Nice To Know You Wednesday 06

November 16, 2011 2 Comments

It has been a looong time since I last posted a NTKYW + I sincerely apologize. Just to let you know am not really this tardy. I guess this mum is just way too preoccupied with things that I have to do online + elsewhere that this meme has to take a backseat for a while. But that is all under the bridge now {I hope} + I welcome you all to this week’s edition of Nice To Know You Wednesday!

First off, I’d like to thank everyone who joined us in the last edition: JadeIngua, Trish, Mitch, Mys, Chie101, + I welcome 2 new participants: Gaylee {a fellow Virgo + good friend of Mommy Mitch} + Shahz {who is the very first participant who put her photo on her post, I love it! :)}. Thanks guys for joining, I do hope more people will join us in the coming weeks.

Now on with our 5 questions of the week:

Post your favorite photo. Why is it your favorite? {Thank you sis Shahz for the inspiration ;)}
What was your last Tweet about?
How many blogs do you own? How do you manage to maintain them all?
What was the last thing you received in the mail? You can post a photo, if desired 🙂
Who sent you the very first message on your inbox?

I do apologize that I am posting my questions a day late this week. This mum has been busy with offline duties that I was not able to schedule a post for this week’s NTKYW edition.

Anyway, on with our 5 questions for the week + since it is my birthday week, I have some birthday queries here that I’d love for you to answer:

How do you usually celebrate your birthday?
This year, what are you planning to do to make your birthday celebration different?
What was the best birthday gift you received ever?
What is your dream birthday celebration {you can elaborate if you wish ;)}?
What are your birthday wishes for this year?

My answers:

I would just normally eat out with Jared’s dad {when Jared’s not yet around} or file vacation from work so I can do whatever I fancy on my big day {which normally includes loads of dosing off, or strolling at the mall or practically doing nothing :)}
I actually wanted to spend a bit of alone-time on my birthday to make it different since I scarcely get any now that I am a mum, I remember spending my last birthday doing some last minute errands for my son’s own birthday celebration {it was a good thing I managed to squeeze in having a pedicure + a much-needed haircut afterwards :)} but I guess more than anything, the most ideal will be to spend it with my little one, maybe we’d eat out + stroll a bit in the mall, which is what I am planning to do this year 🙂
I guess I’ve answered this before, but my answer won’t change my Jared is the best birthday gift I’ve ever had!
A dream birthday celebration will be to be frolicking in the white sands of Boracay {or any beach, for that matter}, barefoot + clad in my swimsuit {which I hope I’ll fit into again or I might just have to buy a new one in a bigger size :(} lazily lounging in the shore sipping a glass of green mango shake + building sandcastles with my little tot {who is clad in his cute swimming trunks :)}.I wish I can afford to do that one day.
For this year {like most years} I wish for good health for myself, my son, his dad + my entire family. I wish for HIS guidance so I can be the best mum that I can ever be. I wish that I’d have the best birthday ever this year. I also wish that I can find more ways to earn my keep online 😉

Now it is your turn to answer these birthday questions, I look forward to reading them 😉

That’s it for now, Jared + I need to be somewhere this afternoon so I pray that it won’t rain. If I get lucky I’ll be able to write more posts later tonight + finish some projects I have on the side.

Have a great Thursday everybody + stay safe 😉

Hello everyone! It is Wednesday once again + it is time for another edition of NKTYW. Before anything else, I’d like to start off with a big thank you to all those who participated last week: sissies Mitch + Shengkay, Chie Wilks, Ice + Jade Ingua. I really had loads of fun reminiscing my preggie days through your entries. Thanks 🙂

Our questions for this week are inspired by this Papemelroti Memo Pad I received during the PMC Grand Eyeball last April. This was given by honorary mommy member, sis Ria.

The questions:

1. Where do you find tranquility?

2. Where do you eat like a horse?

3. Where do you zonk out?

4. Where is your jungle?

5. Where does your joy come from?

My answers:

1. Back in the days I find tranquility in the written pages of my journal where I used to pour in every bit of my thoughts + worries, I also used to find tranquility whenever I am in my Yoga mat coming down from one post to another. Those were my own personal form of prayers + they never fail to comfort me + bring my mind at peace. I so missed those days (When I find the time I’d like to go back to Yoga + do it seriously this time + enroll in a class (I found one near my place a few months back!). Fast forward to now, I guess nothing will ever bring the most tranquility than looking into my little child’s innocent eyes. He is my little piece of heaven here on Earth, my little piece of bliss.

2. I almost eat like a horse all the time, but it is best to do it in the comfort of my own home. It is most comfortable that way + the least expensive, won’t you agree 😉

3. No other perfect place to zonk out apart from my own bed, beside my little man who is sleeping sound like an angel as I write this 🙂

4. My own room is my own little jungle, with nooks + crannies serving as uncharted territories as far as the little man is concern. It can be surprising + lurking with dangerous things at times with unusual suspects lying harmlessly on the floor, that I best keep guard to be sure that the little one is safe all the time.

5. I find joy in the simplest of things: random acts of kindness, a forwarded message or a simple hello from a dear friend I have not seen in a long while, or hearing an old-forgotten favorite song I’ve not heard in a while, + of late, laughter + wails + loads of random wet kisses from my little man 🙂

I’m looking forward to reading your answers. Remember to include the badge (check out the badges here) in your entry + post your linky here. Don’t forget to visit + leave your comment love to other participants as well!

Thanks + Nice to know you! 🙂
