Blog Challenge Day 6

Favorite superhero and why

My response to this blog topic will not help me win the Miss Universe crown.

I'm on the fence with this one. I used to have Storm on the top of my list but I must have outgrown it. Neither deep affinity nor strong connection exists now. I don't even care anymore if she's the perfect example of a strong, smart, powerful, righteous and fair woman. The characteristics now just seem too.... cliche-ish.

So for a change, I'm settling for the following characteristics with "powerful" non-negotiable as it's requisite of a superhero: powerful, loyal, cute, funny. No one else represents this perfectly than..... Bumblebee!

Bumblebee's like a "pet" to Sam in Transformers. Like a pet, Bee's loyal and cute. Unlike a pet though, he's independent, smart and powerful. Doesn't hurt too that his overall mission in life is to protect men like Sam Witwicky from villains like the Decepticons. Hubby and I are so enamored with him that we nicknamed one of our cars, an emerald green Toyota Corolla 1999 sedan, "Bee" (the other car, a silver-grey Honda Odyssey 2010 mini-van, is "Fiona".... don't ask me why. One look at "her" and I just know she's a "Fiona"). :)

Hearts and Valentine's Day

What I got for my hubby:

As seen on my FB wall post with the caption, "Just because we can't wait: You are as noble and as handsome
as Optimus Prime and as cute and as funny as Bumblebee. You are a Transformer
because you transformed my life. Happy Valentine's Day, hon!"

The jaw-dropping gift he got for me:

Why was it jaw-dropping? Well for starters he already got me my wish: A sterling silver necklace with a heart pendant made of lab-created ruby. How was I supposed to know that he'd give another one whose specifications
made me think I should never wear this while walking in Manila?Check this out.

So when walking in Manila, I should, instead, wear this Accessories by Precious creation of mine:

My first polymer clay "bead" pendant for the love-themed necklace I made just in time for Valentine's. :)
