Long time ago (July 25, 2007 to be exact), a mommy blogger friend named Mitchteryosa tagged me in her blog entry “Who is Mitchteryosa? (You should visit her site. What a prolific blogger she is! And living a very interesting life too with her husband and lovely daughter in the Kingdom of Bahrain.)
Jeez, it took me this long to respond. Sorry, Mitch…. 
In this meme, I am required to post a picture and write something about myself.
Now, I had already posted a couple of pics of me here in previous posts, although I am not so sure if I had already made proper introduction of myself.
Here’s the accompanying photo as required for this post:
That’s me and and my daughter. We were obviously fighting for space before the camera here. LOL! I should be on the foreground, you know. But she had the cam phone in her hand, and I couldn’t move when she shoved me aside because we were seated in a narrow bench while waiting for our ’sundo’ after attending their college orientation night held last June 22 at Wack Wack Golf and Country Club.
Now, as for the introduction… I don’t think it is still necessary. I have opened my life in this blog, shared my pains and joys, told stories of my mothering adventures and misadventures, of which there are more to come in future posts. In other words, nai-chika ko na halos ang buong buhay ko sa blog na ito. There is no more mystery. I have become as predictable as can be. Even blog friends know when I am depressed or happy. He-he.
So, with this entry my dearest blog friends, I TAKE A LEAVE FOR A WHILE. Errr.. what do you call it? Hiatus? Yeah! HIATUS!
Some personal concerns (one of which is health) are beckoning. I hope you will still be here when I come back. Ah, I will miss you all, but doesn’t it always prove right when lovers say: Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
I am not tagging anyone but I’d like to thank Mitch for this meme. It gave me an excuse to post a photo before I take a much needed break, so that hopefully, I won’t be forgotten during my absence.
So long….
…I’ll be back,
Count on it.
I’ll come home to you
or if you’re gone
I’ll find you.
I feel the need
not just to see you yet again
but to face whatever circumstance
needs facing. - Rod McKuen
your daughter has a nice smile.
rest assured, your readers will be waiting.
Your daughter obviously got her good looks from you.
Pasensha na kay husband. Hahaha! Anyway, hope you get well soon. Remember, health is wealth.
now we know where your daughter got her great looks! the photo says it all!
go and take that much needed hiatus… rest assured that we will still be here eagerly awaiting your return.
Oh you are very lovely. Hope you can find time to visit us in Manila even if you are on a blog break. Take care .
Do take care, Rhodora.
Have a good hiatus and I’ll be waiting for you to come back!
Ingats!

You are both lovely, like mother like daughter.
You do take that break and take care of yourself, rhodora.
Para kayong the Judds - Naomi and Wynona - both charming
Good luck on your hiatus and get well

Oh, I thought you were sisters!
Come back soon. We will miss your blog entries!

Good looking mom and daughter! And Sidney is right - you look like sisters!
What’s that old song? “If it takes forever, I will wait for you …” Hope you enjoy your hiatus but don’t forget, we’ll all be waiting.
Mrs… you’ve got a lovely daughter

Omg, am not sure if my comment got in.
Anyway, whatever it is … blog back soon, bounce back soon. And get in touch if you need a shoulder.
Kamikha sya nung middleson mo.
Late na yata ako but anyway, have a good break away from blogging and do take care, Rhoda. We’ll all be here when you come back from your hiatus.
I don’t need to comment the photo. nasabi na yata ng ibang commenters ang gusto kong sabihin, hehe.

Both of you are pretty. Come back soon, Rhodora!
We’ll miss you rhodora!pls come back soon! hope everything’s well.
It has been over 2 weeks ha? Hope everything’s ok! Had my own all too brief break from blogging. I guess, in everything, one has to step back to rest, to recharge, to refresh perspectives .. and all that. Come back soon and don’t forget us, ha?
Hi Rhoda, lovely mom and a lovely daughter as well.
wow, what perfect timing! it’s only now that i have time to bloghop and you are on a leave. tsk tsk what coincidence, no? eneweiz, hindi talaga maganda nadudulot ng blogging, no? nagpe-fail ang health.. ha ha hope everything will be alright.
It’s so nice to hear from you again. Hope you’re doing better now after a good rest.
Thanks for sharing this lovely photo. It’s been a while and it would be nice to stay in touch again. Take care!
