I've missed a lot of Sunday Stealing because of school and I know it's Monday already here but in the U.S., I'm only two hours late from posting this. Heehee! So here goes...
This week's Sunday Stealing was from a blogger named Diana Pharaoh Francis from the blog Mad Libs. It's all about High School.
1. Did you date someone from your school? Nope. I was in an exclusive school for girls.
2. Did you marry someone from your high school? That would be a "no" again.
3. Did you car pool to school? Nope. My dad would always drive me to school after dropping off my mom at her office.
4. What kind of car did you have? Let's see, that time, we had a Toyota Corolla and a Honda Civic (that we still have till now).
5. What kind of car do you have now? A Honda Civic too. Heehee!
6. Its Friday night...where are you now? Hmm... It's actually a Monday afternoon here...Lol. But hypothetically, I'd probably be out with my husband while he plays with his band or resting for the next day's review class. Ugh!
7. It is Friday night...where were you then? Probably at home, watching TV or a movie.
8. What kind of job did you have in high school? I didn't have one but I've always wanted to try to work in this clothing store.
9. What kind of job do you do now? I'm not working at the moment as I am finishing my second degree. Weee!!!
10. Were you a party animal? Not really. I was a bit of a late bloomer.
11. Were you considered a flirt? Hahaha! That would be the last thing my schoolmates would think of me.
12. Were you in a band, orchestra, or choir? As much as I wanted to, I'm pretty sure they'd be fine without me.
13. Were you a nerd? Nope!
14. Did you get suspended from school? Almost. One of the teachers thought that two of my classmates and I were cutting class when in fact, we were looking for her. Good thing, we got cleared of that.
15. Can you sing the fight song? Hmmm.... I don't know which one is the fight song. Lol.
16. Who was/were your favorite teacher? That would be our Grammar and English Lit. teacher in our freshmen year. I learned a lot from them about school stuff and most importantly about life. :)
17. Where did you sit during lunch? It varies every year. But in our senior year, we ate lunch outside Troika Hall.
18. What was your school's full name? St. Scholastica's College, Manila
19. Where did you party the most? I already said I wasn't a party animal back then. But we usually hang out and go crazy whenever we're at my friends' house.
20. What was your school mascot? Hmmm... I don't think we have one.
21. Would you do it again? High School? Definitely. Especially our Sophomore year. Plus, I was really skinny then. Lol.
22. Did you have fun at Prom? Uh-huh. My date was my crush and a real gentleman. Plus, a bonus, he was funny and charming too.
23. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? That would be a 'no'. We lost contact after high school.
24. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? If there was one, sure! But we've celebrated our 10th anniversary already and we didn't have a reunion so I'm guessing after the 20th then? Lol.
25. Do you still talk to people from school? You mean the teachers? Well, yes then but not that often.
26. What are/were your school's colors? Navy blue and white.
Better late than never... you can still post your entry and join in the fun. Yahoo Sunday Stealing!

