Behind the “Je m’appelle” July 4, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , 3comments

When I saw an incoming link from Angeleyes last night, I clicked on it almost immediately…more so out of curiosity, really. Lo and behold she had bestowed upon me a meme which required me to display the meaning of my name. And here goes nothing… the words in red are what I think reflects me rather accurately:


What Giddy Tigress Means


You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don’t appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.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 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 the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do.  
What’s Your Name’s Hidden Meaning?

What?  How come so many of you are rolling your eyes skyward?  Hehe…did you think I was gonna reveal my real identity here?

But then no point beating around the bush also la, if you already know my REAL Name, just use the link above and find out the meaning for yourself.

And, as is customary with a tag, this tag goes out to anyone who would like to do it.  Such an easy-peasy one!

Have a great spankin’ weekend, y’all!

frugal is … as frugal gets June 23, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , 11comments

I think frugality is an overrated word. What someone deems as frugal might not be the same in another’s dictionary. But in view of the increase in fuel prices, I definitely need to make concerted efforts to save save save, in addition to the steps my family and I are already taking. Just steering off course for a moment, the first time I filled up my petrol tank with Shell V-Power after the price hike, it cost a whopping RM112.99! Shell V-Power now costs RM3.15 per liter, by the way. And yes, hubbs and I still go for it despite it being more expensive because it is more efficient: a full tank can last us 1.5 weeks, give or take.

Anyway, I was reading Hijack Queen’s frugal tips, and thought I’d put my thoughts on frugality to blog too.

Toned-down shopaholic
Being a shopaholic by nature, it is difficult for me to curb the habit of doing a double take whenever I see something I like, like shoes, clothes, accessories, etc. But I am trying my best to only buy whatever is NEEDED, and not WANTED. It’s a fine line, if you ask me, but I try to use the SALE factor as a benchmark. If something is not on sale, don’t get it YET. When the sale comes along, if it is still available and it is still appealing, then get it. Often times, I have found that my interest in that particular product wanes after some time.

Bargains & discounts
Grocery shopping, on the other hand, is something that cannot be avoided. I do mine every week, and since I am endeavoring to cook more (stay at home to eat = no need to go out to eat = saving on petrol), I pounce on every bargain possible, even in the supermarkets. Just like last week, when I spotted fresh tenggiri fish on sale at 50% off in Jusco. Made a nice assam pedas fish curry too, which hubby gave two thumbs up for. I must add, however, that I will never ever sacrifice the taste of food for the price.

At every store that I shop, I never fail to ask them if there is a discount available for any credit cards or store cards. You never know where you might save. Some people don’t ask for fear of the hassle involved, but my skin is very thick when it comes to this, and at cosmetic counters, I will always ask for samples.

Killing 2 birds with one stone
I like to pride myself in being as environmentally-friendly as possible, and it is even better because by being that, I get to save a bit too. Since my boy is 100% on modern cloth diapers, I don’t need to stock up on disposable diapers now. I don’t even look at the price of Mamy Poko now whenever there is a sale. Also in the same vein as being environmentally friendly, I am also using cloth menstrual pads myself, so I don’t buy disposable ones anymore. A little bit of savings here and there goes a long way, you know. Besides saving moolah, it is also a healthier option.

Keep a tab on finances
I’ve also resurrected my expenditure spreadsheet. This way, I will be aware of how much I spend each month for each category of expenditure. In my bid to spend less, I have started using more cash instead of credit cards, especially for purchases less than RM20. Essentially the same amount of money is spent, but the theory is that if I keep seeing cash disappear from my wallet, I will be inspired to spend less.

Transportation
One of the tips to curb spending is to car pool. And hubbs and I are already doing that. We only have one car (so far), and since our workplaces are just across the street from each other, it makes sense to car pool.

Saving electricity
I’ve also consciously started saving electricity at home. Light not needed in the kitchen, switch it off. Can shower without the light, leave the lights off. My hubby even realized this as he asked me if I was saving electricity. Heh… Sikit sikit la…. In any case, all our bulbs are energy-saving ones, except for the fluorescent light in the kitchen. In the evenings, we don’t use the water heater, which is another means of saving electricity too!

Renovate my wardrobe
I have also recently embarked on a cost-saving fashion tip, by raiding my wardrobe for old clothes I can reuse and wear. By just adding a belt to an old outfit, it jazzes it up and creates a new look altogether. Buys me some time before I get a new one, and also saves money la. Some of my ensembles have received rave comments, actually :lol:

Contests
I enter contests almost every month, in the hope of winning something useful. I remember a few years ago I won 2nd prize in an Estee Lauder contest, which ensured I didn’t need to buy makeup and skincare for almost a year! Now that’s a whole lot of savings indeed!

