Got this tag from Ana of the Filipina Mom in Denmark.  There’s nothing we could do but pray for the victims of the recent typhoon that badly hit some major cities in the Philippines.  Fr. Stephen Cuyos of Happy Faith started this prayer.

Prayer for the victims of the typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)

Loving Father, you are our shelter and our hope. We come to you with hearts full of trust in your love and mercy.

We pray for the victims of tropical storm Ondoy. May those who have lost homes and properties find shelter, enough food and clean water. Comfort those who are traumatized and those who are grieving for the loss of their families, neighbors and friends. Bless those who are sick and those who are injured that their health may be restored and their wounds cured. May you lead all who are stranded or lost back to those who love them. Guide the hands of the rescuers, the doctors and nurses and other volunteers and give them strength as they serve others with joy.

May this calamity bring people closer together, to help each other and to care for the environment. Give us the faith, the hope and the love to carry on. This we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

I’m tagging Joy, Amor, Maricris, Juler and other Filipino bloggers who want to spread this prayer tag.

Dear Rozella,

I don’t really know how to tell you this, the mafia wants you. I think I realized it when your dog humped my leg in your closet. And I saw you bit of my corned beef hash. I’m sure you’re shamed enough to understand that I get turned on only by garbage men. I’m returning the couch cushions, but I’ll keep your glass eye as a memory. You should also know that I hate your cooking and I have a passionate interest for mice.

Greetings to your frog Leonard,
Marlene

“If you don’t know me by now, you will never, never know me.”  But now you will know the things that you don’t know about me cause I’ve been tagged by the Dot com Guru,  Shanker Bakshi.  He doesn’t normally post a meme on his blog so I was surprised when he did this meme.  His blog shares about making money online mixed with his personal ramblings. Through this meme, I’ve learned a bit of the Dot com Guru and how he (seriously) elaborated the interesting facts about him. Thanks to you, Shanker, for now it’s my turn to surprise everybody about me.

I’ve done a meme like this before but in a different title and there I enumerated the seven facts about me that other’s didn’t know. In order not to repeat or rewrite the same things I thought it must be interesting to list down the things others know about me but I might not have known. And the only “other” person I could think of asking is none other than my ever good and loving hubby.

Here are what he had to say about me:

[1] Sweet
He always say this to me. I had not known I was sweet to anybody but I think I could only be sweet to a person close to me. And he has the reason to say this after almost nine years of our marriage.

[2] Kind
As far as I am concerned, I am not cruel. I am not a nagging wife. When I’m upset or something, I keep mum before bursting out what I feel inside and the reason for being so.

[3] Sexy
Hahahaa! I laughed when he said this. It’s hard for me to believe this but I’ve always had a slim figure and that doesn’t mean I have a voluptuous body, too.

[4] Stubborn
I don’t believe he mentioned this. I’ve known this for a fact. I wonder how many “others” knew that I am stubborn. I do and say what I think is right and tend to learn from whatever consequences it may give me.

[5] Generous
I remember my mother and my sister said that I was stingy but hubby said the opposite. I think I am both. I couldn’t share the last penny I have when nothing’s left of me afterwards. But I share to those in need and I don’t exaggerate helping.

[6] Smart
Uhurrm! When I asked him why he said so, this is what he had to say: “You’re smart because you chose me.” I’ll leave it this way.

[7] Tech-savvy
Actually, I thank him for this one cause if not from him, I wouldn’t have known about technology, specifically, computing. But I am still reluctant to introduce myself as such to other people. He even said that I’m good at choosing the right (tech) things to buy. But for me, he’s the expert.

I guess I have laid down the seven things you should or would know about me and it’s now time to pass this meme to others and let them spread their true colors, hehee! I’m tagging Maiah (former colleague in Davao), Myrtle (former colleague and boss in Davao), Joy of Oz, Jerico (who needs a boost to continue blogging), Catherine,  Eds and Sweetiepie.
