What is your favorite smell/fragrance?

One of the smells I like is a baby’s (newborn) breath, especially after feeding! Have you tried to smell it?

What is your current favorite song?

My recent musical discovery is a new artist named Sara Bareilles. My four year old and I love watching her music video in YouTube. Check out her songs Love Song and Bottle It Up.

Do you have a pet? If not, what pet would you like to have?

We don’t have a pet right now but someday when our home is bigger and having a backyard or front lawn, I’d love to have a dog.

(If you are married) How old were you when you got married? Was it close to your desired age to get married?

(If you’re single) At what age do you plan to marry?

I got married when I was 27 but when I was 12, I thought I’d get married at 24, have 4 children by the time I’m 30. I guess we can’t really predict these things correctly.

What time does your children/child sleep?

My 4 year old sleeps late these days (my bad). Before, we aimed to be in bed at 8:30 pm to have time allowance for book reading and “bed circus” before sleeping. Right now, I come home between 8-8:30 and we are in bed at 10:00 pm. I make it a point though to make her sleep as early as possible, whenever I can.

She wakes up at 7 am so she still gets at least 8-9 hours of sleep.

How do you write blog posts - title first and body later or the other way around?

Lately, I became aware that I am doing the other way around. I quickly scribble what is on my mind and get stumped on making the appropriate title.

Do you prefer prescription glasses or contact lenses? (that is, if your vision is not perfect 20/20)

I only need glasses while at work, in the movie house and driving because though my vision is not perfect, I see better with glasses than with none. To answer my own question, I prefer glasses since I’m too chicken to wear contacts.

How old should children have cell phones?

I did not have a cellphone until I was 20. However, my younger siblings started having cell phones when they were 14 or 15. Difficult question for me - because I don’t know when my daughter will need to use a cell phone so I would like your ideas on this. Right now she is just 4 so it will not be soon.

Do you read your own blog? I mean go through old posts once in a while?

I actually do and the funny thing is, when I see some mistake, I still have the itch to correct it eventhough I am not sure if there are still people reading it!
