Tom yam is always sooooooooo
The Face behind the blog
tagged by thess, (get ready tita theklay i will get even someday 
)
i’m supposed to show a never before seen photo of myself, tell about myself, and then tag other victims.
i’ve hardly shown my mug in this blog. you’d have to be very curious about me to see my fez anywhere.
no one has ever published any other photo of me in the blogworld as far as i know.
this naturally pessimistic and cynical old lady is married to an idealistic sunny ex-Peace Corps Volunteer who’s now a devoted social worker, and we have three superduper kids and two cats in a dilapidated but cozy old blue house.
i inflict my sorceryPsychology degree on all of them, from time to time.
that’s it, the pictures will speak for themselves.
***”the brain behind this meme is David Airey The Face Behind The Blog. It has four steps:
1st step
Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already show a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.
2nd step
Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference. Here are the others who have participated so far:

beeyutipul!!! You were born cute, but got more beautiful with time
Ang galing ng timeline. I like it too! Hmmm….now I have to go through my archives kung meron akong pekture na hindi nakaka shocking. :)
July 30th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
seriously,
it took me a loooong time before i accepted that it’s not what’s outside, but what’s inside that makes anyone a beauty, that it’s in the Eye of the beholder, etc. et al atbp…. from all the constant pang aapi ng mga kamag-anak…
pero ika nga ni J.K. Rowling…”all was well..”–HP 7 (nabasa mo na? nabasa mo na? kuwentuhan naman tayo, napaka iksayting eh!!! pero nalungkot/naiyak ako sa pagsara…)
can’t wait to see your “Face” project too!!!!! thanks in advance for sa ‘yong pagpapaunlak
