The clerk looked up on me straight to the eyes doubtful to write down what I said. She asked me again about what Google is? I was surprise why those people in the Western Union know nothing about Google while even when I was in high school and started using computer I already knew that Google is what I used for searching things and stuffs on the Internet. I even remember clicking on Google ads before.

Today's Photohunt theme is "Surprise". The first thing that popped in my head was the surprise proposal of marriage that my husband did on his first visit in my humble hometown. We met for the first time in Manila and broke up after 10 days. Horrible, isn't it? So, during that time he proposed, our hearts were still fresh from reconciliation. We've been talking on the phone and on the Internet about us but not personally so when he proposed right when we reached at my parent's home it sent a sudden shock to nerves. I was like, w-t-h! We haven't even talked personally about us and I am not done fighting with you yet! You've hurt me! But to be honest, it was like a sweet melody and so I answered yes with teary eyes after few minutes of silence. Lol, I still remember how nervous he was when his shaking hands put the ring on my finger. He got me in surprise!

I agree with what many people said that age is just a state of mind. It is just a matter of numbers actually because even a baby's first birthday we will say she/he is 1 year OLD. It is just all in people's mind especially if they are going to be a year older. Well, I am pretty sure of myself that I act and think more mature than my age in most circumstances. It is maybe because of the family problems I had been facing since my younger days regarding my parents' problem. Since I am the eldest, I was the one who was so affected everytime they fight. At young age, I was able to understand what they are fighting about that brought fear to my young heart.
You Act Like You Are 28 Years Old |
You are a twenty-something at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up. The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them. |

I know this is already late but let me greet you sis Demcy a belated happy birthday. I am a one lucky blogger for having a blogger friend like you. I am one of those hundreds and thousands of bloggers who are touched by your warmth. Your friendship, your kindness is one of a kind and is indeed a treasure worth to be kept. I am so glad that blogging aside from friendster have connected us.
I would like to thank you for helping me getting started with blogging. Yes, Demcy is my very first blogging mentor. I started blogging actually on the year 2007 but I was still confused at that time about this blogging thing. I didn’t know how to move and what to do around the blog sphere. Thank God I met Demcy on frienster site. If I am not mistaken, it was somewhere on June or July 2008. Without Demcy’s help, this blog is a one blank page on your screen. Demcy is also the woman behind the dollars in my PayPal account. She introduced and helped me to start earning money with my blogs. Thank you so much sis Dhemz. I owe all my blogging success to you.

I implied about the reason why I changed my blog header last night. The reason was getting bored being awake alone the whole night which was the cause of the main reason, the fight that my husband and I had earlier that night. It didn’t make me sleep. I am not really used of sleeping with a heavy heart. Thinking about mom left home even gives me sleepless nights and the fight last night added the load to my heavy heart. I know my husband can’t sleep with a heavy heart too that’s why we don’t go to bed without fixing our problems but not last night. Lying on our bed alone, I tried closing my eyes trying to catch sleep but I didn’t. So I just stayed up until sunshine.
The reason of our fight actually was very shallow. The reason was because of me not supporting my husband giving the rudeness back to our rude neighbor. This is what happened: A day before yesterday, hubby got up early to cut the grass in our little garden when suddenly two maids from the next unit approached hubby saying their employer wants us to take our plants down from the 5” tall wall that separates our garage to theirs because according to their employer, the plants make their wall dirty.
It was when the fight between me and my husband started. Both of us then started yelling and throwing bad words at each other. My husband, due to madness didn’t able to stop himself from throwing nasty and unacceptable American words on me that really made me mad. At that moment I was mad with my husband and the people next door. I went outside the house when I heard the rude neighbors coming home and took the pots down from that wall and throw and broke it all down on our garage. I let them see me did it and whatever their reactions and their thoughts at moment was something I care so much. I want them to think that this small Rechie Ruth can be as a$$ as they are. Right then and there I told my self that my husband's wish came true. I supported his rudeness and I was giving those neighbors back their rudeness back. I couldn’t believe that those pots and those rude people next door could be the bottom line of our fight.
Hubby and I didn't talk after that. We both went upstairs and conquered a room. I locked myself up with our room of course; it is where our computers are at. He didn't bother to knock me on my door; he knows I am not going to open it after the words he had said.
Well, hubby and I are ok now. He asked apology with what he did that night first thing yesterday morning. I accepted it of course because I do understand him. That night was one of his hot-blooded moments. Also, beware having rude creatures living next to you guys. Have a great day!