Pampering treats
In my bid to become more thrifty, I am contemplating going for less facials, maybe once every 3-4 months or so, or maybe none at all. I intend to give myself mini facials at home, and well, of course the feeling is not quite the same, but there has got to be some sacrifice, no? Of course, I don’t even go for pedicures or manicures (the last manicure I had was a French the day before my wedding).

So well…if there are other ways or suggestions as to how much more frugal I can become, without losing my giddy self, please do not hesitate to let me know! And of course, I am tagging anyone and everyone who wants to share a tip or two! :razz:

Fun with fans and rhymes June 13, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , 11comments

My dear ParisB and Andie,
I’ve dillied and dallied
With nary a worry
I almost forgot about my tagging duty

It’s been awhile,
and I think it’s time
I cook up a pretty decent fancy rhyme

The weather’s hot
Rained, it has not
So this is about the fans that call the shots

Five fans in my home
Two manuals and three remotes
Each and every one in a room of its very own

My bedroom, the living
And also the dining
All have a 5-blade silver Cyclone fan on the ceiling

High, Medium and Low
Are settings on the go
But Low is all we ever use, if you really wanna know

The two manual Panasonics
In our guest room and study
Are just your usual run-of-the-mill fans, with no unusual antics

A tag on my fans
That’s going to end
But not before I tag ehon, sasha and wen!

***

Pssst…not as canggih as Adino’s poem, but boleh tahan, yes or not? :lol:

A fantasy I’m dreaming of May 11, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Close to Heart & Home, Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , 14comments

 

It is 8:00a.m.  I stir myself awake, still in a daze but very much aware of the clattering of cutlery in the dining area outside.  I stifle a yawn, stretch and turn over and it was then that I realize hubbs and Ethan were not in bed already.  I quickly got up, brush my teeth and wash up, and as I wipe my face dry, the aroma of freshly made pancakes and waffles greeted me.  With a smile, I waltz into my dining room, where I saw that my darling hubby had made me a breakfast fit for a queen princess!

Both the boys gave me a hug, wished me a Happy Mother’s Day and we had a terrific breakfast together.  We then got ready for church and had a really enjoyable service there.  All the mommies present were given a rose each, as a token of the celebration for Mother’s Day.

We then headed for the beach where we were gonna have a family picnic.  Hubbs had packed a basketful of goodies which included most of my favorite food items like chicken pie, cheese cake, Twisties and oh yeah, some pink guava juice too.  The weather was slightly cloudy with just the right amount of sun.  Perfect to acquire a tan. Which I took full advantage of :) After a couple of hours playing with the waves, building sandcastles and having nothing but fun, we headed for home for our afternoon siesta.

We woke up just in time for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.  Ethan was on his bestest behavior that night, obediently sitting in his baby chair and eating all by himself.  Not a single crumb of food was dropped.  Of course, for me, margarita was part of what I ordered for dinner too! :)

And then we came back home, and got ready for bed.  I read Ethan his bedtime story, Jack and the Beanstalk, gave him a kiss and tucked him into bed.  He looked up at me, reciprocated the kiss and said, “I love you Mommy!  You’re the best Mommy ever!  Happy Mother’s Day!”

Oh yeah, and before I called it a night, hubbs gave me a massage, complete with soothing essential oils and calming music.

Bliss.

Was that good enough a fantasy, SlaveMom?

Ah well, I did go to church today though.  And although I didn’t get that rose, I got a pink carnation and a mini brocade case from Mama’s Nyonya restaurant when we dined there for lunch.  Better than nothing la.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you awesome mommies out there!  May all your wishes come true!

And a very Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama, the queen of my heart and soul!  You’re da best!  I’m so glad I get to spend Mother’s Day with you this year! *grin*  Thank you for the freshly harvested sweet sweet persimmons you brought back from Perth too!  Y-U-M!

Oh, and also a special shoutout to Adino’s wife, Poey Chin, who just qualified to celebrate her very first Mother’s Day!  Congratulations Adino and Poey Chin, on the arrival of little Rachel!

Now, since it’s already Mother’s Day today, I’m gonna twist this tag a wee bit and give a chance to the daddies instead to fantasize about Father’s Day coming up in June.  Fair, no?

