A Tag From Sarah

Our Better Half

The rules are:

1.First name:
( if he doesn't like his name plastered all over the net a pet name will do.)
2. How and where did you meet?
3. Characteristics
4. Your plans 20 to 30 years from now.


To explain our story better , I gotta post a few pics of him and if you are gonna be talking about the man of your life, then it has to be atleast a good 5 paragraphs long lols....expectedly :)

#1


Younger Grant


#2

We met in HongKong in February 2002.He was sent there by his company to do some work. He said he kinda felt that he's gonna meet someone during his short stay so when him & his colleagues went to a Buddhist Temple & saw a Lucky Pan he touched it & made a wish, for him to meet the ONE!!The next day , after enough cajoling by his friend , they went out late that night to a bar & unbeknownst to him , the ONE that he was waiting for was sitting next to him & introduced herself as "Jenina" ( I lied..I usually do ,esp if it's just the 1st meeting coz it's always the last that I see those guys anyways. I also lied about my job..I told him I was a secretary lols). It was just a casual "hi! how-do-you-do" meeting , just 2 strangers making Innocent conversation....till he asked me to dance ( blushing....I think even if I retold this story when I'm old & wrinkly , I would still be blushing and giggling ).The song was "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".How fittingly so coz I felt like I was on a daze and suddenly regretting why I gave him a false name .I remember secretly praying that he wont vanish too soon juts like some regular tourist. We danced all night & talked till morning.


February 2002,HongKong

We spent the following day together and I told him the truth , my real name and my profession.He heard me sang for the first time & told me that I shouldn't lie again about my job. Prior to our meeting I just rebounded from a nasty break-up & getting into another relationship was not on my mind .Never was I particularly attracted to Americans neither , just their music. There were a few numbers of men foreign & local who showed interest but only a a handful of them came as close as to sending flowers & gifts.I had to turn them down coz I wasn't ready. I thought about the same when I met Grant that's why I gave a phony name but something happened & changed my mind. All of a sudden ,here's this guy that I couldn't wait to spend the next seconds with. I fell in love & so was he.

It all happened so fast and all we could ever think of was we can never spend our lives apart no matter what. It wasn't smooth sailing when we started my visa process.It was a real test of commitment to each other coz it was really tough.The whole experience that we survived made us realize that if we can pass the immigration hurdle & long distance relationship , then we are strong enough to outlast anything.

#3 Characteristics

If you read about Taureans, then that's almost exactly what he is.He is such a gentle soul that wont hurt a fly but beware if you cross him coz he can be very resentful. He is the kind of guy who will pull over the side of the road to help a stranger in need.He is such a loyal and a trusty friend. very conservative and honest and very respectful. When it comes to his family ,his devotion is without question by far the best I have ever seen.To his wife he is loving,passionate ,understanding,considerate and romantic. He knows how to flatter his wife and make her feel special. His work ethics is truly admirable.always making sure that he gets the job done and more.All in all, he has everything that I wanted in partner although he can't cook ,he can do many other things that always impresses me



#4 Future Plans

Ooohh..I got a long list for that but realistically , our plan is to raise our kids the best possible way we can, make sure they get the best education & always be there for them. Our kids are our number one priority . Comes next is for me to go to college,have a career that I like ,build our dream house, save for retirement, travel the world & grow old & gray together. But that is looking too far ahead.For now we are thankful for everyday that goes by that we have each other.
I'd be forever thankful to God and for that friend of his who forced him to go out that night or we would never have met.I've found my soul mate,my best friend ,the king of my heart.

I'm guessing this tag has been done by most of my friends but who ever wants to do it, feel free. I know how much love to talk about your Knight in shining armor.

Thank you to Mareng Sarah for this tag.

Annoying Part Of Me

Got tagged by my sweet friends Tess & Sarah.
They didn't say how many so I'll put in 6 just like they did.

1. I am very disorganized.
Every morning I'd be searching the house for the COMB!! but that's just one
example of things I take for granted.

2. I'd buy greeting cards but always forget to MAIL them.
I think this is some kind of a disease coz who buys card , spent time choosing
the right one,and more time writing the messages but just couldn't make it to the
post office, It's been happening now for quite some time now .

