Blog Challenge: Do you have a hobby? Do I have a hobby? Hmmm. Is staring at the ceiling considered a hobby? LOL! I used to have several hobbies. Needleworks were one of the hobbies I’ve had when I was a lot younger. You name it: crocheting, knitting, cross stitch – I’ve done it before. I know I still have a folder stashed somewhere at home that contains my cross stitch patterns and a container for my threads. Another hobby that I’ve had a few years ago was pocketbook reading. Something with light plots that either dulls your brain or makes […]

Blog Challenge: What do you do when you’re home all alone? Well, I’ve never really been home alone ever since I gave birth. But before that, I used to be home all alone most of the time. If it is a weekday, what I normally do is sleep. Well, channel surf, check facebook, check emails, chat with a few friends who are still online during wee hours in the morning then sleep before the sun rises. During weekends, well, that depends on my mood. When I didn’t have any scheduled night out on that weekend, I usually sleep the day […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your biggest fear? We all have our own fears, I would think. Even the riskiest person would have his own fear, only he chooses to overcome the fear. Being the control freak that I am, I would say that my biggest fear would be the unknown. I don’t like not knowing what will happen. I don’t like not being prepared at some point. It’s not like I fear the unknown to the point of going paranoid. And thinking of the unknown would not really scare me to the point of freezing and not able to move. And […]

Blog Challenge: What do you collect? Over the years, I have collected several things. One of the earliest collections I’ve had was the stamps. I got interested in it when I was back in grade school, I think, because of a field trip that we went to. I cannot remember what the trip was all about. All I can remember was that I bought a couple of stamps. And that started my collection. I got all the mails that my Mom kept and cut out the stamps. I think I had about almost 200 stamps collected. Now that I think […]

Blog Challenge: 5 Blogs you read on a regular basis and why Nowadays, I don’t have that much time to really follow blogs on a regular basis given all the tasks that I need to do. But here are a few of the blogs that I read on every now and then: 1) http://mylittlepirate.wordpress.com I was searching for information about cataract glasses when I found this blog. I started following the blog because it is about an infant’s journey with congenital cataract. My son has the same condition so I found this blog full of insights of what I can […]

Blog Challenge: Where are you happiest? If you asked me this question about a year ago, I would probably say “anywhere but here”, where here is defined as the place where I am currently living for a period of time. I am a restless person and would rather be going places rather than staying in just one place. Once I get restless, I have to getaway. I have to go somewhere. If I have been cooped in at home for a few days, going to the mall is enough to make me happy. Anything that will change my current environment. […]

Blog Challenge: Why and When did you start blogging? Geez, I think I have been blogging for more than ten years now. I have had several blogs over the years. I cannot remember the very first one that I had though. Then there was one blog site that I had before (the site shut down early this year after trying to fully convert the site to an online shopping site). For the longest time, I maintained a blog with Multiply.com. If the site is still alive today, I would probably still use that. The very first one I created as […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your biggest accomplishment? I really don’t take note of the things that I accomplish. Well, not consciously, anyway. Especially for those “accomplishments” that really makes a difference. For me, to say that I have accomplished something would mean that I have made an impact in some sort of over-all scheme (Note as previously mentioned: high expectations of myself). I think I could say that my being able to be independent is my the biggest accomplishment, so far. When I moved out of the house and ventured on my own into the chaotic corporate world, I was living […]

Blog Challenge: List 10 Things that make you awesome Wow, talk about vanity! LOL! I don’t know. I don’t think I am awesome in any way. I think I am in constant need of rework to become one. I would think that I am the opposite of awesome. But then again, that’s just me. I think I have very high expectations of myself that even I fall short of it. So, let’s see if we can come up with a list of 10 things. But first, let’s define awesome. Just so we can align the things that will be listed. […]

Blog Challenge: What’s on your iPod? I barely have an hour and a half before this day ends this side of the world. I was planning on posting Day 14 around noon but then, I woke up after lunch. Then we went to the grocery to buy supplies and to get something for the relief operations we have at work. So, anyway, first thing: I don’t own an iPod and I have never had one. It’s not necessarily because I can’t afford to get one, I just never thought of buying one for myself. I guess it is because I […]
