I Got Tagged!
It’s 1:45 am here and the festivities has just ended (our place is celebrating the feast of the Sto. Niño). I decided to check the net for a while before I pass out and discovered a pleasant surprise: my first ever lj meme tag! So, I have to answer this first!
Tagged by dvampyrlestat
a. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
b. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
1. Where did your LJ handle come from?
mylemonlime? It’s a line from the song “Slo Mo” by the Eraserheads, arguably the most popular rock band in our country and one of my all-time fave artists. The name was… kinda randomly chosen since my first blog’s title also referenced Eheads and I wanted to do that again.
2. How do you style your hair?
Just combed. It’s still quite short to be put into a pony.
3. What is making you happy right now?
I saw an old crush today and he’s still as cute as ever! The funny thing was, my sis-in-law whispered to me: “Bongie (my brother) told me he was your ex? He’s good-looking!” And I was, like, “Nooooo! But I wish he was! He courted me when I was far too young. I wish he asked me out again when I turned 18!” Yep, I’m totally shallow; old crushes make me happy.
And another not too shallow reason - I’m on vacation leave! No work! Yes!
4. What are you currently reading?
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It's one of the books I got as a Christmas gift last year and I do hope I can finish it this week. That would make it the first book I read for this year. *sigh*
5. Do you need music to study/write?
When I was in high school I used to listen to a radio station that plays rock and heavy metal because the loud music does not distract me as much as pop or easy listening music. I ended up liking rock a lot that I no longer listen to any music when studying so I can concentrate.
6. What is the last song on your play list?
4 a.m. - Our Lady Peace
7. What was your first car?
Honda City, but I don’t drive it that often. The parking fees are darn expensive in the business district! Plus, I’m just too lazy to drive.
8. Do you have a crush at the moment?
LOTS!
9. What is your favorite movie genre?
Crime thrillers, neo-noirs, war movies, legal dramas, action movies.
10. What was the last thing you ate today?
Man, I ate a lot today because of the town fiesta. The last I ate was the fruit salad I had for desserts.
11. What is your favorite color?
Blue. Purple sometimes.
12. What websites do you visit daily?
Yahoo, Gmail, Blogspot, LJ, Inquirer’s website, Jessica Zafra’s blog, Mugglenet
13. What's your favorite food?
Does junk foods count? If not, then pasta.
14. Which languages do you wish you spoke?
French and Nihonggo.
15. What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people makes other people feel stupid just so they can feel better about themselves.
16. Complete the sentence on your future headstone: "Here lies...."
- Jela, who wants to be succinct but couldn’t quite pull it off and rambles herself away (or something just as long or maybe more, just to emphasize how long-winded she was in life and in death)
17. Who was your childhood idol?
This is crazy, but the first thing that popped to my head was Yellow Four and Pink Five from Bioman! I think every child wants to be like the superheroes they’ve watched on TV.
18. Where would you like your next holiday to be?
London or Tokyo - my two dream cities which are unfortunately, the two most expensive cities to live in. More realistic - I want to go back to Baguio or have my first trip to Batanes.
19. What do you do to fall asleep?
I used to read books to help me fall asleep. Lately insomnia’s bugging me that I try not to do anything just to fall asleep!
20. Tell me something you love about the person who tagged you.
She’s friendly and she writes well, and her commitment and devotion to her fandoms (Arashi especially) is so awesome!
I'm sorry, I don't have enough on my flist so I can't tag anyone. :( But those who want to, feel free to do so! :D
