1. When Obama stepped out of his car during his inauguration parade, my heart was pounding because I thought he’d get assassinated.
  2. When I’m drunk, I can get really really emotional.
  3. I’m fascinated with conspiracy theories, the paranormal, death, past-life stories and everything unexplained.
  4. I love the excess of the 18th century. I love the long trains and slim silhouettes of the late 19th century. I love the fashion boom of the roaring 20’s. I love the Hollywood glamour of the 50’s.

  5. My least favorite fashion era is probably the 80’s; there were some likeable trends that came out of it but also lots of atrocious ones as well. Shoulder pads? Neon colors? Acid-washed jeans? Shell suits (I swear my parents each had one)? Too bad a lot of them are making a comeback but totally not my thing.

  1. I hate compliments and birthday wishes [in person] because I never know how to react to them so don’t compliment me or give me birthday wishes [if you see me in real life]!! With that being said, people who fish for compliments really irritate me.
  2. When I see a guy carrying a [LV] murse (and/or covered in Ed Hardy), I instantly feel mortified for them… and then I feel bad and have to look away because it looks so pathetic.
  3. When I go out, I can take up to 4 hours to get ready. When I go to work, I only need 5 minutes.
  4. I don’t like anyone using my computer; it’s locked for a reason.
  5. I cannot sleep without a sleeping mask.

    Apparently Mochi needs one too.

If this list was written for Facebook I could’ve cared less but I had to make this TwentyFourCarat-worthy so it took me over a month to come up with these facts. Having a personal blog is as narcissistic as it gets… it was hard coming up with more facts that I haven’t published yet. :P

The meme was to list 25 facts about yourself but I split it into 5 parts because 25 is too much to read at once.

  1. My wedding was either going to be themed Old Hollywood or Marie Antoinette but now I’m pretty sure I’m going for the Marie Antoinette theme. I hope none of my friends who will get married before me steals my theme. :(
  2. I know I said that you should never head to a stall where the toilet seat is closed but I realize that I ALWAYS put down the seat before I flush if there is one because I’m paranoid with the nasty bacteria that flies out of there when you flush.
  3. Ways I think I died in my past lives: by fire, being strangled and in a car accident.
  4. I want to own and live on a horse ranch. I was a city girl but now I think I’m a country-girl at heart (whose never lived in the country).
  5. I don’t want a house with hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. I want my house decorated with the splendor and extravagance of past centuries (with a hint of contemporary glamor) but then I’d have to be super rich to do so because I want the whole package… so hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances will have to do for now.

I started writing this a while ago but never finished it but then I saw Felisa’s entry… here goes:

  • I put on my headphones when I don’t want anybody talking to me. Sometimes I’m not listening to anything either.
  • On some of our lazy Sundays, Boyfriend and I would lie in bed all day and watch entire seasons of TV shows. We’d also make trips to Yaohan to grab some bubble tea and MSG-filled Chinese food to fatten ourselves up and get into the true couch-potato spirit.
  • The only reason I work out is so I can eat more and not become morbidly obese. I’m far from your typical hot-and-skinny bitch— I love feeling good physically yet I love my food even more. I could care less about my weight and I’m proud of my curves because I don’t think being super skinny, as flat as a board with no T&A is attractive at all (if you can help it).
  • I love reading articles on Wikipedia (despite the question of authenticity) especially on European royalty and religious history.
  • My biggest fear is failing [in life].
  • I use to sit in the back of my 8am Photoshop class so I could sleep. It totally wasn’t worth waking up early and bussing downtown for stuff I taught myself when I was 13. Poo.
  • I got really good grades in highschool without trying at all but if I were to go back to school now, I don’t think I would pass.
  • During art school, I use to buy a box of cookies and eat it all by myself. My classmates use to sip on those huge boxes of Tropicana orange juice and finish it in one class. The 7-11 across the street was our kitchen cupboard despite all the restaurants and cute little cafes everywhere you turn but I swear, Adobe makes you crave junk food! HMMM. So that’s where that extra 20lbs came from.
  • I haven’t been getting anything productive done at all in the past week. I get home from work, eat dinner in bed then watch TV and play with my puppy all night. I think it’s the January blues (my second least favorite month of the year); I’m too tired and unmotivated to do anything creative, too tired to blog, too tired to read blogs and I haven’t even been reading my books. Sigh. I will try getting back into the routine next week.
  • I was talking to a friend earlier about spending a week at a ranch this summer but it would cost over $1200 and she said she’d rather go to Cancun. A couple of years ago, I would’ve said the same thing and now, call me crazy but I’d rather spend a week on a ranch and ride horses all day in our beautiful province surrounded by the Rocky Mountains than go to a beach in Mexico (although I’d still go— if it was free) and besides, I’ve always wanted to be a cowgirl! It’s funny how I’ve changed over the years. Luckily, Boyfriend has no choice but to go with me this summer because my mind is set on it and I’m sure he’ll be okay since there’s a 18-hole golf course nearby.

