"Monito" or "monita" refers to the person you are exchanging your gift with during yuletide season.
This morning, we had our office christmas party held. it was fun, really. The games, production numbers/ intermission, fellowship with the family... it was an awesome party and I was quite pleased with it. Not until our Exchange Gift segment.
I gave my gift to an officemate. his wish on our wishlist board says he wanted a bluetooth speaker, so I did went to the mall and find a nice, durable bt speaker for him. However, when it was time for me to receive my gift, I was dumbfounded. I cannot imagine this gift. 馃槀
This is how it was when given to me. Lovely! 馃槀
And when I opened that brown bag, I saw a box covered by a cheap blue plastic bag, the ones where fish are placed in markets.
To add to my disappointment, the receipt of the gift (which happens to be a bluetooth speaker also) was still there! it indicates the price which was really below the price we agreed on our gifts.
Oh, wow. I thought it was a prank. But it was not. I had a mix of feelings. Shock, disbelief, sorta disappointment and still a bit of weird kind of fun??? I was laughing hard and so were my officemates. but I also felt bad in a way.
Anyway. On my years of existence and attendance in christmas parties, this, so far, is the most unbelievable monito I had.
ps. my monito is a rich kid. so how is that? 馃榿
