Im Grilled!

I take on the challenge that lady cess prompted in her home that she'll ask tough questions.. and they were indeed tough! Made me think through all of them thoroughly! I have to actually print them and chew them over while packing this afternoon. :D

Thanks, Cess!

1. Let's say you bumped into the person whom you treated as a friend yet walked out on you after getting your money. How would you talk to her? What would you tell her?

Situation that makes you hummm. :) I am actually looking forward to this scene. Maybe, I could not talk to her after all. I might be able to give her a weak, dry smile and if the situation entails us to be together for a long while, I might just be looking intently at her.. know what her reaction would be and just shrug my shoulder. I know, I could not muster a courage to open up a small talk about the money nor make a friendly conversation. Unless, she would do first. I'm sure she just doesn't forget that she owes me the money why she has not paid until now, so there's no point of me reminding her to return or pay it. If she has the intention, she should have done so, or if it was way beyond her means, she could have at least politely informed me that she's just buying time to save for it.

I have realized a long time ago that I can't make a good business-woman especially if the goods that I'm selling are for credit. I just can't come-up to the person that owes me money and ask her to pay me.

But, I am sure.. I would regret it that I didn't remind her about the money after the encounter. :D

2. You said it would take a long time before you job hunt. What would convince you that it's time to look for a job?

My Husband and I agreed that I won't take a full-time job where I have to leave the house while our kid is still in school and needs supervision. But, I would be compel to hurdle this even if the time isn't ripe yet, when the going get's tough; it is crunching time; the cash flow is really running low; my husband's income is not enough to support the family; we have exhausted all the resources and possibilities available and the only option is for me to go out and land a job.

But if things go smoothly and as planned and when I see that a job won't jeopardise my role as a mother and a wife; I would be happy to take-on a part time job like working from home. I would still be available anytime for our child while earning wages.

3. How many children do you plan to have?

Initially, I just want one. But my kins suggested that we make it two because, it would be lonely to be an only child so we're considering that but not really planning about it.

4. What does your husband usually do when you're sad?

I really mull over this question for a long while. I even asked MCJ (my husband) and he answered me "when?". :D I have to think when was the last time that I was sad and what are those things that really make me feel that way.

I am an easy-going and happy-go-lucky person. I can say that I mostly worry about things but seldom they make me feel sad.

I know the concept of "thinking positive" but was not practising it to heart until I met MCJ. He had encouraged me to practise it almost all the time and re-inforced it when he saw I had run out of it. He had taught me to count my blessings always and be thankful because there are more people all over the world that need just the basics and more than we do and yet they don't have any. And more importantly, he made me strengthen my faith in God.

And when ever I feel down.. I am the first person to remind myself that I should not be as everything will get better and brighter in His time. I just have to wait.

That's MCJ's legacy to me.

On the mushy side, matampuhin po talaga akong masyado! And when I am sulking, MCJ would just tickle me (i am also very ticklish) and when the reason of me sulking is just superficial, I would feel alright by then but if it's a "storm" and the sulking goes for an hour or so and I have a valid reason, he would give in and let me have my way. As we go along, I have come to know when my sulking had passed his limits and that I should drop it or when to carry on like a pregnant duck. :D

And oh, I really think.. MCJ has a very good sense of humor so he can make me laugh even if sometimes, I am on the verge of shedding a tear.

Ah basta, if the person loves you and you love him back, he can always makes you feel better no matter what!

5. Describe the Princess we can expect to see 5 years from now.

I am actually hesitant to answer this question, as I'm afraid to speculate about our/my future. :)

But, if and if.. the internet and computer would still be in-use by then, I could still be blogging. :P

On the home-front, I may be able to know how to cook our meals for the entire week, knows how to bake a cake, make my own recipe for pinoy-style spaghetti sauce and master cooking rice in the microwave oven.

On being a mother, I might already be able to learn how to drive and take our child to school and pick him up after class. And getting there for being a mum, friend and playmate that our child needs.

On being a wife, I might still be the childish, demanding, bossy-boots me. :D And still trying and doing my best to be a good wife.

I plan to stay as what I am as a friend, daughter, sister, citizen, child of God.. if I can not improve myself in these roles.

And, I would be enjoying life to the fullest!
