10 Favorite Sensory Experiences

1. Hugs
2. Having my hair brushed or stroked. But it'll feel good with certain people only. I react negatively to others.
3. Back massages done by at Ate Nitz, field interviewer extraordinaire who never fails to make me laugh.
4. The feel of a teaspoon of honey in my mouth.
5. The soothing sight of waves as they come in and out (recede?) and the sounds of the shore: the waves, the gulls, the people around.
6. The sound of Apple and Yam laughing.
7. The whole experience of singing the benediction every Sunday with the entire DCBC family.
8. Joy and her southern belle accent... Or is that soul sistah accent???
9. The smell of freshly baked bread, strawberry wine and babies after their bath.
10. Dancing ballet... Feeling the floor when I'm on pointe... Being attuned to my body... Listening to the music... Feeling the sweat trickle down my back... And the sound of my teacher's voice reciting the steps.

What's This Tag Thing?

Janna tagged me and from what I gather I'm supposed to list 10 weird things about me. Janna, quits na tayo ah? Hehe...


1. I'm a people pleaser and an insensitive person. At the same time.

2. I like treating other people when I'm feeling down because seeing them happy makes me happy too.

3. I want and don't want to immigrate.

4. I danced ballet thinking that I'd injure myself with my foolishness in pointe shoes. But I ended up getting injured while ice skating.

5. I like my ice cream with salt.

6. I wash my hands before and after using the bathroom.

7. Kinikilig ako over the most mundane things.

8. I love watching surgeries but not bloody action scenes.

9. I can't live without white ballet flats in my collection of shoes.

10. I can't for the life of me hold on to a grudge. Even if it means being an embarrassment to womenkind and the rule that we should give the guys a hard time.

I tag Nellie, Joy C., Manders, Mun Onn, Butch, Jojee, Ida, Rina, Omar and LG.
