my fifty addictions and then some more

readers beware, with this post you get to know me better. not that it's a good thing.


1. the internet. no questions there.

2. photography. my friend lulu hated it so much when i took random pics with her camera that i finally decided to buy my own so i can take pics of whatever and whoever whenever i want.

3. food. yes. obviously im a food addict. i have to try everything at least once. the grossest thing ive ever eaten? raw sea urchin right out of the shell, spike-shell whatever you want to call it. they just put something on it then cheers! took it like a shot of tequila.. no wait, tequila tastes so much better.

4. the beach. im totally obsessed with the beach, going to the beach, the smell it leaves on your skin, sunscreen, sand, sea shells, starfishies, snorkling, whatever it is associated with the beach. back in the philippines, i made it a point to go to the beach every summer (and in the philippines it's summer all year long). i love the beach so much that before i left the p.i. i begged my mom to take me to bora one last time to say goodbye to one of my favoritest place on earth.

5. water. well, this is a new addiction. since the new year 2005 i've resolved to stop drinking soda or anything sweet and carbonated. so since then, i've been a water person.

6. taking a bath. im one of those people who never get tired of taking a bath *whew* in the philippines the most showers i took was 5 in one day. here, even during winter, i HAVE to take a bath at least twice a day. when i get up and before i sleep. i can't sleep unless i shower.

7. spongebob squarepants and patrick starfish. i have to get my daily dose of them or else i'll lose my sanity.

8. food network. if i had tivo, id tivo the whole thing.

9. the gym. another new addiction. i make it a point to excercise every morning before going to work. if i wake up that is. which brings us to my next addiction ...

10. sleep. never ever ever ever ever wake me up when im sleeping unless i told you to do so the night before. i get uber cranky and i'll be the wicked witch of the west the whole day if i have one hour less sleep than im used to. well, exceptions to the rule, you can wake me up by kisses, hugs and touch touch and i wouldnt mind. just as long as you're the guy im with and you're willing to follow through.. if you know what i mean *winkwink*

11. movies, movies, movies. dvd, vcd, vhs, betamax, on demand, big screen. all forms of movies i like. from the stupidest thing you've ever seen to the stuff that make you, well me, cry.

12. cons. i started collecting cons all star since i bought my first pair of pink chucks back in 2002. now i have 6 pairs and counting.

13. im a packrat and i like to collect, keep and hog keepsakes. im a very sentimental person. the oldest letter i have in my collection is the one from my very first boyfriend. it was a sweet and short i love you and i miss you written on a page torn off a math notebook (it was like graphing paper). the only person i dont have letters and pictures of is my last ex. i was that bitter. i even tore up almost all of his pictures of us before i moved out of his house. he was a packrat too. asshole.

14. ym, aim, gmail, yahoomail. only way to communicate with people back in the philippines. calling them can get so expensive. (ira = cheapskate)

15. (darn, im only at 15?) google picasa. awesome. unless someone shows me a better picture-fixer-organizer-sender-it-all.

16. text messages. not anymore tho but i was very addicted to sending and receiving text messeges before. mapamparamdam kung buhay pa.

17. PDA in decent amounts. a lot that is and only if it involves me. not the tongue sucking, feel-up-the-shirt or up-your-skirt pda. i like kissing, hugging, holding hands, protective hand over the shoulder in public. so sue me.

18. blogging, blog surfing, blog lurking. new addiction and im enjoying it. thanks carlo for pushing and inspiring me to put my thoughts into words. or whatever. :D

19. coffee coffee coffee. hot. cold. with icecream. with milk. nonfat. 2%. with cookies. with a straw. but always with sugar.

20. iced white chocolate from starbucks. tastes like melted white toblerone. yum. too bad wala dito nun.

21. mp3's but only when someone downloads them for me. when asked what my favorite songs are, i can only think of a couple off the top of my head. zero - smashing pumpkins, bullet with butterfly wings - smashing pumpkins, oasis' songs and then it stops there.. hmm.. i better lay off the alkeehole.

22. one of my old addictions is talking on the phone with cha. our phone conversations were endless and an hour felt like 15 minutes. too bad it costs 10 dollars to talk to her now for an hour. we now settle for aim.

23. i dont consider myself an addict on this but when im with someone, i like to manifest my love for him if you know what i mean.

24. hentai. don't judge me! haha.

25. grey's anatomy, scrubs, friends, that 70's show, will and grace, carlos mencia and everything else that makes me laugh. life is always better after a good laugh.

i'll do part two when i think of the other 25 :)
