Belle, you know I have done something similar like this before but because my mind doesn’t function quite clearly into blogging these days, I’m honored to share some.
1. I am absolutely useless at learning any kind of languages even if Cantonese conversation sounds like you’re having a fight with someone - I keep trying and keep failing.
2. I have a routine of recording my singing infront of my computer. After finishing a bunch of songs, and before heading to the shower, I replay them as loud as I could and laugh at my ‘crying like a seal’ voice. Singing in the bathroom makes the showering more enjoying.
3. You know some kids curiosity is broad and shallow; they ask why at random about everything. At one point, whenever a kid stares at me on a bus, I’d give them the horrible look and silently scream at them like as if they can hear me saying, “I want you to cry. Cry! Pee on pants! Cry! Jump!” I know, I’m bad with kids specially when their parents treat their 3yrs old like an adult. Stop making her look like a teenager please.
4. I like people with green eyes. But I don’t think it can enhance the natural color of your eye if you are Asian, wearing blue contact lenses - it would totally makes you look like a retarded frog. A friend who owns a Pharmacy in the States (and now I wonder if she’s still remembers me) actually sent me 3 pairs of colored-contact lenses too many years ago. I had green, blue & hazel brown. Little did I know that contact lenses easily dries up in the eye after wearing them for about an hour. So I went out wearing the green one. It didn’t looked too obvious even during day time. At the jeepney, it started to get very very itchy (who said it’s painless?) so then I gently squeeze the lens between my thumb and index finger and removed it from my eye. What’s worse was that, I had no dispenser with me so what I did, I slipped it into a page of my book. And the rest was history.
5. I love perfumes, so much more that I love to keep the empty bottles and boxes lined up in my cabinet. I don’t know, it just fascinates me. The tag price? The brands? Or the stylish bottles? I bought one Tuscany and I even had my name engraved on its cap. It still sits in my bathroom.
6. If I know the person on a caller ID, I usually answer the phone “K, speaking, how may I help you”?
Guys, you know the drill. If you want to follow through, taggid!

Very interesting.
thanks for being such a sport, K.
am the other way around, learning a language seems a breeze for me. my husband said that i should have been a linguist.
K, who else would patronize your singing but you. So, I see nothing wrong with recording and replaying your song. I do that sometimes, too, though i recoil at the sound of my voice on tape. It is terrible! Good thing, my children were endowed with beautiful voice.
K, I always think that you are good with kids as evident by the time you and your nephews/nieces spent together there in Hongkong. You made sure that had a great time. But, I agree with you, mothers shouldn’t dress up their kids to look like teenagers.
Those born with green eyes are sure darn lucky. But, you are right, it will not look good on Asian like us. Brown eyes definitely look good on us. Otherwise, baka mapagkamalan tayong engkanto.
I love perfume too, but I always end up giving it away to my nieces, and nephews even my favorite one gets taken away.
Hi Bombshell, thanks - could it be the green contacts?
Belle, you’re welcome.
I am a Godfather of the kids of my brother and few friends. I love playing with kids, kahit makukulit pero kapag malalaki na - ayoko na sa kanila (hahaha). During and after the birth of my first pamangkin, masyado ko atang na-spoiled sa branded kids-clothes. Sarap magbigay ng regalo kapag bdays nila. There’s something in them that I see myself when I was a kid, pero these days iba na ang mga bata esp when it comes to “pointing the gifts they want”. Sobrang mahal ng singil.
i rearrange my stuff every week. that’s a bit weird, right?
i wear contacts, and yes, they’re not advisable for people who tend to scratch a lot. i’d be going back to eyeglasses nga e. contacts and me don’t match.
I have at least 6 open bottles of perfume( paul smith, tomy, cerrutti, jean paul gaultier, puma,…) but I don´t use them to often. Are gifts from the brands to my bfriend and he brings them home, but he also give them to his friends or family.
Val, contact lenses is too incovenient, at least for me it is. Not to mention the agony of cleaning, and putting/taking it off. Since during the time, colored-lenses was a trend, I shooed-in for it. It’s like today’s fashion, you see girls rocking a sweet thong, half jeans. I think for you guys, it’s a group thing. And clothes and shopping is a hobby that comes as a part of natural behavior for women. Agree?
Inthesity, I admit, I love JPG bottles - the designs remained as is, the body (prutruding boobs) bottles can be a display-figurine too.
bad bad boy! ikaw pala nagpapaiyak ng mga bata hah! lol I love perfume,too Not quite sure,if it’s the brand but what I have are mostly from Lancome
I’ve never wear any contact lenses BUT If I’d have to, might as well pick brown color just like the color of my eyes.Katakot green baka magmukha akong pusa hehe
alam mo k, i have a fascination with perfume bottles, too! i think it started with this book i read before. perfume bottle making is an art pala! they really take the best artists to design a bottle, and some vintage bottles can even get you as much as $50k in an auction. sayang nga, my dad had a lot of bottles of perfume (hindi rin niya matapon, i don’t know may fascination din yata siya with the bottles), pero my mom decluttered our home in bulacan and threw the empty bottles away. gosh! baka mamaya we had a $50k bottle in our home and we didn’t even know it (yeah right). hopefully, someone in payatas or wherever landfill would come across and know its value and literally become filthy riche, hehe.
