Sooooo, I am back! I was thinking of a topic because I noticed I wasn't creative because all I am doing was a life update which I bet most of the visitors I have doesn't even know me personally. So here it is!
WARNING: Some of the items below are really personal. And touching. Please do not share on social media. This is my biography. I will publish this in the future. You'll be surprised by how much copy of this book my editor will produce. Consider yourself lucky for reading this first in this blog. (Self-righteous-bitch-right-there. High-five!)
You are probably here because of three things: first, you accidentally clicked the link to this site because you googled "Dora the Explorer" because a little girl you know, perhaps a daughter or a small niece is looking for a game called "Find Dora's Backpack" or whatever. Or just a wallpaper because I don't know. Two, because you are sooooo curious about my identity. Like, I know she's from Marcomm and I know her name is Di but what the hell. I always see her passing through the hallway every single time even without business in that department and three, because I always invite people to attend someone else's party even if the party isn't mine. So yes, I've been known now to host a merienda, calling colleagues from different departments kahit hindi naman talaga ako ang bumili ng food. Or inviting people to attend after-parties. So yes, that's three things you should know now about me. Haha!
4. I realized I am a cat person - i love their jelly-bean-like paws and the way they curl their arms in front when they're lying down. Also I love the sound of their puuuuurrs. Loooong puuurrs. So soothing and super cute! And I have a tendency to be like a cat. I purr. I rub my face into someone else's arms or cheek or neck. Or walls. Or chairs. Sometimes on the oven when it's still warm and shit -- no. I love their shape. And they're not as rowdy as dogs. Ayoko pala ng mas magulo at mas maharot kesa sakin. I would choose cats because they are usually quiet and sweet and sometimes an asshole. And they purr.
5. I have problems showing how affectionate I can be - because one, I am not the person who will say you're beautiful because again, I would show it in a totally different and weird ways. Some of my closest friends know about this. I would pinch and give super tight hugs, biting (borderline tearing the skin off, zombie-like gigil) or face mashing. You choose. If you're lucky, you'll get all of the above. Or more. Depends on my mood. Haha! On a serious note, I find it hard to say how much I love a person or even my family because it's too cheesy for me to handle. I can't get it out of my mouth, I have a tendency to get frustrated because there are things now that I find soooo hard to say or do. (Sometimes, swallow)
6. Masungit. Moody. Super quiet - yes. So extreme, sometimes people wonder if I am really capable of love or what I just said above are true. Ofcourse I do. It's just that I am a fragile person. Super sensitive and sometimes distant. I stay away from drama. I don't like watching drama. I don't like to cry. I don't like watching drama-heart-warming family/relationship movies because it makes me cry. Like a fucking infant that is. And I don't like it. It makes my heart ache so much, I would carry the pain for a week. But I love my family in such a way I would rather die for them than to see them suffer.
7. I love peanut butter. Lily's in particular.
8. My birth name was Baby Girl. But it's all fixed and I think I am lucky than that Drink Water boy from Rated K. I was also given a name "Diana Tinapay" by Faye because of the common "Diana Marie" name and I totally hate it. She made fun of me one time, she told the cashier at a Japanese self serving restaurant my birth name and when our food came out, they called Baby Girl like, three times! The staffs thanked Baby Girl for dining with them hoping for a return business but no thanks! Hope, fart you. May trust issues ako ulit.
9. Jetlagged -- fucked up sleeping patterns. For real. I i wake up 10AM on a weekend. Sleep again at 12NN. Wake up at 3PM. Feel sleepy at 6. Sleeps at 7:30. Wake up to go to bed at 8:30 and sleeps. Wake up at 10:30PM and stay awake until the middle of the night. Fuck that right?
10. I am an inconsistent badminton player. Sometimes I am good, sometimes I am not. For realz. Ask my friends.
11. Introvert - Super extreme. I still get stressed when things are getting out of hand. I have a capacity of up to 4 people maximum on a group. Avoiding human interactions or cry when things are too much or when I am super tired. But really, you just let me be. I don't really want you to care if I am angry. You just let me be. It will subside eventually.
12. I am not a gift giver. I must warn you that. I also do not appreciate gifts much. I posted about this some years back (here's the blog post about it) My love languares are quality time and acts of service. I would appreciate hand written notes, cut out letters and anything you made out of your bare hands. It makes me cry. I don't care how dirty it is. With that being said, I would rather take you out on a movie. A dinner, a staycation, an out of town, watch theater plays, go somewhere, sleep, or watch Netflix, watch the stars at night, talk until we are both sleepy. Laugh until we are both tired of laughing or sit just enjoying each other's company.
13. Most of the people I know says I have a strong personality because I know what's right and what's wrong and would argue (and get frustrated eventually) if you don't agree with me. Hahaha!
14. I let things happen now because I know things aren't controllable - they aren't since the beginning. I just made myself believe that I can avoid bad stuff from happening if I control them. Fact is, I can't. Ever. It's my way of blocking pain and it didn't help. At all. No no. Sooo i let things slide now and it's been easier.
15. Ive been wanting to buy a video game console but there are three things preventing me from buying: one, electricity is expensive and two, I need more sleep and I also need to work! Like I have a real life you know.
16. I still browse from Z to A. Or from the bottom to top. Or far right to left. Is that even normal?
17. I pray out loud (like, talk alone) because I find it hard to pray without typing or writing them down.
18. I am a certified Interior Stylist. Graduated from School of Fashion and Arts (SoFA) with horrors! 😆
19. I mentioned from way back that my nephew thinks I am three years old. My boss thinks I am autistic. That I am the pinakabatang isip. Considering the youngest in the team is 21.
20. My dream is to wear a navy blue tie with expensive tie clip in the office.
21. I dig suits now! I should've worn those sleek son-of-a-bitch power suits when I was in my previous company.
22. I swear a lot. Because it helps me manage stress. I dont mean any of those curses but this article thinks I am HIGHLY intelligent. Yeaaaah. It needs to be justified.
23. I love We Bear Bears!!
24. I use even numbers because I think they're pretty. No. I use even-number-sized fonts. Kerning and tracking are also even numbers. I cringe when I end a numerized items in odd numbers. Point-fives are exception.
25. I don't like going to hospitals. Or clinics.
26. I think I have super powers. Like telekinetic stuff. Kidding! Half meant! Kidding! No. Half meant! Kidding!
