yup. it's my birthday and this post is all about me (don't complain). i've much to tell... let's see... the biggest birthday surprise dinner, spending my birthday weekend on the beach with the whole g-clan, celebrating my birthday day on the beach... but all that kwento will have to wait.
for now, this...
1. it doesn't matter how common my name is or how girly it sounds, i still love it.
2. i'm the eldest of five ~ 3 brothers and a sister. we have 3 dogs, a mynah, 2 fortune lobsters and several fish.
3. i don't think fish are pets... they're more like house decor.
4. i consider myself ordinary but not an ordinary girl. you'll get why if you read the whole list.
5. i have a weird fascination with this.... i don't know why. it's the first thing i look at in a car. i personally call them 'bling-blings'. i lurv spinners.
6. i prefer watching horror, action, adventure, sci-fi movies over romantic, mushy, love story, girly flicks.
7. if i were to choose between a roomful of mice and another of roaches, i'd choose little stewarts anytime.
8. i don't listen to lovesongs ~ even when i was in-love.

16. when given math problems, my brain shuts down indefinitely.
17. i know how to play a banduria and a lyre. i used to be a part of a church rondalla.
18. i don't dress my age. i'm always in jeans, shirt and sneakers.
19. i don't tell my friends i love them, i show it.
20. i like to drive fast but i park like sh*t.
21. i love watching wrestling. wwe for me is like lovers in paris for other people ~ it's my soap opera-fix.
22. i'm a chocolate junkie. dark chocolate is the best. liquor-filled dark chocolate is the bestest.
23. i can sleep anywhere and without any pillow. i just need a blanket.
24. i love tildas (~). i use it when i don't know what punctuation mark to put in my statement.

34. i love gadgets but i'm no techie. i have an adviser for that. right, belsten?
35. i love lemon, lime and citrus scents. yeah, the usual scent of cleaners.
36. i'm not afraid of dying... it's how i die that i'm more concerned of.
37. i'm the type of person who takes up a hobby / sport, gets engrossed with it for months, gets tired with it, stops, and takes up another one ~ just like my dad.
38. in h.s., i rode my racerbike from bicutan to cavite, ate breakfast in mcdo, then went back home.

56. i'm an optimist.
57. my personal space is very important to me. don't touch me or even come near me if we're not close friends.
58. i find myself near moshpits in rock concerts... it's probably something like a moth to a flame thing.

Wrong! The Sandman books are trade paperbacks. They're simply compilations of the Sandman comic book issues. So, in essence, they are comic books. Graphic novels are different. Those are the ones that were published in book format (whether soft or hardcover) right from the get-go :P | |
