............"I'll know what i think when i see what i say" -- graham wallas............
****************************************************************************************************************
just when i wanted to keep a memory of my 'pondering by chance', i found an avenue to share, if not view alone, what runs in my mind AS LIFE GOES ON.tagged
i’m taking a short break from pondering on life’s intricacies.. just this one time, i shall abide by the rules of the name called “tagged” – only because it came from someone who is too nice that i can’t say i never keep the fun going on things like this. even chain letters die on my lap; but for the love of a friend, here goes, mavs..
five things i love to do with family/friends (but if by chance, i am alone, i’d be just as happy to carry out); these activities revitalize me.. exactly what i need to take on life’s challenges every now and then :
1. travel.. exploring the beautiful cities of this oh-so-complex world is, to me, the best way to get educated on some of God’s wonderful creations.
2. shop. nothing beats the way hoarding makes me release stress :-)
3. daydream. fulfilling hopes on my own sweet time inspires me all the more to not just wait for fate to happen -- i work it out.
4. watch the sunset. when the day seems unbearably cruel, the coming of the dusk says all else will come to an end; and rest i shall, thank heavens.
5. clean up. pure dwelling, sound mind.
three names i go by :
1. bu
2. gracia
3. honey
three “screen names” i have had :
1. beadle (as i was constantly the “secretary” those days i was at graduate school for my masters degree)
2. daddy’s girl (need i explain..)
3. ‘OC” (a.k.a freak? oh, geez..)
three physical things i like in myself :
1. ears (they’re not nice but they serve as proof that i am my dad’s daughter 😂)
2. shoulders
3. eyebrows
three physical things i don’t like in me :
1. eyes - it’s a penitence to always rely on glasses
2. arms – not “sleeveless” friendly since motherhood became me:-(
3. skin - dry spell won't leave! grrrrrr...
three parts of my heritage :
1. filipina
2. spanish
3. british (hey, i’m working on this one to happen! he..he..)
three things that scare me :
1. snakes
2. my daughter getting used to my absence due to work
3. that i may be too sick to take care of the family
three of my everyday essentials :
1. tools to pray
2. vanity bag in the car (that means lip gloss, mirror, extra shoes, extra bag, extra sunglasses)
3. cash/credit card
three of my most favorite songs :
1. just the way you are
2. i will
3. i can see clearly now
three things i want in a loving relationship :
1. respect on each other’s individuality
2. the feeling of comfort and peace even when apart
3. signs of a happy future
three things people say that i know are lies :
1. i won’t do it again, mom (yeah, right..)
2. although you didn’t win, you’re the best (then why didn’t i win???? hmmmpppp..)
3. i’ll pay you as soon as i have money (hohumm…)
three things people say that i know are true :
1. you can’t have it all.. win some, lose.2. all hurts will come to pass
3. if i can see it, then i can do it; if i just believe it, there’s nothing to it! (go, jordan!!)
three physical things on the opposite sex that appeal to me :
1. height
2. abs
3. teeth
three of my favorite hobbies :
1. laughing with kyle
2. writing
3. traveling
three things i want to do badly now :
1. fly again.. day in and day out.. really.
2. pig out. seafoods, mangoes, seafoods, mangoes.. and lots of chocolates, pls!
3. lose weight.. yap, right after the “pig out” session.
three careers i hoped for / would hope for :
1. pilot
2. social worker
3. interior designer
three places i want to go on vacation again and again :
1. rome. the best i have so far been to
2. new zealand. the pictures and the stories are always nviting
3. manila. never mind the pollution and bad traffic; midnight sale will more than make up for that!
three kids' names i like :
1. mikaela francesca (my daughter kyle got it)
2. jianina beatrice (my 1st choice for a daughter when i was infanticipating yet)
3. rain gabriel (my ready name in case i will be blessed with a son)
three things i want to do before i die :
1. see my daughter happily married and adjusted with motherhood (needless to say, i want to grow old)
2. go to the holy land
3. save a life
three ways that prove i am such a girl :
1. shopping always makes me smile
2. i’m forever conscious of my looks, clothes, smell
3. travel light? no way!
three people i admire most :
1. mother teresa. the dedication moves me.
2. my parents ( i count them as one)
3. kyle. she brings me enormous joy even without moving a muscle. how does she do that..
and the rest of mankind? (here comes the pondering, alright)..
what are the chances that i would meet an alter ego? can at least 2 people have the same passion, the same desires? if not even identical twins can have exactly the same prints, how many choices are there in life!!
i’m overwhelmed..
