The Gut-Spilling Torch


I've managed to spill my guts quite a number of times already. And just when I thought I've spilled enough, I was passed this gut-spilling torch by
Canuck Chick (Thanks again girl ;). With much pleasure, I obliged. Since my sister has been complaining that my recent posts are thronged with statements (read: super long), I decided to add photos just to make them a teensy bit interesting. Without further ado, here's another gut-spilling post.

Ivy
Wow. What an insight :-)
One thing I can see. You've got more Moxy than I do. Your life seems to be quite full AND what's this? ..."Perform a base jump off the KL Tower in Malaysia?" ...O ...K. I've hung out of helicopters hooked up to a tether strap 500 feet up but "I would never jump even if I had a parachute." ;-))
You've got a beautiful family. Your husband is very fortunate.
Where do you even find the time to write?
Peace.

Elay,

Wag ka mag-alala, pag nagsawa ang lola mo, una kita tawagan lol......
Oo nga eh, wala naman nagmana, puro kami kamukha ng tatay ko haha........
Marami pa rin akong gusto..... isa doon ang 'world peace' at mabulunan sana si GMA haha.......
Salamat uli :)

J.D.,

"I've hung out of helicopters hooked up to a tether strap 500 feet up"
Could I add that to my list??? lol......
I wish I could do that jump though before I die haha....Unless I die trying of course haha.......
There are times I don't even know how I manage. Passion perhaps. Or maybe insomnia :)

this I think is the best meme that I've ever seen, walang tarush sis...your answers are extraordinarily good to me at nakakalokah yung "winsome blagista" mo hehehehe! para kong nasa alapaap.

mahal na kita mare, hindi dahil sa walang kamatayang puri mo sa akin kundi dahil sa nag-gagandahan mong bag lol!

salamat sa tag and I can't wait to do mine kaya lang masyadong madugo ito para sa akin kasi mas marami akong bagay na hindi ko alam kung tungkol sa akin...patuloy pa lang akong naghahanap.

wish me luck..para magawa ko to ng kasing ganda ng gawa mo :)

Those are some awesome pics Ivy. Your family and friends are lucky to have you.

But what will you do with all those bags. You'll need a room just for the bags, lol.

What a cute baby picture too. awww.

Melai,

Wow. Super compliment yun lalo na at galing sa yo :)
Alam kong yakang yaka mo yan kaya nga ikaw una kong naisip lol....
Isa sa mga dahilan kaya enjoy na enjoy ako sa mga tag na iyan dahil marami din akong nadidiskubre sa sarili ko, yung iba bago, yung iba 'dormant' hehe..........
Mahal din kita Sis, I'm sure alam mo yan ;)

I'll call you that from now on to hide your real name lol......Besides Canuck Chick is too long for me to type haha.....
I swear my head in that photo looks like one huge ball haha.....
Thanks for passing me the torch. I enjoyed doing this one :)

Rolando,

The thing with having bags is that you end up wanting even more. I think that's called greed lol......
I think it's the opposite scenario when it comes to my family and friends though. I think I'm luckier ;)
Thank you :)

Ivy,

I liked how you chose your pics. I smiled when you wrote "unconditional love." Ah, I never knew its true meaning till I've become a mother myself :=)

That's one lovely pic of you and your husband. Nice :=)

About those bags: I used to have same major weakness to .. bags. Sadly, the habit had to stop after I'm being a FT stay at home mom.

Take care there!!! (I need to feed a very hungry munchkin).

Annita,

Hello! It's amazing what motherhood can teach us :)
As for bags, they've been a major weakness since childhood. I should seriously go to rehab for my 'addiction' lol......
Yes, that's my youngest son with my dear Sedira. She's my 4-year old Mexican milksnake BTW :)
Take care as well. I know how it is keeping a very hungry munchkin ;)

Nicely done. I am fortunate enough to have a soulmate, friend and lover rolled into one also.

Maybe I'll borrow some of the things you often say. Words in other languages make good, non-offensive curse words.
