Thanks to Litzie and Alpha for including me in their "i-love-your-blog" list.



And thanks to Angie for including me in her top 5 blogger list.

Wow, flattered naman ako. *Hugz* girls! Now it's my turn to spread the love...

These are the girls I love and their blogs which I stalk most of the time... in alphabetical order (hehe Alpha, para maiba naman ako...)

• Alpha - I'm super amazed with this girl's photography skill. Talagang capture na capture niya ang emotions ng kanyang baby boy Estong. And she's also very very sweet... never fails to leave me comments whenever I blog. Alpha, way to go... galing galing mo na sa photography! :)

• Angie - Reyna! Queen! :) She's so good in photography and digiscrapping! I love her skills in making realistic dropshadows! Wows me all the time. Talented is an understatement for this girl's creativity. She's so artistic... I love how she decorated their house. Super! When it comes to blogging, I never get tired of reading her stories though she posts less often these days. Kahit mala-nobela ang haba, talagang binabasa ko hanggang dulo. *LOL* I love Angie's stories. How she bravely cope with emotional distress. Helped me a lot when I went through the same experience. Girl, blog more. We miss you. :)

• Aggie - Katukayo number 1 sa gastusan. *LOL* Fellow pink and brown bride which I knew from w@w. It's amazing how she blog about her life openly. Pag nababasa ko yun posts niya, gusto ko na rin magkaron ng Matthew at Martha. *LOL* Superwoman etong babaeng 'to. Kahit na super busy siya during the day with her work, she can still manage to do some sideline with paid blogging. At pag uwi niya, nakakapagdigiscrap pa sya. Diba superwoman? Aggie, matulog ka naman. *LOL* I love chitchatting with this girl... grabe ang tawa niyan... nakakaloka! :)

• Glo - Katukayo number 2 sa gastusan. *LOL* Fellow pink and brown bride which I also knew from w@w. I met her way back 2006 when I was gushing over her pink and brown cake at Judy's booth sa wedding expo. And talking about how small the world is, her real life bestfriend Chame is also my friend from previous company. This girl's a super sweet and caring friend. On the go talaga tumulong whenever somebody needs help. I love reading her posts... very touching especially the ones involving her mamu and her longtime friends. Glo, pagaling ka na ... Sana makadaan kami sa inyo para puwede mo kaming itour. :) By the way, I call this girl DIY (do-it-yourself) goddess. Grabe ang powers! :)
  

• Litzie - this sweet lady never fails to leave me sweet and heart-warming messages all the time. And I'm so gigil whenever I see photos of her tabachingching Dustin! Sabi ko nga paglilihian ko si Dustin when I get preggy. :) She's also a very talented digiscrapper. Toot pala for being part of Oscrap's CT. Yey! Hope to see more of your layouts.
  

3 As in one row huh? :) I've met Angie, Aggie and Glo in person. Sus, walang tigil na daldalan at tawanan like we've known each other for ages. I'm so looking forward to another bebot EB. Psst... mag-organize naman kayo. :) And to the other girls, sana magkita naman tayo minsan para makurot ko in person yun mga anak niyo. *LOL*

And other blog girl friends that are equally amazing...

• abie - kaloka ang tawa! At kaloka sa taray! I love how she tells stories in her blog and in person! :)
  
• cheche - fellow Canonian that's also very good in photography. :)
  
• gracita - fellow Dino bride and Lasallian. This girl is an engineer who climbs posts! Tama ba? :)
  
• jean - fellow clarice bride who just recently moved to the land downunder. I love reading her posts especially those involving her point of views. Fellow Canonian din. :)
  
• mai - I got my very first digiscrap magazine from this girl for free. haha thanks mai! Have a safe pregnancy. :)
  
• yen - fantastic digiscrapper and photographer who's also having another baby soon. I love to see snapshots of her boy Albert in school. Nakakatuwa. :)
  

Unbelievable, but yeah... friendship can truly be nurtured in this big wide world called cyberspace. :)

Before I go, here are some photos behind the names... :)

Since my brain is mojoless most of the time, I normally snag calendar wallpaper templates from various sites and personalize ‘em with our photos. I would make 2 copies - 4:3 format and wide screen format. 4:3 for our desktop at work and wide-screen for the laptop and PC at home. The one captured and posted below is what I see everyday at work. Desktop icons are quite cluttered but bearable. There were times when the entire screen was almost filled with files. *LOL* I used shabby princess’ desktop template for October in shades of lavender and green (a.k.a. eggplant or Halloween color) – nice isn’t it? The photos are from Disneyland HK during our honeymoon last January. These were shot using our good ole point and shoot camera with a tripod. My hair was still straight then (I promised to blog about my hair which I obviously didn’t do). Oh well, here you go...

