Oh dearie, we love ourselves too much. But since it's from Christina, I'm excited:

10 Random Facts About You (About me, Debbie. Of Course.)

1. I make up stories about people in my head. Like, the Hispanic lady who cut my hair last night was living from paycheck to paycheck because her former lover abandoned her and their lovechild. Or the Korean man I ride the bus with is a widower and is on the lookout for a new wife.

2. I yearn to change my look everyday. Like an everyday Madonna, constantly reinventing herself. But I'm too chicken. For instance, I was planning to dye my hair red or burgundy but at the last minute, I went to light golden brown. In my head, I'll be so decided that I'll make a drastic change but I end up not changing that much at all.

3. I realized that if there's any part of me that's really manly, it's my desire for solutions, which is why despite how tragic a situation is, instead of feeling sorry, I'm actually more irritated when the ones involved whine and avoid the real issue. It's so unproductive, a total waste of time and energy and quite cowardly.

4. When I'm upset, to me, pretty much everyone in the world is an idiot. Haha. Sorry. I don't get upset that much and I realized that not only are you not your best self when you're mad, you're also not your most honest self. I mean, sure, I think there are idiots out there but I don't really believe I've encountered one. In person.

5. My greatest pet peeve is repeating myself. Worse if the topic is completely insignificant from my end.

6. I really do banyo concerts, especially when I was in The Philippines. In between splashing my head with water from the tabo, while I'm scrubbing my scalp with shampoo, I'd belt out and try to imitate the voices of the artist. Now, I have progressed to bedroom and kitchen concerts.

7. I plan in my head different combinations for my clothes and accessories. I do this the week before or the month before. But everyday, I get up and just grab whatever it is that I can find. No one can really accuse me of not being able to plan. I just very rarely deliver.

8. I'd shoot myself before I read The Secret.

9. I think everything that's bad in our family's DNA has been passed on to me. I have the worst legs, worst skin, worst temperament, worst hair, worst eyes, worst body, worst metabolism, worst overall health. If not that, I must be one of life's guinea pigs. It's like the gods all went out with this clay and decided to test whether unruly hair, love handles and chicken legs go together.

10. I am pleasantly surprised that in some cases, I think of a certain belief and discover that a famous thinker has thought of the same thing as well. Take for instance this note from Frank Lloyd Wright on Mamah Cheney: she placed womanhood above all. Something to that effect. Before I read that, I already posted in my other blog this order: woman, lover, mother, etc.

Hehe. Wala lang. Masaya lang.O siya. Yun na yun.:)

Dahil matagal-tagal ka na hindi nagpaparamdam dine, at kinailangan ko pang i-stalk ang Multiply mo, at wala akong Multiply, dine nalang kita babatiin ng maligayang kaarawan. Belated pala. June din ako. At kaka-24 ko lang din. Mabuhay! Cheers to the pagewang-gewang life! All the best Deb!
