I'm doing this not because it's a part of my task but I'd also like to share the happenings that have occurred over the past 3 months because there sure have been quite a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've all heard of the death of the Philippines' first woman president, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corazon_Aquino"&gt;Corazon Cojuangco Aquino&lt;/a&gt;. The moment I've heard the news on TV, it was early Saturday morning, shocked as I am, but I cried. It felt like I've lost the reason why I am living freely today. Cory's repose is a huge loss to the Filipino people. Many were saddened, among them most is her family. I hope that somewhere out there, Cory is happy in the arms of her husband, Ninoy Aquino. May they both rest in peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came the typhoons such as &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ondoy &lt;/span&gt;which have recently caused a massive destruction to many houses, businesses and hundreds of lives. Luckily our island never had to suffer from such a catastrophic event. Thank God, there are those people who have extended their help and support in order to provide the needs of the victims. This way, Filipinos have once again shown to the world how helpful and supportive we are to our fellowmen. Filipinos surely are survivors and kind by nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me and my family, there's nothing much happened really, of course except for the fast development and growth of my daughter, Lauriana Akeesha. She's 10-months old and does many tricks that have us adore and love her even more. Growing up a child is challenging but the rewards that come along with it, is definitely priceless. It's one of the things in this world, money can never buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time flies by so quickly that we never notice how much we've grown, how many things we've missed and more. As the cliche goes, "Life is short." - thus we should make the most out of it, instead of wasting it into other useless and meaningless deeds. Give each and every opportunity your best shot as it may be your last. Let's treasure the things we have as nothing lasts forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time... Make every moment count.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-4016984931922553201?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/TLhlDmTqGc0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/4016984931922553201/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=4016984931922553201" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/4016984931922553201?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/4016984931922553201?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/TLhlDmTqGc0/whats-with-us-lately.html" title="What's with us lately?" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SsrcVBLmg_I/AAAAAAAAAN0/sUlObVS8hsE/s72-c/life.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2009/10/whats-with-us-lately.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEcNRns4fSp7ImA9WxJVFEg.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-534905780524538188</id><published>2009-07-01T06:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T06:48:17.535-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-01T06:48:17.535-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="family" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="love" /><title>You Changed My Life - Overhauled</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/ShIkYjGp2-I/AAAAAAAAAM8/-rkUAb9-dOk/s200/53.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 143px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/ShIkYjGp2-I/AAAAAAAAAM8/-rkUAb9-dOk/s200/53.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#33CC00;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Akeesha is not only my daughter.

Many of the people I knew from college and high school noticed of what a big change I've made of myself.

Whenever she's with us, it's been a priority for us to make sure that she's feeling protected and comfortable.

We stumbled upon ShopWiki.com which gave us very good advice on choosing the right car seat for our daughter. After all the helpful tips we learned, it lead us to stores which offers the safest, nicest-looking baby car seats at an affordable price.

