| A Moment of Personal Awareness |
In a day, have you ever thought to stop and think for a while as to how you're feeling? Perhaps there was once a time when you did not realize that you were almost half forcibly dragging your body around. Were there times when you just realized you must have been bone weary because the minute you laid your head on your pillow, you drifted off to Neverland? Well, if so, then this is a time for you to take time to realize what you are feeling.
While you are at it, please do the following tag. ;) As per instructions of Mommy Ruby who tagged me with it:

| Pseudo-Celebrity Talks about Being a Dad |
While I was catching up on my reading at RebelDad, I found his rather close to violent reaction to an interview he found between MomLogic and reality TV's Ryan Sutter (The Bachelor). In the interview, Ryan reveals some intesresting things us moms should know (I think). Ryan and his wifey Trista have a 9-month-old son named Max.
Here is Ryan's 10 Things You Don't Know About Dads
- Even when you're about to breastfeed, we get turned on because we're guys and we just see boobs.
- When we're left in charge, we break all the rules. (Sorry Trista, I know you said it was too cold for Max and I to go out the other day, but we bundled up and did.)
- Sometimes we "don't realize" they have poopy diapers and let you discover it.
- Dads are sensitive too, and sometimes we feel fat.
- Honestly, we do steal glances at 25-year-olds who walk by. That's why we never leave home without our sunglasses!
- We really do love having our mothers-in-law around when they help with the kids and give us a break.
- We're actually really proud when he discovers his pee-pee.
- It's really sexy when you have no makeup on. Honestly, we prefer less makeup and seeing you in casual clothes.
- We're scared to death during the days leading up to the due date. We have no idea what to expect during the birth process. Everyone says just focus on caring for your wife...what does that mean? We need more direction than that!
- We just don't talk about beer and sports with our friends. We actually talk about being dads and how much we love our kids and wives.
... see Reference
I just had to laugh after reading it, you guys. Seriously. I mean, it's funny, but I think it kinda shows dads as insensitive @$$h0les - at some point. Hey, maybe that is the truth, I wouldn't know. Or maybe it shows the pseudo-celeb as a bad dad. The hub had some smaller violent reactions of his own regarding the 10 things. He says it is so NOT true. But I do know that sometimes he does #3. I mean, it is pretty obvious.
To all the dads out there reading this, is this really true? No, please don't lie...! Mommies, what do you think?
Cheers!

| Good Things Free For Giving |
Since it is a Sunday, I am feeling quite good and thankful for all the things that are going on in my life. I realized that there are simply a lot of things we take for granted and so many things we can give to others that we do not give a second thought to.
What are these things, you ask? In a world of high prices and poverty, can people really afford to give? Of course we can. There are things we can give that can make others happy. If you read on, I will tell you the things I think we all should be giving each other.
Here is a list of small things that make big effects that we can just give out everyday:
- A "Good morning!" One ex-colleague of mine remarked one time while we were on training how not a lot of people actually greet people they meet in the morning with that time-old greeting. Since then, I have made it a practice to greet people, "Good morning!" (with a smile of course) as often as I can. Sure enough, it makes other people smile and feel like they really can have a more pleasant morning.
- Greeting elderly people. Elderly people often feel alone and left out in the everyday hustle and bustle of young'ns. Have a heart. Show those who are in their Golden Age some love by giving them some attention and greeting. No doubt you will warm their hearts.
- Tell an older woman she looks lovely. I've found out that the older women get, the more concious they are with their appearance. They often feel like they are on a verge of becoming a withered fruit. Although she may not be quick to trust you, if you assure her that it is true, I am pretty sure it will make her day complete. See it for yourself.
- The power of "Thank You!" Sometimes when service is given to us, we automatically assume that it is our right that they are serving us and that they should at least be honored that they have us as customers. Admit it! You've got "the customer is always right" written all over your face. You should keep in mind that even if they mess it up or do a good job, they still deserve at least a "thank you" for their efforts. Do it, and for sure you have earned a smile, or at least better service next time.
- Share a smile. I may not be the perfect person to say this, but over the years I've learned that a smile can go a long long way. Of course, bad days are bad days, and sometimes one cannot simply just flash that blinding smile. But bear in mind, what if somebody else had a bad day and was scowling at you, you wouldn't like it one bit. Right?
These are but a few of the many things one can do. In the name of Kindness and Care, these gifts can have a great big impact and go a long way. Christmas is not the only time for giving. Give a little love and it all comes back to you..
Be nice kiddies! ;)

| People announces 100 Most Beautiful People |
Yesterday, People (http://www.people.com) launched its annual 100 Most Beautiful People list.
Leading the pack of stunning men and gorgeous women is the ever lovely and carefree Kate Hudson (29 years old) as the cover girl. Comments? I think they did not make a mistake in putting her among the 100. Definitely okay to put her on top. I think she is definitely beautiful and to die for. Despite the fact that she is already a mother, she still has her figure (and why wouldn't she, right?), and her face and easy smile. Even though she is pretty much a Hollywood baby, she still is quite humble. Great qualities.
Others who made the list are: Mary J. Blige, Salma Hayek, the cast of Gossip Girl, Carrie Underwood, Vanessa Hudgens (Go, Pinoy!), Eva Longoria (sexy to the max!) & hubby Tony Parker (Go SPURS, Go!), Christina Applegate, Isla Fisher, and Sarah Silverman, among others. Yeahp! Pretty good compilation so far.
I have one question though: Rumer Willis? Hmm.. I don't agree with People there. Her mom is beautiful, and I really like her dad. But... Nope, I still don't think she should be there. They have there reasons though, and perhaps if I stared longer I might be able to see it. Hmm.. Nope, still don't get it.

| About Me |
|
Name: Ann
Home: Philippines
About Me: even when she has fairy wings on, this girl is anything BUT dainty. perhaps the size, the weight, and the personality alone are just too much for her to be considered delicate, prim, proper, and refined. this girl with the mud smudged cheeks has been down on the ground one to many times. these times forced her to be tougher, smarter, and more savvy than she has ever been. perhaps she will always be, never dainty.
