A Facebook tag from Ris. Thanks sis! Miss ko na ang exchanges natin ng tags, hehe! :) My commentary (of course, I always have to have a commentary on anything!) in brackets.

Instructions
Go to www.urbandictionary.com and type in your answer to each question in the search box, then write the FIRST definition it gives you. I guarantee you’re gonna find some pretty hilarious results.

1. YOUR NAME:

MIA
1.) Missing In Action
2.) a slang term used by pro-eating disorder folk that refers to BuliMIA.

MEEYA
meeya isn’t defined yet, but this one is close:
1.) Mario: Luigi’s brother and inventor of the quote “It’s a meeya, Mario!”

2. AGE:

34 : Slang for anal sex, similar to 69 or 89. [Whaaat?? :D]

3. ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS

Angela: “A desired human being who often pwns noobs at various video games including Dance Dance Revolution. Angela’s also generally posses a large rear end. This rear end can be referred to as Laquisha.” (Ex. Angela and her Laquisha pwnd at DDR last night. It was intense.)

4. WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING:

Blogging: “Term used to describe anyone with enough time or narcissism to document every tedious bit of minutia filling their uneventful lives. Possibly the most annoying thing about bloggers is the sense of self-importance they get after even the most modest of publicity. Sometimes it takes as little as a referral on a more popular blogger’s website to set the lesser blogger’s ego into orbit.” [Exactly, hehe!]

5. FAVORITE COLOR:

Blue: “The feeling when u wake up at 7 in the morning and remembering it’s a Monday.”

6.FAVORITE NUMBER:

8: “The ordinal number ’8′ is often used in place of the phonemes that would make the sound ‘ate’ in written English. The habit could have originally developed among linux {fucktard]s in chatrooms, or 14 year old scrubbers text messaging on mobile phones. Either that or from ‘old-school’ rave act Altern8 (still DJ-ing in and around Stoke-on-Trent, kids!) Whichever way you look at it, it looks shit and doesn’t make you look cool.”

7. MONTH OF YOUR BIRTHDAY:

March: “Month in which creative, laid-back, dreamy, cool people were born. ” or “The month in which all sexy, drop dead gorgeous women are born.” [I think I like the second definition better:D]

8. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO:

Allan: “A guy who is always charming people to get out of trouble. Usually very fliratious with the females but deep down just wants a stable relationship with a chill girl. Very good-looking and quick witted.” [Amen :D]

9. ONE OF YOUR NICKNAMES:

Mee: “How a giant squid would say, “me.” (Example. Would yoo like free insurance quotes from mee?)”

So baliw this meme! :D Thanks, Ris!

MrsWorkingGirl :: Feb.20.2009 :: MeMeMee :: 1 Comment »

I was tagged with this over at Facebook but, as always, I’d rather answer them here. :) Thanks to Jmom, Cez, and Laine for this! :)

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

I’ve done a lot of random enumerations about me over the years. This time, I’m going to challenge myself and do 25 Random things about Me after I turned 25 years old. :)

1. I was single on my 25th birthday.

2. I have been out of the labor force since 2004. But, I’ve had a gainful career as a sahmmy ever since.

3. I didn’t know how to cook, not even to save myself, when I was 25. Not so now! :)

4. I now prefer quality over quantity when it comes to “handbag collecting”. Although, to have both would be mucho fine as well. :D

5. I do not eat bananas.

6. I’ve lived overseas since 2004, with no signs of quitting.

7. I was devastated when the Eraserheads broke up.

8. I traveled to NYC for the very first time when I was 26.

9. I’ve had a miscarriage when I was 28.

10. I do not like Marian Rivera. And Anne Curtis. And Bea Alonzo.

11. I make a mean sans rival. Hah! :D

12. I currently share a DSLR with my husband. Soon, it will be all mine (mwahaha, mwahaha, mwahaha).

13. I love eating out, or eating at other people’s houses. Less dishes for me to wash, I guess, hehe!

14. I can’t do art and math, but ask me to write or dance any day and I would oblige.

15. I am very bad at remembering names, but I am good with faces.

16. I love cuddling up to my asawa. *kilig*

17. I’m very mababaw – I can easily cry and am easy to please.

18. Meteor Garden is my ultimate favorite Chinese telenovela. :)

19. I’ve been to more places than all the trips prior to my being 25 combined. Having some great travel buddies in the form of my hubby and Ninna, and coming across great travel deals contributed to that big time. :)

20. I still do not eat beef.

21. I have yet to find something at Abercrombie and Fitch that fits me.

22. I have a great respect for single parents. Especially those who have raised their kids right.

23. Michael V cracks me up.

24. I wear Crocs at home, but not outside the house.

25. I have this habit of putting “haha!” or “hehe!” after my sentences. It can be annoying, I know, especially if nothing’s funny. :P

Anybody who wants to take a shot at this, please be my guest. :)

I have this super long overdue tag from Em. My answer to this meme has actually been sitting for a while in my Drafts, waiting for the perfect moment for it to be published. Well, since it’s only a few more days before Christmas, I guess now is the perfect time. (Yeah, right! Haha!)

Advanced Happy Holidays (and Gift-giving) every one! :)

~~~

*** Start Here ***

Friendly Rules:
1. Simply copy the inspirational story and in the end write down the lesson you have learned out from this.
2. Put your own blog name and link. Pass or tag this to your friends to inspire them.
3. Start copy from “Begin Copy” until “End Copy” to your blog.

— The Best Gift Ever —
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse,

Matt 7:11, “And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?”

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God’s blessing because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for…

PLS. SEND THIS TO AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE SO AS TO LET THIS GREAT LESSON FLOW AROUND.
***End Copy ***

~~~

What did I learn from this?

Like the Dad, God works in wondrous (and sometimes, not very obvious) ways. But He does give us what we need (and sometimes want), it just comes in different packages.

Its also a lesson in being thankful. For anything and everything.

So, whatever you plan to give me for the holidays, you can be sure I’ll be really thankful. *wink* :)

MrsWorkingGirl :: Dec.01.2008 :: MeMeMee :: 1 Comment »

After Thanksgiving comes Christmas. :) So here’s the first of, I’m sure, a lot of Christmas-inspired memes yet to come.

This one is from Dyes.

Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now. Starts here. It’s so simple. Copy the photo above then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF-LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.

Here is my wish: that despite the economic slump we are in right now, we can all find happiness in the simplest of things, and may all of these glad tidings be wondrous.

~~~

What is your wish?

More Christmas wishes after the jump.