3. I act like I'm tough but when I am upset about something ........I CRY .....like
a baby. I just have to let it out coz I can't contain it. But after that , then
I'm back to normal.My husband thinks this is very annoying coz he can't talk to
me until I'm done crying.

4. I'm also not a very good listener....I think most women are...esp when it's our
husband who's talking to us. But we are very good at pretending . I do appreciate
it when my husband talk about work & stuff coz it makes me feel like he
really thinks I'm smart enough to understand computers & techie jargon.

5. I lose trust easily & if I have some kind of a conflict with others, I avoid
confrontation but also avoid talking to that person all together....permanently.

6. I do the very high pitch voice when I'm mad & my husband says I sound like
George Costansa's mom in Seinfield. It drives him nuts.

I think most of you guys have done this tag so those that have not shared thier most annoying parts consider yourself tagged :)

4 Questions

Thanks to Supernova for this tag. It's been long over-due :)


The rule is to choose three questions among the given that you want to answer and post your own question as fourth for the next ones you'll tag to answer. The ones you tag should answer the question you've posted making his/her post 4 questions again as choices for the next person.

1st question is: Why men don't love shopping as much as women?

I'd rather they remain that way.Just imagine if guys likes to shop as much as women do then who's gonna watch the kids?? :) That is how nature wired us .To be distinct from the opposite sex.

2nd question from Daily Zen a.k.a. Allen: If you had to move to a different country outside of the USA, which country and why?

I'd like to live in the Philippines, assuming we have enough money to live comfortably,build a nice house in a nice area , have car , house helpers , air conditioning in every room, water heater & a heavy duty washing machine..I think there is no better place to live. Just imagine having fresh veggies, fruits & sea food everyday.Now that's life!

3rd question from Nova :
You were been into many fights with your very close friends. And because of that, one of your very close friends would tell you something like “we’re just keeping you because we have the same circle of friends and we can’t avoid you”. How will you feel? What will you do? Would you still stick of that friendship? And Why?

First of all , I hate this sorority type of friendship.Taking sides & "she-said-this-she-said-that" are just too juvenile.If you are in high school maybe that's cute but not if you're over 20. If EVER my friends tells me this , then that's it for me.Time to go looking for a more mature kind of friends . Yun lang!

Here's my question:
How do you define''principle"? Have you ever had your principle compromised and if YES then please share your experience?

I am tagging Sarah,Rhebs.Lanie,Geri,In-in,Banot , Yen ,Darling,Bless , Tess & Francesca.

Tag From Mareng Sarah

TY for the tag sis.

Instruction : I will tag you a question and post your answer on your website/blog.After that make another question and tag the other blogger.

Question : Who is the greatest influence in your life or the person you look up to & why ?


I might have a few...maybe 2-3 lets see...hhmmmmm..

When my grandpa was still alive he thought me everything I needed to know when I was in grade school. Science,Math , History & English. He is a very smart old man & up to now it amazes me how he could capture a young playful minds attention & redirect it to something more intellect. He challenges me & made me realize that I can do more than just play all day under the sun. Who reads Reader's Digest when they are 8 or do Manila Times crossword puzzle before they were even in high school. I wasn't really smart or a nerd but he gave me the foundation on how to learn & to value knowledge .

Number 2 is Lea Salonga....it's true...I know it may sound cheesy but right about the same time as Miss Saigon was getting popular (1990 ) was when I was starting to practice singing . What I like about her is her perfectionism , every single song she sang was perfect....the tune,diction , emotion , her pitch and most esp. her properly placed vibrato. She was my model then & up till now.

Number 3 is my mother-in-law. I hope she's not reading this coz I don't think she'd be comfortable with her life being read on the internet. I wont go into every detail...just the quality of her that I admire the most. It's her strength as a woman who never let anything keep her down. You can talk about anything with her such as politics , medicine ( she's a former nurse) , American history, world history, movies , psychology, sociology etch etch.. plus she is very generous *wink*.. I admire how she handles adversities and still came on top . Such a strong ,smart and lovely woman.


Now here is my Question ( and I hope it hasn't been asked yet).

