60 Mike and Ikes ng Hari ng Metal

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's January 1st and there's absolutely nothing to do. My parents just finished setting up our new tv and home theater (which is awesome if only they'd stop playing James Bond, who I personally condemn because that asshole hits women in his films). Bored. There is actually a lot I can do, it's just that I dont want to. So...I'mma right me a blog so my parents will think I'm doing homework or something. 

Okay, so by now you've probably noticed that I'm as narcissistic as they come, so..... I'll list down random things ABOUT ME that most people don't know. mwahahahaha.

1. I'm allergic to dark chocolate. To be honest, I feel sort of hurt when interested suitors (from way way back) gave me dark chocolates, I feel like you never even bothered to find out the first thing about me. It's an instant NO card for you. I eat white chocolate, btw.

2. I love musicals. One of the sweetest thing a guy/friend can do for me is to sing me a song from any musical I like when I'm upset or when he/she just feels like it. And it'd be awesome if for my birthday my friends would give a tiny musical number. That would be oh so sweet indeed.

3. I have a tattoo. Well, TECHNICALLY, I do but it's not what most people expect. A year back, I was refilling my 1.0 technical pen and I accidentally skewered my left index finger. It bled a lot, oddly enough, so I sucked as much ink as I could but I just couldn't get all of it out. So now, I have a small dot tattoo. It's awesome to be honest, it's always a great conversation starter. 

4. I have a weird talent with my digits (they're what most people incorrectly call "toes"). The length of my feet is inversely proportional to its width. Imagine duck feet, and there you go. Well my weird talent is that I can curl my digits but keep the last two uncurled on both feet. Most people get grossed out. Hope you are too ;) 

5. I don't eat beef. No judgment! I just hate everything about it - its smell and texture in particular. But I don't mind eating beef that doesn't look, feel or taste like beef (McDonald's cheeseburger YUM!).

6. I don't like Jollibee. Deal with it.

7. Malapit na akong makulong! hahaha, secret kung bakit! And nakapag-report na ako ng child abduction before. Oh and nasampal na rin ako ng tatay ko. wohooo!

8. I've been writing since my elementary years but I've never shown my mother the things I've written. I love writing editorials, but my parents just can't accept that their daughter has strong points of view and she's not going to settle for a safer side just because it's what everybody's used to.

9. I like to sing (and my best friend says I'm sort of good), I just don't have the confidence for it. When I was in 3rd grade, my adviser asked me to sing in our general assembly but my mother said I shouldn't because I have a terrible voice. Those hurtful words haunt me still.

10. I love Glee. I like it because, it's smooth and shiny siya...lol no, kidding. I love it because it's something I can relate to. I know what it feels like to be an outcast, to not have a voice because everybody else makes the rules and if you don't go by it, people laugh at you and think you're weird. And I love musicals. So there.

11. I hate my high school days. Its sad that I feel this way but what can we do, c'est la vie. I never want to remember anything from high school mainly because I'm so ashamed of the person I was then. I was dead - well the real me, at least. I never got to be me because one petty mistake gets you so many enemies. It was absolutely EXHAUSTING. Blah.

12. I love my college days (in Diliman ONLY). I'm sorry but LB was hell for me. I've met so many shallow and judgmental people there. I was so pissed at everyone who made such a big deal out my wardrobe. The line I kept repeating at the time was, "No one told me UPLB was a trashcan, if I had known, I would've worked harder to look like garbage". If I considered you a friend there, no worries, I love you with all my heart. But if you were one of the assholes who ridiculed me because of how I looked then Fuck You.

13. I was an engineering student before. And I guess that's why they made such a big deal about what I wore, as if looking like you haven't bathed in days made you smarter, "hindi ka mukhang eng'g. mukhang pang arts ka nga etc". Pero ito lang masasabi ko sa mga nanlait behind my back and judged me and were so hurtful towards me.... at least ako, I CHOSE TO LEAVE, I fought with a panel just so they'd permit me to shift, but my grades were something I can be proud of and now I'm in a course I love. Eh kayo, PILIT KAYONG PINAPAALIS. And don't give me that "di kasi ako nag-aaral kaya ganon" crap dahil pare-pareho lang tayong TAMAD, di ko na kasalanan if you just. can't. pass.

14. I'm a bitch. I can be a real asshole. But when I fall inlove, I fall hard and love like there's no tomorrow. So if I fall out of it, it's because you hurt me big time. 

15. I've never had a fling. And I've never played around with anyone's feelings. Shame really, it would've made an awesome memory if I had.

