Can we have a view?
Saturday, September 22, 2007

Most people spend a considerable amount of time in customizing or in finding a desktop wallpaper that suits their taste. Sadly, our computers often remains personal.
Why don’t we brag to the world our good-find wallpapers and let them have a peek to our personality via our desktops?
I was tagged by dearie Beng and it's good that instructions were clear and posted coz if not I will not know how to go about it.
Well, on top is a view of my desktop. Who else will the vanidosa feature but her face, hahaha.... you need not wonder why.
The tagging usual procedure:
Spread it out thru tagging people whom you think eager enough to do the task ![]()
Now it’s my turn to tag the following 5? bloggers:
Melissa-AnP
Kristine
JC Smith
Deden
Dodong Flores
My Desktop Free View Instruction:
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop.It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by:
[1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key)
[2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).
[3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

The Keys To Your Heart

| The Keys to Your Heart |
![]() In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

I'm a little snobby
You Are A Little Snobby |
![]() Because if no one was ever snobby, no one would ever try to dress up or look pretty. And while you do enjoy the finest things in life (that you can afford), you tire of superficiality. You know there's more to life than what's just on the surface. |
Now, I want to know how these people score:
1. G
2. Noemi
3. Jet

The "Face Behind The Blog"
Tuesday, July 24, 2007

I had second thoughts doing this taggie by cuz Girlie since the face is all over this blog. Anyway, I should still post a picture of me that has never been seen before- the unglamourous vanidosa. Yes that's me straight out of the shower. A Filipina, Christian blogger, based in Sta. Ana, Manila, Philippines married to a loving but sometimes insensitive guy named Rey.
I have two beautiful (from a mom*s opinion) girls, Rhea Marie, a graduate of Medicine now trying out a graveyard shift (8:00 pm to 5:00 am) job in a Canadian firm evaluating and approving Insurance claims to earn for her vanities. She*s hopefully taking the medical boards on February, 2008. She got married to a cute guy named Job, an Optometry graduate before her 18th birthday and now have 2 beautiful and smart girls aged 11 and 8. So that makes me a young granny, oh gosh!
My youngest is Reyna Bianca *Queenie* a 14 year old high school freshman at O.B. Montessori Center, a brat who hates studying but loves to dance, sing, watch DVDs, eat and sleep.
I am a SAHWife and an Executive (duh!) since our Office is just a doorstep away but most of the time out on (un)official tasks except for client calls and meetings. I work in a family owned company of Rey*s (Radar Security & Watchman Agency) a Security Agency providing security guards, etc. to business firms and I head the Operations.
Approaching my Golden Year, I live up to my being a Vanidosa trying hard to stay fit and firm despite the uncontrollable aging process, thus the blog Vanidosa. Unfortunately, I never learned how to cook though I supervise all the household chores. Thanks to all my dependable *helpers*.
It*s hard to admit but at times I*m becoming more moody, cranky, sluggish, lazy and bored. I*m trying hard to be out with good friends and to regularly attend belly dancing sessions with cuz every Mondays and Fridays (with Queenie) to keep me up.
Some of the blogs that I know which put up picture(s) of me are :

And here's the instruction to this meme :
1st step - Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already showed a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.
2nd step - Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference.
3rd step - Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.
4th step - If you link back to me here and send an email I’ll be sure to include links back to you.
Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.
Wonderful People I'd Love to Tag:
Noemi and Emmyrose

about me
Sunday, May 20, 2007
I was tagged by cuz girlie to share 7 random things about me.

1. I ‘m a certified Beauty Salon addict. I have my regular monthly root dye, countless blow drying sessions depending on my scheduled client meetings, manicure/pedicure sometimes inclusive of foot scrub. The latter is done on a home service if my manicurist is available. I also go for eyelash extension and facials at the Vicky Belo's IF I got some extra moolah.

2. If my laziness strikes, I can stay in bed the whole day.

3. I hate clutters! I fix and tidy up our room before going to bed.

4. I had my tomato-like nose trimmed in 1983 and had undergone Botox last year which didn’t last for 6 months as stated. I’m planning to have a restylane/perlane injected on the visible folds from the sides of my nose down to the corners of my mouth.

5. I wear size 1 jeans, 35-36 (4 1/2- 5) shoes, maintains wearing small to medium size shirts or dresses otherwise I will be very unhappy wearing an “L”.

6. I had a mild skin disorder when I was younger and was so sensitive to heat from the spritz of the burning cooking oil when frying so my mom didn’t encourage me to learn how to cook but my sister taught me how to make chiffon and banana cakes.

7. I’m scared of airplane turbulence and eartquakes