Hereby tagging:

Don’t hold back. Let it rip! Will you share your Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Fantasies on your blog? Then pass it on to other Mothers/Fathers to share. Let’s be silly and let our hair down. Then add your name and blog post url to the list and let it go around. I’ll start with mine. Anyone can participate in this. Just write your blog post and add your name to the list. It’s that simple.

Dandelion dream alphas from A work in progress 

Aiyo, I missed this dateline by a week liao.  According to this meme, I am supposed to post my entry a week after being tagged on a Friday, and I was tagged by the bento-crazy DSLR-maniac Hijack Queen some 2 weeks ago!  Eeeek.  Anyway, at least I am posting this on a Friday. :)

DO YOU PREFER…

1. To watch or participate?
Lazy Smart people like me WATCH and learn, and then selectively participate.

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
Must I only choose ONE?  I love ALL of those options.  Don’t you know that I am a kaki shopping?  Hence, I must live up to my name la.  Seriously though, it really depends on what I am shopping for.  I’d even go to the extent of shopping in all options available, weighing the pros and cons before I land myself the perfect bargain.  That’s the kaki shopping for ya.  … and men think we women take so long to shop!

3. A bath or shower?
A shower with full blast bursts of water.  Even better if there is a massage function in the nozzle.  Works wonders on the nape of the neck, y’know.  My usual routine now is to have a cold shower every night before bed.  The cold water keeps me alert enough to have have a quick read before I hit the sack.  And my skin never felt better.

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
Email, because I get to phrase everything out the way I want it, I get to use the backspace and delete key and then I have a black and white proof of what I sent and what replies I get.  Trust me, emails have come in handy for me all the time.  The downside to this is that *sometimes* people don’t really get what you mean.  Someone called me up sometime back and asked if I was angry with regards to the email I sent out.  I told him no, but he said that I sounded angry from the email.  However, no matter how I reread my email, I just couldn’t pinpoint where he misconstrued the anger.

5. Typing or writing?
Writing by typing.

And I am tagging:

Have a good weekend y’all!  And oh yeah, here’s wishing all mommies out there a fantastic Mother’s Day this Sunday!

Mystical superhero fantasy April 11, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , 15comments

I missed getting tagged by her, but because she lately had a bout of NBTB, I was yet again given the honor by Rinnx! I’m really afraid she will use her telekinetic energy to move all my stuff away fast fast, so I had better do this real quick before she gets to me.


Photo credits

1. Superhero power I want
Shapeshifting. Just like the superpowers possessed by Mystique. I have always been intrigued by her, even though she is on the baddie side. Wouldn’t hurt if I had her body too, ya know…

2. Why?
Originally I wanted to choose the telepathy power or the invisibility power, but I figured if I could shape-shift, I could be in a room where no one would know of my existence and then I would be able to know what everyone was discussing. Not what they were thinking though. Unless they think out loud. Plus, don’t you think Mystique is sexay?!!

3. Downside of this power
People might not trust who I am, because they might perceive me as changing all the time. And I might lose track of who I really am, if I do it too often.

4. My superhero nickname
Stealth (I originally thought of Tigrex but it sounded too much like T-Rex). If there are any other better suggestions, you are most welcome to let me know.

5. My motto
I’m watching. And my theme song is “Every Breath You Take”.

6. Sworn enemy
Hypocrites. With this super power of mine, I can shape shift into anything I want just so I can find out what these people are up to.

7. Official vehicle
I can shapeshift into any vehicle of my choice, depending on my mood. Beemer, Jaguar, Toyota Highlander?

8. Day job
Fashion consultant. I can change my image, my attire, my haircut, my shoes and handbag as often as I want to suit the season’s latest fashion.

I had fun doing this meme. Anyone else wanna play? What about:

Paris
iamthewitch
Paik Ling
Wen
Health Freak Mommy

** included by special request: Wuching ** ~ can’t wait to read yours!

All red, all ong, yeehaaa!! March 4, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Relax & Celebrate , 14comments

Although red is one of my favorite colors, I have not been wearing a lot of it lately. And this being tagged by Slavemom has reminded me of that. I don’t know why myself. Maybe I just didn’t take any photos of myself in red that much anyway. Too bad I can’t tell from photos what color underwear I am wearing though, otherwise…

Anyway, my hunt for a photo of myself garbed in red finally resulted in this one, taken sometime mid of last year. Aiya, already posted in Ethan’s blog, no need to post again, kua…? Coincidentally, Ethan was dressed to match my outfit (and so was my hubby). Yes, we like to plan these little little things… hehe…This was a red cheongsam I had tailormade for Chinese New Year some years ago, and thankfully can still fit into.

