• Ten things... you know the drill

  1. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
  2. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
  3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
  4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

   

  So anyway, I think three people already tagged me (Des, Dessa and Gabe) so what the hell, its a good idea. Please excuse me though if I tend to get so out of the topic, or if I babble too much or something, since the very concept of my existence is the most preferred. :D

  1. Lets start with my most kept secret. Its really embarassing for me, and I'm sure it has pretty much the geeky nature or something. I cant ride a friggin' bike. It was so embarassing when Ive decided that ill try to learn it, and invited my dad to the park so he can teach me. I kept falling off, and lots of people were looking. To add to the insult though, some of them actually offered advice. I felt so retarded. I kinda want to try it again though, if ever I could. but I couldnt handle the very act of falling down the conrete garage (yes, only in the privacy of our driveway will I practice, if ever, free from the scrutiny). But it doesnt matter that much now though. Heck, I get a laugh out of it from time to time. :D

  2. I hate conformity. In everything I do, I dont want it to be the same as what others do, or what is "commonly done". I have no idea why really, if ever its like some past trauma, or just I was programmed for this disgust for the common flow of society or something. I like to dress nice, given that I dont look like everyone else, and that I am not categorized into the narrow stereotypes.

  3. Im the most wasteful in our family. My mom told my brother once that even if I was a joy being with when going out, I was still the most wallet burning of the three of us siblings. Its not a matter of shopping or preference for famous brands or anything really, but the criterias I consider in buying or dining. In shopping: nice environment, element of artistry in the products, freedom from the feeling of "morning family shopping chore," entailed by loud cries from the babies. In dining: good food, nice environment and ambience. When I go to a place thats so family-ish (perfect example is the feeling of shopping in groceries or cheap department stores in the afternoon), I tend to get depressed, no over-exaggeration intended. I guess im just not  that adaptive. Thats why i would like to sorround myself with class, which is possibly another trauma of mine. Though its not always like this, if given the choice, my preference/decisions would always be a bit heavier for the wallet, as compared to my borther's decisions. I blame my zodiac sign for it.

  4. People say im smart, but I feel stupid most of the time. There are so many things I dont understand, and when Im given an idea or instructions or something, I tend to misinterpret or miss out little details that are essential. The outcome thus is fiasco or it being akward. I think the fact that I know more than others because I study, not really because of me being naturally smart, or meticulously perceptive or definitely not me being a fast learner.

  5. I still sleep with my lamp on. My biggest fear, conciously, is perhaps fear of ghosts. I tend to over stimulate my wariness after ghost stories or movies, and even some memories tend to last as long as a couple or years or so. I still have this fear, brought forth from a TV documentary I saw when I was 6 or 7 or 8, that some ghost will grab my feet as I sleep, or flick it, and that is why I sleep with blankets on, or my underfeet not exposed. I am still waiting for the onset of maturity and adulthood to clear this big fear of mine. :(

  6. I get mean when Im bored or stressed, so watch out. I can be totally judgemental or insensitive if Im in a bad mood, but if I was not, Im nice... I guess. Haha.

  7. I am artistic, yet I always tend to freak people out with it. They said my art is too dark or something. I still think sadness and melancholy is a beautiful concept for art. I actually used to enter poster making contest held in High School. I never win. I did manage to win 3rd place once, since the judge was an art teacher, and told them to include my entry since it was interesting and abstract. The other contests they say that my paintings were not very postery. I guess theyre right. I did paint Mary once with her womb open and Jesus inside, while an angel pouring water over it. Its my fault I guess, I got lost in the context of it all.

  8. I love music, but Im very picky when it comes to picking those I like. It has to be either organic or mellow, and definitely has to be artsitic and unique. Organic in a sense that its free of electric accompaniments. Mellow, like that of Norah Jones or Jack Johnson, I hate loud music. Im not into pop, rnb, rap, and the common genres, but I love Jazz and Blues and those types that are uncategorizable. My friends think Im a freak for it.

  9. Its hard for me to be satisfied. Period. I always look for greener pastures, and little alterations in the pursuit for perfection. Its not a god thing really, since this entails unhappiness in the end.

  10. I hate afternoons. They show details I dont want to see, like dust, and blemishes or sweat. But basically because it brings forth heat. I love te rain. I dont get it why people hate the rain. I love gloomy days, and dark clouds, where its windy, and you become friends with a cup of cocoa.