Saturday 9: The Best of What's Around
Here's what I think is "best" for me. So I shouldn't be hearing any snickering or giggling back there. Yes, I'm watching you. Hahahaha!
On with the show... :)
1. What's the best new website you've found? Right now, it's http://www.lovemyshoes.com. I saw other great brands here plus they accept paypal. Teehee!
2. What's the best movie you've seen? I haven't been out movie watching for the longest time because I'm busy with school. So I'm going to choose by genre: Drama/Love Story: Serendipity because it reminds me of "my" love story (yes, cheesy with a capital"C" LOL) and The Notebook just because Ryan Gosling is so dreamy; Action and Adventure: Transporter and Transformers (I'm an 80's kid...go figure!); Comedy: Don't Mess with the Zohan (I am an Adam Sandler fan); Horror: The Happening (I still get jumpy every time I hear the leaves of the trees rustling); and Mystery: The Life of David Gale.
3. What's the best quote you know? After a storm, there is always a rainbow. :)
4. What's the best book you've read? So far it's Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Learned a lot from it.
5. What's the best thing someone's done for you? That would be accepting my multi-personality, panic-stricken, O.C., stubborn and hyper side of me.
6. What's the best thing about your job? I resigned a year ago, but if I was still working there, I'd have to say the friendships I've made with "some" of the people there.
7. What’s the best CD you own? Oh this is a tough one, I think it's between my No Doubt CDs or my Eraserheads (local band) CDs.
8. What’s the best new TV show you watch? Right now, my boyfriend and I are watching Pushing Daisies and we like it. It's got a dark Tim Burton-ish feel to it.
9. What’s the best car you’ve owned? I really didn't own it but I love our '96 Honda Civic. :)
Catch more answers --> here.
Saturday 9: You Wear it Well
It's been a while since I played and I am super glad that this is our topic for today because I am currently in the process of updating my wardrobe. LOL. :)
Here goes...
1. What are your favorite shoes? Right now, I love wearing my Chuck Taylor sneakers because it's always raining. Keeps my feet dry. :)
2. What does your favorite shirt or blouse look like? At the moment, my favorite shirt is this black puff-sleeved shirt I bought a couple of weeks ago.
3. What does your favorite tee shirt say on it? It just has a white print of a collar and tie.
4. Do you think you look better in casual or business attire? Hmmm...both! :)
5. What do you sleep in? boy shorts and my raggedy old shirts. They're so comfy!
6. Do you wear expensive sneakers? Hmm... I don't think my Converse sneaks are expensive. So... no. But I'd love to have one of those Harajuku Lovers sneakers. They're so cute!
7. What is your favorite hat? Sorry I don't have one.
8. Your preference for men: Boxers or briefs? Briefs are ok but boxers, I think have more variety.
9. Your preference for women: Suits or dresses? Dresses are okay but suits gives the idea/impression that we are in the same level as men. :) It shows that we are (somewhat) free from the gender stereotypes.

Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging
This meme is called Sunday Stealing. I got an invitation to join in my other blog but was unable to join that week. This time, I made sure I'd join and decided to post it here in my first (I have four) and original blog.
Originally, this meme was "stolen" from Momma of Momma Blogs A lot.
Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging
1. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging last December but I stopped. Then I became active again last February.
2. Any advice to beginners?
I always say write to express and not to impress.
3. What are the good things blogging has brought to your life?
Well first off, I was able to meet a lot of interesting people. I haven't had the chance to meet them in person but I don't mind. Next, it helps me to be more expressive. I'm really not a good writer but blogging helped express more what I cannot say in real life. Yes, my alter egos were formed.
4. What would you consider the pitfalls?
I guess the only pitfalls that I see is that no matter how I try to be open and expressive to my readers, there are just some things that I just need to keep to myself. Other than that, careful with the Google page rank. LOL!
5. Tell us about your blog name. Ever think of changing it? If so, to what? Why?
It took me a day or two to come up with my blog name. I am talking about this one, my first and original blog, Big Eyed Gal. I wanted something that describes me. And since I was a kid, I've been constantly teased for having big eyes. I've been called an owl or Ms. Flashlight (kids can be really mean! LOL) because of my big eyes and this is what prompted me to use this name for my blog. I don't think I'll be changing it. Heck, I even bought a domain for that name. Hee!
6. Knowing what you know now, was starting a blog a good thing for you? Why or why not?
Knowing that blogging is addicting, I'd still think it's a good thing for me. My family and friends get updates from my blogs even though it gets in the way of my studies. Haha!
7. How do you think blogging, bloggers, or the blogosphere has changed since you started?
I've only been "seriously" blogging since February of this year so this is kind of hard to answer. But so far, I would have to say that a lot of people are now doing paidblogging.
8. Ultimately, what would you like your blog to accomplish for you or others?
I want my blog to be able to inspire and give useful insights about the things I blabber about. Plus, I want my readers to be entertained. As for myself, I want my blog to be able to continue helping me to vent out with whatever it is I am thinking or feeling.

