This week’s WQ is a little different. Teacher Julie wants to know our thoughts on this photo below:

The first thing that came to my mind was “Are her parents so busy that they couldn’t even at least check on the clothes that their daughter is wearing?” It’s not all about fashion or getting some new clothes. It’s the safety of this little girl that is concerned here. Nowadays, you can’t even trust your own relative. What about those people who have lost their sanity?

This week’s WQ is:

What are the 5 simple pleasures that will give you, well, simple pleasures?

When I first read the question, so many things came to my mind, but yeah, I only need to enumerate 5 of those. So here they are:

1) A glass of Coke - Though I know it isn’t good for me, that I sometimes forget to drink at least a glass of water in a day, I still couldn’t resist to have, well, a glass of coke (or more) in each meal. Take note, in each meal.

2) Chocnut - If you give me a pack of Kisses and another pack of Chocnut, I’d choose Chocnut. Okay, okay. I lied. Will you please don’t ask me why? I dunno. I just know I love it! Hahaha!

3) Pedicure/Manicure - You see I’m not the type of girl (woman, lady, whatever!) who is seen in a salon or spa every time they feel the need to. I just don’t. I prefer a whole body massage done at home. So, to prove to myself that somehow I have this “vanity” sort of thing inside me, I make sure that every week, a pedicure AND manicure are done. Every week.

This week’s WQ is:

How would you like to spend your special day, your birthday?

As much as possible I want it simple. I’m not a party girl so expect that. For the past 8 years, I don’t remember throwing a party on my birthday. I go to the Church and give thanks that I have completed another year. Or if time allows, I usually celebrate it with my husband, we dine out and that’s it!

But this year, there was a simple celebration. My plan was to have a simple celebration as much as possible. Some sort of a get together enough to make up or the years that I am not able to spend with the whole family. Family means our whole clan. But….

This week’s WQ is:

If we set aside an extra hour each day to do what we would rather do and not what we should be doing, what would you choose to do?

This question really made me think deep. I don’t think this question is for me coz right now I have all the time in the world to do the things that every woman wishes for.

But, if this question was asked back the times when I was still a working mother, I’d definitely spend that hour exclusively for myself. If you are a working mother abroad, you’d understand why.

First, I would like to apologize to Teacher Julie for not being able to participate from the last 3 WQs. You know how busy it could get when your husband is around whom you have not seen and been with for quite a while. So I guess I am forgiven and excused heehee!

Anyway, this weeks WQ is:

Can you describe yourself as a friend? Or how do your friends describe you as a friend?

Overacting. Lola. Manang. That’s how my friends tag me. And I have to agree. I guess it’s because of the fact that I am the 2nd to the eldest among my cousins (paternal), and in some ways I play the same role to my friends > their adviser.

Weekly Question #2:

Let’s say it IS possible to have that one chance to be another person for a day, who would you choose to be and why?

This question made me think a lot. I’d choose to be my late grandmother (maternal). When I was still working abroad, my grandmother would always ask me “‘neng kelan ka ba mag-aasawa?, gusto ko na baga makita ang makuapo ko sa imo”. She’s a Bicolana, that’s why...
