Ylan’s Refuge

A tag from Genalyn, sounds interesting so here. Thanks girl.

Here are the rules :

Instructions :
To play this game, all you must do is explain what your most common writing mistake is.
Then, simply tag 5 people for the meme.
Those 5 will, in return, tag 5 more people.
Ultimately, readers should see a tapestry of common grammar and spelling mistakes. Therefore, anyone who feel ashamed of their errors will feel a bit more confident and secure. Copy the person and persons’ names that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps build community.

The answers:

Norm : Sometimes I’m confused of the grammar and right spelling. Then I’m typing so fast that usually miss-spell taht instead of that and many more.

Lanie: I dont know how to put my link just my name on it so pardon me..maybe you could help me this. Anyway, my common mistake is my grammar, spelling specially if I’m writing. I dont usually spending time to read the direction just answer the guestion quick. My son got this bad habit that I want to break because its a big mistake even I until now I still do. I don’t like reading a lot of article. I only ready when it is very interesting not boring.

Amy : Sometimes i got confused with spelling and grammatical problems.. I used to write words like ( freinds) instead of friends & words receive instead of recieve. lol* And besides, living in a french spoken country.. it is very much impossible for our english to get improved.

Genalyn: I admit that my english were not really perfect, I get confused with past tense and present tense, well its not our mother tongue language so I sometimes dont mind it, and I hope people will read or hear me will just be understanding to me.

ME: I’m quite “strict” when i write stuff in English. However, sometimes my mind is too fast than my fingers. What happens then is that i’ll miss out words or i interchanged letters.

Anyone interested on the tag, just grab it!

Here’s a tag from Yenny on resolutions. Thanks for sharing!

1. Do you make New Year’s resolutions or personal goals?
Both…

2. Have you ever kept a New Year’s resolution? Achieved a personal goal?
Neither! (LOL!) (walay ayu nako oi!)

3. What things are you always resolving to do but never actually do?
i sometimes procrastinate and i don’t like it yet i still do it. tsk!

4. Why do you think most people fail to uphold their New Year’s resolutions?
because people don’t take it as a self conviction, sometimes they just make a list just so to have a list…

5. Share the thing you most want to do this year and describe five steps you will take to make it happen.
Get my butt out of ****.
The steps? Get serious in job hunting.

Tagging everyone interested to answer.

What are some of your new year’s good luck traditions?

Our tradition back home to have 12 different kinds of fruits put in white bowl, my mom wear dotted dress with pocket so she can put her 24 coins to shake when the clock struck at 12 then family gather together around the table with traditional foods and we pray. [ i really missed this tradition with my family back home]. Other good luck tradition hung a grapes by the door. Carlota of My Daily Sunset 2

My beloved mother told us don’t open the money pouches until a few days have passed. Traditional New Year foods are also thought to bring luck, she said 13 different kinds of fruits is good luck, and family together around tables of traditional foods. lolli of s0-cute.net

My mom used to collect some coins and when the new year comes she put the coins in a bowl and shake it to create sounds. She said its good luck for money throughout the year. And also wearing dotted dresses on new year don’t know why. CC and chalyza and keep.

I don’t have any traditionals during New Year. Juliana RW

My old folks always told us to avoid spending money on new years day. They said, once you spend on the first day of the year, you like to spend the rest of the year. Behind d Scenes of ME and Retchel’s Pure Life and A little bit of me

I grew up believing that if you have some money on your pocket (whatever you’re wearing) come New Year’s eve it will ensure steady flow of income throughout the year. The other belief is that the main door of the house should be wide open come New Year’s eve so that good luck will be ushered in. Juliana of MY WORLD and JULIANA’S LAIR.

I wear polka dots on new year’s eve with my pockets filled with coins and jump my heart out when the clock ticks 12midnight. Later on, to add more fun, I’ll just grab a “tabon sa kaldero” and mao akong dukdukon!

dotted me!
ebedensya na mag polka dots!
