The Simple Life of a Baghag

Start copy paste the instructions: To play this game, all you must do is explain what your most common writing mistake is. Then, simply tag 5 people for the meme. Those 5 will, in return, tag 5 more people. Ultimately, readers should see a tapestry of common grammar and spelling mistakes. Therefore, anyone who feel ashamed of their errors will feel a bit more confident and secure.Copy the person and persons’ names that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps build community.

The answers:
Shine with Grace : Mixing the word ‘from’ with ‘form’ all the time.
Trinity : I sometimes feel confused to use past tense or present tense when I share my stories.
LadyJava : Typing too fast that sometimes I miss words in between.
Genie King : I type too fast too… always end up with ‘tot he’… when it should be ‘to the’.
Spiff : I type too fast that I end up with sentences that have no spaceinbetween… LOL!
Nessa : Mostly grammatical mistakes… but it doesn’t really bother me as long as my readers understand
Choc Mint Girl: Obviously grammatical error due to lack of vocabulary…but getting better and better and better…he he he…
Liza : I type too fast too that’s why sometimes my spellings are wrongf… see. Lol And same with Grace, mixing the word from and form at times. (I’ll be posting this tag to my other
blogCecil: errors on grammar and sometimes I don’t know where to place my comma or when to use colon or semi-colon too.)Nancy: I’m always trying to use every function of my fingers but can’t really help but slip which resulted to pressing the wrong key most of the time.Darlene: I always made a mistake by typing HELATH instead of HEALTH. Sometime the FOR is FOT because the R and the T are very close to each other lol! Anyway i always do mistakes when i type, everybody does i guess no matter how good you are in typing you always make some mistakes.Bisdak Footprints I usually have wrong typo when I am in a hurry typing entries during PPP time because need to be fast so I can grab as many opps as I can.For that,wrong typo making my english look worse to others.They read it before I can do some editing..they might think my english is so bad..ahhermmm…but i edit it anyways…
Twerlermz : I’m using basic or simple english most of the time so i think my most common mistakes are : redundancy, spelling and grammar (toink!)
Thira: I type too fast too, sometimes my mind is way ahead with my typing so I miss out and misspell words and I have to go back and read again and correct it. Sometimes using the past and present tense in writing, and using the hyphen properly,wehehe:)
Juliana: I always mis-spell “you”. More often that not I type it as “oyu” because I’m typing fast and because it’s a three letter word, it’s prone to get typed incorrectly. It’s good there’s a spelling checker hehe, I always catch the mistake before it is published.
Teebob : If I write an article about a male person I often use her or she instead of him or he.
Norm : Sometimes I’m confused of the grammar and right spelling. Then I’m typing so fast that usually miss-spell taht instead of that and many more.
Pretty Life Online : Overusing dashes for separation, this interrupt the flow of my words. Typing too fast so sometimes I miss out and my fingers end up misspelling the words…..LOL!
Joey: I usually type while I’m thinking. But sometimes I haven’t organized my thoughts yet before typing, hence I end up with a lot of grammatical errors and/or spelling mistakes.
Peachy: I type a bit too fast, so I end up mixing letters especially in YM. like Hehehe.. it turns out to be jejeje… LOL! I should use a bigger keyboard.. what u think?

Jesse
i tend to type so fast hence resulting to lots of wrongly spelled words, lol. Also, i'm not really a writer so most of my english is basic, simple and plain.

I’m tagging Darlene, Dauphine, Diane, Petra and Kelly

Thanks to Peachy for this tag!

I've been to places within Luzon and the farthest I have seen was Boracay in Aklan! lol I hope in the coming year I will be able to explore more of our contry especially in the Visayas and Mindanao region.

My Lakbayan grade is D!

How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!

Yey! Sorry, I just had to post this. I love my new Crocs. Thanks to my hubby, who was a recent Crocs-convert by the way, for buying this wonderful, beautiful Crocs Mickey! I love it!

Last saturday, my family and I went to MOA to check out the christmas happenings there. It was also some sort of quality time with my dad who's here in Manila for a visit and for his regular check-up as well. We were there at around 3 in the afternoon and boy!, there were a lot of people already!! I couldn't figure out where to start coz every place in the mall was jampacked with early christmas shoppers. But you can already feel that christmas is really just around the corner. There was a giant Christmas Tree in the main mall, the christmas decors are beautiful and they're playing christmas carols all throughout the day. We decided to watch a movie as my dad loves doing it. Everytime he's here in manila, we always take him to the movies. Afterwhich, we watched the sun set and waited for the fireworks display at 7P.M. It was so great! We love fireworks! My brother had so much fun taking pictures of the beautiful sunset and the mall from the manila bay side and siyempre, of us! lol! I'm sorry i wasn't able to post some pictures yet as I have to get it from my brother pa. But will post them as soon as I got hold of my copies. We had dinner, did some shopping for my dad and capped the nightoff by having coffee at Seattle's Best. We left the mall around 10:30 na. It was past my dad's bed time (hehehe he sleeps at around 8:30 in the evening). It was a very tiring day for all of us but we sure had so much fun. I love Christmas!! :)

Thanks to Abie for this linky love chain :)

Finally, the long wait is over! After weeks of waiting including the delays, my belledejour power planner is now here! I got hold of it last wednesday after I picked it up from Coffee Bean in Robinson's Galleria. Wohoo!!



