Why 8? meme

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

I got this tag from an officemate and close friend Ronald and I was really confuse on how to answer this meme, bakit 8?, eight ng ano? ngayon kung eight bakit pala? so I went tru some blog posts in order to understand…

Anyway, I am writing this meme about Why eight (8)? dahil…

Que Otcho?!

Eight is related to my birthday, I was born on the eight month and Although I’m a Catholic, I do not do “sign of the cross” [all the time only sometimes] when I pray because it was written in the Bible “when you pray, do not let anyone know you are praying”, nobody knows I’m already praying example before eating and after eating.

I grew up with 7 male cousins and one brother (sa bahay ni Lola) and that was the reason I’m more comfortable being with male friends than females [I developed my masculine side?] ganon

I become a lady when I was 17 (almost 18, I honestly look like 12-y/o on my 18th birthday) that explains why I look so young now

I’m a degree holder but only had one graduation march, because I stopped elementary on Grade 5, I have no formal studies, but selfstudy and (PEPT Exam in DepEd) got me accelerated straight to college

While in college, I’m always the leader in group (Y_Y) I was even named “the Source” kapoy kaayo ai but anyway it was fun. I’m also the player in chess women division in every CT Festival and luckily in Debate our team (me as the prime minister) Assoc. of Computer Technology Students (ACTS) was the champion at CT festival 2006-2007, at swerte rin… we manage to be the First runner up in USeP 2006-2007 Intrams.

I don’t want to get too attached with female close friends, (one of my few changes this year due to experiences at the office) because of the Lady in night shift whom I expected to be a true friend but we ended up not good… and another early this year with one lady seatmate whom I thought “she was my close best friend” then it ended up she hated me for things I didn’t do (but if she only knew it was brought up because of her actions.) In return those incident always reminds me if ever I get closer to any lady I will detached and pull off. (O-A man talaga minsan kami mga babae, some ladies exaggerate little things)

I love music, and music loves me too (^_^) I can easily learn how to play musical instruments… like play classical music in piano, romantic guitar plucking and go along playing with other instruments using harmonica. I can also sing but only with limited group of people… (to some pioneering employees they heard me sang in our first team building in karaoke) I do not show off my talents right away, due to stage fright, my fingers and voice will not work well (Y_Y)

I love arts and design, this gave me the opportunity to paint using water color or oil painting, I have my set of brushes and art works at home, I usually paint nature in landscape just using the picture in my mind from dreams without copying, (mas madali sa akin kung may subject if ever I’m with nature) nobody taught me I just develope it. I also do crosstitching and crochets.

Ayan natapos narin whew!
I don’t need to tag anybody parang na tagged na tanan akong blogroll bah (^_^)

Tuesday Tags: Six Quirky Things About Me

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I was tagged by my new friend Anna of the Fuschia Revolver. I think I did a similar meme years ago but I do not mind doing this again.

The Rules

* Link to the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules.
* Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
* Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
* Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment to let them know that they’ve been tagged.

My Quirks

1. I enjoy eating apple and orange more when I dip them in patis (fish sauce) or vinegar. Although he doesn’t show it, R gives a grimace whenever he sees me preparing my “potion”. I like the riot of flavors – sweet and sour and salty.

2. I don’t eat beef. No, I don’t have any beef allergies or anything, it’s the smell I can’t stand. However, I do drink fresh cow’s milk and eat burgers and hotdogs (which contain beef), but that’s just about it.

3. I like to sort my things, then re-arrange them, again… and again, until I get tired of arranging and re-arranging, and leave them (for sorting out next time)… in total disarray. I think I am guilty of the ningas cogon mentality, a Filipino term used to describe as a trait of a person who starts something and doesn’t finish it. (WikiAnswers)

4. I never put any lid back on and screw it down. I wasn’t aware of this, R pointed this out to me just recently when I asked him if he finds anything weird about me. He thinks it’s not weird but he finds it strange that I don’t put the lid back on the coffee jar, sugar jar, catsup, toothpaste, etc.

5. Knuckle-cracking gives me relief of some sorts. Some people say it sounds horrible and have suggested other ways to relieve stress. Call me weird or weird (hehe), nothing beats the enjoyable sensation every time I hear that crispy-crack! R makes a funny face every time I do that though it doesn’t bother him at all.

6. Every morning, I leave the house with a pile of clothes on my bed. These are the clothes that I try on, and on, and on, as I prepare to go to work. Before I know it, there is a huge pile of clothes on the bed and still I’m not happy with the way I look. Most of the time I wish I had an office uniform. It would spare me from all the trouble. Sigh.

There you go… that’s me.

Now I want to pass this on to my blogger-friends, namely:

Saturday 9 #005: We Travel Well

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

1. What part of the world and country do you live in?
- Currently I am based in Southeast Asia, particularly in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I am originally from Roxas City, Capiz, which is in the Philippines’ Western Visayas Island.

2. What is the furthest from home that you have been, and where is it?
- The farthest I’ve been is Japan.

3. What travel destination have you enjoyed the most?
- I enjoyed all!

4. What travel destination have you enjoyed the least?
- I can’t say because there’s something new and different in each country I’ve visited. The only thing I don’t like about traveling is when airlines mess up and you end up stranded in an airport without your baggage.

5. Is there somewhere you’d like to visit but have not, and where is it?
- Yes, a lot of places actually - Bhutan, Tibet, Mongolia… I’d also love to go to France and the Czech republic, and also to Maldives where a good friend works.

