25 Random Things

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.


1.) Last year I started on Earning Online . I have a Google Adsense account that has earned my blogs exactly $9.64. Let me tell you that unless you have a huge blog niche or unless you're selling stuff online, "passive income" wouldn't get you anywhere in a year - you need $100 to encash. I also participate in online discussions in http://www.mylot.com and earn at least $10 a month through that. I have tried link sharing, image sharing and everything else except Paid To Click sites because I don't want spam in my mail.

2.) I automatically open 5 browsers when I turn on my laptop or work PC: (1) Yahoo Mail; (2) Gmail; (3) Hotmail; (4) Plurk; (5) Blogger: Things We Love to Hate

3.) I often think I should have taken Psychology instead of Computer Science. My pscyhology tests tell me so. People tell me so. My strange ability to interpret people's reactions tell me so.... Maybe I can train myself to be a human lie detector like Tim Roth in Lie to Me.

4.) I remember people's promises like they were carved in stone. If someone said I'll call you, I expect a call within a week. If you said I'll treat you to Starbucks then I expect an invitation to go out for coffee. If you said I won't go then I expect you to stay. If you break your promise even though it was a small one, you're automatically on my list of "people who can't keep promises and I shouldn't give your word much credit".

5.) Number 4 just showed you how inflexible I am. Another somewhat-reasonable-but-not-entirely-healthy characteristic is I plan e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. about the coming week. I know what I'm going to do this weekend because I planned it. A day is either "taken" or "free".

6.) I wouldn't buy something (even though I really want it) *just because it's over priced*. I wouldn't support a store in that manner.

7.) I downgraded my phone last year (and actually spent on it myself, instead of keeping the more high-tech, free phone) because I wanted a "sexy phone" ~ something that doesn't bulge when I put it in my pocket.
...then I ended up having five cellphone charms that are altogether heavier than the "sexy phone".

8.) I like reading fiction novels: Harry Potter, Eragon, Twilight (I didn't like it but I HAD to read it. Wanna know how crappy it is? Read. ), and am planning to read Inkheart trilogy. I tried reading LOTR but I can't take the pace. And romance novels: by Judith McNaught, Jude Deveraux, Nicholas Sparks.

9.) I think Paulo Coelho thinks about sex and masturbation too much. It shows in 11 Minutes and Veronica Decides to Die. I don't know why a guy is writing about how women feel about sex and masturbation. It all seems so perverse... and insulting for women.

10.) I like my gifts wrapped so I can tear the wrapping paper. It has a Christmasy and a Birthday-y feel.

11.) A birthday party is not a party without a birthday cake. I don't care what you say. There HAS to be a cake.

12.) I prefer a good cake over a good ice cream: Goldilocks braso trumps any ice cream (including Rocky Road, my favorite).

13.) I prefer fresh fruits over shake. I'd rather chew than slurp.

14.) I used to dance. Yeah. I did. No, seriously. There was only one class for our batch in high school (we were the last one-class-batch species of TMS) and ANYBODY that showed ANY kind of potential, no matter how embarrassingly small, HAD to dance. I danced for four years after practically making myself invisible in grade school.

15.) I had boy-cut hair from Grade 2-6. Then had a "Dyesabel" hair by fourth year HS. Kept it that way until I cut it ear-length-short when I started working.

16.) I only hate one thing about being petite: I have a very small calorie requirement of 1,300 a day. That means that if I eat 3 Krispy Kreme Lemon Cheesecake donuts then I can't eat anything else. 1,300 calories is also equivalent to 1 1/2 classic Cinnabon Roll.

17.) Goals: build a private school for poor people. Yeah, that's discrimination. Why not? Poor people are discriminated from expensive private schools, right? Maybe I'll let some rich people in if they pay 100x my intended public-school-priced-tuition-fee. And I want a ranch. I have NO idea why. Maybe some psychologist can tell me what that represents.

18.) I always cry when I laugh too hard. And when I can't express myself - which happens a lot.

19.) Tetris has been my favorite game since grade 2; I've never been able to perform a t-spin.

20.) I'm stupid in English especially Spelling. I used to fail every spelling quiz I had in grade 5. But that didn't stop me from being one of the top students of the batch. But I also don't know how I made it on the top list - I never seriously studied in grade school. Maybe they "expected" me to be smart because my sister had that reputation and they sort of projected it on my grades even though I wasn't really performing that well.

21.) I hold grudges: I still think my high school science teacher is terrible for tutoring a couple of my classmates. (If you didn't know, that's against the school rules especially if he's tutoring students who are vying for honors AND he's the one making the tests). Plus he made me cry...then I made life miserable for that two of us. I act polite when we meet :)

22.) If you haven't figured out for yourself yet, I'm passive aggressive according to my Psychologist boss. Just because I'm not talking, it doesn't mean I'm agreeing with you.

23.) I hate leaders who can't lead: government officials who steal tax payer's money, organization leaders who are all talk but no action, priests who have wives and kids, parents who aren't kind to their kids.

24.) Hair straightening chemicals are supposed to be effective for 6 months, they only keep my hair somewhat straightened for 2 weeks.

25.) This is the longest, self-centered blog post I've ever done.