Can you still remember what it feels like on your first day of job after your maternity leave? Uneasy and worried, right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;You just want to rush back home and cuddle your sweet little angel and wish to spend the whole day playing, making sure she's fed when hungry, cleansed after poop, cuddled when she needs one, sleeps when tired and comfortable and happy as much as possible.  Quality time is the best term for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;As for me, as much as I wanted, I want to be there to witness all of Akeesha's first wonders. Her smile, giggle, word, roll, crawl, sit, stand, walk, run, everything!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;A day without her is not a day at all. However, there are other responsibilities that I have to do apart from taking care of my precious baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Nah! Emo as you may call it, I don't care, I just want her to know that I love her so much even if I'm not with her the entire day. Everytime I go home, I end up finding her already sound asleep. We don't have anymore time for bonding. In turn, it makes me question my responsibilities for her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Am I being a good mom? What do you think guys?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-2536257504377147555?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/63b89Y7ib5Y" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/2536257504377147555/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=2536257504377147555" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/2536257504377147555?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/2536257504377147555?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/63b89Y7ib5Y/day-without-my-baby.html" title="A day without my baby" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/Sc3IQpDYr3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/un4tZg6Celk/s72-c/IMG_1227.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-without-my-baby.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D08MQ30-eyp7ImA9WxVUGUs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-3894750870426767798</id><published>2009-03-25T00:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-25T00:24:42.353-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-25T00:24:42.353-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="running shoes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="running shoes guide" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="shopwiki.com" /><title>Buying The Right Pair of Running Shoes</title><content type="html">&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Any typical runner picks a &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes"&gt;running&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes"&gt; shoes&lt;/a&gt; according to their personality and needs. They wish to have the perfect shoes, but the question is, how do they choose the right pair of running shoes? So I did a search on Google about guides of buying running shoes and I stumbled upon &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/"&gt;shopwiki.com&lt;/a&gt;. On their &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes"&gt;Running Shoes Buying Guide&lt;/a&gt;, I learned that there are considerations that must be observed before rushing to the store. Also that price and brand comes latter. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Primary consideration is to know the runner's foot type; neutral-arched foot, low-arched foot or high-arched foot. Next is finding the shoe type that suits to the foot type. Choices are stability, cushioned or motion control shoes. Learning the right type can lead to choosing the perfect brand and model that is suitable to the runner needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Now surely, purchasing the right shoes won't be disappointing anymore because with a good pair of &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes"&gt;running shoes&lt;/a&gt; on, a runner can go everywhere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-3894750870426767798?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/g34GAOBbEeE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/3894750870426767798/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=3894750870426767798" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/3894750870426767798?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/3894750870426767798?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/g34GAOBbEeE/buying-right-pair-of-running-shoes.html" title="Buying The Right Pair of Running Shoes" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2009/03/buying-right-pair-of-running-shoes.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkUBRno6fip7ImA9WxVUEko.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-4187114673505749331</id><published>2009-03-16T22:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T23:10:57.416-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-16T23:10:57.416-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="house" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="life" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="family" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="relationship" /><title>♥ Moving in ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/Sb8-qnL_k9I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/b-cVJwajky0/s1600-h/packing_box.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/Sb8-qnL_k9I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/b-cVJwajky0/s200/packing_box.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314034987115189202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We recently moved in to my in-laws' house by request. Having to undergo adjustments and leaving the things and people I used to be with, was never a situation which I can just easily do and move on. But the fact that I'm in the said situation, there's no use crying over it and go back, though how painful and at the same time tempting it can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The things I used to despise are now haunting me and surprisingly, I miss them. My mother's big mouth, stubbornness, and constant visit to our room just to check on Akeesha which at times really annoys me a lot and Bridgette's nuisance, disturbance and funny but sometimes annoying ways are the most things I miss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't really sure if I should be happy or not but what I'm so sure about is that I miss them but it's time to move on and try on different kind of environment and company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-4187114673505749331?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/GtDmMCl-cNo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/4187114673505749331/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=4187114673505749331" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/4187114673505749331?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/4187114673505749331?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/GtDmMCl-cNo/moving-in.html" title="♥ Moving in ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/Sb8-qnL_k9I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/b-cVJwajky0/s72-c/packing_box.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2009/03/moving-in.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkQMRH86eyp7ImA9WxVVGU8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-1112100994370945923</id><published>2009-03-12T22:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-12T23:06:25.113-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-12T23:06:25.113-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Math" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Miscellaneous" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="13" /><title>♥ Fear of Friday the 13th ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Fear of the Friday the 13th is called "paraskavedekatriaphobia".

From the moment that I was on labor up to now, I still can't believe how I've made it through. The whole experience was never easy at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    The nine months of carrying a big ball in my tummy, unexplainable mood swings, weird food cravings, stabbing headache and the forever-taking and oh-so-tiring labor. All these sufferings I endured prior to Akeesha's birth. But it doesn't end there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    On Akeesha's first 2 months,  GJ and I are lucky if we can get  a 4-hour sleep. Apart from that are the backaches and wristaches we get from carrying her because she resents to be put to bed. The endless and loud cries we hear whenever she's hungry, pooped, peed, have tummy-aches and even while BATHING. Yes, you read that right. There's never a day that passed that she never cried over bathing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    It never ever dawned me that these things can happen. Sure, I had an experience babysitting my nephews but never did I expect this. It's worst than I thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    Inspite of the tiresome days we had from babysitting my baby, at the end of each day, then we learned are things that can only be taken from first-hand experience of being a mom, a parent. That no matter how messy, demanding, noisy and annoying baby she can be, she'll always be my baby, my angel, my inspiration, my life, my love, my VERY OWN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

