Friendship Tag

Here are the rules for this tag:
1. Copy the badge and put it on your blog,

2. Link back who pass you this tag,

3. Spread this tag to at least 7 or more bloggers those who you think you are friends with.

And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship’s flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship’s flower will bloom for you.

Humorous Questions

Jhona tagged me with this...

Name 11 people you can think of right off the top of your head. Don't read the questions underneath until you write the names of all 11 people. This is a lot funnier if you actually randomly list the names first.. No cheating.

1. Charlie
2. Mae
3. Herman
4. Dellie
5. Zelle
6. Lyn
7. Allan
8. Dette
9. Grace
10. Tin-tin
11. Marianne
    

Now, it's time to answer the following questions:

HOW DID YOU MEET #4?
Well, she gave birth to me... she's my mom!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT # 6?
I wouldn't know, my sister and I have shared a lot of things in the past and even fought a lot at one point -- I guess life wouldn't be the same without her.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF #2 AND # 6 WERE GOING OUT?
If they were just "going out" as in going somewhere together then that would be understandable since they often do that... but if it was meant to be a romantic question, then that would be impossible! They are both my sisters!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF #5 CONFESSED HE/SHE LOVES YOU ?
Nothing... she does that every now and then - she's another sister.

WHO'S #10'S BEST FRIEND?
It used to be me... I don't know who her best friend is these days (she's my cousin).

HAVE YOU EVER EATEN AROUND #1?
Of course! He's my husband...

DO YOU MISS #2?
Yes I miss her a lot... even though we see each other at least once a week... I still miss my baby sister (we used to sleep in the same bed!)

WHO IS #11 DATING
She's too young for that! She's my 6-month old neice!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF #3?
He's a wonderful father and I am thankful that he's mine!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF #9?
She's a lot of fun... and very talkative! She's one of my good friends and co-employees.

WHAT WOULD U DO IF #4 AND #7 WERE DATING?
They do go out together a lot... That's my mom and my only brother! hehehe!

WHO DOES #2 LIKE?
I don't know...

WOULD YOU MARRY #8?
First of all, I'm married already... Second, I don't think same-sex marriages are recognized here in the Philippines... and last but not the least, that would be incest because she's my cousin!

DO YOU LOVE #10?
Yes... I love my cousin Tin-tin.

EVER SLEPT IN THE SAME ROOM AS ANY OF THE NUMBERS?
Yes! Almost all of them actually!

Grateful

I was tagged by Juliana with this and although it took me longer than I anticipated to be able to post this, here it is:

Every morning, I thank the Lord for yet another day He gave to me. I know life can be full of challenges or happiness but either way, I am grateful that I get to live it. I am grateful for a husband who is very patient and understanding, in spite of my shortcomings. I am grateful for having a job, no matter how hard or boring it can get, I realize that not everyone who wants to have a job gets one so I tell myself that I am fortunate enough to be one of those who earn for a living. I am grateful for my family without whom I wouldn't be the person that I am today. I am grateful for all the blessings that I was given -- good education, happy childhood, strong faith, well-built relationships, wonderful siblings, dependable parents, meeting my one true love-my husband, and so much more. If at times I forget to say Thank You for these ever growing list of things to be grateful for, those are just the times when the challenges seem greater than they really are. At the end of the day, I know I am still very fortunate to have lived a life with a firm belief that no matter how times get rough -- "This too, shall pass"

*Start Copy*
In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things: Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.) Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.) After all everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to share, please follow the appropriate link and do so: “Are You Grateful?”, “Complain Complain Complain.”

• I REGRET… having said the things that i say when i am angry (that's why i try to stay quiet as much as possible when i am in that state)


• I LOVE… life and everything that God blessed me with.


• I ALWAYS… make it a point to stay in touch with my family, even if i don't live with them anymore.


• I AM NOT… outgoing (i actually prefer staying at home)


• I DANCE... with hubby at home all the time (more comical than romantic) or when I'm alone and I feel like it.


• I SING… whenever i feel like it, although more to myself than out loud, hehehe!


• I CRY… when i get hurt (physically or emotionally)


• I WRITE… all the time, i'm a journalling kind of girl!


• I WON… lots of friends either in cyberspace or in real life over the years.


• I AM CONFUSED… by lots of things but then, who isn't?


• I NEED… to be more disciplined and have better time management.


• I SHOULD… exercise more!

THE LAST THOUGHT I GO TO SLEEP WITH IS… "Thank you, Lord for this day, and if you decide to give me one more tomorrow, please guide me so I could live it in accordance to Your will."

I'm passing the tag to: Mhay, Toni, Meng, Anne and Vivek