But to satisfy the requirements for this tag, I MUST put up a picture of someone in RED, yes? Ethan looks good in red…so here’s an oldie but goodie, taken when he was only 4 months’ old. This was one of his favorite rompers and I love seeing him in it.

Okay, now who’s up for more ONG ONG Red??? Must tag:

Simple American - how not to tag the birthday boy?
Rinnah - always a good taggee
Paik Ling - because I finally spoke to you today!

START COPY HERE

Here are the rules:

1. Post YOUR photo wearing red, may it be a red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if you hate wearing red… If you can’t find one, you still have an option. Either post your Significant Other’s photo or your child’s photo, if you have one. Of course, they should be wearing red.

2. Let us know the reason why you were wearing red that particular day. Was it your birthday? Is red your fave color or was it the shirt that you first saw in your closet that day?

3. Tag 3 people close to your heart. By the way, they have to be in your blogroll. No cheating heart pleaseeeeeeee!

4. Once you’re tagged, could we please keep it going - just for this month?

END HERE.

And, finally…here’s wishing Simple American the very best birthday ever! Miss reading your posts…please make a comeback to the blogosphere!

Five giddy tigressy things February 29, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , 10comments

Amazing how the internet and specifically blogging keeps us all in contact, so much so that a friend of mine, who recently left my company for greener pastures elsewhere, still found time to give me this friendship award.  Thanks dearie!

And if that ain’t enough, she bestowed on me another tag, one that is rather inquisitive, I would say, for it asks for five facts about me.
*drumroll please!*

 

Fact Number ONE

My husband thinks I have a condition known as hoarding, and he calls me a hoarder. I beg to differ. It’s just that I feel an emotional attachment to everything I own or anything people give me. Things I can’t bring myself to throw away include:

And I also used to keep all the flowers I have ever received…well, up to the point when they started growing mould, of course. My hubby, on the other hand, is a *thrower*, and loves throwing things away. A case of opposites attracting, don’t you think?

Fact Number TWO

I have a penchant for good customer service, especially in restaurants where they charge me SERVICE TAX. In fact I have had rather strange experiences with these service people, the recent one being at Friday’s in Queensbay Mall.

Me (ordering food) : …and my boy will have a plate of the chicken spaghetti.
Waitress: Chicken or beef, ma’am?
Me (staring at her blankly): I just told you CHICKEN spaghetti, right?

Their “chicken or beef” response is a typical textbook response to anyone who orders spaghetti. I order it all the time for Ethan, so I know. I had wanted to cut to the chase by specifying the exact option I wanted, but obviously she wasn’t listening.

Later that night, while my hubby and I were chatting away, the same (dumb) waitress came from nowhere, dumped a plastic bag of takeaway food on our table, right in front of us, and walked off without saying a word. It was only after we had called her back that she realized it was for the table next to ours. Well, the least she could do was to say *something* when she dropped the package, right?

Fact Number THREE

I feel the need to fold every item that comes out of the washer before I use it. Be it an article of clothing, a piece of hanky or the bedsheet, everything needs to be folded first, whether or not they will be ironed and hung up later. I was brought up to believe that if I wear clothes that weren’t folded beforehand, I would end up stupid. Hey..maybe this belief bears some truth to it, you know…8A’s in the SPM? Eh? Eh?  *nudge* *grin*

Fact Number FOUR

I pride myself in successfully breastfeeding Ethan for two years. It was a long arduous journey filled with ups and downs but I can finally pat myself on the back and give myself a treat for a job well done. Nowadays, I tend to be the breastfeeding consultant to people whom I come into contact with, most recently my two sisters-in-law. I tend to be naggy when it comes to breastfeeding though, but hey, it’s something I am very passionate about…… breastfeeding, not nagging.

Fact Number FIVE

Come this March 8th, I will be doing my duty as a citizen of Malaysia by casting my vote.  Irks me to no end when I find out there are people who can’t be bothered to vote, or some can’t even be bothered to register themselves as voters!  I’m not talking about people who just hit 21, but these are 30-year olds!  All the time in the world to go for movies, shopping, clubbing, but can’t even find a few minutes to register as voters!  Sheesh!! This would mean they would have already missed out on two general elections!  SIGH…anyway…just letting off some steam here.

