the face behind the blog
The woman of many talents,a good friend and a confidante ‘Thess’ of Thesserie has tagged me(You see,she didn’t really give me a choice with this one lol).It is to post about “the face behind the blog” The very purpose of this assignment is to find out what a person looks like and gives you (readers) a better insight & gives you chance to actually see who’s writing to you.Thanks my dear for this tag & thanks to you David Airey for starting it!
David Airey says:
Putting a face to the name of someone you haven’t met helps recognition and adds a more personal feel to your conversations.
What photograph shows you in a light we don’t often see through your blog?
Here are some others have joined in so far. I find it really nice to get to know them and to actually see their wonderful faces in their respective blogs, it makes their blog more interesting and fun to read:

So now it’s my turn. This is me!!!
I was born in Southern Leyte but grew up in Manila.My parents speaks Cebuano but my brother & I speak Tagalog at home,went to University and majored in Mass Com and ended up with Psychology degree.(See,I’m such a confused lol)After I graduated (in the early nineties) I worked as HRD-Admin Officer at Glicos for years then moved to Istanbul,Turkey and worked for Atlas Travel for more than 5 years.Then,I met this handsome german Physicist who would rather prefer to remain incognito in hammock with his favorite magazine at this point,lol.
On the 24th of this month it will 5 years since my darling husband and I got married.Haay five years of silliness,he claimed and he also keep on insisting that he was perfectly normal boy before he met me,lol
Here’s a picture of me & my son Seb.And that’s my daughter Ally.They’re both two months old in these photos!And here they are now,
Oh,Never mind that tutubi girl below,just another lost soul in Munich,lol
So, here’s a challenge for everyone as I’m going to tag 80% of my favorite blogsites linked here(I’m being nice,I know hehe)
Show us who is the face behind your blog please!So I’m tagging:

That last photo of yours with the LION statue is quite humorous.
“O, ano, kaya kong lumapit sa animal na to”
Very sophisticated looking, but apparently, I’ll pass this one. I’m a bit confused which directions I should start.
Thanks, cheh.
August 6th, 2007 20:12
Chechay, angg bata-bata mo pa rin hanggang ngayon aihihihi! Mapang-akit pa rin ang iyong ngisi he he he! Saan mo naman hinukay yan, ‘maasim’ pa *LoL*
Sarap kurutin ni abby at seb, ngarrrr!! ang ganda at guaping talaga ng combination nyo ni U, bow akesh!!
Lola, salamat for doing this meme, maaasahan ka talaga!!
At sana mapaunlakan ka naman ng mga tagged mo :=) ..Danke!! *muak muak*
August 6th, 2007 21:23
What an amazing background you have! You’re just on the cusp of riding the wave of social communication on the web!
Loved the photo of you with the lion in Munich.
Thanks for sharing.
August 6th, 2007 21:51
hi cheh, how sweet of you to tag me along with others (grr). Bitaw, joke lang yang grrr na yan. I have one memememe tag pending and here comes yours. Well, I’m sure I’ll manage
but in a frews days lang usa ha? See, I am currently working on two business themes at the moment so please have a little patience on me (nagmukha ng bruha).
Psst, you look soooo awesome! Balato ko. Miss you a lot and I promise to call you soonest I’m a bit free. My alipores has flown away na last 27th of June. A pity that our plan of going to Munich area was not materialized. Die Zeit war einfach zu knapp.
August 6th, 2007 22:44
Hello CheH,
Thanks for the tag! Tama juds ka its been a while. kumusta na? Hope everything is well with you!
Ill do the tag within this week hehehe
God bless!
August 6th, 2007 23:00
What a lovely presentation of yourself and even if I feel I’ve known you for years in the blogsphere as well as in FaceBook, it was nice to get even closer!
Thanks also for plugging me – that was flattering CheH! You’ll have to be patient though as Blogging to Fame takes a bit of time and also actually my vacation is over so I’ve been told I have work to do

Hey Cheh. Thanks for the tag but just like your husband, I’d rather remain incognito. There’s some mystery in it and I love people guessing how I look in person. Haha.
August 7th, 2007 00:49

[...] Tag fever indeed-dey, my third installment. Well, Cheh of the Knee-Dah-Lens told me to do these difficult slash hard slash confusing slash complicated me-me. It took me ages to understand the simple instructions, so I end up creating a low quality picture (somehow, intentional) of my Face Behind This Blog. I guess many of you have been flickring my likeness on my flickr account so picture this, a blog with a self-portrait of the author (no pun included there) means, you enhance your credibility by the simple fact that you’re not trying to hide. It connects to the virtual and physical worlds. I mean, I don’t mind putting pictures of myself here and there. Remember that people who’ve met you before will recognize your photo, and people who’ve read your site will recognize you when you meet in person. Don’t you know a huge percentage of the human brain is dedicated to remembering and recognizing faces? As for me, faces works better than remembering names. Ok, I am not arguing here, it’s your choice. I respect those who prefer to remained to be anonymous. It’s only a simple matter of trust. [...]
August 7th, 2007 22:25
Cheh, I did na pero I screwed up the instructions. Dibale, di kita inetsapwera.
