I Was Tagged by Karmina.

RULES:
Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about himself/herself. People who get tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 6 weird things. They should as well state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog. This could be fun.

Weird Thing #1
When I’m broke, I spend some more. Consider this scenario in my life (which usually happens when it’s five days away from the next payday), I don’t have much money anymore so I usually decide to take P100.00 each day to work to pay for my expenses (fare and food). Instead of scrimping on what I’ll have for lunch or dinner, I’ll go all out with the food I order. I spend around PhP90.00 for a meal and then pray to God that I have enough coins in my pouch for fare. If I don’t, then I walk home. Hahaha!

Weird Thing #2
Destiny finds me. (I wrote about this in my Seven Things.) The problem with that is it’s the destiny of other people, not mine. Like for example, Candice has this crush before (whom we met in one of our escapades) and there was a slim  (so very, very little) chance of finding him ever again but I did! I even found his cp number. Ryan has this ex (ex na nga ba?) whom he’s just texting for the time being but haven’t really seen for a long time now. Lo and behold, my bestfriend from high school is her officemate! They’re in the process of rekindling. Hahaha! And there’s a lot more weird coincidences and findings, which make destiny closer to my friends. Again, not mine.

Weird Thing #3
I am pessimistic but others don’t think so. Or I think I’m pessimistic but other people think I’m optimistic. I’ve always thought pessimism has worked for me this past few years. I don’t expect and not expecting doesn’t hurt that much when things don’t go my way. So naturally, I consider myself pessimistic. Imagine my shock when one mentor said, "Ja, you’re always optimistic." Huh? I asked him why and he said I’m always hopeful that things will get better and I’m always giving people a chance to redeem themselves. (Like what I’ve done in that situation when he uttered that sentence. Too long to tell the story.) Do I? I think I’d like to doubt myself now.

Weird Thing #4
I begin things without finishing them. That makes more sense with the crafts I do and the relationships I make. I begin a craft (scrapbook, accessory, etc.) with enthusiasm. I want to buy the materials needed and start the damn thing immediately before the idea leaves me. And then I do it. But after sometime, I begin losing something in me that I just leave whatever I’m doing and think, "I’ll do it tomorrow." But months pass by and I still couldn’t gather enough effort to finish. Same goes with some "relationships" I’ve created. Some friends, I just leave alone for the meantime. I don’t make kulit and I drop any means of communication with them. I also like to call this weird thing #4,
"creating spaces, whether needed or not."

Weird Thing #5
I have organizers but I don’t like using them to organize my life. The organizer I got from Starbucks, I turned into a semi-scrapjournal. I jot down events when they’re already finished (not before) and embellish them with small mementos (movie tickets, tissues, wizard money, etc.). The digital organizer I bought with my first paycheck is now with Anj. I used it as a gaming and doodling device, never an organizer, before I stashed it into my drawer several months ago. I have three or more organizers for the year 2007  displayed in our cabinet at home (one was taken by my father to Saudi recently kasi nga hindi ko naman daw ginagamit.) I have lots of organizers but I don’t use them. So how do I organize my life? I don’t.

Weird Thing #6
I stay quiet on a topic called “my lovelife.” Always been quiet about it. Enough said.
