Eleven.Eleven.

I live for random questions! Because I'm really dilly-dallying from writing my script (due Tomorrow AM!). So I'm taking time out of this busy day to fulfill a promise to my friend Barbie. :)

- Post these rules

- Post 11 random things about yourself

- Answer the questions that the tagger set for you in their post

- Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer

11-Eleven.

1. My real name "Czarinna" is an unusual spelling of its origin- Czarina (n.) - Empress of Russia. I asked my mum why she opted to add an "n", but nonchalantly she just replied "because i want you to be different".

2. I'm not a fan of Bavarian cream filling. I have no idea how it started but I discovered that I cannot stomach it when I was in high school and reaffirmed it when I was in college. Threw up at an ADMU college party once because my crazy friends force-fed me a Bavarian donut. Not cool.

3. I really want to get inked before age 30. I'm sure some of my loved ones frown on this but I believe that this is a decision that one decides for him/herself. I'm thinking of having a peacock "doodled" on my right wrist or something really nerdy on my left inner arm. Heck, I have 5 years to decide.

4. I'm obsessed with sweets. Those who know me really well are already well-acquainted with the fact that I can survive a horrible meal any given day--for as long as I make up for it with sweets. Been off rice for almost 2 months now but I haven't been able to abstain from pastries!

5. I love stars (and starfishes)! Ever since I was in high school, I've grown a fondness for star-shaped anythings. My growing collection includes pillows, ball pens, band-aids, crepe paper, wallets, candle-holders, self-inking stamps, etc!

6. I had this "board shorts" phase in college. I used to want to be a surfer girl (despite not being able to swim) and thus projected this by decorating my room with hibiscus flowers and hoarding beach wear. During my wrestling P.E. class finals, my girlies showed their for me by showing up in board shorts! 

7. I keep a journal. I've been writing on a journal since I was grade 4. I used to have one of those hard bound lock-and-key types when I was a kid-- and eventually got used to writing in the more economical choice-- spring notebooks. Facts: I only write with black ink on Green Apple notebooks! :)

8. I love kangkong-- to pieces! It's my favorite green leafy vegetable. Fried, sauteed, with pineapples, with bagoong-- if it's there, I'll gobble it all up!

9. I'm a huge fan of Children's literature. My bookshelf is 80% children's lit and 20% adult lit. There are deeper lessons learned from reading lit for kids. I believe that we have much to learn from these than its intended audience. My signed collection of Adarna books got water-warped by Sendong (huhuhu) but I'm trying my best to revive that collection.

10. I can type fast even without looking at the keyboard. Super random fact but it's a super valuable skill! Thanks to Typing Tutor in my early grade school years, I can consider myself as a master typist/encoder! Ha!

11. My attention span is so short, it took me the whole day to answer these questions!