part of the Top 36, and was expecting to go to the next round inspite screwing up the lyrics during the Hollywood rounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    On the  February 11 broadcast of the show, Fox TV announced that Joanna Pacitti was an "ineligible to continue" without reasons disclosed. Could it be that her past accomplishments had anything to do with this? Star magazine have speculated that the reasons behind the sudden act was because of Pacitti's "very close connections"  to two executives that work in American Idol's 19 Entertainment Los Angeles office, namely, Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Aside from her "connections", her past accomplishments might have added to the stir, where Pacitti at the age of 12 have already starred on "Annie". She also recorded songs on the soundtrack from the movies, "Legally Blonde" and Bratz". Her song "Out from Under" was  covered on Britney Spears' 2008 album, Circus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    As of the moment Pacitti has not yet given her comment about the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was replaced by the 26-year old married mom, Felicia Barton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-8529472750073959990?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/BgObNC_XAQs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/8529472750073959990/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=8529472750073959990" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/8529472750073959990?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/8529472750073959990?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/BgObNC_XAQs/joanna-pacitti-disqualified.html" title="♥ Joanna Pacitti, disqualified? ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SZTp2dwXkiI/AAAAAAAAAI4/sQZMBXx9FMY/s72-c/tn_356_JoannaPacitti17_1200459280.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2009/02/joanna-pacitti-disqualified.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CE4NRXg-cSp7ImA9WxVXFE4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-2452184554240256024</id><published>2009-02-12T01:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T02:03:14.659-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-12T02:03:14.659-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pictures" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Akeesha" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="baby" /><title>♥ Akeesha's Recent Pictures ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SZPzcQevDSI/AAAAAAAAAIw/VEmGEhn3duk/s1600-h/sHi-j%28462%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

I'm an elementary dropout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. During my 2nd year in HS, I used to wear boys' tees size L and size 29 jeans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. Sometime during my college days, I was punk goth chic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;4. At 10 years old, I was hooked to the Bingo game.  Gamble involved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;5. I attempted committing suicide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;6. I have 4 diaries all about my love life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;7. I cheated on our final exam in Math when I was in 4th yr HS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;8. I was brought to hospital for low sugar due to consequent drinking session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;9. I was once crowned as Mutya ng Flores de Mayo. LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;10.

   While I was on leave, found myself bored and getting fatter each day. With GJ on work, there's nothing I can do but stay at home, sleep, eat, bathe, watch tv and listen to music. Every once in a while though I was doing some mild exercises. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I've always made it an afternoon ritual, once the clock hits 4:30 pm, I'd turn the TV on, change the channel to ABC-2 and the marathon begins. From Jimmy Neutron, Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar - change channel - then by 7:30 starts my favorite anime, Fushigi Yuugi. Weee!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I was a huge fanatic of this anime back when I was in 2nd year HS. Back then, the anime was being aired on GMA-5 on the same time. It was airing nicely and my friends and I never fail to miss a night w/o watching Fushigi Yuugi, not until they suddenly halted from showing the anime for no reason at all. That really pissed us off!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The level of piss didn't get me to the point of crying over it, unlike the Ghost Fighter. I totally cried over that anime when it ended. I'm such a sissy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    Years later (9 years to be exact), finally one network aired it again, thanks to ABC-2. Then on, it became my ritual every weeknights to watch Fushigi Yuugi not until my leave was almost up. I said to myself, I'm not going to let myself disappointed again for missing the show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    Cool thing, my bebeh bought it on DVD. All hail to DVD's!!!  I'm sorry MTRCB, I have no choice, I have to buy a pirated one. So much for that, with 52 episodes overall, I watched it on a marathon. 7 hours the 1st day and 4 hours the next then it's done. Am I not acting that obvious that I'm SO into it? haha I ain't denying though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    Fushigi Yuugi, Mysterious Play in English is about a girl named, Miyaka Yuki, a HS student, who was mysteriously taken to a different world with her bestfriend Yui by a book, The Universe of the Four Gods. Both of them, turned out to become as priestesses for two different empire. Miyaka as the Priestess of Suzaku and Yui as Priestess of Seiryu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;With Yui's hatred for Miyaka due to the misfortunes she have encountered while on the magical world and learning that Miyaka only came back for her love, Tamahome and not for her, she turned herself to the Kutou Empire and accepted to be their priestess to revenge against Miyaka.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    The rivalry between the Konan and Kutou Empire have made Miyaka and Yui's relationship hanging in a thread. They found themselves racing against each other to be the first one to summon their Gods in exchange of three wishes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;    In the end, both priestess were able to summon the Gods and get three wishes.

