Lucky Seven

My blogging buddy Claire has tagged me weeks ago and I've promised her that I will have it posted as soon as possible. Since it's long been overdue from when I made that promise, there's no better day to fulfill it than today--a boring Friday of nothing else but with a laptop and some music. So here's what I owe my darling friend--a great tag of seven things.....

Seven Things That Scare Me:
1) A broken heart
2) Strange men without a car in a gas station at 2 in the morning (what do they do there?)
3) Sparks on my electric range when I turn it on
4) Toaster popping at the same exact time that I was reaching for my coffee mug in the cupboard that is above the counter right where the toaster is.
5) Burnt party foods when there's nothing else to serve and no other time for a plan B
6) Strange vermin in the house--rats mostly
7) Losing a love one by death or any kind of default.

Seven Things I Like The Most
1) Great TV shows
2) Good conversations
3) Weekends
4) Coupons of any percent savings
5) Cream on a coffee or a hot chocolate
6) Good pop music
7) Great novels

Seven Random Facts About Me
1) If you can't make me laugh, then you are hopeless because I'd laugh at almost anything.
2) I can spend 6 hours in a day cooking, 4 hours reading a novel, 2 hours listening to music, 8 hours sleeping, and 4 hours wondering what to do with it. That's my typical weekend.
3) I have very short eye lashes that never curls even with all the mascara and eyelash curlers in the world.
4) Europe fascinates me.
5) People fascinates me.
6) A butter-dish fascinates me.
7) I'm easily fascinated.

Seven Important Things In My Bedroom
1) My bed
2) My laptop
3) Seven novels in my bookshelves (I should've just named them to complete this list)
4) With that note, my bookshelf!
5) An organized folder of all my medical records
6) CDs and every form of media players
7) My closet and everything in it.

Seven Things I Plan To Do Before I Die
1) Take a stolen picture of the Sistine chapel (cameras are not allowed there, I'm told)
2) Snorkel in the Great Barrier reef
3) Visit my grandparents' graves in Canada
4) Eat sushi in Japan
5) Write a book
6) Get a kiss in the rain
7) Be able to say "I'm in love with you" to someone without hesitations

Seven Things I Can Do
1) Blog....hah!
2) Befriend an oven, or fall in love with a kitchen
3) Roll with "the boys"
4) Translate Filipino to English...or vice versa
5) Sign (language) the alphabet
6) Recite the alphabet backwards in less than 5 seconds
7) Roll my Rs ("rrrrrrrr")

Seven Things I Can’t Do
1) Built a high alcohol tolerance
2) Finish a cigarette
3) Reach high notes when singing
4) Leave my emails un-checked
5) Leave my cellphone at home when I go out
6) Find the right pair of pants (never short enough. Never.)
7) Ditch the lotion completely

Seven Things That Attract Me To The Opposite Sex
Their......
1) ...intelligence
2) ...passion for life and people around them
3) ...respect for women, friends, family members, and even strangers
4) ...goals (if he doesn't know what he wants to do in life, chances are he won't know what to do in a relationship)
5) ...dedication in everything they do
6) ...discipline (bar fights are totally un-sexy)
7) ...good sense of humor

Seven Things I Say The Most
1) "Hey!" (natural greeting!)
2) "Okay."
3) "I guess"
4) "Son of a _____ [fill the blank]!" out of frustration
5) "What are you doing there?" to my pets
6) "I already gave you food!" to my cat, who never leaves me alone
7) "F@$%!" Again, out of frustration.

That's nine sevens of me in a nut shell!
