rachael with hat (please don't take)

...a little about me. it took me ages to come up with a hundred or so things about me. finally!

* im twenty something. doing nothing. master of none.
* i am currently in between everything. law-school, photography and life.
* i have a running list of things i want to do and places to go before i die.
* i have a tattoo. in red. lower back. i hope to get more done but hubby wont allow it.
* i am a mirror of what you are to me. if you think im bitchy, it's more than likely you were a bitch to me, too. if you're nice, im nice. i just give back what i get. 
* im a walking collection of paradoxical qualities.
* i love tinkering with photoshop but even after hours of trying everything, im still a novice to almost every technique there is.
* weird quirk: i do not just let anybody carry my things, even if they're heavy. you have to be someone really important for me to let you carry my bag.
* i do not know how to pack light. in trips i always tend to bring so many stuffs i do not need.
* i love the scent of fresh sheets. especially when they're sun-dried.
* i started reading pocketbooks when i was 10. got initiated with sweet valley twins, then graduated to sweet dreams. now im done with all the lovey-mushy teen stories and crave for murder and mystery.
* i am a klutz. i drop and spill things. and try to clean it up before someone notices.
* i am easily bored with everything. but i can go for hours at a time doing nothing.
* i have a knack for starting things i cant finish.
* i pick my nose in public when i think no one is watching. classy, i know.
* procrastination has always been my favorite trait. i am pretty sure i have mastered the art.
* the belief of supernatural evil is not necessary. i believe man alone is capable of every kind of wickedness.
* this is the only time i will admit this publicly. i.♥.korean.drama. they make you laugh and cry at the same time. but i do not like the filipino-dubbed versions of these tv series. id much rather read the english subtitles.
* on days when i need a lift, i turn off the lights in my room, close the curtains, turn the music so loud, and dance till i can't breathe.
* if i could pick any US State. my first choice would be Chicago.
* i sing in my head, lipsync in my car, pretend im this famous singer who can hit all the right notes. i am a frustrated singer. but i have given up on this dream ages ago. i still reminisce on it though.
* when im in the shower, i act out an interview with myself in the future. like im this somebody who's opinion everyone wants to hear.
* i easily get addicted. one time, i played
diablo for 24 hours  straight stopping only for pee-breaks.
* then i got hooked on friendster. i used to stare at my profile for hours at a time and tried to tweak it so many times that i dont even remember how it looks originally. now, my friendster is neglected and looks like crap.
* i also got addicted to css and html. i downloaded, printed, bought manuals, and read every tutorial there is about it. (i still cannot get it)
* when i was in college, people thought i was studying engineering instead of finance. maybe because my friends were all engineering students.
* i would be willing to save for a year, scrimp on everything. and blow it all off for tickets to watch
dirk nowitzki play. it would also be a huge bonus if he creams steve nash's arse in the process.
* i used to love
A.I., but now dirk is my man.
* i want to collect snowglobes.
* i do not like to be made to feel guilty about something you think i should be feeling. and because of that instead of actually feeling guilty i become annoyed and irritated.
* i watch figure skating competitions on ESPN and pretend that it's me dancing on the ice.
* sometimes i have last song syndromes that last for weeks. they only stop when i put that song on repeat the whole day.
* i have high tolerance for pain. i can stand almost every kind except toothache. im a sissy when it comes to that.
* i am scared shi*less of dentists.
* i am an insomniac. i cannot just lie in bed and fall asleep. and it usually hits me hard on nights i need to wake up early the next day.
* when i try to sleep, instead of counting sheep, i count the billions of dollars Donald Trumps is going to leave me in his will (we are not related by the way). think of ways to spend it and before im done with all the spending im sleeping like a baby.
* i hate cats. and i firmly believe the feeling is mutual.
* i am a cynic. i doubt every little sentiment. but deep down im a hopeless romantic.
* i have seen all episodes of all three C.S.I.'s and so many medical detectives, law and order, forensic files and crime movies that i truly believe i can commit the perfect crime.
* i get pressured by peers into doing things i used to firmly disapprove of. im a people pleaser. i will have to change that.
* there's a pile of unread books near the tv, they're already gathering dust from the lack of attention.
* i sleep with a pillow on my lower back. pressure there makes me sleep better.
* i am a sucker for helping friends out of a jam, even if it compromises me. i will have to change this, too.
* i spend way too much money on books, dvd's, camera gear, and having my hair done.
* i bawl over sappy movies. sad books and melancholy songs. yes. even a song can make me cry.
* i hate math. algebra, trigonometry, physics and whatever else there is that involves alphanumeric equations.
* i do not like little teensy-weensy hairy dogs. im more of a rottweiler, great dane type of a person.
* i used to have so much hate in my heart. now, not so much. just a little more than normal.
* i am passive-aggressive. i remember every little misdeed someone did to me. i do not forget easily even if i forgive rather quickly. 
* while watching movies or murder mysteries, i get so caught up in trying to come up with a conspiracy theory that i cannot enjoy the movie for what it is. i usually have to watch it again just so not to confuse my theories with the actual plot.
* i used to be a good speller. now because of text-talk, i cannot remember how some words are spelled correctly anymore.
* friends usually take me forgranted. i think that's because they know i will always be there.
* i cannot, for the life of me, sleep on board a moving vehicle. this is bad for trips and long drives.
* i have never accomplished anything i, or anyone could be proud of. i am a loser.
* i have 3 piercings on each ear, i think they're still ok, but i havent checked them recently.
* everyone i love has gone away. died. or left. or forgot to stay.
