A Filipina Mom Blogger

Migs has been tagging me for this “Disclosure meme” since last week. It’s about time I blog about something..anything. I’ve been out of the loop lately because I’m brimming with joy over surprising turn of events. Happy News. It seems when I’m obsessed over these unusual twists , I get “manic” according to my husband. I’ll talk more about it next week when the deal is final. (Hint: One of my New Year Goals)

Five secrets about me that you probably don’t know. I might have blogged about some of these secrets in past entries but let me just list them down.

1. Annoyance over habitual latecomers- I am such a stickler for time that it pisses me off when people arrive ONE HOUR late without any notice. It’s common decency to advise the other party or whoever is waiting for you on your estimated time of arrival. I’m fine if you’re late as long as I know beforehand so I can do something with my time.

2. Fear of dentist- I’ve had this fear ever since I had profuse bleeding when my molar was pulled out.

3. Handy woman- I can climb towards the roof of my house (then a bungalow) and repair roof leaks. I can also fix leaking pipes and electric wiring. But….I probably made my husband feel inferior when I did all that during our first year of marriage.

4. Lazy cook- I only cook on special occasions or birthdays. During the first ten years of my married life, I trained all the maids to cook, even the yaya (caregiver). I trained them to read recipes as well. After a few years, they turned out to be better cooks than I am so I let them do the cooking now. These days, I write the recipe, give instructions and then taste their cooking if it’s alright. Haha, lazy.

5. Fear of driving in high places- Driving near the Tagaytay ridge or towards Baguio City makes me throw up. High places just nauseates me. I once drove to Tagaytay but my eyes focused straight ahead not looking once at the deep ridge.

So now you know. What about you?
