekki). This time, I’m putting things that I actually want and intend to own – one way or another.<\/p>\n

My list is in no particular order:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Romance by Ralph Lauren ($95 from Macy’s<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Romance<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve wanted this perfume for sooo long, and every time I go to buy a perfume, I get something else. Well, not anymore! I’m definitely getting it in 2014.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Sony VAIO ($1,1499.99 from Best Buy<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sony-VAIO\"<\/a>

I am currently on my second Sony VAIO laptop, and we work so well together. A laptop is a blogger’s best friend. How else wil I do my work? So I’m ready for a new Sony VAIO computer, and this is the one I love. This is love. Pure love.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Samsung Galaxy S 4 (not yet out)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a>

I have no idea when the Samsung Galaxy S 5 phone will come out or what it will look like when it does come out, but I love it already, and I definitely want it already. Could this be love? I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S 3, so you know it’s definitely time to upgrade. I searched the internet, and this picture is what the Samsung Galaxy S 5 is rumored to look like. Doesn’t matter to me. I loved it before I saw a rumored picture.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Burberry watch ($1,395 from Macy’s<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a>

It’s my first Burberry watch, and I want it. Do I need to explain more? And yes, it’s men’s watch. I have a thing for men’s watches. Women’s watches are so ugh.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Citizen watch ($337.50 from Macy’s<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a>

And this Citizen watch got my attention at first view, so that can only mean one thing: it belongs to me. I’m working towards it!<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0A wardrobe makeover:<\/strong> Remember I told you about my fashion disaster<\/strong><\/a>? Well, what I need is to buy new clothes and shoes and get rid of some that I already have.<\/p>\n

My wish list for this year’s birthday<\/strong><\/a> only had 5 items on it: A Dodge Charger, a Nikon D3200, a bottle of Ange ou D\u00e9mon perfume, a set of makeup brushes from Lancom\u00e9, an iPod Touch, and a Blackberry. Out of these 5 items, I got 3 — technically. When I had the chance to pick a new car, I went with a 2014 Kia Forte<\/strong><\/a>, instead of the Dodge Charger. I got the exact camera on my list in January, right before I went to the White House<\/strong><\/a>. When I went to get the perfume, I changed my mind and got a different perfume from Lancome (don’t remember the name now, and I don’t feel like looking). I didn’t get the Lancome brushes because they never went on sale, and I refused to pay $60 for makeup brushes. As for the iPod and the Blackberry, I changed my mind.<\/p>\n
