crappy gift vs. thoughtful gift

i strongly believe that in giving gift,it's the thought that matter.

thus, to me, the gift that I receive is exactly show how the giver feel about me,

and for me to do the same too,

there's a saying "if you have nothing good to say,

better not say anything at all"

same goes to giving gift...

it does not mean that(to me that is), it's good enough that

people give me gift,

so,

if you have nothing good to give,

better not give anything at all...

i dont mind not receiving any gift,

rather than receiving

a crappy gift...

which means

a gift that clearly stated (underneath of off the wrapping and smile) that

"this gift, i dont want it, so i am giving it to you"

dont get me wrong,

i dont expect big, heavy, expansive gift,

because sometimes, good thing comes in small packages too,

it's not that i am ungrateful,

but what to be grateful for???

i'm pissed and a bit disappointed

it just that, come on, dont give me 'Rejected" stuff...

better not give me anything at all..

"orang memberi, kite merasa"

"Receiving a gift is one of the most gratifying feelings in the world; the delight felt is not directly from receiving an object, or thing of value. A gift is far more important than that, as you are in fact receiving something else, something far more precious than any material possession. Love - it cannot be bought, stolen or demanded but is something that is given freely from the heart to those we adore most…"

-gift come from the heart, not from the hip pocket-
