25 Scribblings about me

February 15, 2009 krissything 

1. My faith in a romantic love that will last me my whole life since finding him is still very much intact, even with everything I’ve been through. No, you can’t make me snap out of it.
2. My fairy tale would be to travel the world with that one person—oh and to go hot air balloon with him too.
3. I loooove the beaches here in the country. I have been to Boracay, Puerto Galera, Coron, Anawangin, Camiguin, Dakak, Samal Island and several other beaches in the archipelago. My other must-visit beaches are the ones from Cebu or those in the Visayas, and in Hundred Islands. (Here I come!)
4. I always wanted to be mother majorette in high school, hahaha!
5. I often wish that my family, including my aunts and uncles and cousins, would not mind me so much during gatherings anymore because I feel like I get too much attention.
6. I seem like a happy person, but a doctor prescribed an antidepressant for me once. I never took it though because I thought I couldn’t possibly be on a similar plane with Britney Spears.
7. I am not a techie person and I do not have the patience to follow instructions. I might have a problem with authority.
8. I am currently loving Michelle’s Choco Pyramid and I am craving it everyday that I am in Bataan.
9. I wore braces for 6 frigging years, and I absolutely despise my dentist for making it stick in my mouth for that long.
10. I absolutely adore bargains and I have some shirts that are worth P50 from Divisoria, but you’ll never be able to guess.. Oh, I found out how to get to Divisoria because my dentist’s clinic is in Binondo, and every month for 6 years, I was there. The price I had to pay for beauty.
11. I love looking at glossy fashion and entertainment magazines, and I could stare at them til my eyes hurt. I rarely read any of the text content save for the photo labels.
12. I believe that the essence of a man and a woman is the same—to live their lives for God whatever role they may be playing, to seek Him in this life, obey and understand how it is to love Him.
13. I liked The Notebook so much more than Titanic. The first time I watched the latter was in a moviehouse back in my hometown where the sound system was so poor and you cannot make anything out of what any of the characters were saying.
14. I always wanted to be a travel journalist. When Living Asia’s managing editor called me up, I was utterly blissful that they gave me a chance. The piece I submitted was a Friendster blog entry I had about my fascination for the teleserye “Encantadia”. I was obsessed with it.
15. I’d always been mediocre. The only one time I wasn’t was when I fell in love for the first time. I think I’ve told everybody that, or something to that effect. And I’ll gladly tell my grandchildren about it.
16. I had a hard time getting over Nicole Kidman’s collagen lip injection to look like Angelina Jolie. She’s Nicole Kidman for crying out loud—the queen of Hollywood! When I saw her ad for Omega, I thought, now I totally understand why Gretchen had to have hers done too.
17. My family lived in a haunted house for seven long years before we felt something and had to move out. It was triggered by our house help getting possessed by a dwarf she was friends with that followed her from the riverbanks of some forgotten town in North Cotabato.
18. In relation to that, my sister had to wrestle a possessed helper that we brought to Manila. Yeah, we occasionally have these kinds of domestic situations.
19. My sister and I used to wrestle until 2am trying to tickle each other. When she got bigger than I was, I never picked on her anymore.
20. I used to be Daddy’s girl.
21. I love reading the Bible because God speaks to me through it, in everyday situations even in things that I think are mundane. There is this general idea that the Bible is hard to understand, and to some extent I agree. Which is why one will need a study group or just a Sunday church service to understand them more. But when you badly need an answer, it will be there.
22. I agree with Ria, that if Usher will ever make up his mind to do a concert here in the Philippines, I’ll only watch it with the Bliss Girls. Maybe even yearssss later, we’d be on our feet and screaming at the top of our lungs with our little ones tugging on our sexiest little outfits, waving wildly at the R&B prodigy while our husbands watch us with dirty looks of disapproval.
23. I am the Spice Girls’ biggest ex-fan.
24. I am a sucker for beauty home remedies and once in high school, I put pure honey on my face and tried not to move my head while sleeping. I was actually able to sleep with it on but my pillow was covered in transparent yellow goo the next day. It was on my hair, my clothes, everywhere. The only way you can make me do that again is to pay me 1million pesos.
25. I love a good scent. The scent of Zen Zest aromatic oil tangerine, Lanvin Eclat, Paris Hilton, Anna Sui Secret Wish, jasmine, and all things fruity floral. A fresh-scent men’s cologne worn by some random guy in a Toki jeepney after a really tiring day gets me energized.
