10 Things You Could Say to 10 Different People Right Now.
1. It's OK to let me go. I can stand up on my own now, thanks to your guidance. But it's time to let me fly.
2. Thank you.
3. I guess I don't have a baby anymore, do I?
4. I love you.
5. Take that, Bembridge scholars!
6. I hope I passed your expectations of me.
7. You don't know anything yet about pain and loss, dearest. And I'm sorry that you'll have to learn this way.
8. I am so proud of what you have accomplished.
9. Hang in there, little one. I promise the best is still to come.
10. Please don't give up on me.
9 Things People May Not Know About You.
1. If science didn't win my heart first, I wanted to become an actress.
2. I love playing the "where else have you seen this actor" game whenever I watch movies. Good thing my husband likes to play along (bless his heart).
3. I never thought I had a strong personality, especially growing up. But childhood friends of mine have confirmed they always thought I did. What do you think?
4. I believe that scientific discoveries only prove that there is a God. And science is my way of praising my God by studying his wondrous works.
5. I'm always the first one to try something new, but I am also scared of change.
6. I love driving. It helps me clear my head. And it's the only time I am truly alone, so the introvert in me recharges that way.
7. I always wanted wavy (not uber curly) hair. Never achieved it, but always wanted it.
8. I always thought I'd grow up to be an old maid (no husband, no kids). That's why I never played "wedding" as a child, planned for a future wedding, or have any ideas of what I wanted for a wedding growing up.
9. I never get hit on by straight caucasian men (except my husband :-)) but have been hit on by African-American men, lesbians, and twinkies. What gives?

6 Things You Do Before You Fall Asleep.

5 Things You Notice in a Person of the Opposite / Same Sex.
1. Height (I like men to be taller than me, coz when I grew up in the Philippines; I was taller than most men. Good thing my hubby is tall, even if he slouches a lot).

3. Lips (I love them thick and pillow-like, even if my own lips are straight, thin, and boring as hell)
4. Hands (I love long slender fingers and short clean fingernails)
5. Voice (I love it when a man sounds like a man, not a boy)

2. Turn down the chance to go to Hong Kong for a stupid science club meeting
3. Not go visit a close college friend because my parents thought it was too long of a drive for my lonesome self (it was just 4 hours, people).