* i have learned not to expect anything from anybody. less disappointment. better for me.
* i like taking pictures. but hate it when my pictures dont turn out as i expected.
* i have a scar on my tummy. they call it a c-section.
* i am selectively obsessive-compulsive. im a perfectionist on some things and a slob on others. 
* i write my lj entries and check it four times before hitting post, then read it again and edit if i find something not right.
* even if my room is a mess, i have a system -- it's called organized chaos.
* i like the british accent. it sounds soooo sexy! i am planning to brainwash my kid and make him learn english in that accent.
* i can memorize a standard provision of law in 5 minutes. 15 minutes max. my record so far is: 56 provisions from the Family code in 3 hours. i aced the quiz the next day. i dont know if i want to go back to law-school.
* i do not know how to play politics or suck up to people. that is why i am never the teacher's pet.
* i will admit this only once. i sometimes use how i look to get what i want. like be the first to be served in a bar full of people ordering drinks. get more discounts in shops with male attendants. shallow? superficial? yep. = me
* dirty toe and finger nails are a huge turn-off for me. so are halitosis and underarm odor.
* i am a fashion victim. afraid to try new trends. i stick to what i know works for me, even if i know they're outdated. somebody give me a makeover!!
* i rarely ever let my guard down. there will always be a wall between us. you shall not enter.
* i love getting gifts (who doesnt?!!) more than i like giving them.
* i have my tea with two tablespoon of sugar and one-fourth cup of milk.
* instruction manuals confused me. im more of a you-do-it-ill-watch type of a student.
* im really bitchy when im hungry. lazy when im full (they call that the swine syndrome). and cranky when im drunk.
* i have a sick attraction to the scent of a new car. gasoline. fresh paint. and cigarette smoke. (but i dont smoke). maybe i was an addict in my past life.
*
ive always wanted to be that girl with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.
* i like my chocolates dark and bittersweet. i eat it by peeling the wrapper, putting them in a bowl and melting them in the microwave. 
* i am sometimes indifferent to other peoples pain. i have enough of my own to worry about.
* i am carrie in sex and the city.
* eugene young from
the practice, is the person who made me want to become a criminal defense attorney. i have wanted to be a lawyer since i was in 4th grade.
* i am looking for the dvd release of the practice. i will gladly spend all my year's savings just to get all its seasons.
* there was a time in my life when i had high tolerance for alcohol and i never get drunk. now, i almost always puke after every night out.
* i easily get disappointed. and when i do i usually do not want to have anything to do with it anymore.
* i have never tried illegal drugs. the only substance ive abused was alcohol.
* i think the more people talk about racism, more racists are born.
* people are who they are, not because of their race but because of their experiences in life. i believe it should not matter whether im black, white, yellow, pink or green. color does not affect how you act, just how people treat you.
* i believe in karma. what you give is what you get returned.
* when im craving for a certain type of food, i can eat it all week and still want it.
* i like strawberry shake. i dont like the eating strawberries.
* coffee makes me sleepy and milk wakes me up.
* i have bought clothes that i have never worn and probably never will.
* i cry all the time at almost anything sad. im a crybaby.
* im never lucky at winning anything. lottery, door-prizes, even in-house poker games. im never lucky. period.
* i used to hate the color pink, now almost everything i pick out comes in pink.
* whenever im irritated or irked, i put up this imaginary wall, and i will not talk to you, not until i feel like it. this wall can last for days. even years.
* i firmly believe God does not indorse tv evangelists. especially those who sell their sermons to little old ladies living off their pensions.
* i have tried to dye my hair in almost all the bright colors. red. blue. green. yellow. and purple.
* if i live in America, i will vote for
sanjaya. totally love that hair. 
* i believe beauty magazines promote low self-esteem. with all their skinny and pretty cover models, who they make you believe are ordinary teenagers. yeah! right. 
* i drive like a maniac. but i have never been in a car accident. not yet, anyway.
* i am ever changing. like the weather, a moment so sunny then dark in a blink of an eye. i might like something today and hate it tomorrow. enjoy it today and be bored with it the next. i have a short attention span that needs to be attended, else ill go psycho.
* i am usually dyslexic with numbers. i interchange them almost all the time, that's why i quit working at the bank. so many transposition errors.
* sometimes i get so weird, i even freak myself out. (that's an avril song) <-- i have moments like this.
* there are days, when i feel lke im just going through the motions in life. so jaded from everything else.
* i want to learn to speak fluent japanese, korean and mandarin before i die. german, french, and italian, too.
* i dont like boats. they remind me of the titanic and i cannot swim.
* im always happy when it rains. snuggling under the covers or reading a book.
* im slightly claustrophobic.
* i am often stereotyped by narrow minded people.
* im not where i thought id be by now, but maybe that’s a good thing.
* i am a techno-geek/addict. i make it a rule to buy at least one gadget every year.
* i am pro-choice, in everything; only because i don’t believe it’s my place to judge you.
* i am not a people person. i have poor social skills. id rather be a wallflower than entertain you. 
* i am a packrat and it doesnt help marrying into a family of packrats either.
* i believe religion should not be forced down your throat. it is a choice and a commitment to live up to that choice.
* but religion does not save you. faith does.
* tears watered my eyes when former president joseph estrada was ousted as president.
* i think the only effective way to deal with freeloaders is to stop giving them free stuffs.
* i was the prom queen my senior year in high school.
* people think they know the real me but actually they do not. they just assume they do.

behind this angry mask,
my hidden fears...
dont lift this laughing mask,
you'll see my tears.
