About Me

i haven't figured myself out yet. when people ask me about my sudden mood changes, "i'm a gemini" is usually a concise and reliable reply to make them understand. it saves me from listening to their psychoanalization babble about me :P
i am a paradox. i am decisively indecisive. i like taking calculated risks. i am a childlike (ok, childish is also applicable sometimes! :P) grown-up.
i am loyal. i still drink the same choco drink i've been drinking even before i could learn to spell the word "milo". although, i experiment with new brands simultaneously, i still keep and go back to the trusted and reliable one. i always break off from the routine but if it's something that i'm drawn to, expect me to jump back on the loop from time to time.
i am slyly attentive. be warned, i see and hear everything even when i'm feigning disinterest :P i may seem to be preoccupied but i memorize and absorb everything quickly.
i love in a weird kind of way. no explanation whatsoever for this. haha :P
i like written and vocalized words.
my favorite word is "hope".
my least favorite is "apathy".
if i were to answer the question from the proust questionnaire "to what faults do you feel most indulgent?", i would say that i am most tolerant of ignorance.
i believe in second chances. what i don't believe in is ignoring the lessons from your mistakes or clearly disregarding the privilege of having the chance to wisen up. any experience that went by without leaving a mark is just a waste of time.
i like balances in nature. no one can have it all. i try to make futile attempts to disprove this all the time, though. tough luck. haha.
i have strong faith in the Higher Being and i am confident with my belief. i am an almost non-participative catholic, though.
i love kids and how they kiss and snuggle and say the silliest things :)
i used to think that my ideal love story would be lelaina and troy's in "reality bites". i wanted so bad to have what they had but as the title so obviously tells (i was young and idealistic to realize this before... haha :P), something is less appealing once you've experienced what and how it's really like to deal with emotional complexities. things are sometimes better in fiction.
i avoid typical arguments. when i feel bad, i either stay away or when bugged, i become very sarcastic.
i am not a very good organizer. my room is a mess. i like to cram. my sleep is erratic by choice. my food intake is unstable. i splurge on non-essential "want" things as often as i scrimp on the important "need" things.
i love to push my luck and just let the direction of the wind take me to wherever i end up in- with caution, though. i weigh the odds first before i hang loose.
i admire visual arts and just about anything that is an emotionally-stirring eye-catcher.
if this were a perfect world, i would be with the person i love and we would be travelling comfortably from our house in the city to our own little secluded island or to our cabin in the hills :)
ok, now you guys already have a preview of how my train of thoughts work. it's like everything just shoots off from any direction :P no fluidity whatsoever. haha. i just made myself sound like a mess, didn't i? :P
