Make Love, Not War

Got this tag from Bittersweet Collide (Alexis).

War has always been around us, but that doesn't mean that we can't stop it. Every effort (whether it's earth shattering, or not) means a lot to everyone.

Personally, what's important is that we make the effort to stop senseless violence around us and instead try to focus on the good things that we can do.

Tagging the following bloggers, who, I hope, will continue this ...

8 stuffs about me ...

I got tagged by blueblue from My Spot with Pots, to write 8 things about me that you didn't know meme ... I just did a similar tag (three posts below); but it required seven things about me, not eight, so I'll do this one! :)

Here are the rules:

* Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
* Share 8 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
* Tag 8 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
* Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Eight Things About Me That You Didn't Know ....

1. My weight is 61Kg ... that makes me about three kilograms more than my ideal weight. (And I thought I was fat when I was in high school! lol)
   
2. I wore prescription glasses since my high school freshman years.
3. I fell off a horse once ... lol. Funny, really, since the horse wasn't galloping, or anything. I got the horse on a slow walk. I just didnt put the saddle right! I didn't want to tighten it too much! Good thing the horse just stayed put while I detangled myself from the saddle ... :D
4. I get scared easily at times (ghosts and stuffs), but I love watching horror movies. :D
5. I came from a large family... two brothers and six sisters.
   
6. I got married last May 1998. Whoa ... almost a decade ago ... !!
7. I've been blogging "heavily" only since August of this year (2007) ... and I've met lots of interesting people online already!
8. I would love to be able to visit Africa someday! :)
   

Guess that's it!

Like in my previous meme/tagged post, no idea who to pass this on to; but if any kind "lurker" would love to do this tag, then all they have to do is to make a comment here and tell me so that I can go and pay them a visit! :)

Many thanks for this tag, blueblue! :)

Seven

I've been tagged by Bonggamom ... I'm supposed to write here seven random/weird stuffs about myself. Loved her post about Filipino Foods ... it made me hungry, though ...

... and I just finished lunch! LOL

Here are the rules:

* Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
* Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
* Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
* Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here are my seven thingies ...
Seven Things that Should Always Be Inside My Refrigerator!
yeah, kind of lame, but .... ;P

1. I must always have eggs; for those instant quick-fix meals when a hungry kid or hubby arrives.
2. Ground pork, packed in serving sizes; no need to thaw all of the meat when I need only a small portion. Saves time and energy, as well as preserving the unused portion of the meat longer.
3. Cheddar cheese! But of course, I am also open to other kinds of cheese varieties, though not so much the blue cheese. lol.
4. Fresh milk ... our son loves that!
5. Vegetables, like squash and native pechay.
6. Butter, since my son loves them on his pancakes. Sometimes I use them while cooking, too.
7. Calamansi .... we must always have this. It's our main source of vitamin C! :)
   

Interestingy, we normally don't put water (for cold water) inside the refrigerator. Hey, that's another "weird" thing about me! LOL

Thanks for the tag, Bonggamom!

I have no idea who to tag, but if any kind "lurker" is around and interested to play, then just leave me a comment and I'll go check out your answers! ;)

Have a nice day, everyone!