You must be wondering why I change my header and why I am still up. It is 3:27 am here now and I couldn't sleep. I feel bored and sad even I am in front of my computer. I am bored because I am the only one awake. I am sad because hubby and I had a fight, a serious mouth fight, maybe. I didn't feel like playing facebook applications either so I just played PowerPoint while dropping entrecards. I ended up forming a scrap layout which later on became a new header for this blog. I guess, if hubby and I didn't fight, this new header will not exist. Lol.

It is time to be a thief again. Oh, how I miss the fun this kind of stealing can bring because you don’t need to be thinking what your punishment is going to be. Just stay calm and have fun thinking about the honest answers to the questions. So, look what the masterminds have for us today. It is “The Blame Tara Meme” which they ripped from a certain blogger known as MelRoXx.
Question 1: Who do you think is the hottest movie star?
>Angelina Jolie
Question 2: Apart from your house and your car, what is the most expensive thing you have ever bought?
>Hmnn, this is quite hard because I am not the one who bought our house. I have not that much income yet to be able to buy just as expensive as a house but I bought a set of pearl jewelries for myself using my own money last year and it was the most expensive I have ever bought.
Question 3: What is your most treasured memory?
>My wedding day is my most treasured memory although it was a last minute preparation but we did it well.
Question 4: What is the best gift you’ve ever received as a child?
>My parents’ reconciliation way back in 2002.
Question 5: What is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made?
>Committing abortion.
Question 6: Give four words to describe yourself.
>Friendly, Generous, Loving and Mean (when it is needed).
Question 7: What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008?
>The highlight was my wedding day and the lowlight or actually our down moment I guess was being scammed a day before the wedding day that we ended up starting the plan all over again giving us only a day to prepare everything.
Question 8: What was your most embarrassing moment?
>Speech mistake. We were having an outdoor campaign in high school. I was campaigning for my candidacy being one of the representatives for the sophomores. Since it was my first fime, I was really nervous and instead of saying “Good afternoon”, I said “Good morning”. I didn’t win.
Question 9: Tell something not generally known about yourself.
>Hmnn. This is all I can say, if they are trying to bitch on me, they’ll better not because I’ll be throwing it back on their faces ten times than how much they can.
Question 10: If you were a comic strip/cartoon character, who would you be?
>Wonder Girl

It's been a while since I last played photo hunting. It seemed like I had been missing a lot of fun in hunting photos. Tonight, I found time to hunt photos from my files. I was having a hard time hunting a photo from my files for today's theme though and I didn't feel like hunting for my camera either. Lol. I always misplace things and it gets worse when my mind is occupied with some unpleasant thoughts.
Well, I have here a photo of me by the half-body statue of the Philippine National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal on top of his book. This picture was taken in Fort Santiago last year on the month of May. I thought that this statue would go for the theme but if it is not there is still one thing in this picture that is artificial. Can you find it? Ok, I give you a clue. There is something artificial in me. Is it the smile or the silly face of mine? Nope!
Oh my, I am nervous now! This is my great revelation. Lol. I actually revealed about this artificial in my earlier posts but for those who were not able to read those posts, here it is. This artificial thing in me actually is very important because it is what I use for eating. Yep, you got it right, my teeth..my four front teeth which I have been wearing for 6 years now. Click on the photo to view it.
I hope this post can be counted. Lol. Happy hunting! Click here for more artificials.
