25 Things!

I found a game while reading a blog I've subscribed to. I think it's interesting so I decided to give it a shot. Let's see how this works for me.


1. I love dogs ever since I saw Disney's 101 Dalmatians.
2. I (faintly) dislike my name --- Gwendolyn Therese. I think it's too feminine and proper; it's not ME. Ironically, I  hate it when I receive an ID where they don't print my full name. 
3. I wasn't fond of babies and kids until I gave birth to an angel: my daughter, Zi. She is actually the first baby I've carried and actually played and cuddled with.
4. I can be insecure at other people's talents especially with regards to art but I try to remind myself (at all times) that if I was to be given all the talents in the world there would be nothing left to be insecure about. My life would be a complete bore. Who would want that?
5. I L♥VE the show HOUSE M.D. and I would not hesitate marrying Hugh Laurie (disregarding the age gap) if he'd only propose! LOL 
Trivia: Did you know that Hugh Laurie was one of the villains in 101 Dalmatians? How Ironic...
6. I am a frustrated artist. My dad was one, too. I wonder if my daughter would inherit this? It'll be a vicious cycle.
7.  I love talking to myself more than to other people. I have stopped treating other people as my best friends since I realized that only dogs could give you that undying loyalty and love that you craze and (possibly) deserve. I currently have two best friends left: My dog, Java and myself.
8. The person who taught me how to play the guitar commented that I was tone-deaf since I find it hard to strum the right tune but I'm very good ear when it comes to musical compositions. Why am I weird?
9. I love the sent of wet earth. The smell of early morning mist or the wet earth after some heavy rainfall. While other noses cringe, my nostrils would flair ---trying to  capture every scent of it!
10. I am acrophobic. I simply HATE frogs and all it's relatives. I think it started when one foggy evening, after it rained, I wanted to go outside and cross the backyard towards my grandparents' house. We weren't allowed to go outside after dark since there were snakes in our backyard. My older cousin was in charge of taking care of me that time. As I opened the door, a toad greeted me with its bulging neck (ewww). I wasn't afraid of them then until my Kuya(Big brother) Jovi told me, "Hala ka, basta ihi-an gani ka ana sa mata kay mabuta jud ka! Balik diri sa sulod." (trans:"Watch out! If that [frog] urinates on your eyes, you'll be blind for life!") I ran back inside the house shivering and crying. It got stuck in my head. That's why I almost flunk every Chemistry class I am in because I skip class whenever there's a frog dissection (ulgh!).
11. I'm a natural flirt. I do it without meaning to. It gets me into trouble sometimes and I really hate it. The bad thing is, I don't notice that I'm already flirting with someone unless someone else points it out (say one of my girlfriends).
12. The #1 on my wishlist is not the cure for my Pityriasis (as my mom wanted it to be) but a NIKON (or CANON) DSLR CAMERA. I am basically drooling over pictures of it. 
13. I am basically weird. Anyone who could spend a day with me will tell you (whoever is reading this) that this no lie.
14. I love Dr. Seuss' quote, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." This had become a (somewhat) credo on how I should live my life every day.
15. I miss my Daddy. (He died a week after my daughter was born and he never got to see her. I was very excited to become a grandfather. This is one of the saddest memories that I do not want to cry over.)
16. I hate crying but I'm such a cry baby.
17. I am no longer interested in falling in love or trusting men since the day I found out the ex-love of my life and the biological father of my baby  went with the girl I hated the most in the whole wide universe! 
18. My number one vice is swearing.
19. I want to become the greatest painter EVER but I'm too lazy to try.
20. I am a die-hard NOYPI (Pinoy or Filipino).
21. I have slitted eyes like my dad and before, when my skin was a little fairer, people mistake me for a Chinese.
22. I love watching other people going about their lives that's why I like hanging out at parks and foodcourts at the mall.
23. I LOOVE doodling. While my other classmates or co-workers are taking down notes, I am busy scribbling random words in my head as well as tracing along crazy lines on my notebooks. I am ashamed of this habit. I have used up our poor trees over nothing.
24. i simply hate people who tell lies and talk ill of others. I have learned (and am trying to perfect) this trait of NOT paying attention/listening to gossip however close they are to my hearing. HEAR NO EVIL> SPEAK NO EVIL.
25. I don't like writing. I'm not very good with putting my thoughts on paper.
