..Tagged-Clai-*

I was tagged by one of my younger sis in blogging and since she is so close to me I couldn't escape to answer her tag questions and expose more secrets about my real self..But before doing this I would like to introduce to you Clai ~ this is her site~..she is also a Filipina like me and she has been one of my closest friends..the best quality that I like about her..she is so honest and fearless in sharing her inner views on love and life..a typical simple girl experiencing her ups and downs in life through her road of maturity. She has always treated me as her Ate (older sister) and listened to my advices..I hope those are right advices huhuhu..so Clai here are my answers to your tag questions ;)

• How did you survived High School?

~ High school is one of the toughest times of my life. It was the time when all that I did was very well guarded by my parents. I was not allowed to wear my own clothes because my Mom would choose and I would wake up with my clothes hanging on my closet. I was not allowed to have friends. It was the time I was bullied in our school because I was so thin and pale. I even experienced some girls spitting on me while I was walking on our corridor and I was studying in an exclusive school so I never expected to be treated that way. How did I survived? Maybe because I never gave up on my dreams. Even if my classmates laughed and mocked me I never made it a hindrance to whom I wanted to be and just focused on my studies.

• What and where is your ideal date?
  
  ~ My ideal date..just walking with my husband to be on a beach..singing songs together from sunrise till we see those stars twinkling at night is a romantic date for me..anywhere would do as long as I'm with him all my days would be perfect.

• Do you prefer a surprise wedding proposal? Why?

• ~ It will be more exciting to receive a surprise wedding proposal..any woman wants it for sure *blink*

 

• What is your favorite channel? Why?
  

~ I always love to watch Discovery channel since I was a kid..I am always into Science and I love reading National Geographics books while I am inside my father's office before.

• What do you think about long distance relationship?

~ I am in a long distance relationship right now..honestly it is a bit hard because you have a limited chance to be with the person you love but distance can't stop two loving hearts that are destined to be together. Some say there are few chances for a long distance relationship to last but for me who is in it now I could say it will always depend on those persons building a relationship. As long as love and trust is there, a long distance relationship can lead to forever.

• What was your greatest achievement so far?

~ I had the best career before but now I can say being a mother of my two cute kids is my greatest achievement.

• What do you think about interracial marriage?

~ I have a friend who is in this type of marriage and I could say it is a bit hard because both should understand and adjust to each other's cultures, introducing their own ideas and customs. However, race for me has never been a question to someone who loves.

• What do you think are the causes of infidelity? 

~ I think each individual has their own personal reasons..but the way I see it..because they don't love the person whom they are with..but then again I am also human and I never judged anybody ;)

• Do you think the world will end this year 2012?

~ No, the world won't end this year..and wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..no no no..many people have predicted that this year our world would end but I am not really focusing on it..I have heart failures and I can go anytime so the best thing I can do now is to focus and cherish each day that I have with my love ones.

• What is love?

~ My own definition of love is when..someone learned to accept who you are including your past and imperfections..it is loving without any conditions of receiving same love in return..just holding on and waiting because you know his promises won't be broken..just letting go of those expectations and holding on to the love that you have promised because I love him so ;)

I have done my assignment sis Clai..Thank you for reading ;)

I just finished my daughter's reviewer for her exam so..I'll sleep now hihihi ;)

Let us all have a Happy Sunday everyone *hugs* ;)

..An Award For My Friends**

 Friends..warning..this is a long post weeeeee..

I have received two awards recently from three of my friends in blogging..

Thank you so much to Divina Joy-the first day I visited her site I was a bit shy to comment because it was a fashion blog.I am a simple person and not a fashionista hehehe..But what I noticed was her lovely smile..After a while I discovered that we are both from same schools in college though I’m on an older batch and my classmate before was her teacher hahaha..Made me much older hmp..I hope she see this when she comes back from the world youth day in Madrid :)

Madhulika who gave me this same award is a new found friend. She is actually the seventh friend that I have from India. I have always loved her views on life and love. She has no fears of sharing to the whole world about her true opinions and points of view.

