I got two of these nominations/awards, how can I decline? 😉 Thanks to Sally Mae of The Budget Fashion Seeker and Claire of My Thoughts Scrawled In Pink for them awards! 😀
.
Together with accepting, several tasks must be done, namely:
- Link back to the blog that nominated you.
- Nominate 5-11 new blogs with fewer than 200 followers.
- Answer the questions posted for you by your nominator.
- Share 11 random facts about yourself.
- Create 11 questions for your nominees
- Contact your nominees and let them know you nominated them.
.
So I’ve already linked back to the two lovely ladies in the first paragraph. Now here are my nominations:
.
Since the two posted different sets of questions, I’ll just answer a mix from the combined set. Here goes:
- What made you decide to create your blog? It’s been quite a while since I started this but let’s see. I have been inconsistently blogging for about a decade now, and this is I think my fourth or fifth blog. I was tired of Blogger so I switched platforms. That’s pretty much about it. Oh, and I don’t do niche blogs. Mine are more just online collections of my thoughts and sometimes rants.
- Do you cook? If you want to get technical, then yes, I cook. Meaning, I can fry, grill and occasionally turn out a decent kaldero of rice. Sometime I dabble in no-bake pastries. I can whip up a mean tuna spaghetti. But that’s about the extent of my culinary skills.
- Is your career right now something you’ve imagined when you were young? Not really. Truth is I was not exactly the most ambitious of kids, and I was not ever really sure of what I wanted to be when I grow up.
- What is your dream vacation? I initially thought of Bellarocca Island Resorts and Spa, but then I realized I hate direct sunlight so a beach vacation would be moot. Now, I have always dreamed of experiencing real now so it’ll be a Disneyland trip while snowing, with the BF and Francine.
- Who is your celebrity crush? There are several actually. For males: Joseph Manganiello, Kit Harrington as Jon Snow, Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth. Yeah, I like them all nice and buff. Yum! Lol. For females: Angelina Jolie, Tanit Phoenix, Megan Fox, Shakira, Beyonce and Angel Locsin.
- What are you most passionate about? Aside from the BF and Francine, it would have to be reading, hands down.
- Do you prefer doing things alone or with a companion? I am solitary by nature so there you go. I can shop, eat out, even watch a movie all alone. Companion/s are just a bonus, but I am perfectly capable of enjoying those things by my lonesome.
- What are your comfort foods? Pizza! Chocolates! Junk foods particularly Piattos!
- Have you ever sacrificed something for the sake of a loved one? Yes.
- What is your all time favorite movie? 300. Just so cool.
- What is the biggest life goal you want to accomplish? Raise my kid/s right, never have them lacking for anything.
.
Now here are the random facts about myself:
- All through college, I wore only black shirts as a statement of sorts. I was also in that angst-y stage wherein I was chronically depressed and lovin’ it.
- I read each of the Harry Potter books in a day or less.
- I wear contact lenses because I have myopic (near-sighted) eyes. Left grade is +5.50 and right is +3.75 last time I had them checked.
- My hair was down past my butt at its longest before.
- I have two girl best friends, and we go way back third grade.
- Back in fourth year high school, I became part of an all-girls band formed just to compete in the Battle of the Band for the Sports Fest. I played lead guitar, and drums for our warm-up song. Thankfully we won, second place, and got the Best Keyboardist award.
- The BF and I were classmates during first and fourth year high school but we didn’t get together until college. Which is ironic since we went to different schools. But we were best friends during our high school senior year.
- I used to dream of becoming a race car driver.
- My feet are a mere size 5 1/2. Sometimes 5 or 6, depending upon the shoe.
- Got my first kiss on June 20, 2003. 😉
- I do not eat vegetables with the sole exception of balatong.
.
And finally my questions to those I’ve tagged:
- What are you feeling at the moment?
- Do you prefer books or movies?
- What type of music do you like?
- Who taught you the most important lesson you’ve ever learned?
- Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
- How many active blogs do you keep at the moment?
- Is your high school crush still crush-able now?
- What is your dream car?
- What five adjectives best describe you?
- What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
- Have you found the love of your life?
.
There you have it. Hope you guys learned a little bit of something about me. Looking forward to your own little tidbits of info should you decide to accept the award. 😉
