Yeah, Agnes just tagged me to do this meme and I decided to play along. Again. Just to test my creativity hi hi hi...
1. I don't use perfume. No, thank you very much. Perfume is EXPENSIVE. I prefer deodorant on my armpits. I'm happy with deodorant and the price is pretty reasonable.
2. I LOVE Claude Monet's paintings. Breathtaking!!! I used to have a THICK book of his biography PLUS paintings in smaller sizes of course. I used to LOVE gazing at some of my fave paintings in the book for minutes on end. I LOVE being transported right into his paintings, to places I've never been. ;-D
My fave paintings of his are: The Rouen Cathedral, Manneporte (Etretat), Boats and Regatta at Argenteuil, Japanese Foot Bridge at Giverny, The Magpie.
3. I'm not a really perfectionist or diligent housekeeper. I leave the bed as is (read: in a state of disarray) without trying to make my bed every day. Hey, my hubby doesn't complain and I don't mind! ;-D As a matter of fact, I should start cleaning up the house again today (dusting and sucking all the dirt with a vacuum cleaner)!!! HI HI HI HI...
4. Since moving to Finland, I shower only every other day. My mother asked me about this the other day, wondering how often I showered here. My brother thought that I must've showered once a week only. Bad boy!!! He's SO naughty!!! LOL!!!
5. I shave two parts of my body every single day (I don't need to tell you which, right?) *wink* I like it that way, cleaner and nicer for me.
6. I LOVE getting a massage. It's SO relaxing, addictive, and it's such a treat for me. My hubby and I went to a spa in Bali to get a full-body massage (our beds were arranged next to each other) and it was SO heavenly. So if we ever go on another honeymoon, I'll make sure I include a massage he he he...P.S. I know that not everybody loves a massage 'coz a friend of mine doesn't. She says it tickles her, so she doesn't enjoy it hi hi hi...
7. I used to dream of being a writer someday. I started writing on some stories already, but I never really finished any. Lack of discipline or something. I found that once I reread the story I'd started writing, it sounded awful, so I never finished any of my stories.
8. I don't like wearing dresses or skirts too much. I'm a jeans/pants girl. When I'm in the mood, I sure do like to dress up and put on some make-up, but ever since moving here, I prefer wearing pants, thank you very much, especially when it's COLD out there. I've also started going out WITHOUT make-up here since it's too impractical plus I have to buy new ones regularly. Can't afford THAT, plus my hubby likes me this way. ;-D He calls make-up "fake-up". But I'm sure there'll be moments when I feel like putting on some make-up someday...Hey, I'm still a GIRL even though I'm a tomboy, I have my GIRLY moments too!!! ;-D

Tagged Once More! LOL!
Angela May tagged me to share 8 more things about myself, but I won't tag anyone else he he...
1. I HATE Tweety. I hope Sylvester eats him alive. Sylvester's SO CUTE!!! Well, I once saw an episode where Sylvester did eat Tweety, then there was another bird to subtitute Tweety, but I don't remember well anymore what happened next.
2. My Dad was introduced to my Mom via a friend. They dated for about 6 months and then decided to get married within another 6-month-period. Dad was 34 years old and Mom was 32 years old when they were married.
3. I was born exactly 10 months (to the date) after they got married, so I can remember their wedding day so easily. ;-D
4. When I was a kid, I was sort of my little brother's protector. Back then he was so small (boys grow up later than girls before teenage years) and he cried a lot, so I was his Xena. *tee-hee* OK OK, it's a hyperbole, but you know what I mean. ;-D
5. I once saw a halo in the sky when I was around 10-11 years old. Back then I didn't know what it was, but it just looked SO lovely. A HUGE ring in the sky at night. Ahhhhh...I still remember looking up for a LONG time that night and felt amazed.
6. Once I went to the next alley to do something (I'd always lived in an alley all my life before I moved here) during the night when I looked up and saw something that was as big as the moon and was as bright and round as the moon. However, I noticed something different. I stopped walking and the round object moved SO FAST in the sky!!! I ran home as I was SO scared (I think I was around 8 years old back then). I knew the moon couldn't have moved that fast!!! Until now, I don't know what it was. Will someone enlighten me, please? ;-D
7. One time I was so head over heels with someone. I called him almost every day just to talk about anything. I wanted to get to know him SO badly. I was obsessed!!! I kept talking about him to my female friends hi hi hi hi...Yep, girl talk!!!
8. My longest phone record was a 5,5 hour non-stop call. I remember when I made that call. I just came back from Finland in 2004 (my first trip alone to Europe), so I had to call somebody to tell her EVERYTHING about my trip. I ended up calling one of my closest friends and we talked THAT long (until almost dawn). *tee hee* Only after that did I unpack my bags and sleep. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! ;-D That's what friends are foorrrrr...LOL!!!

Tagged! Again!
A Cowboy's Wife tagged me to write 8 things about myself. However, I won't tag other people as I've seen too many people getting tagged. I've already posted random facts about myself in my earlier post, but I just want to know how far my brain can go in this post.
1. I dislike chocolate mixed with any kinds of nuts. The nuts get in the way. Yeah, it might sound silly, but that's how I feel. *grin* Basically I'm not a "nutty" person. LOL!!! I like mint chocolate, but my fave type is DARK chocolate (esp. after reading that it's good for your heart). Yeah, I can't stand too sweet stuff. Why? Because I can't eat too much of it he he he...LOL!!!
2. I can swim, but I'm afraid to swim in deep places. I can't do it "doggy style" (you know what I mean, swimming while standing). I have to have something to hold on to. I only began learning to swim when I was around 13 years old.
3. I can't stand round-round-round motion. I get motion sickness easily. So basically I can't enjoy LOTS of rides in amusement parks. *sob sob* If my head gets dizzy due to the round-round-round movement, I'll definitely throw up. *sob sob* I once read that people who are prone to motion sickness have too sensitive eyes - eyes that are too sensitive to motions. Once I watched a show on a dome ceiling. They show beautiful videos of nature, but I couldn't stand it. After a while, the roundish dome made me feel sick. Crazy, isn't it???
4. I'm also prone to sea sickness. I can't stand the waves. When I went to Bali with my High School classmates on a Senior Trip, we took a bus and then the ferry. Everybody else was having SUCH a GREAT time watching the sea and waves. However, I gazed at the waves for only a minute or two and I started to feel sick. Yeah, that's how bad I am. How did I manage to survive during the 30-minute ride? I sat on the chair and closed my eyes the ENTIRE trip. That helped. A LOT!!!
5. I'm not a beach person. I dislike sand getting stuck on my feet and legs. I dislike the balmy wind. I dislike having a cold bath and the next minute you feel sticky again.
6. One of my biggest dreams has been fulfilled: now I live in Europe. LOL!!! (for some reason since I was a kid, I was totally drawn to Europe)
7. I used to be a pessimist and a cynic. Cynicism is still a latent enemy of mine that sometimes rears its ugly head, body, and tail to mock me. Pessimism? I think I've overcome that, at least 99.9% of the time, THANKS to Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking he he...
8. I HAAATTTTEEEEE cockroaches. UGLY, YUCKY creature!!! Gladly there are no roaches here he he he...