Next stop is Marie Harmony..one of my sis in blogging gave me this award..I can’t also understand but I feel a certain closeness to Marie..Maybe because both of us are on a Long Distance relationship and I so can relate to her post and feelings. Every time she comments on my site it made me say..How does she know what’s on my mind and my feelings hehehe..

Now, time to answer their tag questions..

Seven Facts about myself:

• I am a very simple and friendly person..but sometimes I bite..arf arf..I don’t usually wear make-up. A face powder and lip-gloss will do..because I’m already pretty wahhhhhh..*eye brows raised anyone? hahaha..*

• Music has always been my companion when I am lonely..I love to hear Jim Brickman songs.
• What pissed me off are rude, proud, liars and insensitive people..grrrrrrrr..
• My greatest fear in life is to be left alone. Honestly, I am not afraid to die. What I am afraid of is my love ones leaving me.
• My greatest dream ever since I was a child was to have a happy and a complete family. A home where my children are safe and full of true happiness. I am a Single Mom As Of Now ~~weeeeeeee..
• I am an only child..Filipino Chinese.., I have a heart ailment. I often faint but I have always believed in miracles through prayers.
• God has always been the center of my life. I love my kids and quiet angel so much. I’d better sacrifice rather than my love ones being hurt. I have no fear of risking my life for them!!

  
Ok I have done my assignment my friends. So now it is my turn to pass on these awards But..Let’s see I want to pass an AWARD I Made..weeeeeeee..or maybe because I want to have my own set of tag questions yehey…so here is the award I made for Special Persons Who Have Been A Part of my Blogging World..

 I made this Inspirational Blog Award basically for sites who on my own opinion have Touched Lives. All of us have different sites and each one is unique. But in each site we might not notice that we are already reaching out to people we don’t know. Why a butterfly?..This has always been my favorite creature because it always symbolizes New Life. Through our life’s journey like a butterfly it has stages. Before it can be a beautiful one it should go through a process of transformation. Like in our lives as what I have said all of us are in a journey, each day is a process of learning which gives us a chance to grow and mature. Like a butterfly we should always remember “The Lord Is Not Finish With Us Yet”. Life is a continuous journey of learning..

RULES:

You can Pass this award to any deserving blogger you can think of. Go to their site and tell them they have received an award from you.Copy and paste the award on your site and copy the link of the person who gave you the award.Then answer the tag questions..My tag questions yeheyyyyyyy!!!..and don't give it back to me hmp..

2. What are your dreams for your future?
3. If you are to go to a cruise, where would it be and why?
4. How would you spend your vacation time and with whom?
5. If given a chance, what life would you choose? Your life now or your past?

..10 things**

I was tagged by my friend Yam..Thank you..

so I have to answer again 10 things about myself
 

Here it is..

I love to cook food and bake for my love ones. One of the ways I show my love to them is giving my service in every way that I could.

My favorite foods are all kinds of chocos,noodles,vegetables,fruits, fish, crab and shrimps.

I love star gazing and like a child wishing upon a star that one day my prayers and dreams will come true. My ultimate dream is to have a happy and complete family.

When I feel alone I cry a lot but no matter how painful a situation is I always look for positive reasons to smile.One of them is ,writing,singing and listening to mellow music  because I make music as my escape to loneliness.

I love to be with someone who can make me smile and make me feel loved. I love to be with someone who will always hold my hand making me feel that I am secured being with him.

When I enter into a relationship I am always into commitment. I always do my best to take care of a relationship if it is worth keeping.I am so afraid to be hurt by anyone.I am strong but I become so  weak when my heart hurts because of Love.

I have lots of patience and understanding but when my kids are hurt better hide because I can really be rude and forget who you are.

Open my closet and my shirts are often color white, brown and pink. I am a simple person and I don’t usually wear make-up. A lipstick and press powder would do.

I always give my best in everything that I do. I always believe in a quote “Better do it now and do your best because it might be your last.”

Looking at the journey that I have been through I am proud to say I have never insulted anyone and I have not been selfish. I always had a heart of making people smile and feel loved most specially for those persons who deserve to be loved and taken care of.
