#3 - tagged!

Once you've been tagged, you have to write eight facts/things/habits about yourself, say who tagged you, and at the end, you need to choose six people you want tagged and list their names. No tag backs.

1. I love animals. Everyone who knows me is aware of this fact. When I was younger I wanted to be a vet just so I could be near them all the time. I watch a lot of Animal Planet on TV, so I know a lot about animals more than the average man on the street. Like last Sunday, when we were in Loyola, Dad pointed out to me this bird – “Batu-bato” is what it was called. It had unusually shiny feathers. My younger brother said the bird was shiny because it was wet. My sister and I said no, bird feathers are waterproof! My brother said no, other feathers aren’t waterproof. I thought about it and said yes, the bottom part where the feather meets the skin of the bird isn’t waterproof because that part serves as their coat when it gets cold. They just looked at me and rolled their eyes. (Usual reaction when I get geeky about animals) They know I’m right. Haha. Geek-geek!

2. My hands, they have to keep moving. Typing on the keyboard, doing crochet, knitting, pulling out my hair from frustration (haha), sewing, writing, fiddling with my cellphone, making paper beads, doilies and other art-art… Basta! They have to keep moving!

3. I am makalat but I’m OC. My books, CDs are all alphabetically arranged by topic/ genres. I know where each one goes and when one’s missing. Basta. My room is makalat but OC.

4. I love horror movies and stories! Zombies, vampires, ghosts… Watching them on the big screen is better! Laya doesn’t like them scary movies though. So my horror movie fixation is satisfied within the comforts of my own room. By myself. Aaaah!!!

5. I am a child at heart. (And I will always be!!!) Take me to an amusement park. You’ll see!

6. I get "nose-talgic". I smell something familiar and memories when and where I first smelled that scent come back to me. Like how St. Ives’ Apricot Scrub would always remind me of my Harlequin days in LaSalle – after a performance we’d wash off our makeup with that one scrub we all shared. Malibu Musk (remember???) would always make me think of high school in St. Scho, after PE when we’d spray Malibu Musk all over like there was no tomorrow. Hay… Dami pa.

7. I’ve always had a sense of humor. I love to laugh. At myself, at people, stuff… so I could make light of difficult situations. There are times when I would wake up laughing. That’s always a good day.

8. I have the gift of timing. Laya pointed this out to me during one of our phone conversations. He observed that I’d always get the GREAT BOOKS on Booksale; the last pair of shoes (with the right size) on a shoe sale; and just recently, get an offer on a new job during my worst weeks at my present job… Thank you Lord!

And thanks Jing!
