25 Random Things About Me

Recently I was very, very busy and too tired to compose anything, be it a blog or a simple email. I felt guilty too that I missed my friends blog entries and was not able to do something about those tags. Sorry, will make it up soon.

Anyway, I was tagged with this note in Facebook and thought I'd post it here too. By the way, I had a tough time coming up with 25 and just for the fun of it I'm tagging 3 friends: Ana Marie, Minette and Shirley. ;)

So, here it goes...

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I've been tagged with this note weeks ago but was too busy with work and too tired to think of 25 random things. Finally got the chance to sit down and get on with it, hopefully I can finish it soon because a couple more tag notes are waiting.

2. I never ran out of things to talk about with my best friend. We are each others' 'human diaries' and 'shock absorbers'. Even if we are miles apart, no matter how busy we are, we always find time to catch up and reconnect.

3. I don't get enough sleep because I'm a night person. When I do finally go to bed, it takes about half an hour (or much longer) before I fall asleep. Thus, in the mornings I'd rather sleep longer than wake up early for breakfast.

4. First thing I do when I get out of bed is to take a shower, otherwise I would be a walking zombie. I also don't feel comfortable going out without taking a shower first.

5. I tried a 3-day detox diet of watermelon and water only. I felt really light on the 2nd day, but I decided to quit because I was too hungry to continue.

6. I love to read. I always bring a book when I travel. I laughed and cried reading Love Story and Oliver's Story by Erich Segal and Tuesdays with Morrie.

7. I'm scared of frogs, lizards, snakes, worms and rats. There was one incident when I almost got hit by a cab when I froze in the middle of the street while crossing because I saw a frog right in front of me. And a funny one when I was walking with a few guys and they all started jumping around and shouting because I suddenly shrieked when I saw a rat.

8. I love cheesecake! I used to have ''cheesecake dates' with my girl friend Shirley. We used to meet up in cafes and try out different varieties and versions of cheesecakes while chatting the rest of the day (or night) away. We missed out on these dates lately because our schedules do not jive and I'm out of town most of the time. :(

9. I get irritated when I am distracted while in the middle of something important or urgent, especially if it's about something that is of much less or no importance at all.

10. People usually think I am much younger than my real age. I was with a colleague one time and some people thought I was his daughter. lol

11. When I was in college I made up a 'goals' list, which I kept and only came across with almost a decade or so later. It's amazing how my goals and perspective have changed since then.

12. I keep old letters/cards from friends and read some of them back years later. I find it interesting to look back on our thoughts, interests and experiences before. It's like going back in time.

13. I see too much infidelity that I sometimes wonder if one day there would be an outbreak of a virus which causes immediate death to anyone who would be unfaithful, even just by having unfaithful "thoughts"... would humans be extinct???

14. I only tried to get into one college and told my mother that if I don't get in, I won't study anymore. A few weeks later, I realized how childish and stubborn I was but I was too proud to take back my word. Luckily I got in. :)

15. If you ask me to do something and tell me to do it exactly the way you want it to be done then you better do it yourself so as not to disappoint both of us.

16. I don't mind if you don't give me credit for something I accomplished but I do mind if you or other people who never even laid a hand on it nor broke a sweat for it take the credit. $#@%&!

17. When I am angry I usually keep quiet because I do not want to say things I would later regret. But when I am angry you will definitely know it. lol

18. I am not very religious but I believe there is one God. I respect other religion and I am open to some of their teachings but I will never be forced to believe in everything they say.

19. My definition of "user-friendly" - people who calls themselves your friends but only knows or remembers you when they need something from you. In short, they are just using you.

20. I hate boxing and wrestling. I think boxing is a violent sport and wrestling is too much drama.

21. I usually don't bother other people to entertain me, I try to entertain myself.

22. When I was young I wished I had supernatural powers and even bargained with God that if He granted me this super power I would save lives and fight crime even on weekends. Btw, I requested to be indestructible, with the ability to fly. ;-)

23. I have many hidden talents but they prefer to stay hidden.

24. I believe in karma. You always get what you deserve, maybe not now but it will come.

25. I never thought coming up with 25 random things is this tough! I know most of what I wrote sounds too much of a non-sense but please bear with me because that's all I can come up with (well, at least for now).