16. I love to eat. Feed meeeeeeeeeeee. Diets don't work on me because I can't stand not having yummy food in my mouth.

17. I'm a huge crybaby. It's not because I'm weak (well at least I hope it's not). I have anger management issues, and I hate it when I hurt the people I care about because of my sudden bursts of rage. So when I'm in rage and I think I'm about to punch someone in the face or scratch their eyes out, I cry. It's the only way I know how to control myself. I'd rather make myself look like a fool than to do it to someone else.

18. I love formspring. I love answering random questions. It's so much fun! The more daring the question, the better! Oh and btw, it's: http://www.formspring.me/riettlesnake :D

19. I'm not comfortable around straight men. I have a sort of "fear" of men. I can't stand sitting next to one or to be alone in a room with them. I don't really want to explain why. I just don't like being around incredibly straight men (i.e., basketball loving, fashion impaired, etiquette illiterate, kanto boy lasinggero kind). That's why most of my guy friends are either gay or those who are in tuned with their feminine side. 

20. I don't think I'm pretty in other people's eyes. I know I'm narcissistic but this is true. I love how I look because it's what God gave me but I'm not blind to the fact that most people find me plain and ordinary looking.

21. I was bullied a lot in my elementary years. Yes, 'tis true! I was a FAT FAT girl at the time and boys my age just found it hilarious. I remember little kids pointing at me and laughing and calling me really hurtful names. I remember one boy even tried to punch me in the face because he didn't like how I looked. I used to lock myself in my room and cry all afternoon.

22. I once tried to kill myself. And before you judge me, it wasn't because of a guy or any petty reason like that, it was because I felt like I was at my lowest. It was when I was in UPLB. I swear to God, that place made me feel so alone and dead that I just didn't see the point in waking up anymore. Thank God He gave me UP Diliman. The only place where my spirit soars.

23. I like Charice Pempengco and I hate Sarah Geronimo. Deal with it. 

24. I have great faith in God. lol. I know I don't look the part, but I am quite a sucker for Jesus. I just don't approve of ridiculous sexist rules in the Church. Like how, it's okay when a man does it but it's not okay when a woman does it. Or how it's not okay to be gay, like it's some sort of disease. I won't go into it but you get my drift. When I'm feeling down, confused or I just need to cry, I secretly go to church (Parish of the Holy Sacrifice in Diliman) and just stare into space and pray. Cheesy, huh?

25. I like hearing mass because it's the only place where I can sing songs that fit my voice. If I don't know the songs or if I don't like 'em, my mind usually drifts off. nyahahahaha.

26. I like making offensive, racist, religious, green and blind jokes. Why? Because they're fun!

27. I luuuuurve to cuss. A lot. 

28. I like staring at a gorgeous guy's ass.

29. You can bitch me around all you want, but if you hurt any of my friends or family, I'll fucking murder you.

30. I'm quite perverted. I don't know why. I'm just not ashamed to tell you your penis is sort of showing in your pants. If I had a gorgeous body, I don't think I'd have a problem flashing someone I liked. I don't think that makes me a whore. I guess may binabagayan din ang pagiging manyakis. Ohh the things I say and the things I'm willing to do (if I was hot,but I'm not so I haven't really done much lol).

31. I never back out of a dare. I will, however, shake in fear if you want to know the truth.

32. Jologs ang lola mo.

33. Super poor lang kami (I'm not exaggerating). I'm just thankful na hindi halata. nyahahahaha.

34. May nunal ako sa gitna ng nape ko. Hot, right? lol

35. I'm a sucker for musicians. Si Paolo Santos nga, crush ko noon. Oh ha.

36. Umiyak ako ng bonggang bongga nung namatay si Rico Yan. And until now, I still have a huge poster of him wearing a construction worker sex outfit in my closet. 

37. I'm kinky. mwahahahaha.

38. When I have a crush on someone, I hide behind a door and take quick glances of him. I know most people think I'm the go get him kind of girl, since I have no problem asking a guy for his number (don't flatter yourselves, if I was interested in you, I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED) but I'm not. If I can talk to you in a casual way, I don't have the hots for you, it's that simple. If I can't even open my mouth or look you in the eyes, then I'm probably crazy about you or I'm having a heart attack, I hope for the latter, you have the decency to call a medic. If the guy I liked comes near me, my knees shake and I can't breathe. Ohhhh Papa John Lloyd and Coco Martin, mamamatay ako when I see you in person.

