Another Award

Here's another award from the very deep Abby of Breathing Space (waves!). This award is called the Meme Award. I'm not sure what this implies but I'll go ahead with the rules of acceptance.

Rules of acceptance:
1) Acknowledge the person who sent you the award.
2) Nominate 7 other blogs.
3) Share your 7 personality traits so we can get to know you better.

1. Perfectionist

I’m barely ever satisfied with the things I do, be it writing, make up application, etc., which explains I frequently edit or alter everything that I do. I’m not proud to be a perfectionist coz I’m very much aware that nothing in this world is and could be perfect, which is why I struggle to break free from my Utopia. I have to snap back to reality and realize that things can not be and never be how I wish they would be --- perfect.

2. Workaholic

   

I work 8-10hours a day, five times a week, including holidays. We do not observe Philippine holidays except for New Year, and some religious ones like Christmas, Holy Week and All Saints’ Day. Other than these holidays, I slave in the office together with my thirty something people. And if that’s not enough, I work even when I’m sick. It’s not that I have to, but the fact that I don’t have an assistant sort of compels me to work regardless of the situation.

I also can’t sleep or rest when I know there’s something that has to be done or completed. If I have to skip meals or pull an all-nighter to finish the task, I would. That’s how workaholic I can get sometimes. I rarely put off things, unless it’s something not as imp

ortant or relevant.

Another proof is that I cannot sit still and do nothing. I detest being idle even when I’m sick. I have to have something to do, whether it be work, or in this case, blogging.

3. Headstrong

   

My mom frequently recounts how my dad wasn’t able to convince me to drink juice when I wanted water. I was probably four or something at that time. Mom said I was too stubborn to give in because my dad wouldn’t get me the water that I asked for.

When I know what I want, nobody can convince or persuade me to go for something else other than what I want. I mean what I say and say what I mean. If I say no, I mean it, and no amount of persuasion can make me say yes.

4. Reticent

Contrary to what some people think, I am a very shy and reserved person. I may share some stuff to people at certain times but it takes me a quite while to do so. I also usually keep my comments to myself coz people usually misinterpret what I say and/or ignore what I say.

5. Introvert

   

I love the peacefulness of being alone. Matter of fact, I usually spend my entire 9 or 10 hours in the office alone at my desk, except when someone comes along and decides to shatter my aloneness.

When I attend a party or a big event, I may either discreetly look for someone I know or stay in one corner and watch from there. I don’t usually mingle; I just keep to myself.

6. Sensitive

   

I get affected easily by things that happen around me. I withdraw from something when I’m scolded.

7. Boring

   

By now, you may have already guessed that I’m not the most outgoing person on this planet. I don’t party, I barely go out to have fun, I very rarely travel, I don’t dance, etc. Point in case: the beloved calls me killjoy. He decided to give me his iPod so I’d be “a little bit more appreciative of music” (his exact words). Just some clarification: I listen to music, except that most of what I listen to are songs from the past (think Frankie and the Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, etc), classic tunes, some jazz, bossa nova, ballads and just a bit of R&B. I do listen to some alternative songs occasionally. He, on the other hand, has tons of hip hop and other danceable tunes on his newly purchased 120GB iPod.

Also, my writing is plain and boring. It needs a little kick, a little bit of spunk, a little bit of flavor. I guess my personality reflects in my writing, eh?

The seven lucky ladies are: (drumroll)

Golden of One Proud Mom, One Proud Wife
Shobe of Your Little Beauty Bag
Louie of I'm Uber Feminine
Jing of Girl With Glasses
Amy of Amy Naree
Ida of Naturals and Minerals
Donna of My Lucid Intervals