10 Random Facts

Books, Personal, Thoughts & Insights

Inspired from a post from Mallvibes and also a dozen blog memes that I passed up.

  1. I can’t stand the feeling of wet hair on the back of my neck and back. If my hair is wet, it’ll be up in a towel until I blow-dry it. The good thing about this is that it adds volume to your roots with no products!
  2. I’m addicted to Mallvibes because it’s the best forum in the world with the best (and friendliest) members and a fun atmosphere. :) Plus that’s where I find all my shopping deals. This is probably the ONLY forum that I’ve ever been active in (I’m usually a lurker).

  3. Everytime I walk into Chapters, I HAVE to purchase a book (or ten). Yesterday I absentmindedly went into Chapters and Boyfriend was like, “why the hell are we here?” and I really had no idea… it was just pure instinct to go in when one is near.
  4. I never wear runners unless I’m going to the gym or have to walk A LOT. They make me feel so grubby! I giggle when I think back in highschool when everyone wore white runners with jeans (and then they would turn blue).
  5. My “secret” dream is to be a hair stylist and own a salon (while doing a little bit of freelancing for web/print on the side) which I will definitely pursue but not now because I want to continue to concentrate on designing for a couple more years.
  6. I prefer solitude. I’m quiet (unless I’m around people I know well and/or when I’m a drunken mess), I’m an introvert, I like being alone and doing things alone (eg. shopping— I absolutely CANNOT stand shopping with other people). Boyfriend is the only exception. Plus I get annoyed at people who are “too social” because they seem so needy and needy people are annoying. I’m such a hater.
  7. I’m not a girly-girl as much as a lot of other girls I know. I don’t always wear make up. I don’t like doing the hugging and kissing on the cheek thing everytime I see someone. I don’t squeal. I don’t like dancing/grinding with other girls at clubs like everyone else seems to do (I’m sorry but that just seems kinda slutty and a bad cry for attention from horn dogs if you do it all the time); I prefer to dance alone… away from eveyone else; preferably in front of a fan.
  8. I’m probably the most unatheletic person you can meet. Boyfriend plays on a dodgeball team with his friends and a bunch of their girlfriends and they asked why I don’t play and he said, “she doesn’t play sports… she’ll probably be afraid of the ball.” LMAO. I laughed so hard when I heard that (and just for the record, I’m not afraid of balls… I’m just lazy).
  9. My room walls are dark purple. I wanted black but my parents would’ve been super pissed off. I wanted red but I’m already a pretty angry person and the red walls would probably put me on a rampage. Just don’t ever paint my walls pink and I won’t kill you.

  10. I don’t bother with people who annoy me or is just plain weird as hell and makes me feel uncomfortable (what’s the point?). But otherwise, I think I’m a super nice person now (more than I was before) and although I may seem bitchy and annoyed at times, I’m willing to go out of my way for my good friends especially when they’re in need.
