Teasers On Awards And Tags

Since my gown and heels are still on the runway and the red carpet is still on Middle East, let me just give you what you might expect on the next awarding nights.. LOL Passionate Blogger Tag Award from Ate Jane and Ghie Triple Awards from Twinkie A bag tag from The Retirement Chronicles Chris of Th e Mommy Journey has been showering me with awards and tags. First she tagged me with the Top 3 Meme. The most flattering award she gave me was this:

Thanks so much Mommy Chris! And she touches my heart with the Love Ya Award Mommy Enchie, Mommy Niko and Mommy Chris (again) all believed in me.. I am so flattered with this! As my header says, I am part time worrier, awards like this makes me think twice.. Guys you just don’t know how much it means to me.. Thanks! If you have been following my blog, you will notice that I love making my bloglife a little more stressful. Once I recieved an award, I usually pass it on to new found bloggers. I know that it is rather crazy and of course there is no assurance that the new found will play along. Well, for me, a tag or award is just the same as Hi or Hello in real life.. like a converstaion starter.. and so to blogger friends who are so nice to give the awards (and tags) mentioned above.. just give me some more time.. I will still need to find new victims LOL If you think I missed on your award or tag, please say so… and leave a comment.. I appreciate reminders LOL

Toy Hunt (Toys with numbers)

This week’s toy hunt theme is toys with numbers. Joy said it’s a special day today, it’s her Bianca’s birthday! Happy birthday to your daughter Joy. If you love toys as much as we do, come join us here.

This is a toy that my sister gave to Kayil. She bought it in Divisoria, for 35 PhP. This is one of the cheapest toy in his collections. Cheapest not because it was less than a dollar, it was cheap because at that value my son can learn a lot from that toy. He can do addition and subtraction using this.

Abacus is a counting tools that we often associate with China (or maybe it is just me). I think it’s the most popular abacus type. The Chinese abacus looks like this:

It has 13 columns with two beads on top representing heaven(upper deck) and 5 beads down representing Earth (lower deck). The decks are separated by a horizontal beam. The use of abacus is rather complicated to my simple neurons, I have to dig and dig and read more in order to learn how to use it. Here is a site that best describe how it is used, go on and play with it, it’s fun. Well it seems that it was not really that hard. From what I remember, using it is as easy as dumplings (yum!eating dumplings,, shrimp preferably). Each upper deck beads are valued as 5, and the lower decks are valued as 1. If you are to count 6, all you need is to move the beads towards the beam, 1 from the upper deck, then 1 from the lower deck. Each column is valued as tens, hundreds, thousands and so on (starting from right). If you need to count 105, the placement of beads are as followed: 1st column: 1 bead from the upper deck 2nd column: no beads (since there is no tens value) 3rd column: 1 bead from the lower deck A 6789 value is represented as: 1st column: 1 bead from the upper deck, 4 beads from the lower deck 2nd column: 1 bead from the upper deck, 3 beads from the lower deck 3rd column: 1 bead from the upper deck, 2 beads from the lower deck 4th column: 1 bead from the upper deck, 1 beads from the lower deck I never experienced using an abacus so forgive me for my elaborate entry.. Have you tried adding or subtracting using an abacus?

How Do I Love My Hubby?

I was tagged by Maria last week or last last week.. my apologies my dear friend, I was a bit busy last week that I set aside posting this..

Well, for a starter, my hubby and I met met late 1999. we became an item on August 19, 2008. I can’t elaborate our love story because it was really complicated, but one thing is for sure, I was the one who pursue him.. LOL.. not because he was shy, but because I was just so into him.. our friends knew how crazy and obsessed I was with him.LOL

Nine years after, let me think if I still have the same emotion as I had towards him.

The reasons why I love him is simple, he keeps on challenging me and he can bring out emotions in me. He can make me cry, angry, sad, happy. He can make me feel sexy, he can make me feel ugly.. he can stir every emotions in me, what more can I ask for? With him, I know I would not die of boredom, I know I will grow old feeling the same towards him…He is the ONLY person who can put up with me.I don’t believe much in luck, so maybe somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good to deserve him

Before Maria tagged me, I was just thinking of things you can do to your husband (this is while I am massaging his back). Things that are gross to some couples but to you both it is perfectly normal.. so now, in line with the reasons why I love my hubby, here are some WEIRD reasons why I love him:

He let me clean his ears.
He let me pr!ck his white heads and pimples. (and black heads too)
He let me cut his nails.
He let me scratch his head and look for flakes.
He let me massage his feet.
He let me through his personal stuffs (phones, emails, wallets etc.)

Now here are some reasons why I love him MORE:

When I say I want cake, he bought me more than a box.
When I throw up in his car, he pretend he does not mind 🙂
When I say I want a digital SLR, he wrapped it up in a newspaper and gave it on my birthday.
When I needed a dress (or shoes), he let me buy four.
When I am not in the mood.. oh.. he can always make me on the mood.
And when I say I want babies, he gave me THREE!

Now I want to hear my friends share with us the reasons why they love their hubby..
Sara, who celebrated their (second marriage) anniversary last February 11
Kaye, who has been missing for sometime now.. I hope everything is fine now.
Jona, who just posted my weird tag award.. sorry Jona.. but I just know you will love this one too hehe
Beth, who also celebrated their wedding anniversary.. I hope after your sweet entry for your hubby you would still play along with this tag 🙂
Melissa, who never fails to amaze me with her kingdom.

And if you love and hate your hubby at the same time, this is for you too! grab it while it’s HOT
