Embarrassing Moment

I was in such a rush to leave the house yesterday because I was running late, that I wasn't really paying that much attention to what I was doing while I was getting dressed.

It was only when I finally got to my destination that I realized I was wearing a pair of shoes that were mismatched!! * gasp! * As in each foot was wearing a shoe from a different pair!! Hahaha!

Good thing both shoes were black and my pants were a bit long, so probably only one person noticed (thankfully, no one commented).

My mom was soooo right when she used to say that I really should take one last look at myself before I leave the house.

Tagged

So much for hybernation...

Rules of this Tag:
  1. Name the person who tagged you
  2. Name eight things about you
  3. Tag six people
Well, here goes...

Name the person who tagged you

Bluey tagged me, and since ang lakas niya sakin, eto ako... ;-P

Name eight things about you

  1. Personality. I am a very private person.
  2. Physical. I used to swim 40 laps a week in the community pool. These days, I just work out on the treadmill. It's less of a hassle.
  3. Peeves. I hate people who focus their energies on bringing other people down, just so they can feel better about themselves. They should either get a life, or go kill themselves.
  4. Pets. I've always had a pet dog for as long as I can remember.
  5. Purchases. I've been planning for six years to buy a new pair of sunglasses after losing my previous one, but I still haven't gotten around to actually getting one. Goes to show how much I don't like shopping.
  6. Penchant. I support the shows I like by writing episode guides. See Qpids and BWN.
  7. Passions. I'm currently addicted to editing Wikipedia pages. Last week, I was so focused on editing a page that when I finally stopped and looked at the time, I was shocked to realize that it was 2am, and I had literally been editing for four straight hours.
  8. Palate. I like most fish (raw and cooked), pasta, most tropical fruits, most meats. I'm lucky to have no food allergies. I don't like ice cream as much as most people think.
Tag 6 people

Hmm.. This one is giving me some trouble. As far as I know, only two people take the trouble to actually read this blog and they're already tagged! haha!

New hobby

I am emerging long enough from my hibernation to share my latest obsession -- updating Wikipedia pages! haha! It's so much fun that I think I'm now addicted.

Some of the Wikipedia pages that I've been working on lately:
I helped out a bit with Bituing Walang Ningning and List of Bituing Walang Ningning episodes, but those pages are still in sad shape and need a lot of work.

And of course, Wikipedia would not be complete if it did not have a page on Carla. haha! :-P

Hibernation Starting

I've been really delinquent with blog updates (stating the obvious ba? haha!).

Frankly, I am toying with the idea of discontinuing further updates to the blog because I think it has already fulfilled its purpose.

For one year (yeah, it's been a year!), I had a little playpen in which to vent, record, muse, and reflect. It's been a wonderful form of catharsis. Blogging made me realize that there's always something new to think about, if you just take the time and force yourself to sit in front of a blank page.

But the blog also has a severe limitation: the fact that it's just sitting here on the Internet, getting crawled by search engines, and potentially being found by God-only-knows-who limits the topics that I can blog about.

So I guess this blog will go into hibernation for now. Should I ever feel the need to vent once again, at least I now know exactly where to go.
