Last night, while waiting for hubby to pick me up from the office, I got hooked checking THIS out! And there I found a lot of Pinoy bloggers and went blog-hopping like crazy.
This sidebar item by PinayHekmi inspired and amused me to do one for myself as well. I fondly remembered doing a somehow similar list (of 75 things i was grateful for) in the gratitude journal i gave Riki during our 75th monthsarry-placed in a box with 75 Hershey's kisses! So here goes:
1. I adore my equal-half so much and I cannot imagine life without him.
2. Which is very evident in my blog where almost all my entries include him in one way or another.
3. And in my everyday conversation with friends and colleagues.
4. Who I guess are already saturated about my almost one-year babbling about my (dream) wedding pictures and videos. They just wait till I have my first kid! Hah!
5. For me, my husband has the most ASTIG singing (and speaking) voice in this planet.
6. I am south-pawed but I bowl and pluck the guitar using my right hand.
7. I don’t write characters using looped cursive strokes (I can, but it takes best effort and force).
8. My handwriting style since grade school is Print Script.
9. I love studying. I even went back to graduate school some years ago so that I can attend classes again, read finance books, prepare my own reviewer (color-coded) per chapter and take exams.
10. I stopped (because of work demands) but plan to resume it next year.
11. My company will shoulder the expense this time! Yey!
12. I am the official notes-taker during highschool and college. My notebooks are regular clients of the xerox machine.
13. I used to be a member of our highshool drum and bugle band.
14. Yes, I am a master baton twirler.
15. Ako ay isang Iskolar ng Bayan. Salamat Pilipinas!
16. I dig rock and alternative music and HATES boy bands.
17. I used to love John Mayer like hell until 2003 when he went mainstream and became famous.
18. I used to listen to my (downloaded) mp3s of his acoustic performance and covers in my laptop every single day straight for three months.
19. I now love JACK WHITE, GAEL GARCIA BERNAL and ETHAN HAWKE next to my husband.
20. I am a frustrated musician/rockstar.
21. The day I perform and do justice to K’s Choice’s “Im Not An Addict”, I can die.
22. I used to be skinny way back college days.
23. Now I am nearing obesity. So help me God.
24. I can just eat banana for the rest of my life. Fried, caramelized, raw, wrapped, soaked in ice cream.
25. But all chip variants with Sour Cream flavor will be most welcomed as well.
26. I tend to clean and organize my office workstation every other day.
27. Because I cannot work in a messy cube.
28. When I started working fresh from college, my primary requirement for a good job is neither the compensation package nor the career opportunities. The office must be beautiful and modern.
29. I left home to live independently one year after college graduation.
30. My current job is my 7th. I only lasted three days in my first one.
31. I have done corporate planning, auditing, bank/account management and IT consulting work, in that order.
32. I love SAP and will do SAP related-work till I retire (five years from now) from corporate slavery.
33. So WhyTF did I accept this 18-months SOX assignment?
34. Because I love to travel. And would want to travel for FREE.
35. To the US and Europe especially. (Again, with my hubby preferably)
36. I prefer the beach over the mountain. Two days in Baguio and I am bored to death!
37. I went out with the same guy for 11 years before finally settling down with him.
38. Or is it rather, before he finally decided to settle down with me?
39. My wedding preparation is my greatest project and GO-LIVE ever!
40. I and hubby paid for all our wedding expenses.
41. I did all the negotiations with suppliers, finalization of the contracts, tending to the details, he did the money transfers.
42. I hate chronic moochers.
43. And credit-grabbers.
44. I hate getting up early every morning knowing that I will be going to the office (and not somewhere else)
45. I need 30 minutes to snooze before finally pulling myself out of bed.
46. I am not a consistent and industrious daily worker.
47. I slack and procrastinate sometimes. Ok. Recently, most of the time.
48. But when I work, I make sure I give quality results.
49. With major impact so that it will get recognized. And me as well.
50. I have read the Harry Potter series (books 1-5) five times already.
51. And I am now starting my foreign edition collection. (I have book 2 in Chinese already, Thai edition coming up before the end of the year! Weee!) -MAKE THAT NEXT WEEK! Book 1 Thai Edition! Thank you so much HES!!!