Friday Fill-Ins (#1)
Hmmm.... I have no idea as to what the next line is for these song lyrics. So it's a good thing I could fill it in with anything. Let's get started, shall we?!
1. If I was to walk into your life, wouldn't you wish I came sooner?
2. Catch a bright star and place it on my finger.
3. And you can send me to boot camp but I will never change.
4. I forgive you but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets.
5. I'm the innocent bystander / Somehow I got stuck and almost peed in my panties.
6. What's keeping us apart isn't selfishness, it's pride and it's eating you alive.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing while watching DVDs with my boyfriend, tomorrow my plans include cleaning the apartment the whole day and probably watch a movie in the evening and Sunday, I want to sleep till 10 am and go to the mall for brunch and some "window" shopping!
More of these fill-ers here.
Heads or Tails #54
My first time to join this meme. And can I just say that having to write about three things from any category made my head spin. But it was a blast!
This weeks theme is - TAILS - List three things from any category
For my entry, I am listing three TV series that I wish would never stop airing. These are:
1. Friends
I don't think I can ever get tired of the witty humor of these six characters. There was even a time when I was in high school that I wished I've had friends exactly like Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Ross. I would be Rachel. LOL!
2. Sex and the City
I just can't get enough of those really sexy and stylish clothes that the girls are wearing. Plus, I love Carrie.
3. Ally McBeal
The moment this starts airing, I was in sophomore year in college. It made me think of becoming a lawyer. Their eccentric and funny ways kept me glued on the tube. Plus, I love the songs played in some of the episodes. I even remember crying like a baby when Billy (played by Gil Belows) died.
What were your favorite TV series?
Read more entries of Heads or Tails participants here.
Friday 5 (#1): Sticky
This is my first time to join Friday 5. And I might say I like this sticky idea. :-)
So here are my sticky answers. LOL!
1. What was the last song that stuck in your brain and wouldn’t go away? It's Alicia Keys' Teenage Love Affair. It was playing on the radio before I got out of the car.
2. What’s something that sticks around long after you wish it would leave? Holiday fat! It has been three Christmases and the weight that I've gained from all the feasting is still here! Sheesh! Talk about slow metabolism. LOL
3. To what use did you put your last sticky note? It was a reminder for myself to bring my black shoes tomorrow.
4. When did you last have Pixy Stix? We don't call it Pixy Stix here but I think the last time I had one was when I was still in grade school. Hehe!
5. What is something you are a stickler for? I had to Google the meaning of this word. Hehe! Based on the definition that I got (one who insists on something), I am a stickler when it comes to not being late. I hate being rushed and being late for something is synonymous to that. I guess this is part of my OC-ness.

3x Thursday (#1) : Alone Time
This is my first time to join here and the theme for this week quite suits my mood these past couple of days. Blame it on the weather. LOL!
Anyway, here are the three questions for this week:
1. Do you ever get a 'break' from people (Say your S.O. goes on a personal vacation or something)? If you do, do you like the time alone? Why/why not? Yes, but it's not that often. I love having these moments. Whenever I do get these "breaks", I make sure I do whatever I want. Usually, it's going out with my girl friends, pampering myself, shopping/window shopping or simply relaxing and reading a book or BLOGGING. LOL!
2. Do you think being alone is a bad thing? Why/why not? I don't think being alone is a bad thing. It's okay to be alone but it's not okay to be lonely.
3. Everyone gets lonely sometimes. How do you cope with being lonely? What do you do to make that feeling go away? I guess most of us get lonely at times. What I do is well, I go to different phases. Well, they're actually not phases because I don't always follow the same order. In any case, I usually go out with my friends. It doesn't have to be a long night out. A simple chat over coffee (or booze) is fine. I also resort to listening to music. It's either pure rock or heavy metal for me because if I play sappy love songs then I'll be more down and lonely. And lastly, I take a drive to wherever while playing music in the car. This helps me relax while I scream at lousy drivers. LOL!