It's been ages since I answer one of these. Here's one from Litzie...

1. Food you hate - I can't stand the smell of corriander.

2. Fruits you hate - I'm not a fruit person actually. But if I have to choose one, I'd say Apple! I don't like the texture. But I love apple juice though.

3. Veggies that you hate - None I guess coz I love vegetables! ;)

4. Celebrities or people that you hate - people who makes matters worse.

5. Event/Incident/Situation that you hate - frequent iyakan and confrontations.

6. TV Shows or Movies that you hate - PBB and Walang Kapalit!

7. Type of Music that you hate - revivals that aren't necessarily better than the original ones. what's with the music industry lately? wala na bang creative juices ang mga musicians baket puros revivals nalang naririnig ko sa radio?

8. Household chore that you hate - maglaba ay di biro... i mean with barehands.

9. Things you hate about the world - terrorism and violence!

10. Things that you hate about yourself - pessimistic and impatient. there are a lot more actually...

Please consider yourself tagged since I dunno how long this thread has been going on. :)

Wow! I've been tagged for the first time! Thanks Kaye! Ikaw ang unang nagbinyag sa akin. HEHEHE..

Instructions: Name ten of life™'s simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

• One. A tight hug from lablab! Awww I love it when he starts snuggling... (cheeesssyy)
• Two. Receiving gifts and opening the wraps! Double excitement when it's beautifully wrapped (with bow ties and all). Triple excitement if it's something I've always wanted but hesitated to buy!
  
• Three. Hot noodle soup with lots of chili sauce on a rainy day. I love gloomy weather!
• Four. Anything with CHEEESSEEE! You should see my facial expresesion whenever I have a bite of Kenny Roger's maraconi cheese. As in aaaaawwwwww!!!
• Five. Food tripping! I love to try different kinds of food! So far my fave dishes are taiwanese street food, singaporean laksa noodles and sate bbqs, vietnamese pho noodles and salad with fish sauce, thai curry and tom yam kum, american steak and burgers, italian pasta, japenese ramen and takoyaki (my fave), mexican chili con carne... should I go on? ;p
• Six. Smell of freshly brewed java in the morning. Lalo na kapag windang pa pagpasok sa office. I'm a coffee addict!
• Seven. Buying new gadgets! I always use the newly bought ones while Dex uses hand-me downs c/o me. HEHE..
• Eight. Seeing new comments on my blog and posts on my tag-board. aaaww.. everybody loves Wanda pala. :)
• Nine. Patching up. I'm the type of person who doesn't initiate a fight. Kahit na masama na loob ko, I won't say anything coz I know it will also hurt my friends. Pero pag-inaway mo ako, sorry ka nalang... di ako marunong makipagbati unless ikaw ang mauna. Lam mo yun? Kahit na gusto ko nang makipagbati pero di ko naman magawa kasi laging nauuna ang pride. Kaya super touched ako kapag may mga batian na nangyayari. I love living in perfect harmony.
• Ten. MASSAGE!! Gusto ko yun malakas!!!
  

10 na? Parang bitin! :) Lemme add two more! :p

• Eleven. New SHOES!! I'm a shoe-freak!
• Twelve. New make-up! I'm a blush & lipstick freak! I can't live without my eyebrow kit and tweesers (wala kasing kilay bwehehehe)

isa pa! isa pa!

• Thirteen. Seeing F4 in person! BWAAHAHAHA... It's an unforgettable experience! I want to see Rain in person naman next time. bwehehehe... teka simple pleasure ba 'to? :p

Now, its ur turn. Let me see what you have to say:

• ConCon
• Jacq
  
• Mika
• Mel
• Rhea
• Mrs. Schmuck
  
• Jeanne V.
