Saturday Six – More Questions to have fun with!

Posted by admin on Feb 7, 2010 in just for fun

1. What’s the one thing that really annoys you?
People who cut in lines. There’s a reason why people fall in line. Cutting is just so rude and shows how poor your

upbringing is.

2. If it was the end of the world what be the last thing you would try to do?
I don’t want to think about it but if ever it happens, I’d be happy spending my final hours with my husband and kids and

if I’m lucky, with my parents, siblings and in-laws as well.

3. If you had the choice of designing a mobile phone what one feature would you add to it?
I want something that can tell me an answer in a matter of seconds. Let’s say I need a suggestion for joint supplements , it will return with top three answers. It will be the

right answer too, not like the Internet when you get so many results you don’t know what to do with it anymore.

4. Diamonds or pearls?
Diamonds for sure. It’s a woman’s bestfriend after all.

5. Silver or gold?
I would go for gold if I need to preserve wealth. But for accessories, I’m more of a silver-type of girl.

6. Are you at home or work?
Home. It’s a Saturday and I’m trying to get some work done before we go to the mall later.

Humpty Dumpty, Kankles & More!

Posted by admin on Oct 14, 2009 in blogging, just for fun, online life

1. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses,
And all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

He’s probably taking a break from all that walking. He has a big head after all and it can get pretty heavy.

2. If Mother Goose and Father Time had kids, what would they look like and what would they be named?
A goose with a beard. Now that’s one ugly kid. Name would be Hermione Weasley. Why? Because I just finished watching Order of the Phoenix on DVD and they are still on my mind.

3. Does Barbie have kankles?
Probably yes. She can’t very well be that perfect!

4. Have you ever been featured in a magazine?
Yes, when I was younger. Twenty years younger haha.

5. Did your parents keep a baby book for you? If so, how often have you looked through it?
Sadly no. They have better things to do back then than keep a book for me. There’s food, shelter and education. But I do keep a lot of baby books for my daughter so she can say yes to a future question such as this.

    Just last week when I attended a friend’s birthday bash.

Ten on Tuesday – 10 Bad Habits You Can’t Quit

Posted by admin on Sep 7, 2009 in just for fun

1. Read e-books late at night instead of sleeping. Because of this, I find it hard to sleep and always feel sluggish in the morning.

2. Squeeze the toothpaste in the middle. My husband hates this but I just keep on forgetting.

3. Leave the house at the last minute thinking I have plenty of time to kill. I always end up late, though.

4. TV series addiction. I get so affected too that I’m unable to function for days whenever a really good one ends.

5. Eat rice with pasta. What a pig! But I don’t feel full unless I ate a plate of rice even after eating a huge serving of pasta. As if I can burn burn belly fat simply by sitting all day.

6. Read my phone anywhere. Makes my eyes blurry and often than not, dizzy especially when I do it in the car.

7. Save newly downloaded files on my desktop. The result is that my desktop is so cluttered plus I’m sure I will lose all of them if ever my C: drive gets corrupted.

8. Talk inside the movie house. I just get excited that I can’t help but share my thoughts to whoever’s watching with me.

9. Leave my cellphone on vibrate so I miss a lot of phone calls and text messages. I drive my husband crazy with this habit because he always calls me when he’s out and instead of reaching me easily, he’ll have to dial our landline just so he can talk to me.

10. Obsession with Gong Yoo and Lee Min Hyo – both Korean actors.
