Homeward bound...

Topic2: Putting HOME back in homework...

*My POV

1. What was the funniest thing I did when I was a baby?

*My brother older brother has always been a stickler for order. I remember in his room (he was 6 then, and I was 3), he had a a highway set up permanently on the floor. He had a particular way of putting the cars on the highway and was also very particular about the way he would fix it, down to the last centimeter. I would, when he was not looking, test his memory by moving a car an inch or two or maybe move a car or a truck from one spot to another. Then I would move away and watch him (my mom said I had a serious face while watching) notice the slightest change and get upset over it. I did this everyday and my mom found it so funny. My dad would laugh too and called me "SUTIL" or a real tease. My brother never got angry at me though. I guess he was not allowed to get angry at his baby sister. (Oh the power...Mwaha.)

2. What was my first word?

*My first word, much to my mom's disappointment, was "Dada".

3. What was my first food/favorite food?

*My yaya's food. Tuyo, and noodles. Talk about an MSG diet!

4. What was the craziest thing your mom did when you were a student?

*My mom did a lot of crazy things when she was a student. Her "barkada" was one of the popular girls and they loved to throw parties ALL THE TIME. One time, they wanted to throw a party but were short in funds. Still, invitations had to be sent out. Because they thought it was a hilarious yet ingenious idea, they wrote out their invites on toilet paper! But somehow, the school got hold of 1 invite and their group was called to the principal's office. They were let off with a real long scolding and the "master-mind" of the idea was suspended. What a nasty punishment. But sometimes I think my mom's life was a lot more exciting than mine. Hehe. She actually complains about me being "conservative"!

5. How did your mom and dad meet?

*My mom was CMLI's Ambassador of Goodwill to the WORLD IN 1977. In 1978, my dad joined the same contest and won it. On the night of the proclamation of winners, my mom put the sash on my dad. He quickly took advantage of the situation and gave her a kiss. Their fate, they think, was sealed by that kiss.

6. If you could do anything other than what you are doing now, what would it be?

"Nothing more, nothing less. I am the sum of all my experiences and I would not exchange anything for the world. Besides, why bother sweat over something that I really can't do anything about?" (Oooohhh... Pilosopo yung mom ko pala. Hehehehehe).

7. Tell me a secret you kept from your parents. (*grin*)

"Me? My parents always made it clear that they would be around to help me get out of any pickle; and so I figured it would be okay and safe if they knew all of my boyfriends. They also allowed me to all the parties I asked, allowed me to take the course I wanted to take sot there was no need for any secret. *In a booming voice* AND I EXPECT MY KIDS NOT TO KEEP ANY SECRETS FROM ME!" (hides and rocks back and forth in a corner..."mummy...")

8. Tell me something about you that I still don't know.

"Everything you know about me really is on a need-to-know basis. I believe when a sitution calls for it and you need to know something about me, it will come, but now that you ask... I can't think of any right now. Too bad. Just wait. (What a silly question)." (Ay boo. My mom talaga.)