I never thought time can fly by so fast that we can even hardly notice the massive changes that's happening around us, between us and within us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That at some point in my life, I was once a punk rock chic, whose life is centered with having fun, hanging out with friends, venturing my love-life, ended up with a broken heart, soul and dignity. There's also a point in my life where I'm on top of my league, getting and doing exactly what I wanted out of its impossibility. A pedestal, is what how everyone sees me. Lastly a point, just so little part of my life that I barely even give attention of, BEING ME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first part of that 45 months, I was walking in life like a zombie, not really sure If I should be out there with the rest of the dead people and continue living in hell or fight against that fact and find a cure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, the hero and I crossed paths, I attacked him for the reason that I AM A ZOMBIE, I attack people, hurt them, eat them til they become my own kind. Yet the hero carrying the one and only cure, neither dodged nor used his weapon against me to save his very own existence. Unaware of his being immune to such kind of monstrosity, he tied me with him, injected me the cure, kept me clinging on to him. Inspite of me, confused of what this hero is trying to do to me, if he's ending my despair by killing me or bringing me into a life, nobody knows If I'd be able to live with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hero stayed there, right beside me, until I finally came to my human senses and realized how dangerous and noble this hero has done to me. He revived me out of the evil inside me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being grateful was never enough in exchange of the marvelous deed he's done. Eventually, after many attempts of violent reaction left from the cure, the disease went away. And that left me with love, friendship, respect and trust for the hero whom I've learned and nourished those genuine things from. If not for this hero, I would have been the same Zombie: ruthless, faithless, insensitive, I used to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-6339246417252170836?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/zWy0iMCP7mw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/6339246417252170836/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=6339246417252170836" title="4 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/6339246417252170836?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/6339246417252170836?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/zWy0iMCP7mw/45th-monthsary.html" title="♥ 45th Monthsary ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2008/10/45th-monthsary.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0IFRnY9cCp7ImA9WxVXEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-1629965744185757853</id><published>2008-09-22T12:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T21:58:37.868-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-09T21:58:37.868-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="motherhood" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="baby-gaga" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pregnancy" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="update" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="baby" /><title>♥ Lauriana Akeesha's 30th week ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SNfs9_S1x9I/AAAAAAAAAGk/-s_maTM84T0/s1600-h/wk30.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SNfs9_S1x9I/AAAAAAAAAGk/-s_maTM84T0/s200/wk30.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248924440430233554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat. In terms of numbers, your baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-1629965744185757853?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/DE_F2etfy8k" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/1629965744185757853/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=1629965744185757853" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/1629965744185757853?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/1629965744185757853?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/DE_F2etfy8k/lauriana-akeeshas-30th-week.html" title="♥ Lauriana Akeesha's 30th week ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hQLvy3DZqVQ/SNfs9_S1x9I/AAAAAAAAAGk/-s_maTM84T0/s72-c/wk30.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2008/09/lauriana-akeeshas-30th-week.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0EMQn4_fyp7ImA9WxVXEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-8209339746137430159</id><published>2008-09-16T11:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T22:01:23.047-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-09T22:01:23.047-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tag" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="friendship" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="life" /><title>♥ 8 Random Things ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Yeah I LOVE THIS! Eight (8) Random Things. Thanks Dane for filling me in your list of persons to be tagged, to think I'm the first. You know too well that I like 8, only you should have placed me on the 8th place for consistency. Anyway, I still appreciate the thought, thanks again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:verdana;" &gt; Moreover, the 8 random things about me that I guess peeps haven't heard about yet are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 1. Last December 30, 2007,  I had my long hair relaxed to create an impression in welcoming the new year of 2008. The night of December 30, not really sure what had  gotten into my mind, but I took a shower before sleeping. The morrow, I woke up and vanity struck first into me so I went out to check my hair. As soon as I faced the mirror while combing my hair through my fingers,  I was shock and nervous to realize that my hair was damaged, burned, ruined! I cried and cried out of frustration and pity for my hair, my money, my goal of welcoming the new year with nice. long and shiny hair. Dammit! I was crying, sobbing and screaming like a baby that time that my mother thought I was pregnant or something. Even my neighbors thought so too. But I didn't give a  damn about what they think as to what was I crying for. So I cried over burned hair, that wasn't easy, why don't you guys try it then so you'll know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 2. There's this one time during my childhood which I barely remember of doing but my brother insists that I did. They left me sleeping home alone after bribing that they'll bring me with them to the grocery. I woke up realizing that I was alone and locked up, I went to our window standing over the edge screaming and crying, "God,  please help me! uhuhuhuhuhu".... lol I can't remember doing so but for sure I know that I did since I was a bit of an actress during my childhood years. lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 3. I memorize all of Madonna's songs from her first 3 albums.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 4. I almost committed suicide using a pusher. So shallow and ineffective. Boo me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 5. I already made a name for my baby boy, for future purposes, Grecko Japhar Rodriguez. So don't you ever use that name or else I'll curse you, for real! That's a threat...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 6. I'm an elementary dropout. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt; 7. I hit my 3rd grade classmate's head using a "scrub/bunot". He pissed me a lot and that's what he got. I still think he deserves more than that. Devil in me speaks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt; 8. I used to listen to Vinyl records. Blast from the past dram&lt;/span&gt;a.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;           &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Done.

Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.&lt;br /&gt;2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.&lt;br /&gt;3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.&lt;br /&gt;4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-8209339746137430159?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/_IFqNSCnXqM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/8209339746137430159/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=8209339746137430159" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/8209339746137430159?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/8209339746137430159?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/_IFqNSCnXqM/8-random-things.html" title="♥ 8 Random Things ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2008/09/8-random-things.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0AMRHgyfip7ImA9WxVXEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-5120517123706679153</id><published>2008-09-15T16:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T22:03:05.696-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-09T22:03:05.696-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="baby-gaga" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pregnancy" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="update" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="baby" /><title>♥ Lauriana Akeesha on her 29th week, info taken from baby-gaga.com ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week29"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;If you’ve been feeling butterflies moving around in your belly, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill pre-birth performance anxiety. No, it’s your amazing baby with a case of the hiccups: a fairly common occurrence at this point resulting from practicing breathing for their big birthday. In addition, to getting a round of butterfly-like hiccups, your little swimmer has arduously managed to accumulate enough baby fat to account for nearly 3.5% of their overall body weight. Yeah, compared to we adults, it’s not a lot, but when they’re little like that—it’s certainly a healthy (and warming) accomplishment in its way. Another fantastic accomplishment: your baby's spleen is now in charge of hematopoiesis—the 10 dollar name for the process involved in building up certain important blood components. Another fantastic-accomplishment: your little monkey has been peeing into their amniotic sac for a little while now (this is why potty training takes a while) and if you didn’t know, actually swallows it along with the rest of the amniotic fluid. Although the concept is nasty, their urine is sterile and as part of the amniotic fluid base, is replaced several times throughout the day. So if you didn’t know before, now you can tell people, that yes, you drank your own urine—you were still in the womb, but nonetheless, you’ve been there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3649259006328420822-5120517123706679153?l=shiksa08.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~4/w18JBdacz-4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/feeds/5120517123706679153/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3649259006328420822&amp;postID=5120517123706679153" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/5120517123706679153?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649259006328420822/posts/default/5120517123706679153?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SuddenTwistToBliss/~3/w18JBdacz-4/lauriana-akeesha-on-her-29th-week-info.html" title="♥ Lauriana Akeesha on her 29th week, info taken from baby-gaga.com ♥" /><author><name>Laurie Amor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15108900568886506387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05197063203985526911" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/2008/09/lauriana-akeesha-on-her-29th-week-info.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D04FSX4zfCp7ImA9WxVXEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649259006328420822.post-3848143034487381173</id><published>2008-08-29T16:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T22:05:18.084-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-09T22:05:18.084-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tag" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="friendship" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="life" /><title>♥ Tag-tag-tag from Molit-lit-lit ♥</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://beautyoflyf.blogspot.com/"&gt;Molit&lt;/a&gt; had tagged&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://beautyoflyf.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://shiksa08.blogspot.com/"&gt;Me, Myself and I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt;... &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thanks...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Here’s the rule…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Click copy/paste, type in your answers and tag three people in your list!
