Yay!! After a month of serious blogging, I finally got my first tag! Thanks to Ate Bing! I'll try my best to share the things that best describe me and my life from the past to the present. Just in case everyone is wondering who the young lady is in the picture...that's me! I was taking a walk down Galveston beach while enjoying the warm splash of the gentle waves on my feet! Anyway, here's what I can share about myself:1) When I was a child, my family went through some rough times. We lived in a tiny old shelter with an extremely messed up roof. So whenever it rains, our floor ends up getting flooded because water drips through the tiny holes of the roof. We hide under the umbrella tucked tightly into one corner to keep ourselves dry. While it's raining, we hear our neighbors joke loudly about our situation. It's very disheartening to know that some people find amusement on the suffering of their fellowmen. I hold this memory special even if it's painful, because it reminds me of my simple and humble beginnings.
2) My personality is very transparent. I am shy but friendly. If you're nice to me, I will treat you better. If you're not, then you better watch out! ;)
3) I adore babies and would love to have a baby girl someday! Maybe in the next year or two!
4) I don't drink or smoke. I strongly believe that staying healthy is the key to a long happy life! :)
5) I love to sing! I discovered my passion for singing when I was about 7. I have joined a couple of local singing competitions back in the Philippines.
6) I am married to a great guy for almost 5 years now- his name is Michael. He's the love of my life and I'm looking foward to growing old with him.
7) I love to go swimming even if I suck at swimming! I have this funny fear of water getting into my ear.
8) I believe that it's never too late to dream and it's always good to set goals in life. Having a target is like setting an inspiration and a guide that leads you to a better future! :)
Now I tag 8 people!
Simple Rules:
1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

People often call us as the Tres Marias. We grew up like best of friends. When one is in trouble, the other two are always there to back her up. These are the things that we are proud of about our family. We always treasure the tie that binds us together. Today we chatted about our unforgettable childhood memories, and we would like to share some of them with you:
Gerryl: When I was about 4 years old I vaguely remember giving Mabel the first haircut of her life! A sudden itch to play around with my sister’s hair came over me when I was left alone with her. First few cuts were really crooked so I decided to cut more and more, until it became really short. Mabel’s eyes grew big when she saw her reflection in the mirror- she looked like a boy! Keeping her hair long is precious to her, so she was really upset about losing her rich beautiful curls. Mom had to come to the rescue to fix the haircut, but it was too late! It was a disaster and I was in big trouble!! After that experience, I never played with scissors and hair again.
Trivia about Mabel: She loves to sing in the shower and she likes to fondle the tip of her pillow when she gets the chance!
Mabel: One of the things that I remember most about my childhood is dislocating my collar bone. Oh God, it was awfully painful!! As my Ate Gerryl was running cheerfully up and down the long skinny bench, my curiosity enticed me to do the same thing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as nimble as my sister. I fell down and hurt myself badly. Manong Padoy our neighbor came to help put the dislocated bone back into place. Luckily, they didn’t have to rush me to the hospital. It took me a couple of months to recover. Good thing my mom was there to nurse me back to health! From that day on, I was more careful about my actions and I tried to shy away from doing the dirty little stunts of my dear sister.
Trivia about Genevieve: she is crazy about rubbing her feet on the mosquito net. She carries it with her wherever she goes.
Genevieve: I was in the third grade when Ate Mabel and I joined a dance competition in our community. Day and night we practiced patiently to perfect our steps. Our most awaited day came and we were both so confident that we'll do great. However there was a wee bit of a setback because our tape did not cooperate during our presentation-- we can barely hear the music!! Ate Mabel started dancing--to my surprise she changed all of our dance steps! I had the most difficult time catching up so I was really dismayed. I can’t believe our shining moment has turned out to be a really embarrassing experience. All throughout the dance, I kept on frowning at her!! Despite our catastrophic unlucky experience, we ended up winning the second prize. After the contest, Ate Mabel explained to me what had happened and so we’re cool again!
Trivia about Gerryl: She used to love keeping her feet wet and moist all the time! She also likes to apply vicks vapor rub on her nose- a.k.a. addicted to vicks!
Even though the three of us have taken our own separate paths in life, we are always here for each other. We might be a few thousand miles away, but the distance is never a hindrance. The precious memories are there to remain- silly, embarrassing, painful and happy. The present might be a little different, but we will never fail to remember where we came from. The past will always be a part of who we are now and what will become in the future.
