    wow! 11 pages and counting, people really do love talking about their favorite subjects (including me) THEMSELVES! :)
    1.) i'm left handed and left footed yet have diabetes related blindness in my left eye, OH the irony!
    2.) it took me 13 years to get my bachelors degree...i took a 7 year break in the middle of going to college to work.
    3.) I spent the summer of 2006 in Beijing China and traveling throughout...no eggrolls and the kung pao is better here i though :-)
    4.) I started a business in 2008 and it was relatively successful for it being our first year, but 2008 was also the year the economy tanked...and so did my business :(
    5.) my personal philosophy is to do right is more important than being right.

    1. I am a walking contradiction. I can go target shooting with my dad one moment, and do nail art on my mom the next. I can spend days playing Metal Gear, and then spend the next days watching make up and hair tutorials on YouTube.
    2. I can speak 2 languages fluently (English and Filipino), 2 dialects fluently (Ilonggo and Sapianon), and understand and can speak a little of 2 other dialects (Aklanon and Cebuano).
    3. I am freakishly scared of heights, but I stupidly still do stuff sometimes, just because. Cable car, Space Mountain, etc.
    4. I love the beach, but I am not a good swimmer. I just like being there. Kinda ironic that I grew up 10 minutes away from the beach. I would hang out at all the beaches in the world - if I had the resources.
    5. I have never fought with my boyfriend due to jealousy - almost 7 yrs and counting.

    Love all these random facts! :bigsmile:

    1) Hate shoes and the only time they are on my feet is if I'm walking outside or in to a store or if my work CEO is in town. I do wear socks though, in deference to those with feet issues.
    2) Played the flute for 4 years and the piano for 8 years as I child...I can now play neither, which is just a darn shame.
    3) Traveled a lot growing up and have been to 37 of the 50 states and the eastern part of Canada. Would like to add the other 13 at some point in my life.
    4) Have developed a theory that solid objects have a magnetic pull on my body, as I walk into walls/door jams/desk corners/file cabinets/etc. at least once a day.
    5) In school <way back in the day> excelled in English and Mathematics and hated History and Science, and am now absolutely fascinated with both History and Science.

    4. Been married 4 times. After 3 divorces you have to look at the common denominator and re-evaluate. I realized I was an @sshole.

    NOW THAT is an honest appraisal..................not that I'm agreeing, cuz I don't know you, but.........well, you know what I'm sayin'

    LOL.
