I've done this already on Facebook.

But i'm going to do it again.

'25 truths about me'.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.


1. One of my greatest fears is growing old without having actually experienced anything. Don't even ask me to define what 'experiencing something' actually is.

2. I desperately want to learn a second, third.. hell, tenth language.

3. I love learning about culture. I find anthropology interesting, enrapturing and inspiring, although I didn't when I first began it as a subject. I wonder if everyone else is like this.

4. I have no idea what I'm going to be going after I finish uni. Some would call that an opportunity. I call that 'terrifying'.

5. I really love shopping, especially for clothes and books. I enjoy wearing new personas and seeing myself through a different lens with different pieces of clothing I try on. I can imagine myself to be someone else, or choose an identity with every different piece of clothing or accessory. I believe that's a huge attraction for shopping for clothes/etc. for many people.

6. I love photography and taking macro shots and videos. I like re-watching old videos I took of family, friends and of Mike later on - it's the most real way of keeping the past. I secretly wish others would take more pictures and videos of me, so I can remember what I used to be like when I'm older. I don't like the idea of taking videos of myself and I hate the sound of my own voice.

7. I've always been extroverted and loud spoken. Teachers would always write that I never stopped talking in class on my school reports, even in kindy. Lol.

8. I love baking, but I don't like washing up =P

9. I am obsessed with organising and planning things although when others are involved I find it difficult to make decisions or to choose because I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision for others, although I am fine by myself.

10. I would love nothing more than to be a ninja on Naruto.

11. I like to think that I can make good use of my time when I can. But I waste a great deal of it. I procrastinate a LOT during uni semester because I'm afraid of failing (even though this is fragmented logic).

12. I wish I could be smarter.

13. I'm allergic to polyester. So many things come in polyester. It sucks.

14. I reaaaally want a pair of ear-muffs, a woollen cap, mittens, fisherman pants and a cat-ear headband.

15. I love body combat. And get withdrawal symptoms when I miss a class.

16. I have a weird relationship with food.

17. My mood changes drastically depending on the level of stress I'm under.

18. I don't think I look Filipino at all.

19. How I was even born at all seems like a sheer miracle in retrospect.

20. I think I'm a pretty terrible writer. I wish I could write well, but can't bring it upon myself to string together words in a pleasing manner. In some ways I prefer writing essays to fiction since they're of a more analytical point of view, but I still think they sound awful.

21. Parts of me miss piano but I also realise that I was never really passionate about it, and I very rarely got to enjoy the perks of impressing other people; I was terrified of playing in public and used to panic and have a massive meltdown. However, I am proud of the fact that I manage to score two 'A' marks for my 5th grade of AMEB, and one was from a particularly narky adjudicator.

22. I really dislike 'teen' movies like Twilight. High School Musical. Hannah Montana and I can't really pinpoint *why* exactly. Maybe its the crotchety old grandfather in me, waving a canestick who shouts 'in my day, we didn't need crappy teen movies!' I remember watching 'not another teen movie' when I was younger, but it wasn't really anything like HSM or Hannah Montana..

23. I have long opinions on the following;
FGC.
Why I am not a fan of Twilight.
Advertising directed at children.
(most) Disney movies.
Abortion.
Human Rights.
and other stuff I can't recall right this second.

24. I have an intense sweet tooth and love things like cheesecake, brownies, fudge and pavlova, cookies & chai lattes. I wish I could be healthier and fear getting type 2 diabetes.

25. I don't drink, or smoke. I've only ever tried either less than the fingers on my hand.

I could probably keep going. But it's bed time. Till next time, suckas!
