What Leonore Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

I was tagged by Ida, and answering some questions like these is fun...
Here goes;

1. How long have you been blogging?
*　It will be a year come this March 31...at special day din yon para sa akin dahil birthday ng bunso ko yon, and sadly andito pa rin ako sa Japan...waaaaaahhhh! :(

2. What inspired you to write a blog and who are your mentors?
* Something inside me...I have the passion in writing and so that urged me to try and I kinda liked it so much. It's great! An good friend of mine named Angela gave me some pointers, so that helped a lot. And now am enjoying every bit of it!

3. Tell me 3 things that you LOVE about being on-line?
I get to talk at home like now that I am so far away from my kids, I get to know what's happening around the world news-wise, get to learn more, informations are just a click away and meeting a lot of good and sensible people who then become friends in an instance. That makes a lot of sense and happiness.

4. Tell me 3 things that you STRUGGLE within the on-line world.
When my head is as dead as a door nail and no idea of what to post within the day...it sucks. The slow connections either the signal or the computer itself. When my back can't stand anymore and my right elbow joint becomes painful...


Blogging takes 1/4 of my time in a day...sometimes it consumed the rest...
And I do love and enjoy what I'm doing.

Thanks Ida!!
Now am giving this to Racel, Tack, Emz, Makoy and Vera

A much better year ahead!!!

I was tagged by my good friend Makoy. So hard to go over and over my archives what happened during 2007. I am not in my best mood to collate in details but this brief summary can do as much. And so here goes;

Last year, vividly there was a time when my youngest son wasn't home yet when his friend called me and told me that I had to come and see AJ. I went as fast I could, hadn't change my house dress even. Brought him to the nearest hospital. All along I thought it was because of his skateboard...hmmmm...when I overheard him laughing to his friend over the phone. Malokong bunso. They teased pala the dogs in other village...sigh...nauwi kami sa tawanan. At yang si bunso, last year eh maraming gigs. Bata pa pero he's really inclined sa music. A good guitarist in the future, idol niya si Jerry C, Satriani, Santana, and many more. Kaya pag humirit sa akin ng FX...hay naku...sumasakit na ulo ko...kasi imagine na one visitor had tried using his FX and mistakenly put in a higher wattage...instead of 9 he used 12...so it broke down. And he was really upset with what happened.

So far...walang pasaway sa children ko. They all grew up in accordance with how I wish them to be. Some parents take a carrot and stick approach to bringing up their children, but it doesn't work for me. I just talk to them...and they would listen. So everything is settled in a mature manner. Financial-wise, okey ako last year, same now...hopefully...it's hard to be in the hole.

Middle of the year, I had Mishah, then Enzo...they are a bunch of joy to the family because everybody loves them. And we have now Yuki...the white kitten...a foundling... :)

And in the rearmost part of the year, I do remember how some people did upset me so much...so so much! But then again, I still believe in karma. What I wanted to learn now is how to forget everything...and just let it go. But still giving myself time 'coz the bad taste was still left here in my mouth. So they better make every shot count if they still want to earn my respect. But I doubt. They had made my world upside down...but look what happened...they were texting me that they still loved me...they wanted to make amends...sigh...it's kinda splitting a hair. Some people are...now they are their own worst enemy.

It's nice and better when you see the light.

And figuratively...I want now to put a sock in my mouth! Si Makoy kasi eh...lol...joke lang!

But all in all, last year was a better year for me...and I hope this year will be much better...and it is...!!! Thanks heaven!!!
