People who get tagged need to write a list of their own 6 weird things in their blog as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I think I developed a skill of sleeping while standing. Just acquired that when I used to ride the MRT from Taft to Quezon Avenue for my 7am class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I can make my ears move at will. (Isn't it amazing? ^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I'm allergic to beer. The last time I had was when my high school buddies and I went on an outing. The next morning after the long night of drinking (and immersing into the pool) I got a lot of red spots all over my body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I love ampalaya. Many people may not like the way it taste but I love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Sometimes, I am losing my sense of left and right. I even need to raise my hands to distinguish which is left and right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. My average distance I walked everyday would be 5km. I prefer walking than taking jeepney especially when I'm not sure where to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll just edit this out later for the names of bloggers I will tag.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25168260501176405-7383980654957584105?l=halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/feeds/7383980654957584105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25168260501176405&amp;postID=7383980654957584105' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/7383980654957584105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/7383980654957584105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/2007/09/tag-tag-and-tag.html' title='TAG...

We need to go to the Lower Penthouse and so took the elevator. That really took a long time 'coz we had to fall in line just to use the elevator because of high volume of people going there that day. And so, when it's our turn to use the elevator, it was really full-packed that the elevator operator had to step outside and give the seat for me. And then I said to myself, "Does this mean I'm the operator now?".  Wow, that would be challenging for me to have a job like that. I magine, I have to stay there for 12hours* pressing the elevator buttons. It's just between me and the elevator. I wonder how these guys manage to defeat boredom.

My &lt;em&gt;barkada&lt;/em&gt; has been pretty busy with their work and school projects, they couldn’t find time to fit me into their schedule. Not that I’m complaining; I absolutely understand. It’s just that the thought terrified me because I’ve always held up the belief that if ever I grow up without a partner, I’d be able to depend on my friends for company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I don’t think that will hold true. These friends of mine don’t even have relationships yet, and still, they’ve been so busy.

That was the disgusting trip I've ever had. Aside from the fact that the bus really stinks, it was so old that it may self-destruct when you give it a slight nudge. To add more on my suffering, a man sitting behind me lights a cigarette. What the hell is he doing? Does he know that it is prohibited to puff a smoke inside a public vehicle? Grrrr.... He puffs smoke as if he is holding a cock ready for arena fighting. I can't tell him that 'cause I don't want to be scandalous.

Circumstances I can't do something about. I feel frustrated and helpless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grew up doing things not because I really want to do that or the initiative comes from me. Things were imposed on me. I was passive and dependent. So all that I did was to do the "better". "You should do this because this is better" or "This should be the good step for that" or perhaps, "Don't do this because what do you think will the people will say if you do" (a logically invalid reason I think). . . blah blah blah. I grew up living to expectations, trying to please everybody. Now I realized I was pathetic. What were I thinking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it would be more satisfying on my part to accomplish things because it is not imposed nor dictated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got to do something. I need to decide on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for me being so emotional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for being genuinely receptive of me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25168260501176405-5997874661532990320?l=halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/feeds/5997874661532990320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25168260501176405&amp;postID=5997874661532990320' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/5997874661532990320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/5997874661532990320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/2007/06/i-just-got-to-blog-this-time-because-of.html' title='Emote'/><author><name>benjie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05336333617036117695</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25168260501176405.post-7276350320121223769</id><published>2007-06-24T02:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-11T22:31:07.385-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miscellaneous'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:MS Reference Sans Serif;&lt;br /&gt;font-size:140%; &lt;br /&gt;font-stretch:semi-expanded; &lt;br /&gt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has been my first attempt to spill out my inner self through blog. This is getting to be exasperating for me. I am not a writer but I love to write (not so frequent, though). Hope I can manage to tweak some settings here even if I'm not good when it comes to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life has been so boring. I still don't know what to do with my life. I wish mine were as interesting as others. I'm sick and tired of routines, of redundancies, of complacencies. I want to do things I haven't done. I want to be independent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25168260501176405-7276350320121223769?l=halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/feeds/7276350320121223769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25168260501176405&amp;postID=7276350320121223769' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/7276350320121223769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25168260501176405/posts/default/7276350320121223769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://halfwhitelighter.blogspot.com/2007/06/this-has-been-my-first-attempt-to-spill.html' title=''/><author><name>benjie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05336333617036117695</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
