1. My mom got my name from the Biblical name, Naomi

5 Thoughts on “Thursday Thirteen:Number 1

  1. Welcome to TT. I’m new too – my second week. I can’t drive without music playing in the background – doesn’t have to be 80s though. I usually just plug in my iPod now.

  2. I like your name. Who’s Naomi na nga in the Bible? I keep thinking of the “Song of Ruth.” Are Ruth and Naomi connected? Parang mag-biyenan yata diba?

  3. naomi is the daughter of Ruth … not sure if daughter in law.

  4. Nice to meet you and welcome to TT!

  5. Welcome to TT! Interesting list and thanks for letting us get to know you
