10 unusual things about me

i don't usually entertain taggings. but since kuya joms tagged me, i'll consider him as an exception. and since i have already posted such topics before, i am just recycling it once again to be consistent and to save time as well for i don't really have something to post about at the moment!

10. i have a habit or craving of biting and crushing cotton seeds inside pillows. even if the pillows are not ours.

9.I have an unusual obsession of buying rims of white paper. then scribble just anything into it, crumple it and then throw it a way. up until now, i really couldn't explain why i am doing it. probably, its my version of stress releaser.

8. i have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night. just to look outside of our window, without really looking for someone and something.

7. my doctor prohibited me from drinking alcohol (obviously) and sodas, smoking (another given thing), not having sleep for more than 6 hours, getting stress, wearing clothes other than cotton and eating chocolate, fish and chicken due to allergies.
then i just asked her if i could just drink a bottle of liquid sosa instead.
all of these (aside from eating fish) spells my life. nonetheless, like most patients, i am still into all of these.

6. i can chew atleast two pieces of siling labuyo without drinking any fluid.

5. i am haematophobic (fear of blood), coulrophobic (fear of clowns) and nyctophobic (fear of darkness).
i literally faint whenever i see blood other than mine.
i cannot sleep with the lights turned on. but ironically, i have difficulties of breathing and also uncomfortable not seeing just a spect of light if it is turned off.
don't be surprised if you don't see me eating at mc donald's. simply because i have an unsual fear with clowns. just mere looking at ronald mc donald, regardless if it is a statue or a mascot, gives me the creeps and makes my sweat glands dripping in no time.
probably because i always thought that a smiling clown are hiding or up to something not good and would always get me. special thanks to stephen king's IT! argh!


4. when i was a kid, i could not eat without having the same pair of spoon and fork. i would even look for them in the kitchen before i could begin eating.

3. whenever i am forced to wash my clothes, what i do is: i soak my laundry load for a day with a pack of detergent. then, i gather a part of each piece and spin them for 15 minutes counter clockwise and another 15 minutes in reverse. this is my own theory of a manual washing machine.
and by the way, even before downy launched its isang banlaw formula, i have already been doing it. hahaha.

2. never ever as in, never sleep beside me. aside from the fact that i kick and hurt the person sleeping beside me. i also unconsciously harass them PHYSICALLY.

photo taken from one of drinking session at a friend's rest house in batangas.

in which another drunk blockmate still insisted sleeping beside

the rather tired from work than drunk me

after being warned by blockmates.

the good thing was we both couldn't remember what happened.

but the entire block made a laughing stock out of it

and this photo is one of the probably hundreds of evidences

of this very embarassing moment.

1. i have a long scar on my left knee because of sleep walking.
yes, you heard it right, i sleepwalk. but this is not only an ordinary sleepwalking case.

usually, i sleepwalk whenever i get a fever higher than 40.
the first incident, i was 6 by that time. after my mom brought me to a clinic, she decided to lay me down on the couch and we slept together there. suddenly, she just woke up in the middle of the dusk after realizing that i was no longer beside her. and what bothered her more was she found the main door of the house open.
after half an hour looking, she saw me sitting on one of the club house's swings---still asleep.

second, when i was around 12, my entire family just woke up after hearing crashes and bangs. when they went to my room, they found me throwing things out of my room---eyes still shut.

third and hopefully the last, when i was 16, i jumped over our terrace that was around 5 meters from the ground asleep. the event left me with a broken patella and an ackward feeling of metal inside my knee until sophomore college.

well despite all of these, i still believe that i am not psychotic. just a bit crazy just like the rest of us. cheers!
