Random Things About Moi!

Some of you may find my post for today's Postcard Friendship hosted by Marie from Cpaphil Vintage Postcards interesting (again, some). Pourqoi, you may ask? Well, it's because I'm supposed to reveal a few things about myself since I've also been tagged by Christine from Christine's Home and Travel Adventures.




These are my own three postcards that I wanted to share with all the PFF participants, to show everyone the place I currently call home. When I first started blogging, I talked about my new neighborhood here and here. This quiet beach is called Cassidy (to locals) or Buccaneer located in South O, California, where the weather is almost always perfect any time of the year.




Regarding the tag, there are certain rules to follow:

1. Mention the person (or people) who tagged you.
2. Complete the list of 8's.
3. Tag 8 other bloggers and let them know they have been tagged.

So Ms. Christine, thanks for tagging me and here are my responses.

8 things I am looking forward to:
- Vacation, any kind, even a mini one; meeting my daughter anywhere I can during her free time; decorate my fav niece's bedroom as girly as can be; my brother's new baby due in September; my birthday; finishing up my backyard project; hosting a housewarming party in our new home; escaping to a nice spa with mon cheri for relaxation.


8 things I did yesterday:
- Went to work; went to a threading expert for my eyebrows (surprisingly better than waxing); went to the Bath and Body semi-annual sale; walked my pups; planted blue and white agapanthus, white hydrangeas and gardenias; watched the finches bathed on my fountain; and had chinese food with mon cheri for dinner.


8 thing I wish I could do:
- Quit my job; own a tea shop; travel to France, Japan and China to learn about tea so I can sell them in my tea shop; find a nice and handsome boyfriend for my daughter; take my mom and daughter on a nice European vacation all expenses on me; my brother and his family live closer to me; mon cheri's brother and his family live closer to us; expand the tea shop I'm dreaming about to a bed and breakfast and have my best friend manage it.


8 shows I watch:
-So You Think You Can Dance; House Hunters International; Mad Men; American Idol; Amazing Race; Grey's Anatomy; random shows on the Travel Channel; random shows on Bravo TV


8 favorite fruits:
-Mango; cantaloupe; asian pear; seedless grape; banana; fresh lychees; really sweet fresh pineapple; sweet cherries (yellowish red)



8 places I'd like to travel:
-Paris (mais oui); Giverny; Normandy; Barcelona; Seville; So Beach Fl; Bahamas; Tokyo


8 places I've lived:
-Manila, Philippines; Los Angeles, California; Providence, Rhode Island; San Diego, CA (only lived in four)


8 people I have tagged (I would luv to learn things about you, but only when you have the time to participate as I know how tedious this can be):

- Bonjour Madame; Une Petite Folie; Luphia Loves; Ala Parisienne; Completely Coastal; Miss Kris; Cpaphil Vintage Postcards


Merci beaucoup for reading this post et bon weekend!

Oh, thank you Marie..., it's nice to learn a little bit more about you. I will pass though, it'll take me hours (and I'm not kidding) to write that..., yeah..., the written word does not come easy. I wish I had some of that perfect weather though. But I remember it also being cool(ish) by the water, and wearing warm clothes in the early evenings (La Jolla and Huntington beach)..., but then again I'm cold when no one else is. Salut!
