25 Random Nonsense About Me!

I'm not trying to sound self-absorbed but because a lot of people have tagged me for this, I figured I should give it a shot. If you can't beat them, join 'em right? However, I choose to post it in my blog rather than on facebook. :)

25. I now like facebook better than friendster. There are too many strangers in the latter, I'm hoping to limit my facebook contacts to people I actually know. (hoping!)

24. I love thrift shopping. During my wedding preparation days, whenever I felt stressed out, I'd run to the ukayukay to de-stress. I miss thrift shopping now that I'm pregnant. I have a lot of catching up to do on that and I can't wait.

23. I can't sleep comfortably without a blanket. I like wrapping myself up. Even when it's not cold.

22. I get touched very easily. I actually cry during touching movie scenes, sometimes even the not-so-touching ones. Once in college, I was sobbing really loudly in the cinema that my roommate (Kathy) threatened to leave me there alone because she said she was so embarrassed and people were starting to stare at us. It also happens when I read touching stories.

21. I love the beach, but I can't swim. I wish I can though. A lot of people have offered to teach me and I don't know why I always end up declining.

20. Sometimes when I get obsessed with a certain kind of food, I can eat it everyday until I get really tired of it and I never want to see it again.

19. I'm a shopaholic, that's why I was hoping to marry someone kuripot to keep the balance. :) Art is a very indulgent husband, so sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing or not.

18. I'm a very impatient person. I hate waiting. For anything, for anyone, for whatever! So 9 months of being fat and pregnant is pure a-g-o-n-y.

17. ...But if I do get pregnant again within the year, why not? hahaha! Next project: Baby Girl!

16. I trust people very easily, and I've come to realize the hard way that I shouldn't. So, now I'm learning to not be too trusting (although sometimes I still forget).

15. I want to get into photography. Been wanting to for more than a year now. All I need is the "eye" and a DSLR. At the moment, I don't have both.

14. I absolutely hate people who lie. It's my pet peeve and I think it's the worst thing anybody can do to me.

13. Because both Art and I come from a small family (he's an only child), we want to have as much kids as we can. At least four would be good, and more than that would be better!

12. It's such a huge pain to wake me up. I feel sorry for the people who have [and had] to go through it. My parents, roommates, husband, and my brother can attest to that.

11. I cannot imagine my life without internet! I actually feel like I'm cut-off from the world when the connection is down. Yes, I'm cyberholic. I think I spend over 8 hours a day online. Or is it more?

10. I love to eat! and it's not just now that I'm pregnant. I like to research about new restaurants and read reviews on the food. I make sure that every time I go to Manila for my R&R I try something new.

9. I always always always miss Kaden when I'm not with him. I can only imagine how it would be when I will have two sons to go home to. However, I believe I need my monthly or bi-monthly trips to Manila to keep me sane. I don't want to be an irritated mother who snaps at her kids, or be present but emotionally absent.

8. I can't cook. But now that I'm a wifey and a momma, I'm starting to be interested in taking short culinary courses. After I take photography lessons, maybe?

7. I have ophidiophobia, which is the fear of snakes. You might think, who isn't scared of snakes? Well, I am really really really terrified of them, like you cannot imagine.

6. I gave birth to my first baby in Vallejo, CA by natural means. [read: no anesthesia at all] I didn't know that you had to ask for an epidural early on so they could give it to you before you dilate to 7cm. I felt unbearable pain at 9cm and begged them for it, by then they said it was too late. I honestly thought giving patients in labor epidural was a given, like in hospitals here. Imagine the pain I went through!

5. I'm now only a few weeks short of graduating from nursing, yet I still cannot see myself being a nurse.

4. Shopping is therapeutic for me, and yes, I'd like to believe it is a sport [my only sport]. ;) I know I should be embarrassed to admit that in the midst of a recession, retail therapy is one of the things that fuels me.

3. I forgive very very easily, but because I'm human, sometimes it takes a while to forget.

2. I love surprises. Too bad my husband is terrible at surprises. He keeps trying though and I love him more for it. ;)

1. I'm currently making a list of the places I want to see before I die, but I'm waiting for Art to arrive so we can finish it together. After all, I don't wanna travel to those places without him by my side. :)

I don't have anyone to tag. But if you want me to read your 25 things in your blog, leave me a message.
