Being a newbie in the blogosphere,
VoiceBox is one of the few communities that welcomed me warmly and I instantly felt at home. When I got invited to this event to write an
ABC list about myself, I decided to take the challenge. I think it’s really fun to share about ourselves in a chic way. Here goes my ABC, hope I will not bore you…
A – Aronne Tanya. She’s my delightful five year old little rascal who’s always been so sweet especially if she knows she did something wrong. She then comes kissing and embracing me all over and whispering “I love you Mom”, which often raises my subtle suspicion.
B – Blogging. I just found a new way to release my stress and keep my sanity.
C – Cats. I love to volunteer with Taichung PAWS, an organization dedicated to reduce the sufferings of animals in Taiwan. They trap, neuter and release stray cats, a humane way to reduce its population.
D – Dancing queen. I always love to dance especially ballroom and belly dancing. I’m not a good dancer but I’m taking it as a fun way to exercise.
E – Extrovert. I always thought I was an extrovert until I realized I easily got tired hanging out in big crowds. I recently took this personality test
(Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typological approach) and results showed that I am a moderately expressed extrovert, with slightly expressed sensing personality, distinctively expressed feeling personality, and slightly expressed perceiving personality. Hmmm sounds interesting.
F – Franje. I love my married surname.
G – Grades. I’m obsessed with good grades lol. A bad grade freaks me out, which happens always by the way lol.
H – Hyperactive. I was once a hyperactive kid so I could relate with my own hyperactive kids.
I – Ice cream (favorites are chocolate-mint and rocky road) is on the top list of my guilty pleasures.
J – Joey. My sweet and smarty 9-year old eldest daughter grew so fast, almost as tall as I am and we now have the same shoe size, omg! It seems only yesterday when she was our little bundle of joy, teaching her how to walk and talk. Now she's our giant baby, runs faster (always winning first place in track and field competitions at her school) and knows Mandarin better than I do. Indeed time ran so fast.
K – Karaoke. My family just loves to be a Beyonce for once or even an Abba. A party is not a party without a karaoke fun lolz.
L – Laugh. I love to crack jokes and laugh at funny jokes but I don’t love the way I laugh. Too loud, I can't help it!
M – Mango, the best tropical fruit ever. I so love it. Yum yummy!
N – Neil Johann, my husband. He loves his status of being the alpha in the family lol, surrounded by his submissive beautiful girls. He loves to be the king of his jungle so I just play along (sometimes).
O – Olive oil. I use it not only for salads but for my home made beauty skin regimens.
P – Parents-in-law. They are the best. When I became a baby mama ten years ago, they did all the major jobs for us for our wedding (bookings from flower shops to hotels, etc.), became my personal research consultants for my thesis, and took care of all our domestic problems (hiring house helps, etc.). They tried their best to make our lives comfortable in spite of the disappointment we caused them. Indeed I am so lucky or shall I say blessed.
Q – Queen. I’m always been a drama queen. Please bear with me.
R – Rain. When I was a kid living in a countryside, I always love when it rains. My parents would sometimes let us play outside in the rain with my siblings. But now living in the city with acid rain problems, playing in the rain is a big no-no for my kids. Too bad!
S – Siblings. I’ve got four of them: three pretty and loving sisters and a shy handsome brother, and I’m the eldest by the way. J
T – Taiwan. I’ve been living in Taiwan for four years now for my graduate studies.
.
U – University. I taught in a university for two years (College of Veterinary Medicine).
V – Veterinarian. I am a veterinarian by profession but fancies to be a SAHM.
W – Weight. I was so happy I lost 4 kgs in 3 months.
X – X-men. I always love X-men movies and even the TV cartoons in the early 90’s. Storm has been my all time favorite.
Y – Younger days. I enjoyed my younger days. I enjoyed the perks of being active in our student body council, student publications and government youth councils. I guess I was better with my time management skills back then.
Z- Zombies. I’m always been a zombie movie junkie. I just love the creeps it gave me considering that it’s not real. I don’t like the other horror movies about axe-wielding murderers though. I’ve been waiting for the second season of TV series “The Walking Dead”. The show really scares the hell out of me. I give it five stars.
Thank you for reading my list till the end. Can't wait to read your ABCs too. :)
