I'm joining the bandwagon! Haha...Well, I'm really only doing this because (1) I can't sleep yet and (2) I want to know how many I can come up with & how good my memory is! Time to dig into my soul!


Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, thoughts, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged – include me in your 25. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you (or I think you'll come up with really entertaining things).

1. The beverage I drink 99% of the time is water. I'm obsessed with water. No soda/caffeine/any other non-water drinks – not even milk (well, not anymore). Juice, sometimes.

2. I love color. My favourite color used to be baby blue, then baby pink, then yellow, then white. Then I realized that I only coined them my favourite because it suits my current mood at the time. So my favourite colour would change constantly.

3. I own a personal blog (http://iamdiandra.blogspot.com) and a photoblog (d-threesixtyfive.blogspot.com).

4. I love summer. Actually, I'd take Spring and Fall too...all three of them, just not Winter! I'd really love to move to a warmer place someday. Seeing the sun shine makes me happy. :)

5. My childhood was filled with happy/fun and not-so-fun memories: I used to thumbsuck until I was like...7 years old? I used to be an "outdoors" girl, spending most of my time outside the house, like on the streets of my old neighbourhood.

6. I'm obsessed with stationary/office/school supplies. I have several colours of Post-It Notes. (I♥Post-It's!) A LOT of writing pens (not just any kind, I get really picky). Different kinds of paper that comes in different colours as well. Markers. Highlighters. And such things...

7. Since I started university, my schedules started to become hectic. I'm very obsessed with organizing and planning, so I always carry around with me a planner (and I get really picky with my planners too). I have a couple other planners/calendar/to-do lists like the whiteboard (white calendar and note area) in my room, the calendar in my laptop, and of course, the good old cellphone (although I use that one the least).

8. If I can build up my confidence real quick, I would love to take on the challenge/opportunity to work abroad for a year after I graduate.

9. When I was in Grade 8 (the first year I arrived in Canada), we did spelling quizzes every now and then. One time, we were asked to spell some word like "colour" or "flavour" or "neighbour" or something like that; some word with "ou", but I spelled it differently since I was so used to following the American spelling and not the British. So instead of "colour" I'd just spelled it without the "u". I ended up losing a mark because of this and it really upset me.

10. I LOVE listening to music. I don't really have a favourite artist/band. It all depends on my mood that day. Although I must say that recently, I haven't been updated with new music. I have a lot of "oldies but goodies" songs. My dad's a music junkie; he sings to many songs - of course most of them were from his "time", and not surprisingly I acquired his taste in music. Barry Manilow, anyone?

11. Now that I realize it, everything seems to be controlled by my mood.

12. I'm really not a perfectionist as this list may imply. I just get really picky with certain things, like things that are important for me.

13. I always turn on my CD player at night before going to bed to accompany me in my sleep. The two most played CDs are: Kenny G's "The Moment" & Jim Brickman's "Faith" - both instrumental.

11. I'm really not a party girl. Sure I'll go to parties, but I'm more of a laid-back person. Lets say, instead of going to a club to dance the night away, I'd choose to go to a lounge/piano bar/bar with a live band.

14. I looooove food! I'm really easy to impress, especially if you know this fact! Ian is expert in this!

15. I sometimes wonder if someone out there is also thinking of what I'm thinking at that current moment I'm thinking this thought. (Ummm...anyone?)

16. There was one day in my life that I actually thought I was dying.

17. I get easily distracted. I don't even like studying at the library...it's way too distracting for me. Or maybe it's just my school library? Who knows...? But I love studying at the comforts of my own home..or room. And no – I don’t have ADD.

18. I like taking photographs. I aspire to be a good or better yet, excellent photographer. I want to photograph weddings someday as a sideline. I've seen other photographers' portfolios and they're amazing! I just want to be like them...Capturing special moments. :)

19. I love sour candies. I love sour belts, sour patch kids, sour gummy bears, sour gummy worms...except sour keys - they're really hard to eat!

20. I spend a lot of my time on my laptop. I love surfing the net. I have several folders for my "bookmarks" because whenever I see something interesting or worth referencing, I won't hesitate to click the little star on the browser's toolbar.

21. I don't fit the sterotypical girl in terms of considering shopping as a form exercise. I mean, of course who wouldn't love shopping? Maybe if I was richer, this would change. But right now, I only go to the mall if I really need to buy something. Fine...sometimes I browse around, but only for a little bit. Sometimes I don't like shopping with my mom because she goes through every single store....and it takes forever to finish the mall!

22. Ok, I love reading...BUT I have this thing where, if I was reading a book, a particular paragraph/sentence in the book and I "accidentally" skimmed through or missed a part of it, it instantly makes me feel anxious, and so I have to read the whole line/sentence over again until I have fully read the whole thing. Phew! I wasn't usually so obsessive about this, until...I don't know? a year or two ago?

23. I love watching the shows in Discovery Channel. It's my favourite show/channel in the whole wide world! Especially How It's Made and Daily Planet.

24. I used to have asthma attacks when I was a child. Fortunately, it withered/slowed down & I haven't had any flare-ups since then (thank God). But when I saw a respiratory specialist recently, he told me I have to be on medication for THE REST OF MY LIFE to control/manage my chronic illness. BOO.

25. I'm as random as this list can get.
