OOh, before I forget, I would like to thank Amy for the 'I heart your blog award,' and Beth for the smart blogger award. They are two great people I've met on the web. Both of them are inspiring and lovable women who spread sunshine - both online and offline.

2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.

Their post is always well-written, with good grammar, very insightful, inspiring, thought provoking and you always wish that you've written it. They always have a great stories to tell,either about life, about themselves, or their family.

sunnysideup tagged: Honest Scrap Award

Got this fun award from Beth (a fellow blogger and artist).

Honest Scrap Award Rules:

When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real.

Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!

Now, here is a list of 10 Honest Things about Me! :)

1. I always see the good in others and may seem naive. Only thing is when someone loses my trust, it's gone forever.

2. I love Starbucks!

3. I don't like pretentious people. Yes, I just can't take plastics! Enough said.

4. I can drive like a madman. I just forget that I'm a lady sometimes. The buses, jeepneys and motorcycles of Manila get on my nerves. Good thing I'm getting a break from driving here in China.

5. I can last a day without drinking water. Yes it's not a good habit. I'm working on it. Good thing my hubby loves drinking water so he influences and reminds me to do so.

6. I am a sucker for romantic chick flicks. Ive seen movies like "Ever After" and "Love Actually" countless times. I also love Jane Austen and all her works!

7. I am an only child.

8. I can be OC sometimes. Yes, just like my mom I prefer having three sets of slippers: one outdoors, one for the bathroom and one for the house.

9. I love junk food. My favorites include Pringles, Taquitos (red) and al Piattos flavors.

10. I am a TV addict!
Yes, if you let me I can watch several marathons of CSI and Reality Shows (Survivor, The Apprentice).

I am passing this award to Amy, Iris, Jacque, Daydream Believer, Kris, Emz, and Hip Cool Momma.

sunnysideup tagged: Have you ever tag

This is 1 of three delayed tags I should have done last month. I'm so sorry for the delay friends.

For this first tag I have Amy to thank. She's a successful blogger, based in Mississippi, who always takes the time to visit my pages and ask me how I am. Thanks sis!

1. Have you ever been on TV? Yes I have. I got to be an extra for TV commercials. One was for a hair shampoo and another one for a snack food.

2. Have you ever sung on public? Yep, several times. I remember singing during Christmas parties for our village, college dorm and company.

3. Have you ever dyed your hair blond? Never, and will never will!

4. Have you ever eaten frog legs? Yes, as a child I was forced to try. They said it tastes like chicken (naniwala naman ako) :P

5. Have you ever received a present that you really hated? Yes I did. It was at school for Christmas celebrations. I got a terrible item as an exchanged gift. I was young and I cried as soon as I opened it. In fact I think I had three (separate) aweful experiences. The items I got were as follows: an ugly hanger set, a pack of soap, and a corporate freebie bag with logo.

6. Have you ever walked into a lamp post? Lamp posts, no; glass doors, yes! :)

7. Have you ever cooked a meal by yourself for more that 15 people? Not yet. I think the maximum was 4.

8. Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others? So many times and I remember them all :) hahaha

9. Have you ever done volunteer work? Yes, a number of times. I still do when I have the chance.

Since I'm posting three tags today, I am passing this on to anyone who is interested to share more about themselves. Enjoy!

sunnysideup tagged: The 4th edition tag

I got this tag from Amy and Iris, my online friends who make blogging so much more fun. I am a trailing spouse, now based in China with my husband. I spend most of my time at home - blogging and building a home.

Anyway, here are a few more things about me (as shown by this tag). This tag is a cool way of sharing more things about ourselves.

4 favorite things to munch on


1. chips
2. chocolates
3. fruits and
4. more chips

4 places I like to visit and why



1. The Great Wall of China. Since we are here in China it's a must see for me.
2. I want to visit England and see lots of old English cottages, maybe a few castles too.
3. I already saw Rome and now would like to see Venice.
4. I also want to revisit Paris, this time with my hubby.

To make this more interesting here's the first 4 results of the image search.

3. Adorable baby girl with the same name as mine. Looks like my name is getting more and more popular. Even Manny Pacquiao's newly born baby girl is named, Queenie.
4. This is a nice black designer coat.

4 favorite sites for on line shopping

Haha this is funny but I'm a blogger who still doesn't shop online. I still prefer the old ways where I get to hold and observe the item.

Now I want to pass this tag to anyone who wants to share a piece of their thoughts and dreams. :)
