Household Chores Meme

According to the rules, I am to list down the household chores I hate and why I hate them. Then copy the image provided and tag as many people as you want. Add your blogs link to the domesticated divas linky love and leave a comment at Stripe & Yellow to be added to the master list.

My most hated household chores are:

1. Washing the Dishes - I hate the fact that everyone else is back in their rooms doing something else, and here I am dealing with a pile of plates, if you know what I mean.

2. Sweeping the floor/Dusting - I had asthma growing up, so encounters with dusts always left me wheezing.

3. Mopping the floor - I don’t think I can ever do that. It’s the most tiring household chore. Watching my helpers do it makes me tired, how much more if I was the one doing it.

4. Laundry - only because we handwash our clothes. I’m glad somebody takes care of it.

What’s in a Blog Name?

Posted by girlie on April 22, 2008

Did you ever find it hard to name your blog? How many times did you change your blog name? JMom was intrigued by the answers she found at Allan’s Blog, that is why she turned the question into a meme. Nice idea, JMom.

So the question is, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BLOG’S NAME?

Leave your answer in the comment section and post the same question to your readers. Make sure you link back to the person who tagged you so we can follow where the other responses are. This should be fun and interesting!

Now I’d like to find out how you came up with your blog’s name:
KC
Jen
Cuz
Daphne
Thess
Francine

Why is this blog named HiPnCooLMoMMa?

You can find the answer over at JMom’s Blog.

What My Hands Say About Me

Posted by girlie on August 21, 2007

I almost forgot about this tag by Cousin Marie

What Your Hands Say About You

You are logical, analytical, and rational. You have good verbal skills.Idealistic and dreamy, you tend toward the impractical. You have a knack for getting yourself in sticky situations. Consistent and reliable, you like to count on structure and routine in your life. Your emotions tend to be well though out. You’re willing to wait out a bad situation, and you’re never too quick to act.

What Do Your Hands Say About You?

* Yeah I think I am logical, analytical and rational enough, now that I am a lil older. I used to be really shy, as much as possible I don’t want to be heard. Again now that I’m a lil older, I make it a point that I am heard and understood. * Sticky situations? Oh not anymore, I have learned to stay away from it. I’m no longer the dreamy type, I have learned to face reality.

* Yeah you can say that…I am consistent and reliable…if I want to ^_^ Yep it’s quite routinary and gets boring =(

* Again, maybe goes with the age, I have mellowed ^_^

Seems like i’ve tagged everyone else…anyways if you wanna do this, feel free to grab it ^_^ 

June 18

Posted by girlie on August 20, 2007

Did it ever cross your mind to find out who was born on your birth day, what important event happened, or where in the world there’s a holiday? If yes, then this is the perfect meme for you. Thanks Janice for the tag.

What do I need to do?Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day).Write down three events, 2 births, 1 holiday and tag 5 friends.There are five slots in the Birthday Meme. As you are tagged, you have to remove the name in the first slot and bump everyone up so that your name can be added to the bottom.

I am born on June 18, and that makes me a Gemini ^_^

Important Events that happened on June 18:
1. 1928 - Aviator Amelia Earhart becomes the first woman to fly in an aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean
2. 1983 - Space Shuttle program: STS-7, Astronaut Sally Ride becomes the first American woman in space.
3. 2006 - The first Kazakh space satellite, KazSat is launched.

I share the same birthday with:
1. Paul McCartney of the Beatles
2. Isabella Rossillini, a beautiful Italian actress

Celebrated Holiday:
1. Autistic Pride Day, beginning in 2005.

I’m tagging my 5 friends:

.:: The "Face Behind The Blog" .::

Posted by girlie on July 23, 2007

Since I have posted a lot of pictures in my blog and the rule states that I should still post a picture, so here’s a picture of me that has never been seen before ^_^ Yes that’s me unmade, sans make up and all, straight out of bed. A filipina blogger, based in Quezon City, Philippines. Married to a wonderful and loving but sometimes impossible guy named Nelson. I have two beautiful kids, Isha, a bookworm (turning 14) and Josh, a videogame lover (11). I am a SAHM most of the time, but works as an assistant to my hubby, a photographer. We cover weddings mainly. At 41, I still consider myself hip and cool, thus the blog HiPNCooLMoMMa. I’m like the mommy version of Punky Brewster (well i’d like to think of it that way). I’m starting to love being the official cook of the family, it helps drive away boredom. I too joined the bandwagon of being a “postie”, it’s fulfilling to be earning quite a few moolah by doing sponsored posts. I’m happy being ME!

Thanks for the tag JaniceAnd here’s the instruction to this meme :1st step - Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already showed a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.2nd step - Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference.3rd step - Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.

4th step - If you link back to me here and send me an email. I’ll be sure to include links back to you.
Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.

Some of the blogs that I know which put up picture(s) of me are :
