25 random facts about me
was tagged in facebook. took some time to actually complete 25 things so i thought that i might as well post it here too... so here goes...
1. I'm a ketchup person. I love it so much that I put ketchup on almost everything I eat.
2. I have this weird allergy on preservatives and caffeine. Goodbye fast food, canned goods, hotdogs and starbucks' caramel macchiato.
3. Because of number 2, my favorite drink now is the Double Vanilla tea latte from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
4. I think I have selective OCD. I'm OC for some things but I totally don't care about others, say the neatness of my workstation or my room. I'm all for organized clutter.
5. I'm a frustrated musician. I listen to almost all types of music but I never learned how to play any musical instrument except for my Mplayer.
6. I'm a sucker for Asian entertainment. My current obsession is Japanese dramas and J-pop. In the past, I've been intrigued with Taiwan (because of Meteor Garden) and Korea (because of all these Korean dramas that I watched before)
7. The first ever concert that I watched was last November 1, 2008 at the Sun Dome in Fukui Japan. I liked it so much that I think that I’d just be watching Japanese-produced concerts from now on. The stage productions were awesome.
8. I hate the beach. Ironically, I live in an archipelago where all of the tourist/recreational destinations are beaches. Also, I can’t swim to save my life.
9. I want to believe I’ve matured (or just became boring, for the pessimistic ones). I now dislike the stuff that I used to like before, like getting passed out drunk and hanging out in crowded bars with loud, blaring music. I now prefer having cozy dinners/lunches and hanging out in coffee houses instead.
10. Consequently, my perfect weekend would include a bunch of DVDs, a DVD player, a TV and my bed.
11. I secretly dream of becoming a chef....
12. Or if I can’t be a chef, I want to be an iron chef judge. :)
13. I have very bad penmanship. It’s so bad that sometimes even I can't understand it.
14. I like tattoos and piercings. Just not on me, I prefer them on my guys. :)
15. I love downloaded stuff like videos and music etc, but imp the laziest downloader.
16. I really loved Japan. I'd like to live there in the future. I think that there are still too much for me to discover there.
17. My sisters tease me that I have seasonal friends. It’s not entirely true. It’s just that I have too many friends who belong to different circles and those circles don’t overlap that I find it difficult to keep in touch with them all the time.
18. I'm not a dog person. Sure they seem cute and cuddly at first but behind all that cuteness I am reminded of the fact that they have teeth and can bite and kill me.
19. I love traveling. Sometimes it may seem that I work to travel.
20. I have an affinity to foreign languages. In my life time, I want to learn at least one Asian Language (preferably Japanese) and one European Language (Either French or Spanish)
21. My current favorite dish is the Japanese Omurice. It has the 3 things that I like in a meal. Eggs, rice and ketchup!
22. I don’t wear a watch. I get this weird heavy feeling on my arm whenever I so. So conveniently use my cell phone clock to check the time.
23. Because of the heavy feeling I stated in 22, I also don’t wear bracelets, necklaces and even makeup. The only accessory that I wear is my earrings, my pretty elaborate earrings.
24. I'm a selectively friendly person. Sometimes I can be really friendly and chatty and sometimes I can be aloof and not care. It all depends on my mood and who you are. ;)
25. I found out that I am not as narcissistic as I thought as I found it too difficult to complete 25 random things about myself