If you were given a chance to choose the kind of life to live , what would it be???

and the choose people to answer this Question are : EVERYONE ON MY FRIENDS LIST :)

if you have done this meme before then you can just igie it but if you would like to share your thoughts then feel free to do so .

TY

8 Random's Facts of My Past

Thanks to Geri for this tag

1. When I was 5, my grandpa convinced everybody that I could read , in English .Of course no one would believe that a kid who have not yet gone to school ( there weren't any preschool yet during my time ) & can't even spell her name could read a book so my grandpa would show them very proudly that I really could read & my he would make me sit in the middle of the table so everybody could hear while I read to them my favorite book "The Caterpillar" . Everybody would clap w/ amazement about my great talent until one jealous cousin couldn't stand the attention that was being bestowed upon me & blurted out " SHE CAN'T READ , SHE MEMORIZED THE BOOK" . I didn't believe her because I was so sure that I know every words of that book so I argued & cried & told my cousin she was a liar & jealous . My grandpa didn't want me & my cousin's feelings hurt so he explained that I just knew the entire book by heart because he had read it to me over over & that everybody knows it but they went along to boost my confidence . It was my first taste of heartbreak & up until now I could still vividly remember the pain lols.

2. At around 7-8 years of age , every summer vacation ,I would help my grandma sell her very famous isaw bbq ( pig intestine bbq) & I would scour the whole neighborhood knocking at every door. Then I would go to every gambling houses ( majong,41,tong-it's ,pusoy) till my whole basket of bbq's are all sold. As my reward my grandma would give me 1 peso to put on my tin can piggy bank . By the time school starts I would have enough money to buy me new school stuff :)

3. When I was in 5th grade , I had a huge crush with a guy from 6th grade. One day while I was standing in line at the Buko juice stand , someone tap me in the back as I was getting my favorite drink . It was my crush & he asid "Hi". I got so nervous I didn't know what to do & I could feel my face burning. I tried to smile & say Hi back but instead something went shooting out of my nose & dropped into my Buko juice cup( uhugin pa kasi kereng-keng na !) . I wasn't sure if he saw it but I thought I was gonna die at that moment so I ran away as fast as I could . Talk about a total turn-off!!

4. In 6th grade, I joined a beauty contest at our local church. I made it into the final round but when it was time for the evening gown parade , I had a wardrobe malfunction. The zipper was jammed & I couldn't force it to slide up .It was a long all the way dwon to my butt!! My mother was frantic trying to find safety pins. She manage to get some at a near by tiange. She saved me from another colossal humiliation.

5. Another funny story when I was a kid was when me & this boy neighbor of ours were about to jump across a big muddy puddle. We were teasing each other & I laughed so hard when he didn't make the jump . I made sure I jumped as far as I could but totally forgot that I was holding 3 eggs that my grandma asked me to get from the store. So guess what happened after that...lols... Grandma was so mad but I thought it was totally worth it though coz I wouldn't let that boy beat me on a dare :)

6. In high school , I joined the drama club & given the lead role to the annual stage presentation. No experience what-so-ever , I managed to pull it through even though so many things went wrong during the opening night (props wont function, lights wont turn on , other cast forgetting their lines etch etch ). They gave me the "Best Actress" award lols.....I've learned the true meaning of "the show must go on".

7. 3rd year high school I joined a contest at school. Whoever could raise the most money would win the crown of Miss Capitol High. I worked so hard raising cash & giving out envelops BUT I didn't surrender all of the money to the school ,just some lols..... I didn't care about the crown or the title but I did enjoyed a few trips at the mall & got myself really fancy stuff :)

8. And last but not the least...
I crashed at an exclusive CAT party at school. It was supposed to be just for all the officers of the Civilian Army Training corpse or whatever they call it. Geesh, I was called in front of all the officers & told that I can't stay blah blah blah......and all I could think about was..."you are so full of S*^%!!!!! . It's just a party. They're acting like they are in a middle of some highly classified military operations. It was just a bunch of high school kids trying to have some fun. At ease man!!!

That's all I could think of Right now. There's many more unforgettable & funny events of my childhood.
