Welcome to Clarisse's realm. It's not work. It's not home. It's that comforting space between, where I gather my thoughts; and connect with fellow beings who treat each moment as a gift, and are grateful for life.
Meet me here for coffee, hot chocolate, a piña colada or a glass of wine.

That's exactly what I'm doing right now. And I'm doing it in style. Eating siopao as I write, that is.
And I'm smelling the flowers awards and tags!
This is long overdue but it's better late than never.
First of all...THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. Salamat in my mother tongue, Mahalo in hula-speak, Go raibh mile maith agaibh in great-great gramps' Irish Gaelic 
, TNX/THX/10X in text mode and here are more than 465 other versions...
First of all,
BINGKEE of I LOVE HATE AMERICA gave me this:
I'd like to pass this on to Cindy of Cindy's Notes and Thoughts.
***
The next one is from KAYE OF RANDOM WAHM THOUGHTS because my blog makes her laugh! She has a new blogsite, please check it out: WAHMAHOLIC. I always love her posts. And her wit and writing style.
I'd like to pass this on to my sister Katrina's KETCHUP PLEASE?

and then a TAG! from Marites of PINAY HEART WANDERINGS AND MUSINGS. I delayed it because it's "10 Random Things About Me" -- I can't even find it anymore in her blog. I think it's more than 6 pages deep into her archives now. *blush* But just to let you know, Tess, I ain't flakin'on yah!!!
1. I am not a good writer, but I love to write. And I always try my best to write from the heart. So that is something I'm really really really proud of.
2. I have this big passion for life. I embrace changes, crave for adventure (except if it's deep-dark-sea related or cave-moss-spelunking related), I bravely trod beyond my comfort zones when necessary, I try not to sweat the small stuff as much as possible.
3. Back in college, my friends used to call me "MAX" for Maximum Tolerance of People -- even the least likeable ones! Dingdongs, witches-beeyatches and nutheads. The funny thing was, they always gravitated to the shrink side of me, they would flock to me *LOL*. I was never a push-over, just very very patient and tolerant. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength (Dalai Lama). And if I do "lose it" on you, then you must be really really something: a very difficult piece of work. I still pretty much possess the same quality right now. Still patient, but still never a push-over. I can and will still give it to you if you try to walk over me, step on my toes OR other people's toes, whoever they are, whether I know them personally or not.
4. I am lactose-intolerant but I still eat a lot of cheese, drink milk and adore cream-based soups and dishes. Then suffer later. I have prescription glasses but I rarely wear them. I have a cellphone but I usually miss the calls. I have a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with my cellphone. If it's an emergency, call my husband. I am stubborn like that. And in so many other areas of my life too. Workin' on it!
5. I love to dance. It makes me happy. I have a special spot for ballet (something I used to do when I was little), a love affair with jazz (something I'd like to think I'm good at -- and I'm passionate about), a physical-relationship-of-some-sort, *can't think of how else to describe it but really it is a physical relationship!* with hip-hop, an on and off fling with reggae (oh, that primal beat!)...okay, it's getting hot in here. Now, my heart is in hula. I am training under Kumu Ku'uwehilani Waianuhea Aquai Cid-Iulio who was trained by her kupunawahine, Lillian Ka'anoali'i Mahai'ula Aquai --born and raised in 
6. I have this humongous FAITH in God that's why I don't worry so much. I am at peace with HIS Divine Will.
7. Please leave the drama at the door, I don't eat those stuff. Consider me ALLERGIC.
8. I am not afraid of ghosts.
9. I can't go out in the sun without sunglasses -- especially if I'm driving. I get antsy, woozy and sick when it's too hot and bright (vampire ). So yeah, I'm a sunglass-freak, especially the designer ones that are trendy with real genuine UV-protection lenses. And oh, I hate sunblock. That's why I love sunsets. 
10. I wish I can have MORE time to paint and draw works of art at this point. There is a crazy restrained artist living inside me. Sometimes it screams, but Thank God most of the time it just dances inside my head. *LOL*
Now I pass this one to Juliana of PINAY WAHM. Sorry I haven't been able to visit more often lately!
