Copy pasted from Facebook. I still can't believe I was able to do this. Didn't think I had enough attention span. (To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag at least 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click post.) *sigh* if only my life were that interesting. But I'll give it a shot. I've been tagged by Liz. Here goes... 1. I have two kids and I love them to death. They make me laugh and smile and feel all gooey inside. 2. I've been blessed with a wonderful husband who loves me no matter how I look or how bad I behave sometimes. I can be a first class bitch when I want to. And he's always been very patient with me. He also has the balls to tell me when I've crossed the line. It's his dream for us to grow old and spend our afternoons watching sunsets on our beach together. 3. I love watching sunsets. I love counting shooting stars. And walking on the beach at night. 4. I don't know how to swim or ride a bike. 5. I lived on the beach for over a year. It was great but I'm a city girl and I couldn't quite get myself completely out of a city, any city, for more than a month a time. Bus fares to Bacolod and Dumaguete were pretty expensive but I just couldn't help it. So sue me. 6. Working for television for nearly eight years taught me a lot about life. I can't help but be thankful for my former boss from whom I learned so much. He's been dead for years and I still miss him. 7. I love riding airplanes. My first plane ride was to Puerto Princesa when I was in fourth grade. My lolo took us to Palawan as a gift for being the top in class. He passed away a couple of years later and missed my grade school graduation. I wonder where he could have taken me if he knew I would be the class valedictorian. 8. I still remember my grade school crush who, luckily, turned out to have a crush on me too. LOL. We never would talk to each other. In sixth grade, he'd walk me home but we'd be on either side of the road, not talking. It was in our fourth year in high school when he finally had the guts to talk to me. That was a crazy time. *wink*wink 9. I met my grade school crush again in the most unlikely and unexpected place: in a golf and country club where he worked as a waiter. I was there for an interview with a golfer with my boss and my husband. That was crazy too. LOL. 10. I used to collect stamps when I was a kid. Now I wish I were into crafts. But toddlers and crafts are a deadly mix. Maybe when they're a bit older. 11. I'd like to design t-shirts someday. And sell them and become a millionaire. 12. F%&$@ that. I want to become filthy rich. Being poor is so...inconvenient. Hee. 13. I make it a point to say "thank you" and "please" when using public transport. I don't think people or the world, for that matter, owe me anything. 14. I am so insecure I hate it. About everything. I'm working on it. Every single day. Promise. 15. I sometimes wish things in my life were a bit different. But I've learned to roll with the punches because, what else is there to do? 16. I need to lose a lot of weight. Like, half of my weight right now so I can go back to my body when I was in high school. I want to wear nice clothes and not look like a mother of two so much. 17. I am thankful for very very good friends. They're more like family really. They're there for me even if my own family isn't. 18. I almost didn't make it to my college graduation. My mom had no money to pay for the rent of the gown. My college friends came to the rescue -- Mae and Julia. They're super and awesome. I will never forget that. 19. I shy away from parties. I've never been a partygoer because of #14. I care too much about what people will say. But again, I'm working on that. Trying to, anyway. I can't believe I missed the Comm Block reunion last January. I hope I can make it to the next one, though. 20. I'd like to learn how to draw. And dance. Every time I listen to Michael Buble I always wish I knew how to dance. 21. I don't like watching movies. There are movies that I'd watch, sure, but frankly, I'd rather read. 22. I only like a handful of TV shows -- Oprah, CSI, House, Project Runway, Mythbusters, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I cannot be coerced into watching shows that I don't like, even if every body says it's great. I like to spend my vacations doing marathons of my favorite TV shows. 23. But I do love the Lifestyle Channel. I'd like a TV of my own that has cable so I can watch it any time I please. But you can't always get what you want. Someday, I'll have a satellite dish and the TV will be permanently tuned in to it. Payback time. 24. I love detective stories and have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels several times each. I'm also loving Agatha Christie right now and aim to read all of her books this year. 25. I've just read Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist. It was enlightening. Thanks to Nica, Liz and Meg for encouraging me to buy it. |
