The Tagging Game


Tonight I am feeling lucky. That’s because Haze says so and got me tagged for the “4 Things Meme” and Wil over there at “Miskina Ano Isip” also got me tagged for the cool and mean “20 Questions Meme”. Now I feel like I have my hands all full but since the tagging game is always fun, I can breeze through it. So here’s the memes:

The 2o Questions Meme



Here’s the rule: Remove 1 question from the list below, and add your own personal question to make it a total of 20 questions. Tag 8 people, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged. Whoever does the tag will have blessings from all.



1. At what age do/did you wish to marry?
it had been always at 25, since popular culture says it should be the most ideal age, at least at the time when I was still a youngster.



2. What color do you like most?
Blue



3. If you can have a superpower, what would it be?
Flying because it would feel so exhilarating to burst into the wind and have ultimate freedom of movement.



4. If you can travel anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?
America, that’s to be honest. Don’t we all? He..he…



5. Which part of you that you hate the most?

Life of course, just as well as we all feel about it.



8. If you win $1 million, what would you do with the money?
Deposit in a bank and do some business, and maybe visit some of the most beautiful places in the world, those that completely astounds me, like Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China. And establishing a charitable organization is also a good idea for me.



9. What do you love the most last year (2007)?
My latest stint as a university lecturer.

I have to tag 8 people, so I’m tagging Snglguy, Barrycade , Panaderos, Buffwings, Toe, Ferdz, Eric and Bing.



And now that we are deep into the tagging game, I now remember that Barrycade had actually tagged me and gave me a very nice award, the “I Heart Your Blog” award and despite that I have already relayed my thanks and gratitude as well as deep appreciation to him, I have somehow forgotten to do the tag. To Barrycade, I apologize bro. I hope you understand.





So without any farther adieu, here is the “I Heart Your Blog” tag:



The rules of the “I Heart Your Blog” Awards are simple:
1. You give the award to at least 7 other blogs.
2. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
3. Link the person you received your award from.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs that you’ve nominated.



So here’s my 7 awardees for “I Heart Your Blog” :




  1. Inside the Mind of A Snglguy (There’s not a single dull moment in the site. That’s an enormous achievement.)


  2. The Warped Zone (Another major achievement for a blogger as the content is consistently interesting and mind-opening.)


  3. Wish You Were Here (Award-winning photoblog. I need not say anything more.)


  4. My Sari-Sari Store (Very outstanding photojournalism.)


  5. Warmstone (A good mix of family stories and information.)


  6. Splice and Dice (Probably, the best socio-political blog and commentary today.)


  7. Ang Anino Ni Abaniko (Simplicity can be a virtue. Simple humor too.)


    Of course I have exempted “Collapsing Barrycade” for the main reason that it was the blog that had awarded me the “I Heart Your Blog” title but it should be there in the list, for Barrycade do have a very good command of words and writes in so crystalline manner and eloquent overall, simple but well-knitted, that to me is rare in a blog.





And allow me to mention Ironwulf when it comes to photojournalism blog, he is just so good at it. You have to check him out. There’d be a lot more others but the tag says only 7.