52. I am an ARAGORN (Strider) fanatic. There are times when I daydream I am Arwen.
53. I have the complete six seasons in DVD of Sex and The City.
54. I have only been drunk (throwing-up included) thrice in my lifetime. My career high is 6 beers, 20 or more glasses of vodka tonic and more beers… I lost count already towards the end of the session.
55. But I love Cuervo Gold above them all. I don’t like Bailey’s.
56. I have ALL the issues of Real Living magazine.
57. I am a non-conformist.
58. If everyone wants the blue pill, I will get the red one.
59. I don’t like being instructed what to do (out of the office of course).
60. If my mother tells me to clean my room, I will make more mess in there.
61. When I was still single, I prefer men who are disheveled over the preppy ones.
62. If you sing well (not the boy band voice caliber of course), I will find you HOT!
63. If you sing and play the guitar well at the same time, you are the MAN!
64. I love all things PURPLE (as if you haven’t noticed yet!).
65. But I don’t eat ube, talong, and anything of that color or flavor (yeah, even for candies and fruit juices).
66. Exception is the fruit grapes.
67. I am a TEXT TWIST addict. My highest score is 195,000. A friend beat me by 65,000 points. Dang! Read my entry about this addiction.
68. I have climbed only one mountain in my entire life. Mt. Makulot in Batangas.
69. I didn’t count Mt. Caliraya because I think it is more of a plateau/hill.
70. I guess going up the highlands of Ocean Park via a cable car doesn’t count as well. Hehehe!
71. I love shopping! Especially if someone else is paying for it.
72. I enjoy wrapping gifts. Especially during Christmas. I even volunteer to wrap my friend’s gifts for them.
73. I prefer sleeping with the lights off.
74. With minimum of two pillows and a comforter blanket.
75. I don’t wear make-up to work. Baby face powder and a lip sheer is all I need.
76. I don’t have an eyebrow pencil. Luckily, my eyebrows are thick and just need to be thread regularly for shape.
77. I am a fan of Levi’s Super Low pants. I think I have all their variants.
78. I am a white shirt-blue jeans girl.
79. I type fast when chatting.
80. Hubby said I drive fast.
81. I talk fast as well. Sometimes I nag. Yeah.
82. I prefer square stones over the round cut. That is why my ROCK is square-cut.
83. Accounting for household bills is my specialty.
84. I even have pie charts for our capital spending and expenditures.
85. I always have the itch to document everything. From my travel expenses and experiences to my database of CD/DVD collection.
86. I prefer the manual toothbrush to the electronic one.
87. I prefer the good old paperbacks and hardbounds over the now trendy soft-copy ebooks.
88. My future house will have one room solely functioning as the library. All-wood bookshelves and tables and a black Lazyboy.
89. Another room will be the Entertainment Room. For hubby’s electronics and entertainment whims.
90. I have high respect for SELF-MADE men and women. People who bought their car/s and house/s from their own hard-earned money.
91. I used to watch ALL movies showing in the local theaters.
92. Now I seldom go to the movie house and rather, watch DVDs in the comforts of my home instead.
93. Movie dates are now reserved for special films which require THX technology (like LOTR and Star Wars).
94. I do all my banking transactions and most of my bills payments online.
95. I get easily irritated by long queues in the banks.
96. No matter how bad the economy is right now in the country, I still want to raise my future kids here.
97. Near our families and friends, whom we treasure most in life.
98. Living abroad is not a closed option though. Only requirement is that it should be an English-speaking country.
99. I can spend the whole day just looking and talking with my husband.
100. I want (and praying) to have my first-born next year.
101. I love GOD above all else.
