Sandier Pastures

I got this at Karin’s… and answered to satisfy my boredom at the office one Sunday. Here’s spilling some facts about me.

Facts about G:

1. Were you named after anyone?
Maybe? but not after anyone as in a person although I would like to think they thought of Grace Kelly when I was born. Seriously, I was given my name because I am the first child and my parents believed I was a grace from above. Talk about pressure from the time of birth!! I hope I lived up to that thought.

2. When was the last time you cried?
Let me see…hmmm, I took a moment so that means I haven’t cried for more than 100 days!!

3. Do you like your handwriting?
In English or in Japanese? I like how it looks like in Japanese than in English.

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
I am easy to please. Give me a good burger and I’m happy. Grilled well and good. NOT McDonalds. A good Kobe beef medium-rare steak is superb. Easy to please huh? lol

5. Do you have kids?
One kid…more to follow in case I get silly bored about this job and quit to be a birthing machine.

6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Why not?!

Only when I’m PMS-sy.

8. Do you still have your tonsils?

I’d do it with my daughter when she is old enough. But I am sure it’s easily said than done as I am afraid of heights.

10. What is your favorite cereal?
I don’t do cereals. I’m Asian, he he.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
NO. It is a major pain to untie your shoes every time you take them off especially when you live in Japan.
