I've been Tagged! (Re: The Wall of Weird)

Got a meme from my bestfriend ZJ saying that I should list down six weird things about myself. Being tagged is part of blogger's wonderful world. Unfortunately, I don't really have anyone to tag in return. I'll just do the list. Read on...and be the judge.

1. I still watch teen-oriented foreign movies! Can’t seem to get enough of the cheesy dialogue, the “huh? come again?” storyline, the hipness, the all-around young vibe, the soundtrack or lack thereof, and sometimes there’s an unknown newbie actor/actress that’s worth watching. Why it’s weird? I’m not a teenager anymore. Needless to say, I’d rather watch a teen flick and just chill, than watch a high octane movie that’s too noisy/too fast for someone my age.

2. Believe it or not, I have a good singing soprano voice…when I was still in college. Sadly, my singing voice has turned nonexistent because of: lack of practice, vocal chords gone awry, voice has become off-key, tone-deaf. Why it’s weird? If I try really hard enough, I can belt out the Dancing Queen.

3. You can say that I’m still in a time warp when it comes to fashion: I’d rather wear comfy shirts, tank tops, sneakers, jeans, anything comfortable. Could be that I’m just trying to dress “young”. I even have the habit of looking and buying rubber shoes than sandals. You won’t catch me wearing a frilly dress! Weird, huh?

4. When a guy likes me, he’ll ask me out. We’ll go on a date and it’s never followed by another date. After the initial attraction, I think I’m seen as “a good friend” rather than as “a good possible girlfriend”. Maybe this scenario was brought about by my mantra: “I don’t need a man to validate my existence”. Although I know that a special guy will be willing to see what I’m all about. Who knows? Maybe he’ll even love me for what I am. Is it weird that I still believe in happy endings?

5. I can’t swim even if I try. Almost drowned trying. When I look at the ocean, I imagine myself swimming like a mermaid. On my wishlist is to learn to scuba dive. That is, if I get past the fact that I can’t swim.

6. When I eat really hot and spicy food, it’s not a nice experience. My nose itches and I sneeze a lot. Even when I eat a menthol candy. The taste buds in my tongue must have been underdeveloped for the onslaught of anything hot and spicy. Is there a thing called hot-and-spicy-food intolerant?

Weird enough?
