faq.

I'm really over-the-moon flattered when my readers are interested in me enough to ask questions.  Makes me feel like Stephen Colbert.  Or Celine Dion.  Or Morris the Cat.

To help you all out better, I decided to put some of the more common queries on one page.  Here.  Don't see your answers?  Please contact me.

Where are you from?
I'm Filipina-born and Canadian-raised.  So, The Philippines.  We moved to Canada when I was almost 4.  And I still know how to speak fluent Tagalog.  In fact, I learned how to read Tagalog AFTER moving here.  It's all phonetics really.  Like Hawaiian.  Wait, what was your question again?

Why "Life Candy"?
The 'life' part is about my wanting to talk about my life.  I know, shocking, eh?  The 'candy' bit is because my childhood nickname is 'Candy'.  It's a Filipino thing.  Everyone had to have a nickname.  I'm just thankful I wasn't called 'Bong-Bong', 'Jhet-Jhet', or 'Wheng-Wheng', which are all nicknames of my cousins, by the way.

You're in your 40s but you look like you're in your 20s.  What's your secret to looking so young?
I think it's a combination of things: the 'Asian gene' thing, healthy living with Isagenix, and laughing a lot and enjoying life.

Who designed your blog?
I did.  I took this original template and went to town on it.  I needed to do it myself because I'm a control freak about how I want my blog to look, I like to change things up often, and I enjoy playing around with CSS.  Besides, that software engineering degree's gotta be good for something.

Can you design my blog?
Sorry, I'm insanely expensive.  Only rockstars can afford me.  Seriously though, I wish I could, but my time is tight right now, and I can't take on any new projects.

Can we exchange links?
No, I'm sorry.  I don't do link exchanges.  Neither should you.

What's your blogging platform? Who hosts your domain?
I blog on Blogger, and my domain name service is handled by EasyDNS.

Gerard Butler?  Really?
What?  You don't think he's cute?!  Okay, so Lainey calls him "Spittle" and claims he doesn't know how to wear pants, but he's so funny, and he's cute, and he looks kinda like my husband.
