Got this meme from Paolo. I pounced on it because I need to write something outside of my depression. (I'm travelling back to Manila tomorrow. *sob*) Also, when I was in elementary, I had a secret obsession for autograph books. This is like the anti-My Favorites page.
Food: Kiamoy. Or is that chiamoy? I don't like the sweet-and-sour thing. Makes me dizzy.
Fruits: I don't like pineapple on pizza.
Veggies: I only eat munggo when there's a buffer, i.e. inihaw na liempo or chicharon.
People: Stage hogs. These people enjoy the talking more than the listening in a conversation. They are extremely animated when they talk, impressed by their own cleverness. Then when it's their turn to listen, they shut down. Their eyes literally glaze over. However, they're still sharp enough to spot opportunities where they can impose themselves and steer the conversation back in their general direction. The more accomplished ones can even relate to the most absurd situations. Here you are thinking you have a winning story, and apparently it happened to them too. Amazingly enough. These hardcore stage hogs keep gabbing long after even your eyes have glazed over.
Event/Situation/Incident: I seem to reject crowds these days. I don't like going to the mall. I don't relish struggling against the press of a human flood. The noise and incessant chatter annoy me. A crowded place gives me the feeling that I need to rush, that I need to participate in the bustle. I don't like being hurried.
TV shows/Movies: The Cutting Edge 2 (movie). Even if you have a lot of time on your hands, don't waste it on this piece of garbage. I grew up loving The Cutting Edge (Moira Kelly was such a spoiled brat and DB Sweeney was so...barubal. They were absolutely perfect.) and this abyssmal attempt at a sequel is an affront. I'm not surprised it was a made-for-TV movie. I just had the misfortune of running into it while channel surfing. I watched for a few minutes and practically wore out the UP-channel button trying to get as far away as I could. I would rather watch Hard Target (You read right. A Van Damme flick. More on this later.) again than have to sit through The Cutting Edge 2.
Music: I can listen to anything, but I draw the line at commercial Filipino rap. Our mainstream rap artists can't seem to free themselves from their antiquated pattern of a tough guy rapping the verse and some angel voice singing the chorus. They also need to get over being rejected by the same girl again and again.
Household chores: Sweeping. The sight of a broom makes me (s)weep. (Oh my god, sorry. That was uncalled for.) I don't like the dry chores.
Thing/s around the world: Expensive books. I bet they have those anywhere in the world.
Thing/s about myself: I think I'm a little arrogant.
I tag Nicole, Maika, Lei, the wandering commuter Erik, and Aubrey.

I also hate kiamoy but I absolutely love pineapple on pizza. dont like it with bell peppers though.
event? not surprising, you're just getting fed up with the city. You kinda get that after two weeks of living in manila!
No Hawaiian pizza for you? But... but... but the Hawaiian invented pizza!
cutting edge? as in TOE PICK? if you hated that, i've got tons of chick flicks that would make you cringe. mystic pizza, muriel's wedding, fried green tomatoes and who can forget moonstruck?
my head hurts.
@paolo: possibly. that's why i went home :D
@joyfulchicken: i pick the pineapple off the Hawaiian pizza and eat the rest of it :D even the pineapple sometimes...i pick it off and eat it separately. waste not, want not.
@myabstractemotions: yes, yes, TOE PICK :) i love the cutting edge. it's the sequel i can't stand. the one with christy carlson romano.
if i were in manila (soon), i'd be avoiding the crowd too. halo-halo na amoy. lol~
