Rule: List all the names you were called by and the people who call you that. Tag at least 5 members of your contacts and give a comment on their site for them to know they’ve been tagged.

“A name is to be chosen rather than abundant riches; favor is better than even silver and gold.”—Prov. 22:1.

A favorable name is something that we all want to have, for people when hearing our name would remember what we did, what we are or what we have achieved.

That is why, our name is important to us and having pet names given by others show how they view us as a person.

Here are some of my names...and I wonder what others called you...

1. Gizellae - By hubby. Yep. He seldom calls me by name and when he does he calls me in full...like: Ji - se - la! halika rito! hehe.

2. Mommy - By daughter and older son.


3. Mama - By little boy. I don't really know why but he calls me mama eventhough he hears the older ones say Mommy.


4. Gizelle - What people where I grew up calls me. That includes mama, daddy, ate, kuya, neighbors and relatives.


5. G - By my bestfriend, highschool/college classmates and friends...following the popularity of Gisele Toengi, unfortunately only our names are the same lol.


6. Gi - se- le- By my colleagues at work who speaks German. Not with the J (dyi) but with G in 'give' and every syllable with e is pronounced too.


7. Gzel - How chat friends spell my name.


8. Giz - By some of my cyberfriends.

9. Mirage - By blogging friends.
=)

Now, I won't be listing down who to tag, please feel free to do so! =)

Litratong Pinoy - Liwanag



blue + moon




(kuha noong 17 August 08)


(Nakalimutan ko palang pindutin ang publish button lol.)

Isang litrato na kinuha mula sa aming balkon. Doon sa balkon ko nakikita ang liwanag na nagmumula sa araw at buwan...Palagiang pagsikat ng araw at ang liwanag ng buwan ang matatanaw dito...walang paglubog.



A view from our balcony. Since the sun sets on the other side, I see lots of sunrises and no sunsets.



sun



Kaya't pag may pagkakataong makakuha ng litrato ng lumulubog na araw ay ginagawa ko, kahit sandali man lang ay masilayan ang papalubog na liwanag ng araw...



So I took one shot when I was on my way home, just before crossing the street where the setting sun is visible.



Happy LP to all!

Silly me!

I am really nice and friendly, perhaps even too honest. I respect all people, no matter the looks, color or language. But I guess its true, no two persons could be alike, perhaps the exact opposite! For the past 6 years I befriended a lot of older people since I find them interesting and respectful. But this day is different.

Today I was walking with the kids home...I felt conscious that someone is gazing at me intently...as I pass by the bus station an older woman stood there, with eyes wide open as if her stare could melt me away. I politely said Gruß Gott!, as a greeting.

What did the old woman do? She rolled her eyes and looked away. I felt really bad...it was the first time. So I walked behind her, waiting for her to look back...she didn't---I was farther away when she did and so I asked her, 'Do you have a problem with me?' The first time I confronted somebody too.

Too funny but stupid, she was waving her hand and told off the very first person ( a local) coming her way, words that I didn't hear anymore.

I think that was her way of annoying other people. Yes, staring at foreigners like that...I was already full for the day but ironically, I even gave time to say a polite Gruß Gott and stopped to ask what's her problem. Silly me!

The case of the lost postcards

Some weeks ago I sent out 4 postcards, one to New Jersey, two to California, and another to Japan. If I remember correctly I sent it out on a Friday.


Come Monday morning, I received a 'thank you' from my friend in Japan. We were both surprised that she got it real soon.

wienposcards

I followed up the other 3 postcards, asked the supposed recipients if they got it....No, nada, keine! The postcards didn't arrive...until now. Just like bigger stuff getting lost on the way, I have no idea where to look...its just unfortunate, if I may say, that even a postcard ended up nowhere. =(

Guys, I'll send you another one, promise!

Litratong Pinoy - Bago

Bagong palit nga ba ang damit ni Inang Kalikasan? Oo, dito sa parteng ito ng mundo ay nagsisimula na shang magsuot ng dilaw at pula. Pasensha na mejo, mahina ang emotion ko ngayon (lol). Pakibasa yung nasa pinakataas (Silly me!) kung bakit.



Ganun pa man, nais ko pa ring batiin kayong lahat ng Happy LP! ;-)



Saka dito ang isa kong lahok.