Saturday 9: The Best of What's Around
Here's what I think is "best" for me. So I shouldn't be hearing any snickering or giggling back there. Yes, I'm watching you. Hahahaha!
On with the show... :)
1. What's the best new website you've found? Right now, it's http://www.lovemyshoes.com. I saw other great brands here plus they accept paypal. Teehee!
2. What's the best movie you've seen? I haven't been out movie watching for the longest time because I'm busy with school. So I'm going to choose by genre: Drama/Love Story: Serendipity because it reminds me of "my" love story (yes, cheesy with a capital"C" LOL) and The Notebook just because Ryan Gosling is so dreamy; Action and Adventure: Transporter and Transformers (I'm an 80's kid...go figure!); Comedy: Don't Mess with the Zohan (I am an Adam Sandler fan); Horror: The Happening (I still get jumpy every time I hear the leaves of the trees rustling); and Mystery: The Life of David Gale.
3. What's the best quote you know? After a storm, there is always a rainbow. :)
4. What's the best book you've read? So far it's Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Learned a lot from it.
5. What's the best thing someone's done for you? That would be accepting my multi-personality, panic-stricken, O.C., stubborn and hyper side of me.
6. What's the best thing about your job? I resigned a year ago, but if I was still working there, I'd have to say the friendships I've made with "some" of the people there.
7. What’s the best CD you own? Oh this is a tough one, I think it's between my No Doubt CDs or my Eraserheads (local band) CDs.
8. What’s the best new TV show you watch? Right now, my boyfriend and I are watching Pushing Daisies and we like it. It's got a dark Tim Burton-ish feel to it.
9. What’s the best car you’ve owned? I really didn't own it but I love our '96 Honda Civic. :)
Catch more answers --> here.
Saturday 9: You Wear it Well
It's been a while since I played and I am super glad that this is our topic for today because I am currently in the process of updating my wardrobe. LOL. :)
Here goes...
1. What are your favorite shoes? Right now, I love wearing my Chuck Taylor sneakers because it's always raining. Keeps my feet dry. :)
2. What does your favorite shirt or blouse look like? At the moment, my favorite shirt is this black puff-sleeved shirt I bought a couple of weeks ago.
3. What does your favorite tee shirt say on it? It just has a white print of a collar and tie.
4. Do you think you look better in casual or business attire? Hmmm...both! :)
5. What do you sleep in? boy shorts and my raggedy old shirts. They're so comfy!
6. Do you wear expensive sneakers? Hmm... I don't think my Converse sneaks are expensive. So... no. But I'd love to have one of those Harajuku Lovers sneakers. They're so cute!
7. What is your favorite hat? Sorry I don't have one.
8. Your preference for men: Boxers or briefs? Briefs are ok but boxers, I think have more variety.
9. Your preference for women: Suits or dresses? Dresses are okay but suits gives the idea/impression that we are in the same level as men. :) It shows that we are (somewhat) free from the gender stereotypes.

Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging
This meme is called Sunday Stealing. I got an invitation to join in my other blog but was unable to join that week. This time, I made sure I'd join and decided to post it here in my first (I have four) and original blog.
Originally, this meme was "stolen" from Momma of Momma Blogs A lot.
Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging
1. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging last December but I stopped. Then I became active again last February.
2. Any advice to beginners?
I always say write to express and not to impress.
3. What are the good things blogging has brought to your life?
Well first off, I was able to meet a lot of interesting people. I haven't had the chance to meet them in person but I don't mind. Next, it helps me to be more expressive. I'm really not a good writer but blogging helped express more what I cannot say in real life. Yes, my alter egos were formed.
4. What would you consider the pitfalls?
I guess the only pitfalls that I see is that no matter how I try to be open and expressive to my readers, there are just some things that I just need to keep to myself. Other than that, careful with the Google page rank. LOL!
5. Tell us about your blog name. Ever think of changing it? If so, to what? Why?
It took me a day or two to come up with my blog name. I am talking about this one, my first and original blog, Big Eyed Gal. I wanted something that describes me. And since I was a kid, I've been constantly teased for having big eyes. I've been called an owl or Ms. Flashlight (kids can be really mean! LOL) because of my big eyes and this is what prompted me to use this name for my blog. I don't think I'll be changing it. Heck, I even bought a domain for that name. Hee!
6. Knowing what you know now, was starting a blog a good thing for you? Why or why not?
Knowing that blogging is addicting, I'd still think it's a good thing for me. My family and friends get updates from my blogs even though it gets in the way of my studies. Haha!
7. How do you think blogging, bloggers, or the blogosphere has changed since you started?
I've only been "seriously" blogging since February of this year so this is kind of hard to answer. But so far, I would have to say that a lot of people are now doing paidblogging.
8. Ultimately, what would you like your blog to accomplish for you or others?
I want my blog to be able to inspire and give useful insights about the things I blabber about. Plus, I want my readers to be entertained. As for myself, I want my blog to be able to continue helping me to vent out with whatever it is I am thinking or feeling.