39. I tried eating my ear wax a few years back (take note: NOT when I was a naive little kid. I was already an adult), but decided I wouldn't try it again considering it tasted like raw Ampalaya.

40. I like smelling my feet. Not when I just washed it. I like smelling it after it's been in my shoes for a whole day. *mmmmmmm*....

41. Seeing a guy with strong looking, hairless arms wearing a 3/4 sleeve is simply EYEGASMIC. Gimme some of that, will you??

42. I used to play the piano but I stopped since we didn't have one at home and we had to go to another house to take lessons. I learned to play the guitar when I was in elementary and I played a few times in Musikahan '04 but that was it. I realized I can basically play any instrument as long as you give me the basics. I'm not saying I'm musically gifted (I'M NOT!), I just don't find learning an instrument hard. I also used to play the flute and harmonica and in the 3rd grade, I used to play in a Rondalla. 

43. I HATE joining beauty pageants. I don't think it's shallow or anything, I just feel so insecure when I'm on stage. Thankfully, I haven't lost one yet. Ho ho, humility, eh? No I think it's mostly the Q&A that saves my sorry ass. I can't model for shit. I make this really deranged look when I'm nervous on stage. But I'm very comfortable answering cliched questions.

44. I love speaking in a large crowd. I love joining all sorts of public speaking competitions. In high school, I competed in Cebu. I feel so empowered when I'm given the opportunity to command a large crowd. I was even once disqualified from a competition for being overqualified. LOL. You see, humility isn't really one of my strong points ^__^

45. I was an officer in our ROTC in college. I fired an M-16, assembled and disassembled an M-16 and M-14. I also competed in our rifle exhibition competition (the one where you twirl around your rifles and toss 'em in the air) and thankfully, we won.

46. I love acting. One of my dreams is to audition for a play or be in an independent film. Ever since I could remember, I love to act. I just wish I'd be given the chance to try it out someday. Like a real acting role, not just a vegetated murdered wife.

47. Super malambing ako. That's because hindi malambing ang family ko so ayun. :) And I'm also into PDA. mwahahaha.

48. I love watching old Filipino movies. I even memorized all the set locations. I also love old songs, even way back in the '50s. I love classic rock and heavy metal. But I also love gay pop (hey we were all kids once). I can't seem to like contemporary opm rock, or kpop. And I detest whiny emo songs (ungrateful little rich brats). 

49. I love French. I love speaking French. Makes sense that I also love making french toast. nyahahaha,

50. I love dressing up! I don't care what people will think of me, it's just something that I absolutely LOVE! And the crazier, the better! I've already worn a kimono and a saree to school. weeeee!

51. I have two sets of parents. One is my biological and other is my non-biological. I both call them mama and papa. When I was still a baby, my mother underwent a surgery so I had to stay with my aunt. One thing led to another and I eventually became their adopted daughter. I guess this added to some drama in my life when I was a kid. I was so jealous of kids who had their parents come up on stage to hang their medals, I sort of got depressed so from a gold medalist, I turned into a silver medalist. I just didn't see the point in studying anymore. I had to deal with all of this until I turned 13. That's when I finally accepted my fate. And it's true, you don't need to be with your biological family to have a family. So stop whining that only your real mother or real father will complete you. It's up to you to complete your family.

52. I read the Twilight series. But don't flatter yourself Stephenie Meyer, I didn't read it because it had depth, I read it because I was studying too hard one night and I needed some easy reading with cliched plots and conflicts. A sort of, Reading for Dummies so to speak. Touche indeed.

53. I am very fascinated in period arts and architecture. In relics, in history. In things that hold endless stories that carry on for generations to come. I am, in fact, fascinated with romance. ooh la la.

54. Drawing and designing was, is, and will perpetually be one of my greatest loves. Don't be fooled, I'm not exemplary, it's just something that I feel very passionate about. Second is writing.

55. I used to sell my drawings when I was in the 5th grade. 

56. I opened up a small restaurant in my bedroom when I was a little girl. And I used to host small sock-puppet plays every night.

57. My family thinks my hair looks terrible.

58. I was never in love with my first boyfriend. Sorry, dude. 

59. I don't like kids, but most people say I'm good with them. Okay so I only hate snotty kids who are ugly as fuck. I love the cute ones. mwahahaha. Oh and I love cats and dogs. Whut? yep.

60. Michael Jackson is my one great Hero. When things were unbearable when I was a kid, his songs made all my problems go away. He will forever be immortalized in my heart.

THANK GOD, I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!! whoooh. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME!!!!
