Gift Giving
i usually don't give gifts just because I have to. I try to do a lot of thinking on things like what occasion, who, what gift, how they might feel about it etc. and at times when i do too much thinking I end up running out of time before a party and not buying any gift... i wish I could gift cash/credit so they could get whatever they wanted. but buying a gift shows that time, effort and thoughts you put-in for dear ones. Occasions where people feel like it is mandate to gift something... coz u just can't go to a party and not take a gift. that makes me uncomfortable. hmph! Gift giving needs no special occasion or reason! it can be anytime one feels like expressing affection or feelings, A gift should be a reflection of little bit of the giver and the receiver. well i don't want to use this as the reason why i missed giving gifts on certain occasions in the past. i may have been too busy, lazy or couldn't afford what i liked to gift. i try to make it up though :)
