This past week on Facebook there has been a little game going on where you are assigned a number and you have to write the same number of facts about yourself that maybe most people don’t know. I think People magazine does the same thing called ’25 Things You Don’t Know About Me’. I thought today I’d try to do that for you guys about me. If you have been following my blog for some time you know the basics; I’m more of an introvert, I am a cancer survivor, I love lipstick, I love chocolate, I love music, and obviously from my last blog, I love Bruno Mars. So here’s 25 things you may not know about me:
- I will never be a vegetarian, I am a carnivore…I love meat
- I am afraid of lightning
- I am allergic to cats, plus they freak me out a little because I feel like they know what I’m thinking when they look at me
- I’m claustrophobic
- I don’t like bananas (texture thing), but I do like them in smoothies or fried, Filipino style
- I have never felt comfortable in my own skin until now, I’m a dork
- I changed my major three times in college but still graduated in four years-going spring and summer too (music/dance, then business, aeronautical engineering, finally biomedical science/chemistry)
- Took the MCAT and the GRE thinking med school or PhD in Pharmacology. Ended up starting an MBA after GMAT and hating it (sorry for the expense mom and dad)
- I have a dream of opening a small boutique somewhere. I’m sure you can guess at least one item that would be in it. I even already have the concept and name…
- I’ve been in two beauty pageants to help me overcome my shyness, I won them both
- I delivered all three kids with no drugs
- I have kept a journal since 3rd or 4th grade
- Christmas is my favorite holiday but it makes me a little sad because I have memories of my dad listening to Christmas music and tearing up from missing his family in the Philippines (My parents left family and friends for the American Dream)
- I stole something in 2nd grade…guess what it was? A Chunky chocolate bar. Can’t really hide that in your pocket. My mom made me apologize to the store owner and I’ve never ‘shoplifted’ again
- I get carsick in the back of buses, vans, cars, etc
- I love seeing hawks, eagles, butterflies…beautiful things that fly; they just amaze me and look so free
- My parents bought me a car for college but never told me I needed an oil change. The transmission failed at 30,000 miles…oops
- I love peanut butter
- I don’t enjoy cooking but I love washing dishes
- I wrote fan mail when I was young to Joan Jett because I thought she was soooo cool (this was early 80’s, give me a break)
- I secretly love my dog
- I hate cold weather because I’m always cold
- I rarely buy anything full price
- I hate walking into a crowded room by myself
- I love to read and used to read maybe 2-3 books/week. I have not read an entire book since I started playing Candy Crush…sad, I know
Do we have anything in common? Today I wear something I buy repeatedly (which is rare when it comes to lip products); Dior Addict Lip Glow. It feels like a lip balm and when you put it on it basically enhances your natural lipcolor. I love it! It’s me, just better. Cheers!
Anna's Lipstick Journey 
We have very little in common from this list. From other things I already knew, we have much in common.
I did, however, deliver my babies without drugs. It seemed like my only real choice at the time. Drugs have always scared me s***less. I try very hard to find another way.
You secretly love your dog? How? LOL The dog knows, btw.
Yes Jo, I think we share lots in common these days, especially our thought process! I pretend to be irritated by my dog all the time because I didn’t really want another after the previous one died. She knows I love her, she’s always by my side, esp during the cancer days!
Hi Anna, we have a few things in common, I enjoy reading and am still consuming 3 books a week, although i do not like candy crush, lol. I also am very shy and I hate going into a crowded room by myself. I will usually get there early or sneak in along the wall, til i find someone I know.
You’re better off without Candy Crush! I feel the books beckoning…and I also try to get to crowded places early!
