25 random things about me

1. im not a fan of softdrinks and i hate rootbeer - drinking carbonated beverages gives me the hiccups and those bubbles? kind of painful.

2. my handwriting depends on my moods. when i get so stressed out even my signature looks completely different. when i feel lazy my letters are so far apart and i write in print.

3. I am stubborn, pasaway, and gets annoyed easily (but there's a remedy- #4).

4. I have very very poor memory. I go to my room and forget why i went there, so i return to where i came from but can't remember what i was doing before i decided to go to my room. I pour juice or water into a glass, take a sip, leave it there and remember a few hours later that i poured myself a drink. my friends, this happens everyday.

5. when i was taking up abnormal psychology in college, we took this psychiatric exam about depressive disorders, came up with scores at the end of the exam and compared scores with the rest of the class. i was so proud that i got the highest score. stupid me, i didnt know that you were supposed to get a really low score. i was so surprised! Dr. Sean Tan told the class that my score meant that i had an acute depressive disorder. when the class ended, the prof approached me with a very concerned look on her face and said "Mela, how are you? do you want to talk? you can always approach me if you need some help."

6. i think i have middle child syndrome. terrible case :P

7. i look for orange juice whenever im sad and i find grocery shopping therapeutic when im so pissed.

8. i am lactose intolerant but bec i am stubborn (#3), i still eat ice cream, drink milk, eat cheese, chocolates, whatever.

9. my body clock is a mess since time immemorial

10. i treat my closest set of friends like the sisters i never had. (yes, they're all female)

11. i think too much, took me a long time to decide whether or not i'd post my 25 random stuff

12. i am frank (for some im too straightforward) but i appreciate it if other people try to be frank with me too

13. im a crybaby. i cry when im uber happy, super angry, when i eat spicy food, i cry when i watch telenovelas, i even had tears when i watched the KFC christmas commercial when the kids of a well-off family bought this street kid kfc dinner. hahaha im such a sap! pathetic!

14. i spent my childhood not liking my own name. english and chinese names. im over it now

15. once, i met this chinese woman in beijing who asked me what my chinese name was because she can't pronounce my english name. after i told her my chinese name, she said (in mandarin), "sounds like a man's name." pff... b*tch.

16. my mother enrolled me in all possible summer sports clinics in her desperate attempt to make me lose weight and all other summer classes possible. taekwondo, gymnastics, tennis, i tried golf a few times (i suck!), art lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons... none of which i learned successfully. i liked tennis though, yay!

17. i was enrolled in st. jude for prep 1 before my parents transferred me to ica. probly because i got whipped everyday for being too chatty or maybe coz of #3 again.

18. i like big dogs

19. i love purple. i don't mind if everything i own is purple.

20. when i was in grade 1, i didn't get a perfect score for a spelling quiz because the teacher asked us to spell the word 'Jungle', but what i wrote on the booklet was, "6.) chitae"

21. i can read korean without understanding a single word. i can even write the korean words i hear on tv, but none of it would make sense to me.

22. i love popcorn. i can eat popcorn everyday, for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, midnight snack...

23. i put cheese and chili in almost everything i eat. ignoring #13 :P people should come up with spicy bbq or jalapeno cheese flavored popcorn.

24. the year i spent in beijing is the most unforgettable year of my life so far. i had the best and the worst experiences there

25. i am at my best when i cram
