THE RULES

-Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.

-Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.

-At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.

-Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I am emotional and sensitive. I get pikon easily, but over the years I have tried so hard to be a sport and lighten up. Things are getting worse nowadays when I take hormones (for my hormonal imbalance). I get irritated easily. I am guilty of being sensitive to things that I know are just jokes. When this happens, I become more polite with that person so that I am careful not to blurt out anything offensive that I might regret when I am back to "normal". I am such a crybaby too...with everything. Books I already read millions of times, movies I already watched, commercials with babies, watching concerts etc. It is frustrating sometimes.

2. I want to have a baby. I don't think this is a secret to my close friends, but I hate it when people ask me why I don't have a baby yet and why I don't want to. This is so absurd! Sometimes I wish people would be more sensitive about baby talk. For those who are not aware, I had a miscarriage last year, and it took me almost a year to get over the depression. For the record, I am taking medication and I am planning a vacation with my husband hoping to have another baby. Yes, I do want one and I do want to start a family. No, I will not quit my job for that unless my OB strictly demands that I do. I happen to like my job, thank you very much.

3. I am Ms. Congeniality but bitchy at heart. Don't mess with the biyatch. I love my friends dearly, and I cannot imagine what would have happened to me if i didn't have the friends I have now. They have helped me in so many aspects in my life. But, the bad side about being too friendly is being taken advantage of. I hate it when people assume that it is ok to do things just because we are friends. I believe that you should treat other people in the same way you want to be treated. The Golden Rule is the best. I am the worst enemy ever. I still remember those people who have ill treated me in elementary, high school, college, etc. I do not forgive and forget easily.

4. I love my parents but do not say it out loud. I did not grow up in a family who verbally say "I love you" to each other, and now that I am married, I sometimes wish that was not the case. I say it in cards, letters, etc but never out loud in front of them. My parents have made so many sacrifices for me, and I am sorry I hurt them. I now understand why they did the things they did, why they said those hurtful things...I hope one day I can say to my parents that I love them and thank them for teaching all the things I know now and for making me the person I am.

5. I wish I could paint. I have always loved art. When I took up a course in college called "Art Appreciation", I was immediately hooked. I loved the paintings and the stories behind them. I used to draw everyday. I only had one goal in mind: to be able to draw/paint the most realistic female face. A woman's face has so many stories. It shows her passion, her struggles, her pain, her experiences...I have yet to achieve this. I keep thinking year by year that I'll go to an art class but haven't done anything yet.

6. I miss dancing. I have been dancing ever since I can remember. In school, I was always in dance stuff when there are events. I took up classical ballet when I was around 8 or 9. I did that for around 3 years. Ballet was difficult, but I enjoyed it because it made me look graceful and I felt beautiful when I dance. Just like painting, I plan of joining dance workshops but never seem to find the time or get the courage to do so.

7. I do not know how to swim, ride a bike or drive. Those are the reasons why nobody would want me to be their partner in Amazing Race. I think I know how to swim, but it's just that I panic when I'm in the water. I am terrified of water, which is really weird since I am a Cancer. I don't know how to ride a bike because when I was young, my mom did not want me to have scratches on my legs and fall into a deep hole in the ground near our house. Driving...well, I plan to take up driving lessons coz my mom always gets sick, and I'll need to drive her around soon.

8. I am kuripot. I'm terrified of not having enough money in case there's an emergency. I do spend more now that I am working, but I don't always go shopping. I don't mind buying cheap clothes. I grew up in a middle class family but was not taught to be brand conscious when it comes to clothes, shoes, etc. My parents are both from humble backgrounds and I am proud of that. I try to find the cheap ones which is bad sometimes because I sacrifice the quality of the product. I am addicted to bags and shoes. Books make me weak too.

9. I dream of traveling around the world, starting off with a European tour. I so envy my dad who went to London , Amsterdam and Scotland for work. He even texted me saying he spent 2 hours in the Edinburgh castle and I am SO jealous. I would love to see the castles, the museums (Louvre here I come!), the works! I want to go to Greece , Italy , France , UK , Hungary , Spain ...Sigh. I'd also like to go to Egypt , Brazil , the Bahamas , the Middle East, Australia , and even to the North and South Pole!

10. I don't care about what others think of me as long as I am right, not hurting anyone and I am honest. I am brutally frank at times. I share my experiences. I give advices to people even when they don't ask for it. i genuinely care for people. I have always wanted to do charity work but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. I try to do my share of helping by donating as much as I can when my company asks for donations for people who were left homeless by calamities. I remember I donated three bags of food and stuff to Sykes Cares for the victims of the landslides (I forgot where that was).

Now, the ten people I am spreading the homework with:

Joyce, Faye, Kate, Jane, Eva, Milmar, Sugar, Rachelle, Josie, Angelica
