I left home (province) this morning feeling really sad. I really did not want to go back here this early and when I waved goodbye at my mom (who was the only one awake when I left home) I really felt (after a looong time) like crying.
Anyway, the day wasn't at all bad. I shared the bus ride with a friend from elementary, Andrew. It's been a really long while and it was fun catching up :) Things have changed a bit but he's still the funny guy I used to know.
Fintrea class was okay although I really am not a big fan of accounting, hehe..not to mention the fact that I was still kinda sleepy. After class, we (Jowee, Soy, Amelie, Stan and Jepoy) ate lunch at Munch Alley. We hung around at school after at north conserve and had a few laughs about a bunch of things and Kokology, haha ;) I just took a nap when I arrived and here I am now trying to at least make progress with my papers. I'm off! :D
*****
Okay, this obviously is loooong overdue. Apologies to Katrina, Paulene and Ali (who tagged me long ago, haha) and those of you who even bother to read my blog and look up stuff here, harhar :) It's funny how it takes me a long time to think of "random" stuff (or maybe I'm just being lazy, again). But anyway, here it goes...
In the 8 facts about you, you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you.
hen at the end you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.
– Each blogger must post these rules first.
– Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
– Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
– At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
– Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I used to be really, really fond (well, obsessed might be a better word, haha :p) of Anime (Japanese Animation, for those of you who don't know). I think all that started when I was still young during the days of Princess Sarah, Cedie and others...which later on became Time Quest, Akazukin Cha-Cha, Flame of Recca.. and others, haha! The most I was in to was Fushigi Yuugi, for reasons I really don't get nowadays (I'd like to think that I've become mature about it, haha :p). Maybe it's because it was romantic and mushy. Or maybe I just like Yu Watase's anime style. Back then, I think memorized all the info about all the Star Warriors by heart (like height, age, birthday, locations of the markings in their bodies.. pathetic, I know..haha!). Anyway, I still like Anime, but don't spend as much time with them as I used to. I also liked Samurai X, Ayashi No Ceres, Alice Academy, HunterXHunter, Detective Conan...and...(the list is long so I'll stop here, but you get the picture :p).
2. I'm still on the look out for what I really wanna do and what I'm really passionate about. I've tried to get into stuff starting when I was young. Swimming, gymnastics (well, almost.. but believe it or not, I could do cartwheels till I was in 2nd year High School, haha!), piano lessons (from 1st Grade to 1st year High School) which I loved dearly and really miss, drawing (anything there was to draw, and Anime, of course), among other things. In High School, I joined the choir, learned to play the guitar a bit, went into arts and crafts, and even had a brief stint writing for the school paper (some people actually think I write well, poor souls :p). Now...well, I'm in Finance! hahaha! Sometimes I think I appreciate everything too much (and want to try everything, for that matter) that I fail to find what really tops my list. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the things I do but there's...something missing. For now, I guess the search continues...weeee! :D
3. I have a scar on my chin from falling from a bar during 1st grade (6 stitches, oh yeah! :p) and my left wrist got fractured that same year. Those were the days of pure innocence and bliss. :p
4. I have this weird fondness for pencils, pens, highlighters and notebooks. For the pens, I like variety, that's why I have a jam-packed pencil case (which looks like a little purse, haha!). Pencils, well, I use them for notes and for doodling :p. Highlighters..hmmm..let's just say I have a hard time studying without them, plus, I also love different colors. Notebooks...I like really cute ones but I'd love you if you give me the old version of the Blue Corona notebook, the one with smaller line spaces and without the space for the date. I once cried during high school coz I lost my pencil case in the bus home (Some guy thought it had money so he got it, i think).
5. Despite the fact that I have a short name, (sadly, I don;t have a second name and all my siblings and most of my cousins have one :-/ ) people call me differently. At home, I go by Ate (my bro and sis), Bel (Mom, Dad, relatives) and Bei (my late Lola). High school friends called and still call me Ate Bel/ 'Te Bel. (READ: HIGH SCHOOL! So leave it be if you're not from high school!! haha!) Now in college, I go by Isa, Sabel, and even Sabby or Sab (there were several occasions). I'd really appreciate it if you call me by my real name though. Isabel would be fine, thank you :)
(It was really supposed to be Beatrice, though. haha :p)
6. I contradict myself on a lot of things. For example, there is this urge in me to know (more) yet something inside me believes that knowing (more) would make me suffer and that something inside me would rather settle for mediocrity. I like simplicity yet I am fascinated by complexity. Well, I dunno. I think I think too much sometimes, hehe :)
7. What you see is not always what you get. Does this mean I'm pretentious? Well, I'd like to think that we choose (consciously or subconsciously) what and how we want other people to see us. Besides, everything in this universe must have something more than what meets the eye, otherwise there would be no room for discovery and life would be really boring, haha :D
8. Although I appreciate and love a lot of people, I don't think I've ever fallen in love with anyone yet (I can't believe this is my number 8! HAHAHA! :D La na maisip eh!). Close calls? Hmmm, maybe, but not seriously, I guess. I'd tell you why but I really don't know either. Fear? Maybe. Most probably. ;)
I can't think of 8 people I can tag anymore (it's been so long, almost everyone I know has already done this) so whoever is bored is very welcome to do this :DLabels: 8, bus, Kokology, school