Oh yeah, must remember to pass this tag on. So I am tagging:

Rinnah
Paris
Sting

Pretty memories of a bun January 24, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Parenting & Motherhood , 16comments

Last Tuesday evening, we had dinner at Queensbay Mall. As we were walking in the lower ground level, right next to where the New Zealand Natural Ice Cream booth is, what should greet our eyes but this:

Penang was finally gonna have a Rotiboy of our own. All the mexican buns that we can get. When it opens, the entire lower ground level of Queensbay Mall will be infused with the aroma of Mexican buns, I’m sure. I had my first taste of Rotiboy Mexican buns back in 2003, when I attended a training in Kuala Lumpur. I tell you, it was a blessing that the training was held in the Petronas Twin Towers right next to Suria KLCC, so I got to stay a few nights at the Mandarin Oriental. Ha..but that’s another story altogether.

Anyway, we were provided with snacks for tea during our training, and one of the snacks we had was a Mexican bun from Rotiboy. That’s when I absolutely fell in love with it. Let me tell you though, that I am not a coffee person, so it was rather surprising to me that I actually loved the Mexican bun. Had to be eaten warm though; if taken cold, it feels really oily and gross.

Since that day, I would crave for the Rotiboy Mexican bun so bad that I had to have at least one every time I go to KL. We once made a special trip to Low Yat Plaza to get some too.

I always wondered why there was not a single Rotiboy stall in Penang though, and I contemplated opening one here myself at one point, but alas someone has beaten me to it! Funny thing is when I found out about the impending opening of the Rotiboy outlet in Queensbay Mall the other day, I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be. Perhaps I’m not as crazy about the mexican bun as I was before. Perhaps my tastebuds have changed. Perhaps it was a case of “Out of sight, out of mind”. Perhaps it was because mexican buns gave me a sore throat the last time I had them. Or perhaps it is motherhood that has changed me, in that I have to eat as healthily as possible in order to be a good exemplary figure for Ethan. Perhaps perhaps perhaps…

Incidentally, I recently read a short and sweet not-quite-poemlike thingy about motherhood, which actually started out as an email but someone converted it into a tag called the pretty mommy tag. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t a bunch of blablablas though, and as I read it, I found myself agreeing to most of the statements because I had experienced them myself. Aptly titled “Before I was a Mom”, it was an eye-opening account of how motherhood transforms someone, and I realized how much I had learnt and changed in the span of the two years that I have embraced motherhood.

The rule to the e-mail was that, once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms, including the one who thought of you today & sent it to you. The idea is that if you get hit again, You will know you are really pretty!

So I thought lets just turn this into a tag instead. But that “hit” part won’t work very well in a tag. So instead of giving a “hit” to the one who tag you, you add your name at the bottom of the tagged persons list, and without bumping the person at the top or bumping anyone off and let the list grow.
Hit 5 pretty moms on your list to let them know they are pretty!

Before I was a Mom

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom

I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom -

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Here’s the first chain of tags :
1. Lovelymummy
2. Pek Imm
3. Momisodes
4. Ling that’s me

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , 15comments

Of course can lah! When Simon talks, the world listens. And when he tags me, I do the tag. As fast as I can, no questions asked. Maiden tag, samo, you know.

What is your blogging name?
giddy tiger, or if I am veering on the wilder side… giddy tigress. Roooooarrrrrrllllll!!

When did you start blogging, exact date?
July 9th 2006. That’s the date of my first post, although it was really written a few days later than that. It wasn’t for this blog though, but for Ethan’s blog.

What was your first title?
You mean the title of my first post?  That would be “Roll Over!” to commemorate the day Ethan made a successful roll over :)

Which posting do you feel is the best post so far?
I honestly don’t know, and I try my best to inject something unique into every post I publish.

Who promotes/is the source of inspiration for you to blog?
Well, it started with Ethan, so he is my inspiration… and of course, he still is.. For my personal blog, anything and everything that gets my mind working is a blogging inspiration.

When dya usually post entries?
Any time I get an entry ready.  Any time inspiration hits.

Where would you prefer to be when you are blogging?
Sitting by a pristine lake, with only the sound of chirping birds to accompany me and my laptop, and the smell of nature to tease my senses… oh assuming this place has wi-fi coverage.

Have you met other bloggers? Who?
Some of my colleagues blog and I have bumped into several others in the malls.  Most of the bloggers I know by voice or email only.

How many entries you made in a month?
In this blog?  About 2-3 entries a week, more if I am industrious and hardworking enough.

Would you reveal your face or your family in your blog? Why?
Yes, I would because I would like people to connect the moniker to a face.  I don’t do it all the time though.

Would you promote your friends to blog? Why?
