If I Were...

Thanks to Leo of Symphony for this wonderful tag (I was first in his tagged list...:)) nah, not Symphony anymore, it's I RHYME WITHOUT REASON now...:) I enjoyed this tag hence I am doing it and will tag my new-found-blogger-friends at Blog-O-Sphere...:) Read till the last line and see if you are one of them. Should have I missed anyone, and you wish to do the tag, feel free to grab and do it, just follow the rules.

Rules are simple, just rework on it and tag whom you wish to and let them know they are being tagged by you...have a great time... :):) and am sure you will enjoy it!

If I were a month, I'd be February, yes, it's my birth month guys and never mind the belief that Feb born are somewhat affected by the shapes of the moon manifested by mood swings though I learned that Feb born are an intelligent lot, and I wish to be classified or considered as one... lols... :)

If I were a day, I'd wish it to be always Saturday, as it is a rest day for me, after five long days working in office, Saturday seems always a treat! :P

If I were a time of the day, I'd wish it to be eight o' clock in the evening, my time for always hitting the bed and snooze to my heart's content...:)

If I were a season, I'd be spring as spring means new life, new hope, new beginning...

If I were a planet, Oh I'd be Venus where in Greek mythology, she is a Roman goddess who is principally associated with love, beauty and fertility...:) Well, who doesn't want love, beauty and fertility if you are a woman? I do... ;)

If I were a direction, I'd be East, where the sun rises. Every new morning promises a new hope, new beginning.

If I were a drink, hmmmm... I'd be Del Monte Fit and Right, Four Seasons. TV ads promote that it gives one an hour-glass figure, meaning it's a drink that makes one fit and sexy... :) Who wouldn't want anyway?

If I were a tree, I'd be a Narra tree, sturdy and strong and when fashioned into furnitures, it has a beautiful finish.

If I were an animal, I'd be a cat, the best smelling animal when properly cared of, and you can sleep with him in your bed without fear of being bitten. Many fellow bloggers told me also, it's the best companion we can have it will never leave you even in your darkest hour...:)

If I were a musical instrument, I'd be a guitar! I know how to play the guitar guys way back in high school but not much of a master! I am my son's mentor and he plays much, much better than I do now...:) Just passing the talent and it was successful...Is it a talent?

If I were a fruit, I'd be an apple. Sweet, juicy, crunchy, with silky and shiny reddish skin...and I guess it's the taste, too...delicious!

If I were a food, I'd be a pizza, next to chocolate cake though! It's a delicious mixture of so many ingredients, topped with a spicy sauce and it will be too perfect and mouth-watering...:)

If I were a celebrity, nah, who would I be? I don't idolize, so I don't have anyone in mind now. But if forced to name one, I'd be Catherine Zeta Jones...:) I love that pouty, attractive lips she has and that twinkling eyes she owns. She's so adorable!

If I were a color, I'd be blue. I love the color blue, cool to the eyes and it has that calming effect. My comfort zone is painted blue, curtains that are hanged on the walls must always be blue, blue, blue...everything in my CZ has a hue of blue and I am loving it!

If I were a book, I'd be a Bible. The best book one can have. It tells us what to choose after this life, Heaven or Hell? Read and find it out!

If I were a song, hmmmm...got so many favorites, but for now, I love to listen to Lani Misalucha's (Filipino Artist) song every time I'd snooze, titled: How Can I Tell You...you can check on youtube if you wish to listen to it...it lulls me to sleep too! Loved it so much really!

If I were a movie, I'd be Titanic...lols...:P Don't you? It was just too tragic, Jack has to die and sacrifice for Rose' sake. Rose needs the floater to survive and they can't have it both. This movie proves their undying love for each other, come hell or high waters!

If I were a flower, I'd be a rose. Thorny yet beautiful. And life is simply like that....there are thorns in spite of the beauty!

If I were a facial expression, I'd be smile. A smile that could launch a thousand ships! Lols...isn't that for a picture? But whatever, I'd be always a smile. Smile...smile...smile...and the world will smile at you.. :)

Now I wish to tag my new-found-blogger-buddies, quite numerous and hopefully they would do it, too!

Do I deserve this? Tell me buddies...:) But Dev said, he's given me this because of my "great creative posts"...:) hmmm, isn't that great?

Now let me tell you seven things about me. That's the rule eh...:) After claiming the award, have to tell seven things you do not know about me...:) Sounds quite difficult, err...might get wasted here!

But the rules first before knowing some of my secrets...:)

1. Thank whoever gave this to you

2. Copy award

3. Post it in your blog

4. Tell us 7 things that your readers don’t know

5. Link 7 new bloggers

6. Notify winners of the award with a comment on their blog

7. Most of all - Keep being awesome!

And now some or seven to be exact, of the secret things about me? Oh No! Should not be doing these guys, but I have to abide by the rules, coz I cherish this award, too...:-)

1. I vomit at the sight of rats, even the tiniest of this creature. I even feel queasy, languid and seems my innards want to get out of me, i dunno why! Sucks!!! Poor me!

2. I have this obsessive-compulsive behavior. I always wash my hands with alcohol. I smell fork and spoon, plates, glasses, cups, before using them. I hate this feeling but in not doing so, I don't feel at ease, I don't feel  like eating if i don't smell them first. It's embarrassing in public, but can't help myself.

3. I love nature so much. It gives me that wonderful and satisfied feelings when I am on a nature trip. It relaxes me too and gives me a recharged feelings after the trip.

4. I enjoy drinking tea. I love the taste of it especially when a tablespoon of creamer is added into a cup of it. I am a tea-addict....anyone who can give me boxes of it? Thanks in advance. Nope! Just kidding!

5. I love the color blue, my favorite. The paint of my bedroom is blue, my closets are painted blue, my sheets are blue, Oh, I just love the color blue! And of course, my space here is blue, made by Preetilata and she customized it according to my color preference. Of course, she asked me about it before doing so. And Leo lend a helping hand when the overall background went awry. 

6.  I am an ice cream and chocolates lover...:) a sweet tooth so they say! Especially that Double Dutch from Selecta.

  ....and last but not least, so it is, though I still want to share you so more things about me, is that....

7. I can play the guitar but not like a pro. I passed that interest to my son. He now is far better than I am. I was his mentor, though, proud Mom-mentor. Taught him the basics, like keys of A, B, C. D. E, F, G; Ab, Bb, C#, Am, Bm, Dm, Fm, Gm, etc..., etc...:)

And so on...but seven things are only needed....:)

I pass this award to seven fellow blogging buddies,  only? I want more but the rule says seven only, and I am 

bound by the rules or else Dev will confiscate my award.

Here they are:

Maddy/Mads/Maddhu.....for such a loving buddy and for her awesome posts!

Leo.....the Pro Poet to me, because his works can compare with Shakespeare's, Oh he hates me for saying

           that....! Peace!!!

Pramoda....a very good friend and for the morals one gets from almost all her posts!

Meow...my fellow WL Writer, she's as brilliant as the others and for inviting me to celebrate Diwali with her

             next year!

Princess Nuchu....for considering me as her blogging-buddy-Mom!

Hemu...I simply love his posts and he is starting to be a great acrostic writer! Have you found your way to
