Very personal, but not contidential

**What character in Sex and the city is best described me?

Answer: Samantha. At least in my past, she is very independent, flirty, strong and is not dying to be in a relationship/marriage like women in general. While I favored that concept, a one night stand was not and is not my thing. No judgements to those who do because it is their lives, their decisions and their bodies. I admit that I secretly thought about it when I was younger, no strings attached, but too afraid of STDs, YUCKS and YIKES!! I was once a player and a heart breaker up until my first love broke my heart in pieces. It is like karma, isn't it?

**What are things in life I never expect to have or do?

Answer: getting married and having a child, never say never.

**What is my kind of music?

Answer: my preference changes from time. I used to love hip hop, heavy music but I have been into contemporary jazz and stick with it for the longest time. Saxophone is my most favorite musical instrument, I dreamt of marrying a saxophonist but not Mr. Kenny G., his hair is a bit too intimidating lol.

My all time favorite songs which I can listen to all day long include "the look of love" by Diana Krall, "Love Dance" by Vanessa Williams, "Quandro Quandro" by Michael Buble, and "Hands to heaven" by Breath. I also recently discovered "Cry" by MBLAQ, totally obsessed with that song.

**What is my most favorite household cleaning supply/ must-have (1 item only)?

Answer: Clorox or Lysol wipes. Sweep germs away in one swipe. I am a germaphobic as my husband would say, I don't think I am that extreme but I do love these wipes.

**What makeup item I can't live without (1 item only)?

Answer: Eyebrows pencil. I have sparse and thin eyebrows. Without the magic of this pencil, I don't look like me at all. Please don't ask to see my bare face, it is so blah.

**As a child, what would I like to be when I grew up?

Answer: A diplomatic minus the fact that I don't like studying political science and politics in general. I do love studying foreign languages though. I thought it would be cool to live and move to different countries.

**What I used to love doing?

Answer: Reading, crafting and gardening. It is hard to do anything these days when a little one is wanting an attention every minute she is awake. I miss my alone time, really really bad.

**What am I looking forward to?

Answer: a trip to visit my family and friends in Bangkok (hopefully next year), a short trip to Paris (if time and resource allow), authentic Thai food in Thailand and shopping!!!!

**What is my financial philosophy?

Answer: never use the money I don't currently have. No money, no purchase (except a house and vehicles)

**Am I a good saver?

Answer: yes, until recently. I am now commited to stay focused on my saving goal and build the saving back to where it used to be and even more by end of 2011. Having budget helps shape my saving plan tremendously, it does take years in tweaking and adjusting until you find what works, but totally worth it. I lay out my budget in Excel by month and up to one year. It works great this way because I can see a whole picture and how one big purchase can effect a year end saving. Having multiple saving accounts work amazingly too.

**What do I love about my current job?

Answer: people I work with make it pleasantly to come to work. In my nine years of employment, I had never stayed longer than a year at each place (hopped to three companies within 2 years after graduation for higher salaries and more competitive work environment). I feel that it is a whole lot more competitive back in Bangkok in particular where there are a lot of younger workforce with higher education (Master and Ph.D) than in the U.S. especially an industry I am in right now where there are a lot of older workforce with various educational levels. In a way, I feel more relaxed but my ambition is slowly dying down which is not good.

**Who are my latest favorite bloggers?

Answer: while I like fashion, my interest fades fairly quickly with fashion blogs. Variety is a key and I prefer blogs that offer a bit if everything. These are a fee that I can think of right now, will add more as my ideas flow.

"Simplyyvonne" - she has the most beautiful photos, the most adorable little girl and four-legged buddies and the most stylish house. Photos on her blog continue to amaze me.

"Lisa@Cocobella Bellerina": Lisa is your BFF next door. She is lovely, very personal and funny. Her husband is also a man of the century who continues to spoil her rotten with these amazing designer items. She also loves to torture her readers with mouth-watering food, beware!

**What do I wish I could afford?

Answer: a maid, a full time nanny and more designer hand bags!!!

Okay, those are a few facts about me. I am not going to tag anyone in particular because I don't want them to feel like they have to do it. If you would like to join and share something about yourself, please feel free to use these questions and let me know. I would like to know your answers too :0)
