I got this from Mich. Thanks for considering me as your friend.

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Spread the poem of friendship.

1. When you see a man and woman walking together, do you automatically see them as ‘a couple’?
:: Nope…unless it’s pretty obvious as they are holding hands or doing PDA.

2. Is it always okay to walk along minding your own business, not bothering anyone?
:: Yes. I don’t like nosy people like those commenting about other’s people’s weight, or asking you if you are using the best acne treatments or why you are still single or childless. It’s just too annoying.

3. Which foods that you believe are bad for you that you stubbornly refuse to stop eating?
:: COKE!!!! I wanted to quit but it’s too irresistable especially on a hot day.

4. How would you handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights?
::Rainy day - stay at home and cuddle with my boys
Lost luggage - Find it. If not, then forget it.
Tangle Christmas Tree Lights - Have my hubby fix it. hehehehe

5. Do you easily adopt habits or phrases from the people around you?
:: Yes.

6. What do you think of this situation?
~ In a checkout line at a store, someone is angrily yelling at the cashier because she’s waiting for minutes already. A long line of people are behind them with no other checkout line available. Does the angry person have a right to be yelling?
:: Nope there are better ways of dealing with this situation rather than yell. I’ve always admired people who still shows grace under not so good circumstances.

7.How often are you greeted by strangers in a friendly manner while walking around in public?
:: A lot. Maybe people find my face friendly too.

8. What do you think of Crocs?
:: They’re great and comfy. My sis in law Vivian recently gave me an Alice and I love it.

9. How long does it take you to get ready to go out?
:: An hour. It’s not easy to prepare when you have a kid.

10. What kind of accent do you find attractive?
:: French!!!! It’s sounds sexy. hehehehe

1. When was your first kiss and where?
- Dec 2002.  It was somewhere near Westin Philippine Plaza.  M0rn1ng and I used to hang out there when we were still dating.   

2. When was your first real relationship and how long did it last?
- Oct 23, 2002.  M0rn1ng is my first real relationship.  I had some others ahead of him but those weren’t really considered serious eh.  M0rn1ng and I dated for 2 and half years before we got married.

3. What age were you allowed to date?
- When I already had my job.

4. What’s the craziest thing you did (for love) when you were a teenager?
- I would secretly go out on dates during school hours.  But I don’t think it is because of out of love.  It’s more of being pressured by peers.

5. How long was your longest relationship and what’s the secret?
- 2 and a half years with M0rn1ng.  I think the magic word is “patience” and “commitment”.  M0rn1ng and I are too different and we’re poles apart.  So we need patience to make our relationship work.  At first it was difficult but as long as you don’t force yourself on the other and respect each other, things will work.  Besides, being different is good because we have the chance to look at one thing in two sides or perspective.

6. How long did you date before you decided to settle down?
- We started officially dating on June 2002 and we got married on May 23, 2005.

7. How did you know he was the ONE?
- He accepted me for what I am.  No questions asked.

8. Now, at what age will you allow your kids(s) to date?
- I think this will depend on the maturity and readiness of my kids.  I wouldn’t impose any age but I would like to inculcate that dating is for people who are old enough to be looking seriously for someone to marry.  It will save them from a lot of heartaches and troubles, believe me.

9. When it comes to your kids dating, will you be a cool parent or a strict parent?
- I wanted to be in between.  You know, someone who is reasonable and willing to listen to their views but also standing firm on what is best for my kids. 

10. What piece of advice can you give to your child when they start dating?
First, you can observe the person. How does he behave? How does he treat other people? How does she talk to her parents or other family members? These things are important because they indicate how you eventually may be treated.

Through casual conversation, you can find out whether his or her interests and goals are similar to yours. You might also find out what other people think about this person.

You will want to learn what kind of person this is, about his or her thoughts, ideas, and inner self. How does he act under pressure? Who are her friends? What is the family like, and how do they treat one another?

Working together can give you a better insight into the person’s qualities. Allow time for unpleasant habits to surface. Then, with eyes wide open, they can enter marriage confident of being able to work out disagreements that will arise. Successful courtship has prepared them for a successful and happy marriage.
