im IT!

Haha I really am sorry la. Didnt quite get the guestbook message you placed at my homepage. So this is what I'm supposed to do. I am to give 10 stuff about me....For some reference, I decided to post your answer here too and added mine in italics..I realized we share some common stuff la hahahahah......:D

1. I have a collection of receipts. Any receipt that would link me to a memory (e.g. a receipt from when I celebrated my birthday with friends, or the receipt of the first thing I bought with my first-every paycheck). The oldest receipt I have is from my birthday year 1986, of a useless Barbie doll bought by my mom's hard-earned money... Funny thing about this collection is people think I'd collect just about any receipt I can get my hands on. DUH. I have no plans to be B.I.R.'s BFF, y'know. So please stop giving me receipts from when you bought mints from the local grocery!

Guess what? I also have a collection of receipts! Though not as old as you have, but I used to have a clipper hanging on my study table when I was in college where all (yes literally ALL) of my receipts for the sem are placed. Geez, I didnt have any idea that I could be the most coveted BFF of BIR for that...Anyway, I decided to get rid of them. But I still get to see some receipts on my wallet every now and then for some laundry a couple of months ago...hehehehe...

2. I believe that I am Garfield turned into a human female. Seriously :)

I say I believe in love and destiny. Hehehehe...I am your hopeless romantic Bridget Jones personified! But I still havent got that happy ending yet. :-<

3. When I was in Grade 3, I got hooked on the "Adventures of Tin Tin" Series that I'd fake sickness just to get out of class, and instead of going to the clinic, I'd head off to the library and spend the whole afternoon there. (I now have DVDs of the Tin Tin animation series, but nothing beats the good ol' big magazines!)

Hmmm, for this cartoon themed item, I say I am one of those die hard Samurai X fanatics...I even got interested in Japanese history for the mere reason that Kenshin Himura was rumored to be an adaptation of a real-life assasin of the Meiji era.....I remembered paying 120 pesos for the 3 Sam x OVA pirated copies. Twas the payment for the VCDs then...See how expensive blank CDs were back then!

4. The top 2 places I'll have to go to before I die would be Egypt and Japan. These places are so alive inside of me that I'd smell the cherry blossoms of Japan and feel the coarse sand of Egypt in my face... I'll have to visit the tombs in Egypt and join an archeological dig. In Japan, I would have a no-holds barred makeover that one can only pull off while there.

The Alps would be one. And New York. I have been dreaming living in those places....

5. My secret dream job- which I'm now going to divulge so it'll be a secret no more- is to be a herpetologist, and my would-be specialty: snakes and crocodiles. I will never cease to be amazed at these beautiful creatures. All predatory, all muscle, yet they move with unbelievable grace. They strike fear in me, true, but their power and wild nature only make them more magnetic that I cannot help but be drawn to them.

My dream job (I omitted the secret for reasons implicated above) is to be a travel show host...I was a big fan of the Lonely Planet show in Discovery Channel....

6. They say old habits die hard. So this is in connection to number 3. While in college, I'd often skip my morning class on Mondays because I'd stay at home watching the Snakewrangler series. (Snakewrangler or P.I 100... snakewrangler or P.I.100.... SNAKEWRANGLER!!!) BUT, when my professor began asking my older sister why I keep missing his class, and she in turned nagged me in so many creative ways, I figured I'll have to make do with reruns... oh and yeah, I managed to pass the subject.

Habits...err...does procrastination count? Hehe...BIg time crammer here!

7. I am a frustrated musician... for a music-lover such as myself, I consider this a tragedy.

Me too!!! Geez, it has always been my dream to create beautiful music but I dont think I am blessed with that talent....

8. I cried when I saw Cynthia Alexander play Comfort In Your Strangeness, Fete dela Musique 2004. I cried buckets when I read Bridges of Madison Country. I am such a crybaby, it's embarrassing.

I cry in every chick flick I watched! Cry baby too! I even cried watching sex and the city...pathetic tear glands....

9. I'm a huge Jet Li fan. I can watch his movies over and over again, and again... and again. (hmm...maybe not much of The One). I shall meet him one day.

When I was a kid (was I in gradeschool?), I used to have a big crush on Mark Anthony Fernandez! Hahaha, this is embarassing!

10. My favorite movie is Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants)

Well I have loads. I am one of those who'd rather spend a lazy Sunday couch potatoing..hehehehe.....
