Hello there. Here's a VANITY POST featuring 20 FACTS ABOUT ME. I was tagged by my friend Chexy in Facebook. However, I don't want to post these facts there. At least here, I know that only few people will read this... and most of them are strangers which I really prefer.
20 FACTS ABOUT ME:
- I AM A HOBBYIST. I am not a professional artist, but I do enjoy doing anything related to arts. Painting (acrylic, oil, watercolor), sketching, drawing. I am into arts and crafts. I know how to sew, do some crochet, make accessories. I am a DIY person. I can make something out of trash or garbage.
- I LOVE MUSIC. I grew up listening to The Cranberries. Their song "Zombie" was my favorite when I was in Elementary. I had a 10 year love and hate relationship with my guitar. I can sing and dance... somehow. I can play guitar... somehow. I am not good at them, but I CAN. I write songs sometimes. I love writing lyrics... it amazes me how I can incorporate my "Collections Of Words" into a song. I sing them whenever I feel blue. Music is part of me. I love Metal, Alternative, Goth, Punk-Rock, Grunge, Screamo... INDIE.
- I DON'T LIKE STEREOTYPICAL THINGS. Everything that's in Fashion or Fashionable does not impresses me. I always try to choose my own style. I don't want to be a PHOTOCOPY of everyone else. I am ME. I love being myself. Mainstream things are not for me. I like wearing clothes that are different from others. I like listening to unpopular, but cool songs. I like unique and strange things.
- I LOVE THRIFT SHOP. I'm a Thrift Shop Addict. I know that some of you may find it "GROSS" because I buy second hand things. It's just that, I like old things owned by other people. Why? Because each thing that I bought from Thrift Shop has story of their own. It's like getting to know other people without really seeing them... I only feel them. However, some of the things I bought were branded and "like" new which is really cool.
- I LOVE OLD THINGS. Yes, like Thrift Shop, Antique Shops are my Paradise. Every time I go there I always feel so relax. The smell of old books, old CDs, old furniture, old things from glassware to chinaware makes me happy and ALIVE. Some of them are owned by other people from different countries and most of them are damaged, but for me damaged things are more attractive. Why? Because it gives them character; every crack, every stain, every imperfection... gives them the UNIQUENESS that I always look in EVERYTHING.
- I AM LOYAL. If you are my friend, then you already know this. I am a LOYAL FRIEND. I love my friends the way I love my relatives. For me, they are my family. For someone who doesn't have siblings like me... having a friend is really a blessing. I have many experiences of having FAKE friends and FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. Although it always gives me heartache whenever a friend ignores me and treats like a piece of "SHIT"... I will never plan a REVENGE because they've been good to me... at least.
- I AM NOT EASILY ATTRACTED TO MEN. Being bullied in the past made me a MAN HATER. I am doing my best to change this character, but for some reason I always find it hard to be attracted to men. They might be good looking, tall, rich... but for me PERSONALITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Physical appearance depreciates, but personality stays consistent... well at least. When I like somebody, my eyes will always be on him. I usually ignore other men whenever I am attracted to someone.
- I AM A CLEAN FREAK. I like cleaning a lot. I always look forward to weekend to clean my room and organize my things. I just HATE seeing disorganize environment.
- I LOVE SNEAKERS. Aren't they the most comfortable foot wear? If I have to choose among all footwear... I'll still choose sneakers.
- I AM SHY. Bingo! I am. Really. You don;t know how shy I am until you get to know me.
- I ALWAYS TALK TO GOD. I may not be the most religious person you'll ever met. I don't go to church that often. Believe it or not, I have a Journal where I write things that I want to talk about with God. I've been doing this since high school. It helps me a lot to be at ease because even if I cannot see him... I always feel that he's with me and that I can always talk with him.
- I PREFER OLD MOVIES. 1918, 1922, 1938, 1943, 1968, 1975.... I collect movies from these periods. Black and white movies and classic beauty are the best!
- FRUITS AND VEGETABLE; NO PORK AND BEEF PLEASE. Correct, Pork and Beef will give me heart attack. Every time I eat them... I feel like my body is so DIRTY. I am sorry, but I prefer CHICKEN.
- I AM A TEA-HOLIC. Any kind of tea... GIVE ME.
- I DON'T DRINK SODA. My body is 7 years free from SODA. Can you do it? I dare you.
- CANDY OVER CHOCOLATE. If you want to cheer me up, just give me candies. Don't give me chocolates... I don't really like it.
- I HAVE A VERY STRONG SELF CONTROL. I can control myself. Temptation is NOTHING TO ME... well, most of the time.
- ASIAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURE. Are my current addiction.
- I LOVE NATURE. Anything that is clean and green; with flowers, windy environment with yellow orange lightning. I am so in love with nature.
- I LOVE GIVING LOVE AND CARE. Some say that I am too self-less to the point of I have nothing to give to myself. Others are always on the top of my list that I sometimes forget myself.
Have a nice day everyone!
Sincerely,
Erica/Erix
