.:.20 faSt FaCts pLus 5.:.

I was tagged by owen a week prior to my birthday (some other time) anyway, here’s my assignment.

1.) I was born morning of October 19, 1980. My mom and dad were right in the middle of hearing the 7am mass when I decided its time I graced this world with my beautiful presence. Hehehe walang kokontra!
2.) I was barely a year old when I started to talk, at take note never akong nagbulol. My mom said that I’m one helluvah talker! Well I think my friends can attest to that.
3.) I wanted a second name, feeling ko kasi sobrang ikli ng pangalan ko.
4.) I have always been fascinated with dogs. Before when we would pass by Escolta I would see these vendors selling puppies and I would literally beg my mom to buy me one but the pleading and begging never worked.
5.) In line with item number 4 – I now have 2 adorable dogs, one black Labrador and another that is a cross between a pure shitz tzuh (sorry di ko sure sa spelling) and a mongrel.
6.) I love dressing up for parties and my dad hates it coz every time there is a big occasion especially when I have a part in the program I insist on going to our fabulous ‘mananahi’ and chose a gown. Hehe
7.) I used to be very optimistic.
8.) On the night of my 17th bday, we (I and my former church friends) drove around quezon city and we sort of stopped at McDo beside Great Eastern Hotel, and I made a silent wish telling God: “Lord sana makapagparty ako sa debut ko kahit jan lang sa Aberdeen.”
9.) In line with number 8, a year later, that wish was fulfilled. Sabi ko nga, Lord sana pala sa Manila Hotel kami nahinto or sa Manila Penn. Hehe
10.) I could hardly play any sports. My high school classmates could attest to that. They all dread having me in their team. Sorry patalo talaga ko pagdating sa kahit anong sports.
11.) I love dancing the swing. Thanks to the many debut parties I attended before and for Harbie’s patience at natuto din ako magsayaw ng swing.
12.) I used to be a literary staffer of our school paper way high school.
13.) I have been overweight for most of my childhood days.
14.) In line with number 13, I used to be anorexic.
15.) Then I became bulimic.
16.) I was crazy over sweet dreams before but a friend of mine is crazier over those pocket books (CheR)
17.) I love swimming! I must have been a dolphin in my past life.
18.) Im not big on clothes and shoes and bags as most girls I know.
19.) My overcompensation is books. Since I cant buy all the books I wanted when I was young, what I would do then is to hide the last copy of the book of my choice on a different stack at the back of the other books and then Id go back for it after I save up for the corresponding amount.
20.) I love Saturday nights at home, watching tv and having hot chocolate.

Okay so I did say plus 5 coz I just recently turned 25. So here goes the bonus:

21.) I make my own accessories, well not all but some especially earrings.
22.) I love crafts – crochet, cross-stitch, latch hook projects, etc. – no wonder one of my high school friends (Dewleeh) used to say I’d grow up to be an old maid. Yay! Wag naman sana di ba.
23.) In line with number 22, my favorite station is Mellow Touch when I was in high school (now its Wave), so again Dewleeh gave me that snide remark over pizza at the old Greenwich place at Dapitan saying: “My God naman Erlyn pareho kayo ng favorite station ng nanay ko!”
24.) I used to be called tweety bird by CheR way back high school and that’s because I had this stupid haircut (I swear I’ll never cut my hair that short again!) that made me look like tweety bird.
25.) I do not like conforming. When people started liking Tweety bird, I opted for Sylvester. I used to like the Corrs before everybody learned about their first single “Only when I Sleep”. When everyone started liking them I decided I don’t like them anymore, same goes for Freestyle.

There you go, hmmm sarap din pala magreminisce. I won't tag anyone na, kung sino na lang may gusto gumawa. hehe

im S.I.C.K. huhuhu =(

.:.XII.:.

While I was busy minding the mundane
Time passed by, swiftly
It came in tip toes

It was too late when I decided to
pay attention
Too much time has elapsed
I felt overwhelmed with restlessness
Fear slipped in right under my doorstep
Bringing with her, her sinister sisters –
Doubt and insecurity
I felt their curses run through my veins

I cried for help, I sought understanding
And reassurance
But my tears were met with even more uncertainties
I was vehemently denied the comfort of
A single promise

From now on, I will only meet everyone
Half-way
I will not cover the entire hundred eighty
Degrees.

in a matter of 10 days im going to turn a year older again. whew! where does the time go??? ive been thinking about that lately and the fact that i still feel that time is suspended in my own universe. haha that must have been confusing earlier i said time flies now im saying that i feel that time seems to have been suspended. let me try to make some sense of it in the best way that i could. its just that i feel that my life hasn't stated yet. it feels as if im waiting in line for my turn to ride the roller coaster and there's this really long queue. i feel that this is not what i am meant to do and where i am meant to be, but somehow i got stuck here. and while my life has yet to pick up, time has already passed without me noticing it.

i know what you're probably thinking right now, that im such a pessimist. well i have to admit that as one grows older (well okay im speaking for myself), he/she tends to be jaded and the proverbial glass is now seen as half-empty instead of half-filled. i don't know if you could somehow get the gist of what i am saying here, nonetheless that's exactly how i feel.

im looking forward to my vacation leave for my birthday. babe and i will be celebrating as his birthday will be on the 21st which makes me a day older than him. haha ate daw dapat tawag nya sa kin. anyhow, we both filed for a time off for our birthdays so that we could rest and have quality time and just talk. we hardly have time to see each other lately because of our schedules. hope we could get our much needed rest and recreation.

have a great week ahead people!
