Are you loyal to brand names? What would it take for you to switch to a different product?

I am very loyal to the brands I use. The company’s bad reputation, poor service or low product quality will definitely make me switch to another brand.

Do you push the speed limit?

When I was a younger driver back home in the Philippines, I’ve done so many, many times. I like the adrenalin rush of driving really fast (and yes beyond the speed limit) especially along the highway.

But when I got older and started driving in Singapore and now here in Sydney, I lost my “fearless” attitude toward driving. All the more now that I have a passenger, my daughter.

What is your top economic woe? What have you put off doing, or stopped buying because of the economy?

My husband was surfing news sites last night and he showed me an article about USA Today’s Survey: USA in Recession. And that for me is my top economic woe. Just thinking of the spillover effect of that globally scares and saddens me. More people will lose jobs, more people will go hungry, more people will do bad things in order to survive.

And so, we remain practical spenders in terms of our household expenses. We buy what we really need and rewarding ourselves once in a while. We have decided to cut down on our travel plans this year just leaving a major holiday trip to Manila in December. There are so many things we can do to save money and I’m still learning a few tips and tricks here and there.

Buh bye April. HELLO MAY! What will you not miss about April? And what are you looking forward to in May?

I can’t think of anything that I will not miss in April. It was a good month. I am looking forward to cooler weather (it’s our first autumn and winter..) and the launch of a blog project!

When is the last time you cleaned your home? Would you ever hire a cleaning service?

With other chores to do like cooking, ironing and laundry, there’s no way for me to clean the whole apartment in one shot. Plus, I have a toddler to attend to and she tops the priority list!

So what I do is, I clean certain areas of the apartment everyday. The living room today, bedroom the next, then the kitchen, etc. I would hire cleaning service if my husband and I can’t manage to do the chores anymore. If we can afford it and the free time would allow us to spend quality time with each other as a family, why not?

I must say that Wordpress 2.5 is pretty darn cool behind the scenes. Have you upgraded to WP 2.5 yet?

I have upgraded over 12 sites to 2.5. Phew! I like the interface and all but I had problems with the upload function (which was resolved by changing folder permission settings) and now with the email function. Sigh.
