Sissy-mommy Arlene shared this Charm award with me.  Thanks, Mommy!

They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text. Read more… »

“You are never a burden.. don’t ever think that. Friends need each other to pick them up when they are down and I would do nothing less. ” Dawn Drover~ Twisted Sister

A Million Dollar Friend is the kind of person who instinctively knows what it means to be a good friend; this kind of person makes you look forward to the days ahead and fondly remember the days that have passed. – A Nice Place In The Sun

A million dollar friend is someone who not only pulls you up when you’re down, but also always finds a way to not let you fall. – Abelle, Only in Silence

“A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down” ~Arnold Glasow- Vhiel, Can of Thoughts

“ A Million Dollar Friend is a person that is always with you on your happy moments and still loves you in your moment of darkness. ~ Eds, My Precious Niche

“A Million Dollar Friend is a person who comes and won’t judge a flower by its color.
A person who will never give up on you.
A person who will comfort you when storms of tears are in your mind.
A person who will just have some fun with you and give you a good laugh.’
A person that doesn’t mind expressing their happy or sad feelings to you. ~Yen, Me and Mine

A million dollar friend is:
—one that sticks with you through thick and thin
—someone who does not judge you for anything foolishness you do
—someone who cries with you, smiles with you, and even go to war with you.
—one who tells U everything iwill be alright even though it feels like it’s not goin to be alright anymore.
—someone who wipes your tears but even at times the one that makes you cry but you still know that through it all, you can still run to each other anytime. – Arlene -  JOYS IN LIFE.

A million dollar friend may not be there for you all the time but you know you can count on them and will always be there just when you need them, a friend who lends an ear when you need somebody to listen to you, a friend who lends a hand when you need help, and a friend whose heart’s desires are always the best for you. – Life’s Lessons

You Here! Post your nominees and tell the world what a million dollar friend to you means. That’s it!

QUESTIONS:
1. When you buy a greetings card, are the words or the picture more important to you?
- Words are more important to me most of the time and it usually take me a long before I can finally pick my choice.

2. What’s your favorite kind of cake?
- chocolate cake

3. Do you ever make gifts for people, if so what, or do you buy them?

7.If you are married, describe your wedding. If not, what would your ideal wedding be like?
- It’s a solemn and intimate ceremony held in an open-air clubhouse. I wanted to have a garden wedding but we decided to have it inside the clubhouse considering that it may rain anytime. Truly, it rained before the ceremony started. It’s more of a DIY wedding where I and H attended to ALL details by ourselves even up to the last minute. It is so taxing though but the satisfaction we felt after the ceremony and reception is priceless. It’s worth the effort hearing nice comments from visitors on how they appreciate the ceremony, the place and most of all the food.

It’s been weeks since I last posted a meme. I have been super pre-occupied that I failed to visit everybody in my blogroll. But despite of the absence of my footprints in their respective blogs, I am so thankful to those who deligently visits here and leave a comment or a note in my cbox. One of those online friends I am referring to is Divine. Thanks dear for the visits and sharing this tag =).   

RULES:

1. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.

2. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.

3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 10 people to get tagged and list their breads.

4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

10 Random things about me:

1) I don’t know how to drive, nor wanna to learn how to drive.

2)  I never had a Barbie doll when I was a kid. I only had a big doll as a birthday present from Mamang.

3) My first baby photo was taken during my 1st birthday.

4) It’s hard for me to say SORRY.

5) I am not a movie lover. I find it boring sometimes and end up sleeping while Ace is so engrossed with the story. But if I like the story, I don’t sleep.

6) I love water a lot….any body of water. I find it so refreshing and relaxing.

7) I don’t usually drink beverages using a straw. If it was served without a straw, then I don’t ask for one. It’s my little way of saving another plastic to be added in the tons of plastic garbage.

I am an impulsive buyer sometimes…if the budget allows.

9) I never get full eating in a buffet restaurant.  

10) I love handbags and shoes a lot. I prefer getting a branded one with high quality no matter how much it cost than end up with cheap things that I cannot use for long. Hence, I don’t buy too often. Now, I am dreaming of having an LV handbag.    

I wanna know you better thru this meme…Aileen, Yen, Yvelle, Vannie, Sheng, Sweet Lullaby, Sheila, Prily, Dez, and Julie

I’m glad Avee shared this to me. I have come across with this before but never put so much effort in internalizing what my blood type tells about my personality. Blood type really determines your temperament in one way or another.

My Mamang is type A+ so is my Daddy. Hence, my blood type is also A+. No way that my blood type will not be like them. Or else, it would mean one thing….I am adopted!LOL.  

According to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood types.

TYPE O – You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously and a tendency to be too competitive.

TYPE A – You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.

TYPE B – You’re a rugged individualist, who’s straightforward and likes to do things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.

TYPE AB – Cool and controlled, you’re generally well liked and always put people at ease. You’re a natural entertainer who’s tactful and fair. But you’re standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions. How do you rate?My bloodtype is A. I like harmony, peace and organization. I work well with others, and sensitive, patient and affectionate. Now let’s keep this tag rolling! I want to know if your blood type really fits your personality.

Thanks to Ness for this tag. It made me aware how far I’ve been within the country. My travel score is C which means, I am still a stranger in my own country. I’ve been to different places at an early age as I have been active in attending Science camps, jamborees, and other school activities aside from the occasional travel to my father’s hometown. With this, its only appropriate that I will get to know other places around the country first before aiming to go out of the country. 

I’m passing this tag to Carol, Borski and Nai, and Arlene.

My Lakbayan grade is C-!

Kid’s Question

Thanks to Marilyn for this tag.

Copy here:

1. Answer the Kid’s Question by Gregory Stock, PH.D. Remember: Don’t respond as you think others want you to. Respond the way you actually feel!
2. Add your name (linked to your blog)
3. Tag everybody else!

Kid’s Question #1:
If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

Please answer the question and put your name and link after.

My Answer:

Seems like I’m in a beauty pageant. If by chance I’d be a ruler of this world, I’d be fair to everybody because above all I don’t want to be treated unfairly so I don’t want others to feel that also. It’s also not fair to take advantage of my position to get all that I want as a ruler. All things should be implemented fairly for the good of everybody and not of the chosen few. I don’t see myself as a greedy ruler for I really hate greedy people. All I want is for everybody to be happy and those who are menace to the society have a dose of their own medicine.

Now I am going to pass this tag to my friends: Nay, Nelle and Ness.
