The Open Book

Here we go.

1.  I'm friendly.  A neutral.  I don't take sides when friends are against each other, but I will if reasonably needed.  I'm not the overly-bubbly chatterbox kind of friendly.  I'm just really nice without trying to be.  Doesn't matter if you're a gas boy or a kid begging for money.  I find it easy to chit chat with them.  But I have had some encounters where strangers I have begun talking to start telling me their "kawawa" stories and that'll my cue to come up with a polite exit strategy.  I am nice but I can't solve everyone's problems.  Learn how to fish, people!

2.  I don't have a phobia.  Yeah, I squirm a little when it comes to seeing the insides of a human body fresh during surgery or a pack of hyenas eating the insides of a dead zebra on TV.  But I still love watching ER, House, CSI and those animal survivor shows.  But, I generally don't have an actual phobia-phobia.  Maybe fear of heights but... nah.  Does flying cockroaches count?   Kadiri.

3.  I love iced coffee.  I've been addicted to it for over 2 years, more or less.  It's the only "sweet" thing I like.  If you have it, I'll have one for sure.   As in everyday I need my dose of "medicine".  I get cranky without it.  But I think that's where most of my fat is coming from.  

4.  I like to scare people.  I get a kick out of people getting/ being scared.  It's so fun!  I'd be hiding low in some dark corner and when either one of my little sisters or brother would walk by I'd jump out with a shout, they'd scream their heads off, I'd be rolling on the floor, laughing and they would get so mad they'd hit me hard.  The best person I like scaring is my sis, Likha.  You should see her face and the tears that are coming out.

5.  I am a "reklamadora/ laitera".  I complain a lot about people who disappoint or irritate or annoy me.  I also don't like inconsiderate people and stupid people.  This is also my ego booster because I'd feel superior than them.  I'm so mean, I know.  

6.  I used to be a cheer dancer.  Before singing, dancing was what I did a lot when I was younger.  Younger like 2 years old and onwards.  I tried out for my high school squad because there wasn't a street dance club.  I tried out for the DLSU squad not to be sikat or astig but because I wondered if I can just make it.  And I did.  Those were really fun years too.

7.  I write good songs and sing pretty well.  Cough, cough.  Not trying to be mayabang or anything, but it's true.  But as much as my outside personality seems to be this happy person, a lot of what I write about are sadness and feeling lost.  I don't know why.  But the songs come out really well.  Now all I need to do now is get my ass back in the limelight.

8.  I can sleep for 14 hours in a day.  This is what I call my hibernation state.  It's kinda seasonal.  And my body dictates it.  After much deliberation and research, I think I know why this happens.  It usually comes around when I am in a depressed mood.  Not clinically depressed.  Just extremely bothered or sad.  

9.  I smoke cigarettes.  During our high school reunion, a lot of people were shocked about this.  As much as I hate it, I still do it.  So much for self-discipline.  And I rarely smoked pot.  The best hit I ever had was my first time during college.  I laughed until I dropped.
