The times of my life...

I was "lucky" enough to be tagged by Evi and Dorothy... (thanks, guys!) =)

What Were You Like...

20 Years Ago:
I was bagging medals and awards at the school in our village. My parents decided to transfer me to a much bigger school because of "lack of competition"...

famous words:
Q from my mom's officemate: bakit ang tali-talino mo?
me: Kasi po mahilig po ako kumaen ng utak ng isda... (errr...)

15 Years Ago:
Discovered my boyish side and spent my afternoons playing with the neighbors - sipa, teks, football... but still played the occasional lutu-lutuan, bahay-bahayan and taguan.
Collected stationeries and swapped these with gurl friends. I could not recall whatever happened to those stationeries. I'm pretty sure I never used them.

10 Years Ago:
Labeled boy-crazy in high school, i developed lots of crushes and flings here and there.
Discovered the effectiveness of my will power and made my way back to the top of the class on my junior year just because i wanted to impress a crush and attend their graduation.
Showcased my talents in school... sang onstage in various programs, played volleyball, joined the group singing competition, excelled in acting in stage plays and the like...
Not only active in school but also in the community, serving the Lord in my own little way by joining the church choir and other community projects.

5 Years Ago:
Four years into the relationship, i was very happy to have found the mysterious boy who saved my life and at the same time, gave it meaning... JON. =)

3 Years Ago:
Had my very first job at Makati at a corner office with a view, but had a robot for a boss so i decided to quit, no matter how prestigious the company, how magnificent the building is, or how high my salary was. Sorry, not that kind of gurl... :P

Last Year:
The best year of my life. Jon made the sweetest proposal, got busy with the wedding preparations, and got married to the love of my life...
Our first time to travel out of the country without the 'rents.Hunnymooned in Singapore and (star)cruised around Asia - Phuket, Thailand; Penang, Malaysia and then back to Singapore. Had the most incredible time of my life...

Bittersweet as it is, it was the end of an era for me. I had to leave behind the life that i had - my home for 25 years and my family; and embrace the new life that i chose.

This Year:
the year when I travelled and vacationed the most - Boracay (twice), Hongkong, China to name a few - and the year isn't over yet!!! *wink*

Living the good life now and making every moment count... =)

Yesterday:
I overslept becoz of a late gimmick. Did the laundry. Went grocery shopping with my husband. Made tacos.

Last Night:
Received the most relaxing massage from my hubby... and then some. ;) It was mind-blowing, i tell you. heheh...

Today:
...is just another manic Monday... Work, work, and more work!

Tomorrow:
More work ahead! Looking forward to playing badminton with friends in the evening.

Next Year:
Time to start planning for the baby! We're thrilled and at the same time, scared by the idea... but we'll be ready for it in all aspects...

5-10 Years From Now:
We'll be living in a house all our own, Jon n I would have 2 kids by then, one boy and one girl (with the help of the Chinese chart, of course! *wink*).


...Passing this on to... my SIS, POBS, YANYAN, CHER, YEN, OBI, DIONNE and SHAI.
