This may come in late but I have a very good excuse. I swore not to blog in my Holidays and that’s what I did. You may check all my blogs to see that there isn’t a single post from 18th December to 7th January. Now, I don’t normally reply to tags but before you judge me of being a snob, please let me explain. I get tags every now and then but for me, most of them just seem pointless. Tags and memes make our blogs look the same. They make us talk about the same thing, they make us pass the same awards and so on that for me that is just so lame. But when Kate of Live of of the Box tagged me, I promised myself that it would be one of the first things I’d write about after my Holiday hibernation from the blogospheres because her tag is different, it didn’t ask me to pass an award or something like that instead, it made me think hard…i’d even say, it made me search my soul…about these six things that most people don’t know about me.
I hate having to stand up in between sleeps (who doesn’t?!?) to pee or because I am hungry or simply because I cannot sleep. So for me “jetlag” equals to “hell”. It is just so bad that I have to go through it like twice in every three months.
I hate the taste and smell of almost all kinds of alcohol. I can take a gulp of beer, a few sips of wine, and I actually like the smell of malt wine and ice wine. I also like liquors because most of them are to fruity and too sweet to taste the alcohol in them. I also do drink cocktails but they must be also heavily flavored otherwise I just wouldn’t drink them.
I warm up to people easily but I lose interest in them just as fast the moment they said or did something that directly or indirectly offences or hurts me. I know how unfair I could be… you don’t have to tell me.
I see shopping as a very stressful activity. I don’t do it just for the heck of doing it. I do shop when I think I need something but it is not like shopping is some sort of therapy that brings me relief. Not all girls are alike when it comes to shopping… I am a living proof.
I used to join beauty pageants. (iwwwww!!!! how rural!) With the height of 164cm, I am considered tall in the country where the average male height is 164cm and female, 155cm. it didn’t matter that I am not that beautiful… my height and some make up were enough. People said that it also helped that I am thin. (Yeah right!) I was too thin and curveless that I had to wear inch think pads to create an illusion of full breasts on my flat chest. Oh, the pain I had endured! Imagine your boobies pulled to each other and taped together to create a cleavage!?! Yeah… I know. I still have nightmares about it. Now that I think of this whole beauty pageant thing, I wish I hadn’t joined any of it just for the very simple reason that it is so not me and those series of beauty pageants didn’t really contribute to anything I am today.
I can write in cursive backwards so that you need a mirror to read it. I don’t use this kind of writing often, only when I am super bored. I started practicing when I was in my teens because I thought it is kind of cool but later realized that it is such a useless skill.
So those are six things about me that only a few people I know know. Now, allow me to pass this tag to these lucky bloggers….
1. Ruthi of Carpenter’s Wife Toolbox because you know you’d be the first one I’d tag and that is simply because “close tau eh.”
2. Angel of Pages after Pages because we’re thirsty for your post. It’s been a looooong time…..
3. Evelyn of Sterndal because you’re such an easy-to-like blogger.
4. Abby of the Journal Logger because I honestly would like to know more about you.
5. Francine of La Place de Cherie because I really appreciate it that you pop every now and then to my blogs.
6. Liza of Moms…Check Nyo.. because I do read your blogs even if you probably never heard of me. 
And of course, here are the rules of the meme and I just copied these from Kate’s who copied it from Sal’s (Kate and Sal, hope you don’t mind).
1. LINK TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU
2. POST THE RULES ON YOUR BLOG
3. WRITE SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF
4. TAG SIX PEOPLE AT THE END OF YOUR POST AND LINK TO THEM
5. LET EACH PERSON KNOW THEY ARE TAGGED AND LEAVE A COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG
6. LET THE TAGGER KNOW WHEN YOUR ENTRY IS UP
Goodluck!

hi vienna! thank you for tagging, syempre hindi kalabisan no, kaya lang nagawa ko na to, hehe. i’m glad you’re finally able to open my blogspot.
and who says you’re not beautiful? you are beautiful!
hey liz, naks naman… salamat sa papuri…
at sa pagdalaw.
at about the tag, i understand kung nagawa mo na ito noon at syempre don’t need to do it again.
thanks ulit ha.
Since I do serious shopping like once in every three months, I also view it as very stressful. I don’t see how it can be therapeutic. I used to join beauty pageants too but when I was a kid. Back then, I when being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said, “A nun.” I had no idea what that was at age 6.
Oh and like the part about the boobies!teehee.
Salamat for participating Vienna. And I agree with Liz, ang gando mo no sa header! Model ka talaga. Ingit ako sa height mo kc shorty ako. Oh, and I’ve been watching those making-a-blog site video tutorials and I think I’m getting the idea of (FTP) Hindi na siya Fernando Tito Paquito. I sent you an email about it sa gmail cuz I hope to launch the site this month but just tell me anytime you’re free kc alam ko nag-enjoy ka sa the holidays with ur hubby dubby.
ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS!
hello vienna,
thanks for the tag!
wow! beauty queen
kahit hindi ko na manahin yung ganda mo, basta manahin ko na lng yung husay mo sa pagba-blog! hihihi
thanks again!
P.S. Dapat ba pare-parehas tayo ng title?
@sterndal, thanks for dropping by…
hindi naman required na dapat pareparehas ng title. ikaw na bahala sa title.
cheers!
hello vienna,
done na pow!
thanks a lot!
Hmmmm. I am a beauty queen in my own right din… Muse-musan ako sa grade school kasi close ng nanay ko ang teacher at mananahi siya so libre na ang gown… sagala din ako lagi, of course dahil mananahi si mader… pero joining the beauty contest… di ako puede… first… height… bagsak na ako. secondly, di rin ako kaseksihan at kagandahan… and lastly, ayokong matalo so never akong sumali dahil alam kong talo ako…
Ok… gawin ko ito pag may time na ako… as if… bisi-bisihan ako eh. Take care…
Neng… tag ka rin… hahahaha. iba naman ito medyo cute.
Hi Vien,
I just read your post about the tag thing. Appreciate so much for the interest, thank u so much. Let me go back to you again once I get home. I do often sneak peak to BLOGXI as part of other routine in the office..hihihi. Pampaalis ng stress at work.
This post sounds fun…..
God bless Vien!
