30 Random Facts About Me
It’s been a month since the last post so I’m back. I know that no one would ever care to read about random things having to do with me but I did it anyway. Enjoy. :)
1. I designed my prom dress in my junior year in high school. It was a black cocktail dress with silver crystals detailing on the chest area. I wonder where it might have been right now. How I wish I kept it as a remembrance.
2. I don’t like anything with mint. Somehow it feels like you put toothpaste on anything with it.
3. I love cheese. A lot. Cheesecake. On chips. Anything with it. Yes, please.
4. I’m not into games. Not that I don’t like it but I guess I’d rather read a book than spend my time playing. I remember when I was young, I have Dress Up on my laptop and that’s it. I don’t know if you’ll consider it as like a “real” game. I bet no.
5. I love spicy foods. So much. Like extreme. Wait, who doesn’t?
6. I get cold easily. No matter what the temperature is, I have to sleep with a comforter/thick blanket. My friends always tease me because even though I’m not skinny at all, the stored fats that are supposed to help me get warm isn’t working at all. Too bad.
7. I'm easily entertained. You can make me laugh so easily. And I’m an absolute crybaby, you would probably think I’m a little bit crazy.
8. I’m obsessed with fish sauce ( Patis). Everyone that knows me knew how addicted I am to it. Like I literally have it every single meal. Insane. And unhealthy. Whatever. Haha.
9. I’m not really a fan of coconut. I’m aware how healthy it is but I just don’t like it particularly when you mix it with foods.
10. I’m addicted to Instagram. More than any social media. Maybe because it is more personal and private compared to others. It is like a photo diary with fewer complications and drama than facebook.
11. I have fear of airports. My anxiety level if I have flights to catch are always incredibly high. I have once missed a flight so that serves as a painful lesson and left me with a little bit of trauma on the side. One of the worst situation I’ve ever been.
12. I’m an Overseas Filipino Worker since I was 21. I started early so I can help my family financially. So I’ve been away from home for the past nine years, absent on a lot of special occasions but that’s what you do for your loved ones.
13. I’m a green tea ( with lemon and ginseng) addict. I usually drink 4-5 mugs daily.
14. I recently enjoy biking. I used to have bike back home and just roam around our village. It was different here in Calgary though. Better in a lot of ways. care to join me?
15. My bike’s name is Rusty. Yup, it has a name ladies and gents. It’s an old bike from my Kuya which is also from his friend which apparently isn’t the original owner as well. How confusing I know.
16. You will always see me with a book. It calms me more than anything. It brings me to another world. It’s magical, can’t even explain how. Give me a good book and you won’t see me for hours.
17. I’m starting to like make-ups. Ever since I started working abroad, I was exposed to make-ups and slowly started to put some bits and pieces. I’m not an expert but I really do want to learn it so badly. Youtube helps a lot btw.
18. I love Grey’s Anatomy. More than any series out there in the history of the world. I’ve seen every single episode. I can literally spend a day-off just watching it and I can name all the characters. :)
19. I’m a worrier. I know this is not something that someone should be proud of but I’m born like that. I overthink most of the time.What can I say? It’s a character flaw but I’m working on it.
20. I’m a recycling police. Since I’m staying at home most of the time, I really do make sure that all waste are properly segregated. I think it’s amazing how many little things we can do that can make a real difference.
21. I love mugs/cups. People who know me give it as a gift because they know for sure that I’ll like it. Probably because I’m obsessed with coffee and green tea.
22. I draw. Sometimes. Nothing like the extraordinary talent but yeah somehow I can. No high expectation, please. Haha.
23. I’m a registered nurse in the Philippines. Worked in a public hospital there for two years then 5 years at Saudi Arabia.
24. I have diaries ever since high school. I kept it in a box and every time I go on vacation I still read it. It’s funny because somehow I can laugh when I realized how silly I was with all those petty writings. Up to now, I have like six journals.
25. I cook most of the time so I barely ever go out to eat, unlike other (cool) people. Unless on special occasions. I really enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I also like to make dishes either of something I have had at somewhere or from the internet.
26. On music, I guess I like almost anything and everything except Heavy Metal. Recently I was exposed to Country Music here so I’m starting to like it too. Faves are Pink, Beyonce, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Chloe Kohanski ( The VOice), Bruno Mars and the list goes on.
27. I’m a tequila kind of girl. Wine is great but I will still choose Tequila.
28. I've watched Netflix more than I care to admit. Most of the time, I’m torn between watching Netflix and living my life. Haha.
29. I’m a list maker. The journals that I was telling you on #24 consist of so many lists of everything that I wanted/needed to do.
30. I was naked when I was born. Kiddin. Uhm, Without my glasses, everything is blurry. One thing I literally can’t live without.
