Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

Tag fever indeed-dey, my third installment. Well, Cheh of Knee-Dah-Lens Dee-Yaz-Len told me to do these difficult slash hard slash confusing slash complicated me-me. It took me ages to understand the simple instructions, so I end up creating a low quality picture (somehow, intentional) of my Face Behind This Blog. I guess many of you have been flickring my likeness on my flickr account so picture this, a blog with a self-portrait of the author (no pun included there) means, you enhance your credibility by the simple fact that you’re not trying to hide. It connects to the virtual and physical worlds. I mean, I don’t mind putting pictures of myself here and there. Remember that people who’ve met you before will recognize your photo, and people who’ve read your site will recognize you when you meet in person. Don’t you know a huge percentage of the human brain is dedicated to remembering and recognizing faces? As for me, faces works better than remembering names. Ok, I am not arguing here, it’s your choice. I respect those who prefer to remained to be anonymous. It’s only a simple matter of trust.

This is going to be long (arrghhh, this entry will definately screw up my theme). I’m giving you infos about what I love, hate and wants – an abundance of complete and utter crap about my life. This was from my 100 Things that you never really needed to know, but I had to shortened it.

One a.m. onwards is pretty much the time I feel about myself. I’d like to stay late online until around six a.m., that is if I am not working the next day. I never have a car, hence I hate being controlled by machines. I am bad with money, so I don’t save. I seem to be unable to pay my bills on time and I don’t know how to balance my checkbook. I was raised Roman Catholic but still doesn’t remember how to pray the rosary (bless me, Oh Lord!). I love singing as much as I love dancing. I am a wannabe writer,I love to write with a dictionary to correct my grammar & espleing. See, I just did. I admire British accents. I use and practice them a lot. I wish I was an English. I’m small, 5′4″. But my heart is bigger than my head. Awesome, huh? I hate those moles in my face, people recognized me easily. Some says, it’s bad luck but I believe in destiny, my mother says it’s cute. There are days when I don’t believe I will get better. I hate politics and politicians. The world is already too complicated. It took me a year before I finally get my residency in Hong Kong and I regreted to work and stay here. So why am I still here? Ok, I’ll ask myself about it, later. I imagine myself the most popular star in a comedy sitcom. I have what is commonly known as ‘temper’. I easily connect with older people. For me, they are the good example in the society (sorry for my younger audience). I graduated in Nursing eventhough I’m scared with diabetic patients. I always take pictures of myself but never likes to share them to anyone. It would appear that I’ll be the only person that appreciates it. So here I am sharing my moles to the world because it appears that I am the cutest person you have ever seen. My ass makes me smile every morning because I’m butt-ugly. I wish I studied in Manila so I would never feel out of place in my batch. That writing these lists makes me wanna puke. Yet, I’m so grateful that He gave me this life that I am now having.

Update: More photos of me, of course.

Ok let’s do the drill:

1st step- Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already show a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.

2nd step – Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference. A link back to this post is much appreciated, to help create a more personal community!

3rd step – Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.

4th step- If you link back to me here, send David an email. He’ll add you to the list. This isn’t absolutely necessary but it does help one to keep track of the collection. Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.

Oh man, I am not gonna do that. If you want to see who’s in, you may proceed to David Airey for the complete list. I am not sure if this is the best idea. But no way I am going to cut and paste all the links here (forget trackbacks and pings), it’s as if making me feel I’d taken a dose of Fukidol tablets. Apologies.

Addendum: I think it’s not fair if I don’t put all the links of those who participated. I gave it another try. What I did? I went back to David’s site, highlightened those list of names/blogs and peek-a-boo on the source code (thanks Safari). It took me five minutes. Aba, nadagdagan na naman ang knowledge ko?.

So ta-ta. Just send me a note if you want your link to my list.