Wow! Would you believe I had to fall in line just to get it?! Here's a picture I took while I was in line. We were practically outside the coffee shop and were allowed to enter only two at a time!

Those two girls you see distributing the planners are Kat & Daryl, the owners/publishers. Notice the stack of planner at the bottom



When it was my turn, I gave my name and the pretty girl immediately searched for my name in her long list. Finally, I was confirmed and my reserved planner was given to me. And what's more, due to the delay (caused by errors in printing) I was given a discount of 10%! So instead of paying 548 pesos (the original price) I only paid 493 pesos! I love discounts! Also, as an added treat, a specially designed bookmark was also included in each planner. Isn't nice? :)

When I got home, I immediately browse the planner to check if it's complete. I'm so excited to see the many features of this wonderful planner and I want to show them to you guys:

the "charm" bookmark



the menstrual tracker (this is interesting)



Goal planner



vacation planner (love the monogram trunks)



And most especially, the reason why I wanted to have this planner so badly, the Discount coupons!!!! Yipee! There are 3 coupons per month or a total of 36 discounts from different establishments. I super love it!






Can't wait to use it na :)

I'm now tagging Abie, Aggie, Alpha. Alynn, Apols, Arlene, Dauphine, Diane, Eds, Em, Erika and Eunie.

As promised, I would like to present to you our humble tree :) I finally had the chance to put some decors. The motif is a combination of bronze, copper, gold and silver. Last year, was pink and silver. If you're wondering where our tree is situated, it's actually at the ground floor of our unit which used to be a commercial area (hence the shelves and aluminum doors and glass in the pic). We used to place the tree upstairs where we live but this year I decided to have it place here so that it can be viewed from the outside. Sayang naman if walang makakapansin, di ba? :) We have plans of renovating the ground floor but maybe next year or if budget permits he he he. SO what do you think? papasa na ba?

before


after

This is super late but I need to post this as promised. It's a very special occasion as it was my hunny's natal day. We spent that weekend doing nothing but eat, eat, and eat, lol. Saturday, the day before his birthday, he spent the day at camp crame for his annual "firing" session as a requirement for the security agency he currently handles. They had lunch at Dad's/Saisaki/Kamayan in Edsa-Greenhills. I wasn't able to join him though as I was attending a company seminar that day. It was also a chance for me to buy my gift for him so after the seminar, I immediately went to shangri-la plaza. I bought my gift, a Lacoste shoes (which he loved by the way.. wohoo!), and gave it to him when he fetched me from the mall. I was so excited I couldn't help myself so I gave it to him na :)

The following day, Sunday, his actual birthday, went to mass before joining my in-laws for lunch at Dad's again! They can't seem to get enough of Dad's! After lunch, we went to shang to exchange my gift to a bigger size sice he wanted to check out if it will fit him better. Hay! I wasn't good really at this! Anyways, we spent the whole afternoon strolling in the mall and went home to have some rest before our set dinner with his family and mine. For dinner, we chose the Healthy Shabu-Shabu in the Block since we wanted our families to experience the thrill of cooking your own food. Shabu-Shabs (as I fondly call it) is a new fave of ours because of its uniqueness and of course, the idea of eating healthy. My family wasn't able to join us since they had prior engagement but still we had a good time. Here are some of the pictures from these two special days...to my hunny, Happy, Happy Birthday! Hope I made you happy on your special day! I love you!

I am Charlie Brown!



(10-16 points) You are Garfield : You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what's i nand you are never are out of style You are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing togive advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic andyou always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown: You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:You are smart and definitely a thinker... Every situation is frontedwith a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity.

Hi pips! Hope you guys had a nice weekend!

As for me, I was able to finally finish decorating our tree! Yes! I still have to take a picture of it as I promised you guys that I will post it once it's done. Anyways, I was also able to watch the movie "ENCHANTED" last saturday with my friend, Malou in Trinoma. I like it so much! Not only because the cutie Patrick Dempsey was there but the whole movie is very light, romantic and musical. It's a feel good movie. I was surprised that the movie started as a cartoon but later on, the scene transformed into the real world. It's magical and funny and the kids watching at that time loved it the most! After the movies, we went to check out the recently opened GAP store! Yes! There's a Gap outlet here in the Phil. already (one also opened in Glorietta) I super love their clothes there. It's classy! I love that their pieces are something that I can wear at work and during my casual or free time. I love it! I'm looking forward to going there a lot to check out their new collection :)

Sunday was spent also in the mall after hearing mass in the morning. I was able to do the grocery thank God! We haven't had anything to eat na, lol. My dad arrived from the province last night for his check-up so it's a full-packed week ahead for me. Hay! So many things to do but I love it! Have a great week ahead everyone :)