Cheh, I teases kids until they cried. My youngest pamangkin in Bicol who asked me to buy him a bicycle even had to cry like a banshee bago ko bilihin. Saya ko lang. Kasi pag laki nila mahihiya na silang umiyak sa harap ng tao so habang bata pa, eh di paiyakin. Sa ganun, eh maalala nila ako. Panis! Kumusta ka na? LTNS.
Meeya, I think one of my vintage perfume was the classic green “Polo” perfume hahahaha. Pati na yung Brute & Old Spice, tinitipid ko pa yun nung college. Syempre, favourite ko ang Nenuco Cologne, I even ordered it pa from Pinas, sa SM malls.
funny thing K, I used to answer our phone “Malacanan Palace, Presidential Desk, who’s on the line please?” and it always works like a charm.
That kid thing is a classic. though I’m very good at kids but what I hate is when kids whom I do not know from an atom stares at me. You know kids, they are honest. and being stared at by honest people convinces me that there is definitely something wrong with my face. Either it has a black pen mark on my face or a soot perhaps, or myface is just too eerie and scary to behold. darn kids.. LOL
The weirdest one is that I can’t whistle at all
Blue, hanep ka sa introductory greeting mo ah? I used to cheap-thrill somebody whenever they call me. I pretend I am the answering machine, so I talk like a voice-answering and say the “beep” and even before they’d hang up on me, sarap na ng tawa ko.
I encountered people staring at me strangely or even if I’m about to enter a store. Isn’t it rude to stare at someone like as if you have an ick in your face? Dito sa HK people stare at you from head to foot. Nasanay na ako, so I stare and smile back instead.
Ed, have you tried using two of your finger in your lip so you can taxi-whistle? I can’t too. Normally it’ll took you ages so why not buy a blowing whistle like what the cop are using? hehehe.
Now, that six things doesn’t sound weird to me.
Well, hello K… been sometime since I was here. I moved home (still the darn country though) and had been busy. Just got my connection, so there… I’m back reading you. I like the fact that you can still keep up with blogging… you’re admired.
Have fun, enjoy the weekend ahead K.
That’s funny K, what does a retarded frog look like? I like perfume and liquor bottles, but I don’t wear perfume nor drink, if it makes any sense. Conclusion, you’re somewhat weird, but in a funny way, great post…I’m still laughing.
Hi Asha, twas good to hear from you again. It’s weird, you popped in and out like a mushroom. I know you’re a busy mom, isn’t it weird you still have time reading my blog? You’re so kind, thank you.
Ginger (you know everytime I write your screen name, makes me smile). A retarded frog is commonly known as the annoying thing. Like this.
actually, the me-wearing-contacts was sorta out-of-the-blue. it’s another of those “ooops! my glasses snapped and i can’t see anymore” cases. hehehe. i just needed to have my eyes back a.s.a.p. and contacts was the fastest that time. ^_^
Lol @ the perfume boxes.. I have tons too. Not just perfume boxes though.. I hoard all sorts of boxes and other random stuff too.
Contacts can be a pain. I have contacts but I wear them only once a month or so.. I always go back to my glasses.
Val, would you believe two of my nephew’s wearing glasses. At a young age (and I blame Tom & Jerry cartoons for this) it seems like a pain to me whenever I see them doing their homeworks. I also suspect it was the lack of taking Vit C when they were just little kids. Isn’t it expensive to have your specs replaced/upgrade every once in a while?
Bren, I think the daily disposable lenses makes Johnson & Johnson really rich, aint they? Honestly, my eyes are “great”. I can stay infront of a bright monitor for hours (except for the black round bags). Another weird thing I do is to collect tag price from the garments I bought then hang them in my doorknob.
i wear contacts. i never tried anything with color though. but whenever i play sim2, i make my characters with green eyes and red heads. beats me why but i just find the combination very fiery.
maybe i’d try green next time.
With no.5, that’s what my mum does. She just LOVES collecting perfume bottles, but she doesn’t like those original sized perfume bottles. She only collects the mini ones.
Hanne, I think contact lenses was in the ninetees? Correct me if I’m wrong but colored contact lenses are becoming more of a fashion statement for the day than protecting the eyes. For typical pinoys, if you’re wearing the blue, they think you’re a hooker. Ruffa for instance is the ultimate colored contact wearer and it looks good on her I think (or it’s just me?).
Weng, it’s really hard for me to throw them away. Some women are obsessed with makes up so it’s probably alright if your Mom loves perfume.
