Randomness (Now 50)

I was tagged by maam sang.


Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with at least 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 think that I easily get bored, compared to most people. In fact, I am bored right now. And sometimes I don't know if it is just out of habit that I say I'm bored, when I'm actually not, or if I'm seriously bored. Bored.

2. I have been using the same cellphone number since high school, and it's the only one I've used ever since. Never lost a phone, never got any stolen - just got broken though.

3. I am a book hoarder. I buy a lot of books, even if I have some that I haven't read yet. I read multiple books at a time, since I can't sustain my interest in one story. I sleep with books beside me, and my bed is cluttered with books, among many other things. XP

4. I enjoy writing though I know I am not exceptional at it, that's why I have 4 online journals, and several notebooks, to which I randomly write on.

5. I love the rain so much. It's worst when I have to go to work when it's raining because I'd love to snuggle in my bed, and oversleep, or listen to good music, read a book, + hot choco = ♥♥♥♥

6. I love instant noodles.

7. I think I'm lactose intolerant cause.... so when I had to do my med exam, I drank milk just so I can produce a sample.

8. I seriously love yakult and yoghurt.

9. I listen to all sorts of music genre's but I cant stand the usual 'birit' OPM songs. Buut...I love Bituing Walang Ningning. =))

10. I love watching people.

11. Sometimes I act stupid just to know if you're the kind of person who'll treat me as stupid, or if you're the type who will treat people equally despite being stupid. I think smart people tend to treat other people smart.

12. I enjoy doing arts and crafty things. But I'm especially not great with drawing.

13. I want to go to Batanes, now na.

14. I've a fetish for pens. (but fetish will be too sick of a word!!!) I love pens. Sometimes, I intend to buy a pen, but I end up splurging on several. Eh bakit?

15. I prefer Cream O over Oreos.

16. My favorite flavors of ice cream are coffee crumble of selecta, tiramisu of hernz, and recently, dark chocolate of arce dairy. yummmmm

17. My sibs and my mom get annoyed by how long it takes for me to take a shower. I enjoy my shower hot that the mirror gets obscured by steam.

18. Nyyaaa, I cant think of any mooore!!!

19. I crop and sew my own jeans.

20. I know how to do html and a little bit of css.

21. I can do so many things at a time, be busy, and still find myself 'bored'.

22. I think I love hugs more than kisses.

23. If I wont get married, I hope I can adopt children who I would take care all of.

24. I havent eaten dinner yet and it's already past 11. My sister is already annoyed, cause were sharing on one pc cause the other one is busted. oh noes.

25. Im dying to finish this list already. Thank you, bow.



==================================================================

After wringing myself out of random things to write, here is another batch of other random things - which took me quite a while to write about.

 

1. I find it funny how my grade school and high school teachers try to make us restless students shut up. Quotes varying from "Silent water runs deep." to "Empty cans make noise." were their favorite lines. I find it amazing how students actually do shut up with it, as if it made them suddenly smarter.

2. I still remember how my mom cannot find Georgia on my Mind in the catalog of Magic Sing - which is quite impossible to be missing because it's an all time favorite. Turns out, she was looking for G-O-R-G-I-A.

3. I often get distracted when I hear the mass, especially if there are kids around. Sometimes priests talk in their uncanny accents that make their sermons incomprehensible. I often look around the church to check who really was listening - but instead, I see people persevering trying to put it on as a 'sacrifice'.

4.I ingested 2 spoonfuls of coffee before, just so I could stay up to finish a damned project. I was able to stay up for 3 days.

5. During vacations, I get really lax that I dont comb my hair after showers. After then, it gets really tangled that when I have to go out, I just tie it anyway.

6. I love cats more than dogs, partly because cats dont bark. As a kid, I often took home stray cats from school, and stuck them up inside my bag. I keep them as secrets from my mom, but once, I got caught easily since the cat was crying while I was in my mom's office. I also chased a cat when I was a kid and followed it to the roof - that I fell from it. Stupid kid, I know.

7. I love cats best when they are kittens and their heads are disproportionately big compared to their bodies. I have three all white cats right now: Namnam (Nimbus as my sister calls), who gave birth to three little all white kittens. One unfortunately got killed by Bardags (a generic name given to all ugly and humongous bastard cats). Two other kittens survived and I gave them cheesy names: Tofu and Yoghurt. ^____^ (cute right??)I wonder when I'll ever give them a bath.

8. Here's an unforgettable source of frustration. Once I asked our maid to buy me Shawarma because I was craving for it and was hungry from school. She had to buy it near Claret, which at the most was 5 minutes walk away from our house. I have been waiting for shy an hour already, when she finally came back without it. She said, "Cati, wala akong nabili. Di ko mahanap kung saan. Nagtanung na ako dun sa Clarit kung saan yung Sawarmax, di daw nila alam." FRUSTRATING.

9. I am an addict of Grey's Anatomy, to the extent that I download the latest eppies off the net. I think what makes it work for me are its OST's.

10. I want to see a hummingbird before I die. (Among my possibly long bucket list.)

11. I believe that everything can be learned. And if people are given time and endulged with resources, people can actually get good at it, given that they have passion.

12. I enjoy watching people doing cosplays though I cant see myself doing it - maybe when I'm thirty I'll be more adventurous.

13. My favorite blend of coffee would be double choco chip mint from Seattle's Best.

14. I always wanted to learn how to play a musical instrument and make my own songs. If I be given the luxury of time and resources - I will learn how to play the cello or piano.

15. I miss my brother.

16. I told my mom that in her next life, she should learn to choose a healthier man who wouldn't die early on. And by the way, both my dad and my brother are named Parmenio, nicknamed as Par. They are burried parallel to each other.

17. I know I'm ordinary and I'm like most other people. I don't dress conspicously or exuberantly, but if you know me, you would notice I'm different. And we all are different in a certain way.

18. The best cookies I've tasted are the ones baked by my uncle, Tito Alex. And so unfortunately, I only taste them once every two years only. Theyre really good - moist and not too sweet. (And if in case anyone would suspect, Im not sucking up 'kay. =P theyre just really good. Jeremy loves them too."

19. I once saw my pet fish dead, and I resucitated it. Hell yeah, freak. (I was a kid, consider exceptions please.)

20. My favorite kissing scene from a movie would be that from "Great Expectations" made by those kids. I love that movie, and I was planning to buy the classic by Dickens when I just found one in my cabinet. Wrapped, and not read yet. Told you I'm a book hoarder.

21. I love shopping for shoes more than clothes. Im so choosy that I have to see all botiques first, and even the department store, to check all choices. And sometimes, I still end up choosing nothing.

22. I believe in sparks and in chemistry in relationships. I think that it is instinctive and it is nature's way of bringing together compatible chromosomes. Half because I'm being sappy about it, and half because it's actually eugenics.

23. I pray a lot, but I do it spontaneously. I dont like repetitive prayers. I find more meaning when you do it in a voluntary manner, naturally.

24. I don't like it when people make fun of my surname, but I tolerate them just the same and pretend to snigger. But gee, I get it a lot about my name (Patacsil) and I'm actually expecting smarter and sensible jokes.

25. It took me two installments to write this. With background music going on. And wth, boys 2 men "on bended knees" acapella, is on.
