Here are the questions:<br /><br />1. What were you doing ten years ago?<br /><br />In 1997 I was going full blast writing romance novels more than anything else.<br /><br />2. What were you doing 1 year ago?<br /><br />Among the saddest times in my life: I was mourning my Dad's passing and taking care of my Mom who was already very sick, too.<br /><br />3. What are five snacks you enjoy?<br /><br />Nuts, dark chocolate, fresh fruit, vanilla ice cream with corn flakes, chilled soya milk<br /><br />4. What are five songs you know the lyrics to?<br /><br />This is weird because I can't seem to retain or even get the lyrics to songs except for oldies that my Mom used to listen to and sing to me when I was very young.<br /><br />- Stranger In Paradise (She said it was my Dad's favorite. She'd sing it to me almost every night.)<br /><br />- Love Me Tender<br /><br />- Wooden Heart (These two by Elvis were back-to-back in a 45 rpm record that my Mom played again and again every day when I was a little girl. No wonder I still can't get the lyrics out of my head.)<br /><br />- Hawaiian Wedding Song (Obviously, my Mom loved Elvis.)<br /><br />- Never On A Sunday (Mom considered this a naughty song and was always laughing whenever she sang it to me. I think she said it was sung by Connie Francis.)<br /><br />5. Five Things You Would Do If You Were A Millionaire/ If You Had $1,000,000.00:<br /><br />I'm listing the things other than what we would be working for anyway even without those millions:<br /><br />- Build our dream home with the luxury of space, space, space along with enough storage for all our can't-live-without clutter, an indexed library to keep track of all our books, enough room for more pets, a lawn surrounded by trees, plus adjoining lots where the kids can build their homes later if they want to (I'm dangling free babysitting as bait!)<br /><br />- Hire a driver so that B won't have to be the one driving all of us around, and so I won't feel so guilty not learning how to drive :)<br /><br />- Travel with the family every chance we get to see as much of the world as possible<br /><br />- Set up various sources of passive income to spend as much time as possible just enjoying the family<br /><br />- Support the education of as many young people as we can<br /><br />Well, I can dream, can't I?<br /><br />6. Five Bad Habits:<br /><br />Hmmm...it's hard to trim the list down to just five :D<br /><br />- Staying up till almost dawn then sleeping till noon or even past<br /><br />- Not having breakfast and, sometimes, lunch then eating a lot at night<br /><br />- Procrastinating when I don't enjoy doing something...like exercise!<br /><br />- Being oblivious to the world when immersed in a book, and not stopping till I finish it<br /><br />- Getting lost surfing and enjoying it so much that I forget what I was supposed to be looking for in the first place<br /><br />7. Five Things You Like To Do:<br /><br />- Just hanging out with the family<br />- Pigging out with the family<br />- Reading (print and online)<br />- Writing<br />- Watching movies (theater, dvd/vcd)<br /><br />8. Five Things You Would Never Wear Again:<br /><br />- a hula skirt with a bare midriff (Last time I wore this was on stage in high school.)<br /><br />- hot pants (Again...high school, when I had never even heard of the word "cellulite".)<br /><br />- skintight clothes (Not worth the extreme dieting and obsessing over every millimeter)<br /><br />- a girdle (I can't believe I endured this for years.)<br /><br />- sky-high stilletos (Oooh, i'd still love to wear them but my feet disagree with me)<br /><br />9. Five Favorite Toys:<br /><br />- laptop<br />- Nokia 9500, because it has Word for when I don't have the laptop<br />- digital camera, for family memories<br />- TV and dvd player<br />- our pets!<br /><br />10. Five Things You Hate To Do:<br /><br />- Getting all sweaty outdoors (Don't take me camping!)<br /><br />- Exercise (Even when it's indoors; I only enjoy Fitness First for the sauna and steam room after the workout.)<br /><br />- Waking up early (I only do it if I really have to, like for an appointment.)<br /><br />- Routine housework<br /><br />- Being away from the family, or having any member of the family away - like out of town<br /><br />Now you know. I'm a lazy family-clinging couch potato!<br /><br />So let's hear the deep dark secrets of the following bloggers I tag: (You may do just one or both of the memes above.)<br /><br />Trinity of <a href="http://www.female-gamer.com/">Female-Gamer</a><br />Sandy of <a href="http://www.pinoynetwork.org/blog/">PinoyNetwork Blog</a><br />Dondi of <a href="http://donditiples.blogspot.com/">99% Wife &amp; Mom...1% Everything Else</a><br />Claire of <a href="http://claire2kitty.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-top-10.html">The Sunny Side of Things</a><br />Rachel of <a href="http://mysoulfulthoughts.blogspot.com/">Heart of Rachel</a>MJnoreply@blogger.com
