8 things about moi

got tagged for this by Toe, so here's mine. can't do it in poetry like her, though. hehehe! =) it's also my first time to do a meme here, so please bear with me.

1. my idea of soundtripping is listening to one or two songs for one day. or one week... or one month... or until i get tired of listening to it/them and i've moved on to another song. but i still like them nevertheless. can't function without music---at work or if i'm cooking, reading or walking, gotta have music.

2. i. love. am. radio. dramas. been listening to them since high school and i'd love to do voice acting. ;) as a kid, i used to record my voice using different voices. i can do the voices of a witch, monster, ordinary woman, and young girl. i can do british accent too. ^^ but if you ever meet me, please don't ask me to do them. i'm shy. hihihi!

3. i love growing my fingernails on my left hand as long as i possibly could (i'm a righty so the ones on my right hand break more easily). it's a loooooooong process and i'm still lightyears away from holding the record of longest nails in the world. every year my target is to be able to grow them for at least one year but the longest length i've achieved is one frigging inch for ten months in 2005, until one of them broke because it got stuck in the door as i was closing it. can you imagine? *evil laugh* but hey, i almost fainted because of that. now my nails are about 5 millimeters long. and yes, i do measure them. and yes, i can still play the piano with long nails. ;)

4. i enjoy solitude. i can eat in a restaurant, wander in a mall or watch a movie all by my lonesome. i also enjoy it when no one's at home and everything is silent except for the birds twittering about and the noise of the occasional car or tricycle passing by.

5. i prefer walking to riding, and if manila isn't that polluted i'd have walked everyday. new york city is almost the same as manila but it's more conducive to pedestrians because of the wide sidewalks. i remember my brother and i crossed the george washington bridge to manhattan (from fort lee) and walked on until times square. and on another occasion, from 42nd street to canal street in chinatown and back. whew!

6. i am very poor at math. would you believe it was when i was in college that i only fully understood some concepts we learned in elementary? (like percentages, fractions, ratio, etc)but somehow i enjoyed statistics in high school. but the others? never mind. it's a miracle i survived school.

7. i like getting lost in unfamiliar places. this only applies when i don't have a specific destination and have no meetings.

8. ahh, cell phones. i never bought one for myself since 2003. from that time up to the present, my cell phones are hand-me-downs--3210 (from my cousin), 8250 (aunt's) and the latest one which i don't know the model of (from my brother). they also have the same problem: old batteries. hehehe. at least my present phone is colored now lolz.

ok, 8 people i'm gonna tag... pearl, islander, yatot, tofubaby, layla, dons, tutubi and verns. =)
