In a post not too long ago, Oz-based Pinay blogger Shai generated ideas from her readers about some of the wild things they've done in their lifetime. I would like to know about yours though am not sure if anybody will come out totally in the open about those things. Do give it a try and I'll make my own rundown here. Reminiscing about my own wild and crazy times make me smile. Reaching this age, I believe I've become tamer which doesn't really equate to good news. Tamer = boring. Those were the days: ...

I am so (in) famous that nobody tagged me :P but I am doing this just the same.
