Liebster Blog Award

April 1, 2013

Thank you Colleen for nominating me for the Liebster blog award. I am so honored that she chose me to participate and share random things about myself.

So, here goes the 11 random facts about me...

1. I was born in the Philippines and spent 13 years of my life living in a tropical paradise. 

2. and yet I cannot swim to save my life! I never learned how to swim and a lot of people I know who have lived in an island can't swim either..I don't know how to explain that. And yet, I love going on beach vacations. Not that I didn't try learning how to swim but after a course, I went to a family friend's pool party and I almost drowned. I have a phobia now..I cannot go to the deep end. My time at the pool ends when I cannot touch the floor.
4. I love painting and photography. 

5. I have 3 older sister's. It was a blast growing up together but also hell at times. Girls, go figure!

6. I was a tomboy growing up. I played with action figure's, watched G.I Joe, played outside with the boys all the time. I was always climbing trees and chasing dragonflies.

7. I speak Tagalog and a dialect called "buhinon" fluently.

8. I love to eat all kinds of foods except spicy. I love to try and eat local cuisine when I travel as much as possible.
9. I cannot live without eating rice. Life is not complete without it. Period. 

10. Most of my friends are guys who I have known since high school.

11.  I love watching action movies.


Colleen's Questions:

1. If you could choose a super hero power, what would it be?

The ability to fly so I wouldn't have to pay for expensive plane tickets ;)

2. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I wish I can be more sports oriented. I have no coordination whatsoever and I have no interest in playing sports so I wish that can be magically changed. 

3. What is your favourite thing about yourself?

I would have to say my ability to easily make friends. 
 
4. If you could go anywhere in the world for New Year’s Eve, where would you go?

Rio! I want to experience NYE not wearing bulky clothing and freezing my butt. I want to be in Rio partying it up, having warm weather, drinking caipirinha, and wearing a dress!

5. What is the stupidest thing you’ve done while traveling?

Staying in a mix dorm in Amsterdam and spending the night sleeping in a room full of drugged out Swiss boys. 

6. How would your friends describe you?

Passionate, silly, moody (when I'm hungry), and loyal.

7. What is your biggest weakness/vice?

My inability to focus. I get easily distracted and it's horrible. I blame it all on social media.

8. Frogs?

Legs? Yum!

9. If we are/were friends in real life, where should we travel together and why?

We would travel to Spain together because we both have a deep love for the country. Eat tapas and drink sangria all day ;)

I always forget my dream when I wake up.

  4. I can't live without rice either!!! One time my husband suggested us cutting down on carbs, and rice was a non-negotiable, haha. My cousin grew up in the Philippines and can't swim either. It sounds dumb, but you should practice with floaties to get started. You can do it, Christine!! :)
