weekly meme, ntkwy, nice to know you wednesday, online q+a

Time again for another round of Nice To Know You Wednesday + before anything else, I would like to thank my 3 participants from last week: Mommy Gagay, Gaylee, + Fe. Much thanks! ^_^

With that out of the way, here are the 5 interesting questions {I hope they will be interesting enough for you to join in ;)} of the week:

  1. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
  2. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
  3. What was the last thing you bought?
  4. Who sent the last text message you received?
  5. What did you do for your last birthday?
I don’t know what’s gotten into me, but questions about lasts seem like a great set of queries to answer this gloomy Wednesday morning, here are my answers:
  1. We managed to step outside yesterday + catch up with MV Logos Hope before it leaves for Subic yesterday. I shall post about it on my travel blog soon as I got the chance 🙂
  2. About a dozen Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes that my son is currently absolutely crazy about!
  3. I bought a book, stack of postcards + other souvenir items from MV Logos Hope yesterday.
  4. Jared’s dad
  5. For my last birthday, a Sunday, we had a late lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, our first time to eat there. I love the pizza + the pasta, most especially the pumpkin soup, which is also my little man’s favorite. 🙂
Check here for the simple rules of the game + for other badges, too! I look forward to reading your answers, I also hope you visit the other participants + don’t forget to drop your links here 🙂

Nice To Know You Wednesday

Before anything else, today is International Women’s Day, so I am giving a shout out to all the mums + all the wonderful women out there! 🙂

Now, time again for another round of Nice To Know You Wednesday questions, sorry that I am posting it a day’s late as my PC is acting up on me again + I wonder whether I really need to get a new one {I just hope not, since I cannot afford it just yet :(}

Questions of the week:

  1. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
  2. Do you touch-type?
  3. Is there anything going on this weekend?
  4. What time do you get up in the morning?
  5. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

My answers:

  1. 1. It will probably be a choice between a children’s apparel shop, like Big + Small, Co. or Osh Kosh B’gosh + I don’t think I can resist hoarding on books + postcards at the bookstore, either! 😀
  2. I seldom touch-type as I have learned the art of typewriting {yep, with my fingers stationed at the home keys, or ASDF keys, all the time} in High school, plus it is faster to do in the right way, too!
  3. I shall be checking out Expo Kid with the little man this Saturday, it is the first time we are going + I am so looking forward to it. I just hope it won’t rain + Jared’s mild cough will go away soon.
  4. I normally get up at 2.30 in the morning, my son requests for milk at the time so I automatically wake up the sooner he says “mum,” it is also ideal to get some online work done while the little tot is fast asleep 🙂
  5. I have always been nocturnal + really had loads of trouble waking up early, it was only when I became mum that I managed to wake up real early in the morning to tend to my baby + for some reasons, the habit is stuck!

I cannot wait to read your take on those 5 questions, do link up with us + visit the other participants {if any participated, at all!} too. Check out the previous Nice To Know You’s + the other badges here 🙂

nice to know you wednesday + leap years

Today is one of those days that happen only once in 4 years + I guess being that it is so rare, it is that much of a big deal, them leap years! The people born today are celebrating their rare birthdays, too, + to that I send my greetings! Cheers! 😀

Today is also that time of the week again for Nice To Know You Wednesday + before I go on to our 5 interesting questions of the day, here is the winner for last week’s little giveaway:

congratulations, sis Mys! 😀

I am glad that one of the NTKYW regulars won! Congratulations, sis! I will send you an e-mail for instructions. + thanks to all who participated!

Okay, on to our 5 questions, I would love to read your endearing answers to these queries:

  1. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go?
  2. Where did you grow up?
  3. What is the last thing you watched on the tellie?
  4. What kind of car do you drive?
  5. Where would you retire?

My answers:

  1. There are just so many places I’d want to see if I have enough means + resources to travel, among them: Boracay, Puerto Princesa, Sagada, CamSur + a bunch of other beautiful destinations in our country, + Rome, to sample loads of pasta + pizza + visit the Pope, any island in the Carribean, England, to visit some of the interesting landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, The London Eye, London High Street + Princess Diana’s resting place. I would love to go to the US, too, to visit Disney World + the Harry Potter Theme Park. Oh, how I wish…:D
  2. I grew up in the same city, although in a different barrio here. It was a small barangay + all the people either know everyone else or are blood-related. It was a quiet place in the province, where we’d fly kites or ride our bikes with Papa on Sunday afternoons. I miss those laid back days + I sure miss being a kid!
  3. We were watching Pinoy Big Brother last night before we decided to call it a day. Although I enjoy the excitement that goes around the house, I especially love watching Tin, Biggle, Slater + Carlo, one character is actually getting into my nerves + I don’t think I can be as diplomatic as his housemates if I were there + he threw the antic at me! 🙂
  4. Fortunately I do not drive one {so why did I ask this question again? :)} but if I could, I’d go for one of those hybrid cars, like a Toyota Prius, perhaps.
  5. If I could, I would love to retire somewhere near the beach {so I can go swimming, jogging + do yoga by the shore!} with a little cottage and an organic garden patch on the side. Am not sure if I can afford to purchase a parcel of that land in this lifetime, though, so, I guess I can settle anywhere I can harness my budding green thumb {if I ever got one!} + grow my own tomatoes + stuff, with loads of greens in the horizon, a wide space where I can run + walk in the morning, + yep, don’t forget, a strong internet connection, so I can still update this mum blog, which is most probably a grandmum’s blog by then! 😉
I am looking forward to reading your answers, do link up here, right? + visit the other participants’ entries, too, to make it twice the fun 😉
