The Way We Were at The Apple Store

One happy camper...

Asaran with the use of Ipod Touch...

Chris started it so I had to retaliate (hehehe)...

Chris tries the Apple TV...

While I got amused with the design of their staircase...

And so I asked for another photograph on the stairs...

While Chris got amused with the gadgets inside the Apple Store, I, on the other hand, got amused by the store's interiors. Wow pare, anlabo ko talaga! :P Although Chris tried his best explaining which is which and each gadget's features, my attention span was very short. But I did love the iMovie of the MacPro and I look forward to having an iPhone, that's about it for me (in terms of interest for Apple products)...for now. Siguro konti pang brainwashing ni husband before I can have the same interest as his.

Tags Answered (Random Facts/Habits)

This tag from Donna and Gracey is looooonnggg overdue...but I never forget, so when I say I'm in, I will do it even if it takes a lifetime hehehe.

Post the rules:

• Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.

• Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.

• At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.

• Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Okay, here my 10 Random Facts/Habits on Being Me:

On Being a Wifey: I never really thought I would love being a wife--I really don't, not in my wildest dreams. But with all the adjustments, chores and responsibilities that come with it, I can safely say that I do love being a wife. I now love staying at home cooking, doing chores or just hanging out with the husband. I even love budgetting for goodness' sake!!!! hehehe . I love that I'm able to juggle my wifey responsibilities and personal interests, too. I now realized that it's all about being ready and I'm glad marrying early in life was not a priority for me when I was young. Married life is happy and challenging at the same time---it is not a bed of roses so it requires a certain maturity and strength, so I'm glad I waited till I'm really really ready.

On Being a Trainer: Training is one of my passions in life, although right now I'm not playing an active part in it. But I do love the thought that when I train, I play a vital role in an employee's development in the workplace. Teaching/training is a selfless act and for me, that in itself is a way of taking care of people. One day, I plan to come back to training actively and the only place I'd want to do it is in the Phils.

On Being a Blogger: This comes as my second passion right now---no, it's not Photography like everyone thinks! Writing has become an extension for me since I'm not actively training. Training requires for me to share information, advices and things I believe in(like being positive in everything you do!) and that is how I feel about blogging/writing. Whatever I write about, whatever I share, I make sure it is thoughtfully done and consistent to the things I believe in and that it is something that my readers can learn from.

On Being a Photography Enthusiast: The photographs I share with everyone almost always has a meaning (except of course the photographs of my family/relatives). Whenever I share a photograph here, you can be sure that it is something that has a meaning, it tells a story or it is informative. On how I look at a photograph: I always always look at what message it conveys...doesn't matter if it was taken by a P&S or an DSLR...kung walang meaning, mensahe o istorya ang isang litrato, di bale na lang.

On Being a Friend: Once you become a really good friend of mine, I'm committed to that friendship. If a friend loves me and is always there for me, I will reciprocate that. If a friend did something very bad to me, I will probably rant just to say my piece, then I'll forgive him/her but I will never be close to that person again.

On Being an Ex: Once I say goodbye and walk away, I never turn back. One mistake is enough, I don't like working things out just to make a second mistake. Although I think one time I made an exception to that rule---but it never really worked so hindi na talaga. After everything is okay and both has moved on, I can become friends with an Ex again and I am friends with former boyfriends---yes, the husband knows and he is also friends with them.

On How I Spend Money: I can be as prudent (kuripot) as a Chinese businessman. I seldom spend too much on little things like clothes, make-up, shoes, bags (until now, I still can't make myself buy my dream bags even if I know I can afford it). But I do spend more on things for the home and electronic gadgets and I avoid buying second hand for the mere reason that I'm afraid it won't be of quality (I do make exceptions if I know the person who's selling). I love setting up funds: Gift funds, travel funds, etc and joining Paluwagans.

On Being Healthy: I don't want to be fat! hehehe. But I don't want to be skinny too. I eat what I love; the healthy ones (fish, fruits, veggies) I try to eat as often as possible, the unhealthy ones (junk food, meat) i take in moderation. I take long walks after work and on weekend, I try to squeeze in briskwalks/jogging at a nearby park.

On Loving: Hindi ako selosa (I'm not the jealous-type). Period. hehehe.

On Being a Soon-to-be Mum: I'm looking forward to it but I'm in no rush. I have learned early on that anybody can plan an engagement, a wedding and a honeymoon...but having a baby is something you can't put in the calendar. So for now, what I always say to The One Above is "Surprise me!!!"...maybe one he will.

So there, another 10 facts about me.

Whoever is happy today because its a Friday---YOU are tagged!!!

Happy Weekend!!!
