Peace and quiet in this blog doesn’t necessarily reflect the status of my offline life. My mother got sick and my multi-tasking ability is being put to the test. Though I am getting by, I am not passing the test with flying colors.

25-05-07_1356.jpgNeedless to say, it is difficult when you have a 4-year-old that can get into your already freaked-out nerves (don’t be deceived by the cuteness in that photo!), notwithstanding the fact that (aside from my mother) I am the only responsible adult in this house.

Nope, two 19-year-olds do not count…Raine can sometimes be more mature than them.

Checking my dashboard, aside from spam comments to moderate (makes me wonder if I have more than 5 loyal readers here…he he!), I have been tagged by two bloggers I know and already met (Jun and Rico).

I’ll start with Jun’s first, as Rico’s tag needs deeper thinking (though I am not yet sure if I’d find anything that would still make me say that it’s great to be pinoy, ha ha!!).

Anyway, as Jun wants to know (i hope you do too!)…here are 6 weird things about me:

(at least I think they’re weird, if my old friends are reading this: I dare you to tell me if I missed anything.) ;-)

  1. I don’t eat beef, because i can’t take the (maanggo) smell and I think i may be slightly allergic to it (i had strong allergic reaction to it once and i dare not let it happen again). BUT…i can eat canned corned beef on occasions, however these two pinoy brands only: Purefoods and CDO. Imported brands are out, they’re too smelly. :-P
  2. I can’t wink. I don’t know why but I just can’t. ;-)
  3. I have cold feet, always. Literal not figurative. That’s why I always sleep with even a light blanket from the waist down even on hot summer nights. :-D
  4. I find cheese-flavored tortillos perfect with coffee. Basta, masarap eh! (and I can finish one large pack in one sitting, he he.) Weird ba ito o katakawan lang? :-P
  5. I cry at movies (and in front of the TV!) since I was a little girl and I still do now. [Di ko mapigilan eh, basta ma-touch ako ng lines…ganyan ako ka-senti! My family and relatives used to tease me about it: pag manonood na ng TV o kaya ng sine, sabi nila maglagay daw ng balde sa harapan ko para pangsahod sa luha, kasi sayang daw puede pang ipang-hugas ng mga pinggan!] :-(
  6. I am right-handed but I carry everything (as in anything that needs carrying: hand bags, grocery bags, baby, etc) with my left arm. I’ve been doing this as far as I can remember. But I cannot write (or even eat) with my left, so I cannot be ambidextrous.

There you go!. Would you tell me yours?

(If you have a blog, write your 6-weird-things-about-me and link it to this post, or if you don’t have a blog, you can itemize yours in a comment below).

How about that? I don’t wanna be a party-pooper and break this meme.

Thanks Jun, I had fun thinking about those 6 things.
