Question of the week #51

click on the title to join Yen's QOTW. :)

Here's mine:

1. How’s the week going on so far? so far so good, highlight of the week was kyle's recognition day. but that's for another post. :)

2. Would you rather love or be loved? i'd rather love. it's more fulfilling sharing the love to others rather than expecting other people to love you back or to give you love.

3. How do you feel when you hear a friend completely butchering a story? if i am within earshot, i make sure to correct it but not in a way to offend my friend.

4. If you could have a recorder which would make a DVD or video tape of your dreams, would you use it? i'd select a few dreams but not all of them.

5. Have you ever had a dream about being a place you’ve never been, and days or years later, you end up there? i think so, especially when i was a kid. but i can't remember.

6. Do you sit at your computer and eat snacks and have refreshments to drink? in the office, no since we're not allowed to eat in our cubicles, for drinks i just have water. but at home, it's an all out pig out session. haha

7. Which is more true: everything matters or nothing matters? everything matters. but it's really a matter of a person's perspective.

8. What was the last thing you gave up on? smoking. way before i found out i was preggy. :)

9. Can the love of a person really make you change? oh yes, especially when you least expect it tat it's changing you already. :)

10. Any plans for the weekend yet? we're going to the martha stewart wedding fair on sunday and to meet up with our wedding planner also. :)

Enjoy! Questions of the Week

Yen"s Question of the week #50

if you want to join Yen's question of the week, hop on over to her blog

1. Is it fun being you? - i'd like to think i am a fun person. :) it is fun being me since i always have a funny "hirit" up my sleeve that leaves some of my friends in laughing fits.

2. What have you changed your mind about in the past few weeks? - usually it involves work and if i can make it to the meetings. on the personal side, nothing much.

3. Do you find yourself in a better mood on a sunny day? - usually. but generally i don't like days that are too sunny especially if i'm not on the beach. :)

4. When meeting someone new, what makes you feel more comfortable? - if we have found something in common to talk about or if the person's very much open to talk about anything and everything.

5. If you could be any god or goddess from mythology, who would you be? & why? - i'd be hera, wife of zeus, because behind every successful man is his wife. *wink*. and i find her one of the coolest goddesses ever.

6. How do you spend the night before a “big” day? - i make a mental list of what to bring, what to do, what time to wake up, more of an itinerary of what should happen on this specific time etc. i'm a bit of an OC person. everything has to be prepared the night before.

7. Describe the person that would be the exact opposite of what you find attractive. - he's the type of person that would hate riding any type of public transportation, hates going around public places, would prefer to eat/dine at expensive places always, not willing to try out new things, very imposing on what he wants, very closed minded, puts himself first before anything else, hates acting like a kid sometimes, actually, in short the exact opposite of hubby. and that's an honest answer. :D

8. I would be a happier person if… we had more to save for the future.

9. Have you ever regretted? - i don't believe in regrets, just learning from your mistakes. you only live once and there are no erase and rewinds in life.

10. I seldom leave home without the keys to the house and gate in my bag.

c. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. You'll have to read on for my 7 facts and see who I tagged.


so, what's another 7 facts/things about me?

1. i had a boyban phase when i was in highschool. it was hardcore- from collecting all magazine clippings, recording all their videos, interviews (tv and radio) and to the point of joining a radio contest just to score tickets to watch them. yes, i was that baduy in highschool. of course, di na ngayon... hehe di ba ple?

2. in first year highschool, i was always mistaken for a lesbian. i had short hair, walked like a boy, talked like a boy, i was in every way boyish. but! i'm 100% a girl. i would get kilig with all my crushes but oddly, i never showed it. in short, kilig deep inside.

3. still on the highschool topic, i never had a hard time befriending boys when we had interactions in school. it was fun meeting people other than the same gender.

4. when i was in 2nd year highschool, we had an interaction with xavier. and guess what, hubby was my batchmate. but no, we didn't meet there. i only met him when we were working. fate? pwede!

5. i wanted to be a dentist. until i realized that dentists do surgery as well. and i stay away from other people's blood and needles. oh well..

6. my barkada has this special dance that if one starts moving, the rest unconsciously follows until everybody's doing it.

7. i'm scared to light the stove using matches. automatic gas ranges please?

feel free to grab this tag. :)

Tagged: why do we need friends?

We need Friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need Friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need Friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.
We need Friends to remember us
one we have passed sharing memories
that will always last.
