My cousin, Weng, and blogging friend, Nell, tagged me with this Meme. The instructions are simple:
Link to the person that tagged you. Post the rules on your blog. Share six unimportant things/habits/quirks about your self. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. Let these random people know that they are tagged by leaving comments in their blog. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.
Okay *Keith: deep breath,* here is my list….
1. I love cutting the ingrown nails of my big toe and letting it bleed. There is this weird sense of pain and pleasure that I feel whenever I do it… sadistic tendencies, I guess, hehehe. What is more weird is that after a few days, my big toe swells with pus that walking becomes very difficult, not to mention very painful. Once everything subsides I enjoy pulling of the dried skin from the infected area… oooh! so gross but sooo good!
2. I love pouring soup over and/or mixing food (i.e. corned beef) on my rice. This is the way to eat good food and enjoy it. Keeping the plate orderly with certain sections assigned for each viand is just a bore. Give your mouth and stomach a break and make it easy for them… just mix, chew and swallow… end result will all be the same, promise!
3. I organize myself by keeping all my credit card slips in my wallet and matching them when the statement comes. What is so quirky about that? Well, I seldom get to match them so you can just imagine how thick and messed up my wallet can be. To tell you the truth, I have more useless paper in my wallet than money. I must say, though, that a thick wallet helps give that impression that I have a lot of money inside it or, at least, that is what I think it does.
4. I am a sucker for any drink smothered with crushed ice and flavouring… anything colored blue, green or red will definitely catch my attention. Yes, I love these drinks whether it be under the hot summer sun or even cold and wet with torrential rains. Fruit shakes, Quickly, Zagoo, Pina Colada, halo-halo… name it, I’ll drink it!
5. The first time I moved to Dammam, I shared a flat with my office mate. I did not have too much things except for a few office clothes and only one set of bedding. Okay, I’m pretty sure you have a weird feeling where I am leading to. Yes, for the longest time (i guess two or three months) I did not wash my bed sheet because I felt that, if I did, I would not have any spare bed sheet to use (grabe sa excuse no?). I relied purely on my wife’s quirky “pagpag” method, which, to be honest, worked for me at that time. Bed bugs? Well, let’s just say they were kind to me… or was so replused by my “cleanliness” that they went somewhere else… hehehe!
6. During any trip (long or short), I can not pack my suitcase in advance. Pressure is something that gets me going and without it I am like an engine that just ran out of fuel and refuses to move. 24 hours is enough time for a long trip… one or two hours (tops) before I leave is perfect for a short vacation. Yes, I often leave a lot of my stuff but, what the heck, packing my luggage would not be as fun if I got everything covered, right?
So there, I’m pretty sure sharing these to you did not help a bit in keeping my “pretty boy” /”boy next-door” image intact. Gosh, how does Pinky take all these quirkiness… well, let’s just say, I guess she really loves me.
Okay, I tag anyone who loves making their big toe bleed… come on, there must be someone out there who loves it the same way I do. Please…. please…. please!
