25 Random Things About Melai

Because my ever dearest sister malen tagged me, I'm starting a new blog to have a place to respond to her tag.. (see sis, that's how much i love you.. hehe).. Also, i think there are many experiences happening in my life that after a few years from now, i want to read back my posts and remember how i felt/thought then.. So what better way to start a new blog than to write 25 things about myself..
1♣ my nicknames: for family-aileen, for hs friends-melissa, for college friends-melai. i'm actually thinking if i'll develop a new nickname for work

2♣ my family and closest friends are my strength and at the same time my weakness.. i couldn't think of anything that i won't be able to do for them

3♣ i'm spoiled by my older brother and i spoil my younger brother.. fair enough..

4♣ i love my collection of dangling earrings.. though i don't wear them often nowadays..

5♣ i'm gaining weight right now and i hate myself for not being able to overcome food temptations..


6♣ i can even eat a half gallon of ice cream, straight.



7♣ i have a weird collection of things i tried but can't keep on using.. when i was in grade2, i beg papa to buy me an organ.. when i finished grade school, he bought me another one.. then during highschool, i literally cried for a guitar.. used it for one year then i stopped just because long nails and playing guitars don't match..

8♣ lately, i just realized that i'm on my way to being able to open my own gym.. when i first realize that im gaining weight, i asked papa to buy me an abs sculptor, it was so hard to use that i stop using it after one week.. next to that, i again gave exercise another shot by having a threadmill.. for this one, i blame acads for not being able to use it often.. and finally, last december, me and kuya asked a stationary bike for Christmas.. this latest addition to my "collection" is my personal favorite (for now)..

9♣ i used to have my star collection.. talk about my room filled with glow in the dark stars..

10♣ if i will have a chance to study another course, i will definitely study bs psychology.. i want to know why things are happening and why people are reacting in different ways..

11♣ i reward myself after a hell week or whenever i think i've achieved something

12♣ i believe that happiness is the key to success.. you need to be happy in what you're doing to achieve great results.. smiling makes everything at least a little better..

13♣ when it comes to acads, i can be soooo masipag but also soooo tamad.. depends on the subject and sometime on the prof..

14♣ sir quiwa taught me to study hard.. to study reeally hard.. also he taught us the most important rule in programming "resist the urge to code"..

15♣ i miss wearing skirts and shorts..

16♣ i actually hate the question "can you tell me more about yourself"

17♣ i never had a relationship that lasted for just less than a year.. its always, one year and n months..

18♣ i can't live without my cellphone

19♣ i want to learn more about photography.. taking pictures is one way of relaxation for me..

20♣ weird as it may sound, i want to visit all the sm in the philippines.. haha..

21♣ i hate wasting my time.. i hate waiting especially if i have more important things to do..

22♣ i dream of becoming sooo rich that i can retire by the age of 40 and travel to different countries..

23♣ my clothes can be sorted out in just 5 colors: blue, pink, green, black and white

24♣ melai had a hard time thinking about 25 random things about herself
