SPi Global's birthday token

Guess what I received today?

A birthday token from SPi! Yey!

Its a pillow and a mini blanket in one. Perfect for my out of town trips since I always fall asleep on byahes. :p

And yes, in a week I'll be turning a year older. Thank You Lord for the gift of life! :)

Day 2: A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

Who else? :)

Meet the original Taray Queen, (I'm her copycat! :p) Arleen Serrano-Lim, or Len.

Well I bet you'd ask why her and not my dad. Or why not both. Simply because aside from the fact that I have been living with my parents for 26 years already, my mom carried me in her womb for nine months. :p

* When she's in the mood of pangungulit, even when I am in my deep slumber, tatabihan nya pa ako and kikilitiin just to wake me up! 

* Very sweet pero sometimes very masungit. Ooopss lagot ako haha!

* Mahilig maglinis ng bahay -- ang hindi ko namana sa kanya! :p

* A strong woman of God. 

* My beautiful and loving mommy who cooks the best spaghetti and caldereta (at least for me!).

My day's not complete without mom. Hmm, parang ayoko na tuloy bumukod ng bahay ah! :))

I love you the most, Mommy!

Day 1: A picture of yourself with 15 facts

I will share to you 15 facts about me that I think I haven't shared to any of my closest friends. Hmm well, I'll try my best hindi sumablay! :P

1. According to my mom, my original name was Mary Roleen. Haha I know it's funny but it's dad's and mom's combined names. RO for Robert and LEEN for Arleen. (I dunno if Mommy was just joking about that but I super thank them they wrote Mary Faith on my birth cert. :p haha!).

2. I have tons of nickname given by my mom whenever she wants to make lambing. Ate panganay, Pompey, Peypey, Popochey (which was according to my mom, was my favorite word when I was a kid and until now no one knows what that is!), etc. I forgot them na haha!

3. I really treasure my 18th birthday. Kasi my debut was April 4, 2004. It is 04-04-04, which we all know that it only happens every after one thousand years. I even asked the venue designer to make sure that the "04-04-04" is bigger than my name. LOL! Until now, I am so proud whenever I make kwento about that.

4. I am a bookworm! Err, well I used to be one. I can stay up all night reading gradeschoolers' books though I am 17 years old na. I would usually go to my cousins' house and make kalkal over their bookshelves. How I wish I could make up for lost time with my dear books. Busy na kasi!

5. I am a frustrated singer. Everyone knows that! But not everyone knows I am a frustrated dancer haha! I remember one Christmas eve where my dad and mom asked us 5 siblings to dance in front of them to the tune of Bayani Agbayani's Otcho-Otcho and Sexbomb's Spaghetti. Aww nakakahiya langs! Like being a frustrated singer, sa banyo lang din ako sumasayaw while taking a bath. :p

6. I learned cooking at the age of 10. Yep, I was that brave! Hindi ako takot magbukas ng kalan kahit bata pa ako. I personally believe that a good cook doesn't have to taste the dish. Sa aroma pa lang, alam na.

7. If given a chance to work as a nurse, I want to serve poor people. Tunog pageant ba? Haha, its true. I remember I had a conversation with mom. I said I want to go to provinces where people needs help the most. Yun lugar talaga na hindi naaabot ng tulong ng gobyerno. Ewan ko ba, I have a heart for these people.

8. I admire beautiful weddings. I have now my list of wedding suppliers, wedding songs, wedding theme and everything I needed for my own wedding! I know I'm bright lol! To my future husband, you're lucky I will be your wife. Kumpleto na ang lahat, financial support na lang ang sa'yo nyahaha!

9. I used to say that I want to get married at the age of 20. That's when I was 15. Now, I really wanted to settle down by the age of 28. Mag eenjoy muna ako sa payslip ko! LOL!

10. When I am really happy, I laugh sooooooo loud with matching tears pa!

11. Remember the "Rejoice for kids commercial"? Well, hindi ako yun. Good thing! But I auditioned for that! Kakahiya! I was always noticed by people because I have a very long hair and (ehem..) kasi I am pretty! Sabi ni mommy haha!

12. When I was a kid, I remember we went to ABS CBN to audition for SinesKwela. I honestly did not know why we're there! When it was my turn, I did not speak! Another kakahiya moment! I was also spotted by a talent scout at Star City, and asked mom if I could do modelling. While they were talking, I was playing and was not interested. Haha sayang eh di sana star na din ako! LOL! :p

13. I used to be a bully. Nuff said.

14. I wanted to try different jobs. I already worked as a Service Crew, Sales Coordinator, Management Trainee, UK Student Visa Processor, Medical Representative, Web Designer, Event Coordinator, Web Writer, and now, a CSR. Whew! So what's next? :p

15. I am madaldal pero depende sa mood. Ansabe? Haha. When I am in the mood of kadaldalan, kahit natutulog ka na, I will wake you up just to share what happened to me kahit na ages ago pa yun haha! But when I'm iritable, kahit kausapin mo ako, I will just make hand gestures hahahaha! Oh well, I am proud of myself (but in a positive way huh!).

So that's it! Share yours naman. :)
