Friday 5 #4

1. What non-food items are in your refrigerator or freezer?

Haha! Well I have my daughter's vitamins, toothbrush and toothpaste in the fridge. Also an eye dropper. But they're in one small basket.

2. What non-book items are on your bookshelves?

My daughter's sing and roll toy from her daddy.

3. What song or album in your music collection doesn’t fit in with your usual tastes?

Ohhh.. now that you asked that. I was surprised to hear the song, Can't Be with You Tonight by Judy Bounce, in my player. I'm not so sure where it came from.

4. What item in your wardrobe really doesn’t match anything else?

A blouse my sister was begging for a long time for me to throw. Hahaha! she said I look something else when I was wearing it. Honestly I know all about it but I like it just because of the prints. It reminds me of my childhood. I just don't know which part LOL!

5. What scar on your body did you receive in the unlikeliest of ways?

That would be a small (not really a scar) on my forehead because of chicken pox.

Friday 5 #3

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your most embarrassing (physical) stumble?

haha! It happned when I was in my last year of college, actually twice it happened. The first one was when my classmates and I were in the mall to have our lunch (the mall was beside our university). I was looking for the menus on the big black decorated boards of  some of the restaurants and I'm walking sideways. I didn't notice that I was on the edge of the stair and down I fell on the three step stairs. Yay! So emabrrassing really because there were people who were coming from the outside of the mall and they were shock at what happened to me.

2. As summer winds down and autumn makes its approach, what are you most looking forward to in the changing of the seasons?

You know, here in the Philippines we only have two seasons, the rainy and the summer seasons. Basically when it's summer heat, it's really summer - very very hot, and when it's raining it's pouring. I hope to have a season in between the two..

3. What’s something you’ve recently fallen for?

Literally? Haha! Actually I fell in love with Beastly when I saw the movie yesterday and so I'm so excited for the weekend to come so I can buy the book :)

4. Of what has there been a shortfall in your life recently?

just about some unmet expectations..

5. Has there been any kind of windfall in your life in the past few months?

Yeah, my sister suffered from slight depression last month, but I thank God for she's doing fine now..

Friday 5 #2

1. What was your best summer vacation like?

sometimes we'll spend our vacation in our ancestral house in Laguna with some of my cousins and siblings, but that was a very long time ago..

2. What was your worst summer vacation like?

In my younger years:

on that same house haha! Actually it was the last vacation we had there. I was having a good time and so as my siblings and cousins. It was I think our fourth day of stay there when my siblings and one of my cousins who live with us were scolded by my aunt. I can't remember the reason why but my aunt was so furious (or that was too harsh?) that she drove them back to Manila. Geez I was left there with my other cousins who live in that house. That was worst because I was left there and it only meant that 'party' was over..

When I graduated in college:

So I was working then and alas! Summer came. So my sister planned an overnight swimming (I think). I was so excited because I love swimming -it's part of being who I am- so much! So it's settled then that my husband (boyfriend then) will come and join us. It was already midnight when I went to the pool. I was floating, then I decided to do the butterfly style when I reached the other side of the pool. I thought something hit me on my shoulder when I realized that my SHOULDER was in front of me! It was dislocated.. Ouch! So much pain I though I have less than an hour to live so I told my brother not to leave me. Hahaha! He knew what I was going through because he also had his arm dislocated a few years back..

3. What food or drink reminds you of a particular summer?
Halo-Halo..

4. What summer-only activity do you now look most forward to every year?

swimming, camping, Daily Vacation Bible School. But I'm just starting a family and my daughter will just turn one, so I was hoping to go to Disneyland soon :)

5. What summer movie or summer reading are you most looking forward to this year?

summer here in the Philippines has just ended although not the heat. But I am looking forward to watching X-Men First Class, I think it's a good movie :)