6. Do you prefer traveling to see historic places or to hit the beach and relax?
- Depends on where you are. I also make sure that I make a trip to the market and I am not referring to the malls. To me, if one wants to discover more insights to the culture and way of life of the country you are visiting, one needs to go and explore the markets. You won’t get disappointed at all.

7. What popular vacation destination have you never considered because you think you’d not like it?
- No destination in particular, but we want to avoid the tourist-crowd as much as possible.

8. Where do you travel to most recently?
- Asia. I am currently here in Phuket, Thailand. Back in December I was in Malaysia and Nepal.

9. Do you like day trip “mini-vacations”?
- Very much. My husband and I do that - just pack a bag and dog stuffs, toss them in our trusty, old Pajero and we’re on the road.

1. I believe whatever doesn’t kill you makes you live longer? *lol*

2. If you’re good at something, don’t do it for free.

3. Why so serious?

4. Something is out there, it’s the new RV!

5. If my life were a sitcom, it would be titled My Life is a Sitcom.

6. Sitting on my back porch [if you don't have one, use your imagination] I see the bright stars over the clear sky and the sea dotted with flickering and bobbing lights from the fishermen’s boats.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to pizza and movie night, tomorrow my plans include doing the laundry and Sunday, I want to watch the Dark Knight at the Central Festival Mall cinema with my husband!

Friday Fill-ins #002

Friday, July 18th, 2008

1. If I could be a fly on the wall I would chitchat with the other flies. *lol*

2. Jealousy is a waste of time.

3. When I see a shooting star my wish would be that I see more of them.

4. I’d rather be listening to the voices in my head than (instead of) politicians any day!

5. Certain songs when I hear them make me wanna scratch my head.

6. If time were in a bottle I would save every day.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to a good movie, tomorrow my plans include going out with friends to see Phuket town and Sunday, I want to spend a quiet time with my husband!

Saturday 9 #004: At the Beach

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

This is very timely, my husband and I are in Phuket right now. Related post here.

1. Do you plan to be at the beach this summer?
- Yes, we are already in Phuket!!

2. Do you have a favorite beach?
- Too many favorites to mention!!
This is our first time in Phuket and we haven’t been to the beach yet as my husband has urgent tasks to do. We are staying here for a month, so there is no rush

Back in Cambodia, my husband and I love Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island), which is just off the Gulf of Thailand. It’s just a tiny island, with less than 20 families residing, white sand, turquoise waters, fresh seafood and a great sunset.

When I went back to the Philippines for a short stay, my parents took me to Virgin beach just outside the city. I was amazed at what I saw:

Now tell me who wouldn’t be?
I love it there - it is still pristine, left untouched by commercialism.

3. How old were you on your first beach trip?
- I don’t remember, but we live close to the beach and my family is a beach-loving bunch. We were always at the beach on weekends.

4. Did your folks own or rent a cottage at the beach?
- We rent a cottage.

5. Have you or would you bring your kids to the same beaches you went to as a kid?
Of course, we will… all we are waiting for now is to get pregnant.

6. What type of bathing suit do you wear at the beach?
- In Cambodia, people are conservative so I just wear a shorts over my swimsuit.

7. Do you have favorite food you like to eat at the shore?
- Nothing in particular, but I when we were kids, my mother would prepare an appetizer that’s everyone’s favorite - green mangoes and bagoong dip (it’s shrimp paste fried in garlic, tomatoes and and lots and lots of chili). Chicken and pork barbies are also popular foods eaten at the shore.

8. Do you have a favorite drink you like at the shore?
- Buko (young coconut) juice

9. When is the next time you will be beach bound?
- Whenever we have long holidays here in Phnom Penh, my husband and I head to Kep where Koh Tonsay is. Probably the next time we will be beach-bound is on September, for the Pchum Ben holidays.

Friday Fill-ins #001

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Hi…this week I am participating for the first time in the Friday Fill-ins meme. I hope new friends will join me here…

1. Oh, I can’t wait until I have a baby.

2. Ice is the first thing I see when I open my refrigerator.

3. I never leave home without my bag.

4. If I were a condiment, I would be a red chilli because I am hot. *lol*

5. Queue-jumping (or people who don’t fall in line) is really high up on my list of pet peeves.

6. The last thing I thought of before I went to bed was how loving God is for taking care of me and my family.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to a nice dinner with my husband, tomorrow my plans include sightseeing in Phuket town and Sunday, I want to go shopping!

Friday’s Feast #003

Friday, July 11th, 2008

I am participating again in the Friday’s Feast meme after a loooong time of absence. I hope old friends will find me here, and if not, I hope new ones will come. Here goes:

Appetizer
When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?
- The last time I had my hair cut was in November last year. I promised myself I’d get it trimmed monthly, but never got to it. Now it’s already July and my hair is now below my shoulder level and in dire need of a trim. Before coming to Phuket, I keep on reminding myself to have it cut but never did… I have to do it soon or else, scissors will come flying in my direction.

Soup
Name one thing you miss about being a child.
- Not having to worry about anything, carefree and innocent

Salad
Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.- Butter, hands down!! Love it dripping off on corn, hot pan de sal (Filipino bread), pancake, etc…

Main Course
If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?
- It’s gotta be French!! Aside from the fact that it’s very pleasing to the ears, learning the French language will also help me clinch my dream job.

Dessert
Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be…
… a PDC (Participatory Development Communication) expert working in another country and a mom.
