This was a note from an FB friend. the note’s instruction says, you write 25 things about you: facts, habits or goals. You tag 25 people who in turn would write the same thing about themselves. I’m not doing any of that but I am writing these 25 information about me because a). it makes me see myself in a more clear visual perspective and b). I haven’t written in a while. Let’s start.
1. I have no or maybe have not developed any maternal skills nor instincts but 2009 has given our family a new addition, Dean Castielle. This little angel is my niece and I have no qualms (or sort of) taking care of her, except when she throws a tantrum. I love her and everything about her but ask me if having Dean makes me want my own too. The answer is still no.
2. The last year saw the longest parting between me and the boyfriend. Melodramatic I know, but from the moment that we were together from 2004 we were never away from each other that long. He was away for training and deprived from any communication for the said duration, so imagine me always thinking, missing and thinking some more.
3. When it came to my weight, i never lost anything, I gained instead. I am truly, truly determined to lose it, all the way.
4. I was never good with my finances. One reason why I gain weight? I (embarassingly) spend it on food. I’m an impulsive shopper, mostly for myself and of course some for my loved ones. I definitely will save this time, seriously.
5. As a girlfriend, I have been very supportive and loving. I appreciate everything that the boyfriend has done for me and for this relationship. His line of work is not an easy feat but I’m there with him all the way.
6. I love sophistication and everything posh and sophisticated. I love dressing up and mixing up clothes. If you invite me to an occassion, expect me not to say no cause I need more reasons to dress up, lol!
7. I adore MAKE-UP!! More than dressing up, it’s putting on make-up that gets me high. Oh the lovely colors, combinations and the look that you can achieve! I can go from natural, to smoky, to bronzy J.Lo, etc. Make-up is the best thing ever made!
8. I have colored my hair burgundy for the 1st time in 2009, I did it on my own. I have always been afraid to touch my hair but I made a decision, what the heck, I changed my hair color.
9. Remember Buddy Boi? He’s my dog pitbull and i love him so much I actually kiss him, on the head of course.
10. Lame as it may sound but I have missed a lot of good movies on the cinema and I mean a lot. I don’t know, whenever there’s a good movie out and everyone’s hyped up to catch it on the big screen, the first thing that comes to my mind is “I can always catch it on the web.” I guess that’s just how it is for me.
11. Speaking of movies and cinemas, I have always been scared of watching in the cinemas alone. It started with this childhood urban legend that if you’re alone, someone will sit beside you at the movie house and inject you with an HIV-infected syringe needle. For the first time, in 2009, I watched 2 movies all by myself. The first was, I wanted to see Shrek so bad but no one would go with me and the other was I came from the airport to see the boyfriend off for Manila and since I was so depressed, I watched KungFu Panda to cheer myself up. I’m not gonna do it again.
12. Julie’s Bakeshop, my fave! And there’s Swiss Cottage, BreadTalk, Maiqui’s and now Caycon’s. Yes, I CAN live by bread alone. HAHA!!
13. When I eat out, the first thing I look for in the menu list is the pasta dishes, if there’s none, I move to chicken. I love FRIED CHICKEN!
14. Embarassing to say but I’m frequently late. I came up with a theory that this is due to me being born on a late month of the year which is October. I am doing something about this PROMISE.
15. This year, I’m getting my professional license. Wish me luck!
16. I have never been outside the country nor have even crossed the seas to Mindanao but I’ve always wanted to go to Davao. It’s now on my to do list.
17. Whenever I get my toenails done, I always have a lot of conditions and not-to-dos. I’m chicken like that. I came to the salon to get my nails prettified not to have it wounded.
18. I love the beach soooo much but i never knew how to swim until late 2008. On 2009 I dived off from a banca off the coasts of Cebu and it was the most exhilarating experience ever! I snorkeled without fear and yep I’m gonna do it again. Next stop, diving.
19. COFFEE!! COFFEE!! COFFEE!!!!! (’nuff said)
20. I love reading and my all-time fave author is A. Rice. Love the books, love the characters, love everything.
21. When I’m browsing online I only get to about 2 sites, Facebook & my email. I know there are a lot of beautiful readable sites the net can offer me, gotta search & search!
22. I have tried online dating with the help of dating websites but damn, are there a number of online perverts out there. Unimaginable!
23. I’ve hit the dreaded number on the weighing scale, so dreaded I’m not gonna even say it here. I swear to God I’m going to loose it and loose it forever.
24. This is so embarassing. Everyone knows I love books and I love to read but I don’t buy books. I either download them or borrow them from anyone. If you were still studying then you can’t afford books that’ll be understandable but if you got your own salary and you can’t spare a few bucks for books, shame.
25. I don’t make friends much and I’m not the friendliest person this side of the equator but for this year, I’ll try to be as friendly as I can possibly be. Watch out for that big smile on my face. *grin*
Finally! I thought this list would never end! It wasn’t easy thinking of things about me but hey I made it. I’ll look back on this someday and check if it’s still me by then. Make your list.
