Tagged!

I was tagged by Acey awhile ago. So here it is, some 8 things about me...

  • One of my dreams is to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu in Peru.
  • I’m trying to learn Spanish and French. My goal is to be able to speak them fluently in 4 years' time (yep, wishful thinking!).
  • I'm an early morning person.
  • Playing around with photoshop is one of my favorite pastimes right now.
  • I still collect scented stationeries and Hello Kitty Pens (so gradeschool!).
  • And I seem to be collecting DIY, craft & cookbooks as well since they are everywhere in our house!
  • When I was about 8, I almost became a hula-hoop champion until I sneezed!
  • Being a farmer and a potter is what I dream to be. I want to live in a pretty hut on a mountain somewhere, and grow my own sweet corn, herbs, and all kinds of fruit trees and make all kinds of clay jars and pots.

That's it and I'm tagging everyone. Rules are simple. All you need to do is share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going. enjoy!

I was also tagged before for one very much similar into this (the link is here).

Wow, if you do Photoshop, maybe we can exchange ideas. I also do Photoshop at a beginner level. I only used the software for editing photos posted in my blog...

Hi dodong! Thanks for visiting! Photoshop is fun and it would also be fun to learn from each others' ideas :-)

wow, hula-hoop champion huh? i loved to do the hula too when i was young. recently lang, bumili pa nga ako ng hula-hoop sa toys r us, hahaha! ayun, nakatabi lang, i must be getting old kasi hindi ko na feel :)

ako din, i want to learn spanish and french!! and swedish too! i am surrounded by so many swedish guys in the office and minsan i want to join in their conversation, hahaha.

you must be lonely with hubs being an OSW. is that permanent? kelan balik niya? i never got the chance to go back there again. hopefully something comes up soon! :)

denden: :-)

Jo: I've been trying to learn french for ages (eversince we lived in Belgium pa) pero hindi siya tumatagal sa brain ko eh. It's such a difficult language to learn talaga but I will still keep on trying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gracita: Ay very lonely talaga. But he tries to come home every weekend naman or every other. I hope it's not permanent 'cause it's pretty tough being alone and tough din sa kanya na biyahe na lang ng biyahe. Ang dami nyang projects all over kasi.

I am personally in quest to learn as much as I can, and hoped to be better every year than the year before. I salute you for your continuous quest for knowledge of this world, Van. Especially that it's harder for wives to do that.

Vanessa said...

Thank you, rey, for such a heartwarming comment! It's nice to know a man who acknowledges a wifes tough role in a family. The world needs more men like you :-). Have a great weekend!

Latin America is really intriguing no? I would love to visit - maybe when hubby and I are retired, para matagal kami pwede mag-stay hehe

aCey said...
