I had always wanted to write about the blogs that I visit, so let this be the first one in the series!:)
Reba's blog is real fun! She has a very interesting style of writing and filling her memes. She is a dog!I mean in the good sense of the word...when you do read her blog you really feel that it is a dog communicating with us!Every thing she has written has been so carefully thought of, because not even once through out her blog has she let us think that she is anything but a dog! Even in the comments she puts up for others, she highlights this fact!I love reading her blogs and getting her interesting comments!
So three woffs for reba's blog(in her own style)WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Friday 5 for April 25: Good, Bad, Ugly

A new meme begins this friday!
Its called Friday five.You have to answer to five questions each Friday. And its quite a soul searching effort.I came across this meme through Shannon.

Thank you Shannon!:)

1. What’s something you love and is quite bad for you?

Chocolates

2. What’s something you hate and is quite good for you?

Iron tablets

3. What’s something that’s about equally good and bad for you?

Having yogurt in the night,its good for my heart burn, but I'll have a bad cold in the morning:(

4. What’s something you’ve been told is bad for you but you suspect is not as bad as people say?

Reading books right after my baby's delivery,I had a hell lot of free time but I was not allowed to read anything :(

5. What’s something most people consider ugly but you consider beautiful?

Almost everything. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder :)

My Friday Fill in #9

1. When I fell in love I got more than expected!

2. If I have an air conditioner,I love it when the flowers bloom and it heats up outside!

Get paid for what you write

Recently while I was browsing through the blogs I was directed to this blog network from one of the blogs.The idea of getting paid for what I loved to do(writing) was very alluring!

Having done a thorough research on them I decided to spread the word!:)I have not yet made new friends here, since I am a newbie but I do intend to leave the opportunities open.At the moment I just cant remember how I was directed to this site and as soon as I figure that out,you'll know who is my first friend through PPP!
The entire interface of the website is so simple to understand.Initially I was like any browser a bit apprehensive...but now I am very comfortable!

They have this cool opportunity where in you can decide to donate the money you make or save it up.I have not yet decided on what to do with mine. But at present I have decided to save it up. Not I'm not being selfish...but I just wanted it like that!:)
This site is really cool I would suggest anyone who loves to write to try their hand in this.What is wrong in getting paid for something you like to do. Its almost similar to selling your painting!

I am open to help you out just in case you need to clarify something!Happy PPP-ing and blogging friends!

My Friday Fill in #8

1. The last time I lost my temper I, destroyed my library at home!

2. Sitting idle is what I'm fed up with!

3. The next book I'd like to read is Spouses by Shoba De.

4. A trip to Goa is what I'm looking forward to.

5. If you can't get rid of the skeleton[s] in your closet, lock it up, loose the key, use a new closet!

6. The best thing I got in the mail recently was my b'day gift from my husband, he bought it on ebay!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going out for a movie,tomorrow my plans include spring cleaning, and Sunday, I want to prepare for an up coming exam!

Thursday Thirteen #5

Thirteen Things I love about MY HUSBAND 1.... He gives me, my space 2.... He supports my naughty pranks 3.... He is there when I need him and when I want to freak out 4.... He understands my temper tantrums 5.... He controls me when I go overboard 6.... He gets me very useful gifts 7.... He looses his temper and cools down in two minutes 8.... He is very frank with everyone...if he hates someone or their action he tells it out 9.... He rarely wears a mask 10.... He has a nice baby like smell 11.... He gives me respect 12.... Without his support I would have never been able to manage studies and kids together 13.... He reads my blogs...which came as a surprise after he gave me a comment on a blog of mine...he didn't type it out though;) That is my husband...Its not that he is the most perfect person .He does have his bad side..but the true fact is that even I am not perfect and I have my bad side too despite that he loves me without any conditions. At times I do feel that having me as his wife is not fair on him as we have totally different perspectives on everything!But I guess we are managing quite well by adjusting! But let me tell you without his sincere support I would have never done many things in life! He has helped me fulfil almost all my dreams! B, If you are reading this ...I love you!

I dedicate this post to my parents on their 28 th year of togetherness! Today is their Wedding Anniversary!
My parents have come through all thick and thin together.
They were sweet hearts in college and then they got married after that.They both shifted to U.A.E together and they made a life for themselves and us!

They have had their share of squabbles and everything! When they have their fights I used to think...Man, and they say these two were in love!

LOL...once I got married I very much understand the hostility and all! It actually takes an experience to teach you about what others are feeling.Talk about putting yourself in other's shoes!

They used to have really bad fights about almost everything!And we kids used to be around to help them sort out and be OK! But after the both of us left the nest and flew off to make our own nests they decided that they had only themselves.They learnt to adjust to each other after we left home! Now they make decisions and dishes together! :)

May God Bless the both of them with cherished memories of togetherness!
