To all readers of this blog, I am sincerely asking for your help. I have joined this contest for this year's Independence Day dubbed as Kalayaan2007.

Anyhow, all I'm asking you to do is go to this link and go click on that star. It's as simple as that.

To all who have already voted for my blog entry, thank you so much! And to all who are going to still vote for my entry, thank you din! And if you have voted for me, leave me a comment so I can send you my link love. Thanks again!

Appetizer: Name a funny habit you have.
I don't know. I'm not so sure if I do have one (or maybe I do but I don't actually just know it.) Anyway, maybe I'll just declare that each time I hear something quite trivial or controversial, I can hear two voices inside my head squealing the two sides of that issue. (MPD, anyone?)

Soup: If you could instantly know how to play a musical instrument, which one would you pick?
Drums.

Salad: How long is your hair?
Around the middle of my back.

Main Course: When was the last time you forgave someone, and who was it?
I think it was Dennis, a friend from Manila. We have not been in good terms before during my pregnancy. Well, maybe I have forgiven him already ages ago but it was just recently that we had actually communicated and forgave each other. Oh you know. Pride.

Dessert: What is your favorite kitchen appliance? 
Haha. Please don't ask me this. I don't actually cook. So well, maybe I'll say the refrigerator? 

And so I asked for an interview. And so she sent me my interview questions. So here I am, answering those questions. Quite simple Qs but thought-provoking if I can call them such. Nice questions Mats! 


1. What's the difference between needing a person and loving someone?
Well, for me, needing a person can be like needing something material. You just like to have it because you need it. After you use it, your interest in it would be gone. As for loving, now that is something different. Love is difficult to explain. So maybe I can say that it is unconditional. When you need a person, you don't necessarily love him. But if you love someone, you most certainly need him but needing him is only one of the major factors. (I know I'm sounding very vague here. Well, maybe. I really don't know how to differentiate the two. As Winona said in Reality Bytes, "I know it when I see it.")

2. How do you value friendship?
Oh I value friendship a lot. I have experienced though with a couple of my friends that despite different love lives and love interests, despite time and distance, and despite anything else that happens, they are still there. Some of my worst experiences really did help me see who're going to be there for you and who'll start walking away from you. And I do appreciate that a lot. At least, now I know.

3. Are you willing to sacrifice for love?
Love for my son, yes. I am willing to sacrifice. He came from me and he's part of me. And my love for him is totally unconditional. So I can say that I really would sacrifice for him if need be. However, if we're talking about sacrificing for love of a lover, that I am not sure I would do. Well, I have done sacrificing a lot of what I had to offer before and it just did not turn out good in the end. So maybe I'm still smarting right now thinking about that that I am not willing to do it again. Maybe. I honestly can't give a sure answer on that one.

4. How do you spend time with your kid?
Since I am usually out, I do try to spend time with my son before I go out in the morning or when I go home in the afternoon. I also try to have a "date" with my son during my weekend when I am free. During work days, I would play with my son in the morning before I go to the office. He would sometimes join me when I prepare for work. I would also play with him when I go home in the afternoon. We would watch TV or we would spend time drawing his tiny little hands. During my weekends, my son would be the one to wake me up by banging on my door shouting, "Mama! Mama!" We would either go to the mall or stay at home. OR when I have work to do at home, I would use the computer while he just watches me or plays around with the stuff in my room.

5. Would you enter a serious relationship with a guy just for his looks?
I don't think I would do that. You see, if you go for a guy with good looks, you would most probably have a lot of other girls going for him. But if he was Johnny Depp, I'd probably go for it. Haha.



So if you're interested... here are the rules of this game:

1. Leave a comment saying "Interview Me".
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

I know this has been going around for months already so I'm thinking nobody's going to be up for this one. So just in case there might be one who's really interested, then drop me your thoughts and also please do include your email.

So here's what happened:

• Saturday night, had fun joyriding with Jorge, Ate Pinky and Ate Gemma
• Sunday morning, went to Jovellar. Had fun with colleagues at the waterfalls there. I think it was named the Quintanay Falls. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Although I did have tons of difficulty going through those rocks and those vines. Sheesh!)
• Sunday night, was supposed to go to Manhattan but Jorge and Ate Pinky were all quite so tired. Plan did not push through
• Monday morning, my son handed me this envelope containing a cheque from you-know-where. Yahoo!
• Monday afternoon, deposited the cheque with Leonel.
• Monday afternoon, went to Ate Pinky's where Jorge fetched us.
  
• Monday late afternoon, went to Pares King with Ate Pinky, Jorge, and Jules. Met up with Jhong, Arianne, Charlie, and Kaye Anne. Annabelle followed. Ate Pinky et. al. left early.
• Monday evening, tambay at the airport. Haha. Fun stories.
  

Mister chickboy, mister chickboy... Ano ba yang nasa YM mo? Wahaha!

If I were a registered voter, I would have put Antonio Trillanes' name at the top of the list.

Just this morning, while going through some of my usual blog haunts, I read this. I am just so happy. This really rocks!
