was tagged by Marahm, and while I am not yet whisked away by mommy duties, I’d better get to this.
Here are the rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers’ blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.
6 Unspectacular Quirks of Mine:
1. I read whenever I can, while eating, (used to in my childhood, but resumed this habit recently), while on the way to go grocery shopping (hubby drives of course), while nursing (even in semi darkness, much to hubby’s tsk-tsk ness) and like I said, whenever I can.
2. If someone smarts mouth me, I am usually speechless, but will try to retaliate days afterwards, in my head only, and then kick myself for not coming up with a response when it happened.
3. When something bothers me, I am put in a ‘zombie’ mode, where I am engulfed in insomnia, don’t pay attention when people speak to me, and am silent most of the time.
4. I don’t like chatting on the phone or Yahoo messenger, or MSN messenger or Facebook chats, and try to avoid them when I can. I prefer to email or write on my blog.
5. I love cucumber juice!
6. I love driving in residential areas and ogling over the beautiful architecture of the houses. I developed this habit from my father, who used to drive around in neighborhoods to look at unique architectural features he could use in building his own houses (he has many plots of lands bought to build houses on).
Of course, in the course of writing up this post, I have had to stop and supervise Baby Zoa bathing in the bathtub, pop some canned longans in my mouth (thanks to sweet daughter Ski), look at the freshly bathed Baby Zoa fingering his new flashy toothbrushes and say,
“So cute, mashaallah!”
Unfortunately though, I’m going to have the break the rule for this tag, because I can’t find 6 people to tag (some I think might not like being tagged), and also because not many of those I know through the blogging world know of this new humble blog of mine.
Now I’m off to devour some freshly cut watermelons downstairs before the family gobble it all up!

Don’t worry about breaking the tag; I did so too when I first set up my blog and couldn’t figure out who to tag and how to do it.
At first, I didn’t care for it, but I eagerly read everyone else’s tags, and realized they’d probably like to read mine. So I learned how to link.
Tags are a good way to enlarge the circle of blogger friendships.

Wow I never thought of it that way – to enlarge the circle of blogger friendships. I have trouble enough finding time to put posts on my blogs (this and my more established old one) that I usually don’t bother with tags unless they’re beneficial ones (there’s one called Islam meme), but I decided to respond to this one since this blog is personally mine (the other one is for another purpose)…so do you think I should tag 6 other people? lol..I think I will
Thanks, Marahm.!