Friday Fill-Ins (#1)
Hmmm.... I have no idea as to what the next line is for these song lyrics. So it's a good thing I could fill it in with anything. Let's get started, shall we?!
1. If I was to walk into your life, wouldn't you wish I came sooner?
2. Catch a bright star and place it on my finger.
3. And you can send me to boot camp but I will never change.
4. I forgive you but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets.
5. I'm the innocent bystander / Somehow I got stuck and almost peed in my panties.
6. What's keeping us apart isn't selfishness, it's pride and it's eating you alive.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing while watching DVDs with my boyfriend, tomorrow my plans include cleaning the apartment the whole day and probably watch a movie in the evening and Sunday, I want to sleep till 10 am and go to the mall for brunch and some "window" shopping!

Heads or Tails #54
My first time to join this meme. And can I just say that having to write about three things from any category made my head spin. But it was a blast!
This weeks theme is - TAILS - List three things from any category
For my entry, I am listing three TV series that I wish would never stop airing. These are:
1. Friends
I don't think I can ever get tired of the witty humor of these six characters. There was even a time when I was in high school that I wished I've had friends exactly like Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Ross. I would be Rachel. LOL!
2. Sex and the City
I just can't get enough of those really sexy and stylish clothes that the girls are wearing. Plus, I love Carrie.
3. Ally McBeal
The moment this starts airing, I was in sophomore year in college. It made me think of becoming a lawyer. Their eccentric and funny ways kept me glued on the tube. Plus, I love the songs played in some of the episodes. I even remember crying like a baby when Billy (played by Gil Belows) died.
What were your favorite TV series?

Friday 5 (#1): Sticky
This is my first time to join Friday 5. And I might say I like this sticky idea. :-)
So here are my sticky answers. LOL!
1. What was the last song that stuck in your brain and wouldn’t go away? It's Alicia Keys' Teenage Love Affair. It was playing on the radio before I got out of the car.
2. What’s something that sticks around long after you wish it would leave? Holiday fat! It has been three Christmases and the weight that I've gained from all the feasting is still here! Sheesh! Talk about slow metabolism. LOL
3. To what use did you put your last sticky note? It was a reminder for myself to bring my black shoes tomorrow.
4. When did you last have Pixy Stix? We don't call it Pixy Stix here but I think the last time I had one was when I was still in grade school. Hehe!
5. What is something you are a stickler for? I had to Google the meaning of this word. Hehe! Based on the definition that I got (one who insists on something), I am a stickler when it comes to not being late. I hate being rushed and being late for something is synonymous to that. I guess this is part of my OC-ness.

3x Thursday (#1) : Alone Time
This is my first time to join here and the theme for this week quite suits my mood these past couple of days. Blame it on the weather. LOL!
Anyway, here are the three questions for this week:
1. Do you ever get a 'break' from people (Say your S.O. goes on a personal vacation or something)? If you do, do you like the time alone? Why/why not? Yes, but it's not that often. I love having these moments. Whenever I do get these "breaks", I make sure I do whatever I want. Usually, it's going out with my girl friends, pampering myself, shopping/window shopping or simply relaxing and reading a book or BLOGGING. LOL!
2. Do you think being alone is a bad thing? Why/why not? I don't think being alone is a bad thing. It's okay to be alone but it's not okay to be lonely.
3. Everyone gets lonely sometimes. How do you cope with being lonely? What do you do to make that feeling go away? I guess most of us get lonely at times. What I do is well, I go to different phases. Well, they're actually not phases because I don't always follow the same order. In any case, I usually go out with my friends. It doesn't have to be a long night out. A simple chat over coffee (or booze) is fine. I also resort to listening to music. It's either pure rock or heavy metal for me because if I play sappy love songs then I'll be more down and lonely. And lastly, I take a drive to wherever while playing music in the car. This helps me relax while I scream at lousy drivers. LOL!
