Very nice getting to know more about you. Found you on Over the Moon Link Party.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh..that was a LOT of questions for you to answer! I liked reading them, though.
ReplyDeleteI like the last song you listened to. I think that was mine as well. Hahaha! It's just sooooo good!
I like reading these things and learning random facts about people! I might have to do this one myself, eventually.
ReplyDeleteA cookie decorator that doesn't have a sweet tooth!
ReplyDeleteYou don;t have your ears pierced.
yay vampires that look like Ian Somerhalder
I love how you answered your love or money question with a question mark.. it's naive to think one is better than the other.. I feel they go hand in hand. Money makes the love easier and love makes the money worth it.
Loads of questions neatly answered :-)
ReplyDeleteI love vampires, too :).. But I do believe in aliens hahaha. Nice to know you more in this fun way. And your angelic cookie is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI was worried I would be unable to drive a car. I too am spatially challenged. I do drive, but I stay far away from parallel parking. My husband laughs at me for it.
ReplyDeleteI remember Lee Majors. ;) I wanted to BE the Bionic Woman at one point in my childhood, lol. Love reading your answers and getting to know more about you!
ReplyDeleteVeronica,
ReplyDeleteWOW, that's a whole lot of questions to answer. But...I am definitely going to lift them from the host site you reference. I began a "Get to Know Me" series, if you're interested. I have two posts thus far if read yesterday's post then I give mention to my first one there.
I loved the Havana Chicken song. That's so funny. Strangely, I shared Camila's version on my site recently. I may have to use this rendition in a my Friday Sillies post. :)
Thanks for visiting today. Have a wonderful week!
What a lot of work this was.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Great blog post. Must have taken you ages to answer all 100 questions :) #bloggersbest
ReplyDeleteYou cookie decorating skills are incredible! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete#FabFridayPost
Great to find out a bit more about you Veronica. Sarah #fabfridaypost
ReplyDeleteThis is great Veronica. I learned a little more about you. Thanks for sharing on Sunday's Best.
ReplyDeleteWell done that must have taken a while, thank you for sharing #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI love reading random facts about bloggers! And i agree, cockroaches are just grim. #kcacols
ReplyDeleteI love this tag, you learn so much about people! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteWhat a super way to share and get to know each other! I don't like bugs of any kind, so cockroaches get a great big eek from me too -- worse though, vermin. Mice, not nice. #kcacols xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat to get to know you better - I took part in this tag not long ago. I hate cockroaches too and agree with you about teleportation (as an expat that would be wonderful, just to be able to pop home!). I also can't drive, it's probably the closest thing I have to a phobia. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteGosh! What a long list. I've never read your blog before, but I feel like I know you well now! Lots of interesting facts, your family history in Malaysia sounds interesting. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI remember six million dollar man! That was a fun show.
