About Me

Updated 6/1/09: Working mom. I love music, coffee, tea, and crafts and love the idea of giving and receiving neat stuff from mail.

Originally from the Philippines. In my 40's, married and work in the medical field.

Favorite Music

My 8 year old daughter loves the Beatles and ABBA songs right now.

I love jazz, folk music, pop/ballad. Among favorite artists include Stan Getz, John Legend, David Wilcox.

Favorite Books

I like craft books, self help books, fiction, non- fiction, cook books and even diet books. ;) I listen to Audio books. Favorite Authors include - Robert Ludlum, Anna Quindlen.

Favorite Television

I probably haven't missed a season of Survivor, Top Chef, American Idol and DWTS ( the last 2 i watch with my daughter). I like Jeopardy, David Letterman.

Favorite Movies

I love Chick flicks. Don't watch horror movies. Love the Guy from Music and Lyrics - Hugh Grant - I watch movies where he stars in. I also like Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, and Tom Hanks.

My husband would reluctantly watch the movies with me. But I make sure he never forgets when he had to choose and picked Starship Troopers.

Favorite Crafts

Oh Crafts! I started with cross stitching. I gave away my first work- Geraniums in a corner of a house- Hope I could take that back. I like cross stitching Hearts.

Next, fell in love with rubber stamping - I began buying supplies but never got to do as much as i wanted to. Would love to do greeting cards again. Love scrap booking. I like doing inchies and dotees. New love - matcbox craft.

Also did crocheting, knitting when I was younger.

Favorite Find

Swap-bot!!! which i came accross while at twitter.com. Check me out there so I can include as one of my friends - my name there is Fetot or Taritz.

Favorites list:

games - scrabble, and other word games, pictionary, cranium.

Food - sweet treats, chocolates, love sushi, pastry,cakes. Drinks - coffee, espresso, tea, bubble tea. I like to try food from different countries or regions - I hope I can get suggestions from you about a neat place to eat, and what food you recommend when i visit a new place.

Crafts - love greeting cards, i like dotee dolls now ( i just made my first one on 3/29), cross-stitch especially hearts, any crafts (cute, mini, unique ones), i like scrap booking.

Hobbies - I collect stamps (left them to a friend back home, wish now i could get them back), I have coins, sugar packets, matches, paper bills, napkins, stationery, pressed coins. When i go to a new place - i get magnets, postcards, pressed coins, key chains, pins and lots of pics and a heart shaped memento.

Favorite color - Espresso brown and dark red. My daughter's is purple,

I like anything Hearts - whether handmade stuff, stickers, stones, beads.

I love wildflowers. I like taking pics of flowers. I like them in postcards, note cards etc.

I appreciate handmade jewelry. I love scents, neat stuff that i get on really good sales. I love sweaters. Love shopping for my daughter's stuff. I love children's clothes. I dream of having a children's boutique.

Favorite season: Autumn and Spring and christmas season.

Love to have tea parties with my daughter. We have a good collection of small tea cups and small dishes for different settings. I love to make tiny treats to go with tea/coffee for me and juice, hot chocolate or milk for my daughter.

Dislikes: not much - just licorice flavored food. Not too much into halloween stuff.

Current wishlist: - surprise me with anything unique - not really picky.

  • embellishments, buttons, ribbons, cute paper clips.

  • extra samples of inchies, or paper scraps to do inchies.

  • scrap fabric and beads for dotees.

  • pressed coins, international coins and stamps.

  • buttons that you pin on clothes (badges) - small sized ones for my daughter.

  • snackies

  • things needed for matchbox craft

  • stationery and stickers.

  • cappucino size or tiny cups we use for espresso and tea party time.

  • pin cushion or needle book:)

  • mini thingies - kawaii? for my daughter.

  • scented wax potpourri, smellies...

I enjoy swapping thru Swapbot!!! Thanks.

Comment: Thanks so much! Great matchbox. It did come with 51 cents postage due, but that is typical for me at this point. I hate the PO!
Response: I just got a postal scale and I use the USPS site to calculate postage. I may have made an error on this one. Sorry.
