WANT TO CHANGE: PAPER & ELEMENTS :: SHEEPS AND DREAMS :: COOL CHICK PART 2

Door Colors, Sibs, Butterflys and So Much More!

1. What color is your front door? A darker shade of brown.
2. We discussed our folks in previous TT so now tell me about your siblings. If you are an only child, tell me whether or not you wanted siblings, older, younger etc. I have three siblings and I couldn't imagine life without them. So if I would be born again as an only child, I would definitely ask my parents to adopt another child.
3. What color/type butterfly is your favorite? A mix of yellow and red/pink.
4. Will you be celebrating Cinco De Mayo? No (bcoz I'm not Mexican) but if ever we get invited, why not?
5. Oprah- love her, hate her, or don't care? I lover her show and I admire her but there are times that I just don't care at all. LOL!
6. Are you worried about the spread of swine flu? Of course, I do! That's why we are staying indoors most of the time since the outbreak. We cannot take the risk.
7. Hard or soft pillows? Soft please.
8. How many trees are in your neighbor's yard? Lots!
9. What was the color of the last car you saw? Red.
10. When does your driver's license expire? I don't have one yet but hopefully by the end of this year I'll have it already.
11. Look at the clock on your computer and type the numbers backwards. 82:21
12. When you put your pants on, what leg do you put in first? Right.
13. How would you respond to this letter if you were an advice columnist. I'll advice the sender to go out more often so that she can meet a lot of people. Who knows, her Mr. Right is just lurking somewhere out there. And if she needs a makeover to help boost her confidence, then by all means she should do it.

BIRTHDAY BASH :: DREAM IN PINK :: WITHOUT END PART 1

It's the Thought That Counts...

I've been here in the US for almost a year but up until now, I still don't know how to mail letters to my family and friends back home. I don't even know where the post office is and I get confused with the stamps as much as I get confused with the coins here. LOL! But seriously speaking, I really want to know how "snail mails" work here because I want to send cards to my loved ones during special occasions like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc. And let's face it, with our economy in a slump, it's way cheaper to send greeting cards as compared to buying gifts. After all, it's the thought that counts, right? You can even send online greeting cards if you're really hard up for cash. And speaking of which, I just found the perfect solution to my mailing problem. It's called Big Heart Cards - an online greeting card website with a twist. You choose the card and personalize it and then Big Heart Cards will do the printing, address the envelope, add a stamp, and mail it to your recipient for a small fee! Cool huh!? If you want to try, just go to www.bigheartcards.com and sign up for FREE!

Whatta Sweet Surpise!

Hubby went out this morning to get a haircut and when he returned home, he surprised me with a bag of goodies! I know it was from the Filipino Store because I recognized the plastic bag. He got me my fave sweets from Goldilocks and another treat which I never expected to see - Magnolia Ice Cream in Buko Pandan Flavor! And hubby said there are more flavors available - mango, buko salad, ube macapuno, avocado, and a whole lot more! (drooling) He also got me the ready-to-cook Paksiw na Pata which we are having for dinner right now. Yumm! Oh well, it's okay to pig out once in awhile. At least I have this Kettlebell exercise program to help me burn those extra calories. ;)
