Meme Award

I have another award post for today. This time, it came from fellow Mommy Blogger, Golden. Thanks Sis for always remembering me.

What does meme mean? In the context of web logs / ‘blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it’s some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. Then someone else sees them and does them and so on and so on.*
Here are the rules of acceptance:

Acknowledge the person who sent you the award.
Nominate 7 other blogs.
Share your 7 personality traits so we can get to know you better.

Let me break the rules here and start answering number 3 first.

I am a loving wife.
I am a patient and loving mommy.
I am a learner. I like learning new things. I like exploring things.
I am an extrovert. I like to believe that I am easy with people. I can easily get along in a new crowd.
I am resilient. I am very adaptable to change.
I am kind-hearted. Pusong mamon as they say.
I am sort of techie. Have you read it on this blog?

Ok, that was short and sweet, eh? Now, let me see. Of all the gorgeous people in my blog roll, let’s get to know these people more, shall we?

Humane Award

I got this award early August from Czaroma of A Woman Remembers but as you may noticed, it took a while before I was able to post it. Thanks, Sis!

Being humane is characterized by tenderness, compassion, and sympathy for people and animals, esp. for the suffering or distressed. Source: Dictionary.com

I’ve always seen myself act so motherly even when I was a child. That’s probably because I’m the eldest daughter and caring for my siblings is something I got so used to since both my parents are working. Thanks to them, I’ve grown like this. I don’t mean to be a braggart here but I’m sure people who know me well can attest to this.

I still believe that if everyone will be compassionate to each other, there is a huge chance to change this world. It is never too late to CHANGE.

Now, to keep spreading this call to be Humane, I’m passing this ward to the following:

Chyng of No Spam, No Virus, No Kiddin’! and

Guilty!

I’ve been thinking during my commute this morning to the office, I can never live a, for the lack of better term, luxurious life. Not because I cannot, like I don’t have the means. Hey, I work as a corporate slave right? LOL! The thing is, after I give into my whims, which I only did, major one, this year, I get a lot of guilty feelings.

It probably has something to do with being the eldest in the family. Do you think so? I probably got used to thinking about the might-be future expenses. That’s so me! And you know, sometimes, that value causes me heartaches! I most of the time, if not always, think A LOT before spending money, small amount or not. This is because I cannot say when we’ll need extra so that all of us can go to school and back home. Yep, that’s the life I lived.

After buying the his and hers watch for our anniversary, we had a couple of expenditures that we cannot disregard as they involve ULY, our car. Last night, I learned there is another upcoming expenditure. I know we don’t always give in to our whims, specially me. I’ve always thought I’m spending wisely. But why do I feel guilty after?
