Some random things about me

07 17, 2012

Subtle pink.

Do you like to know more about me? I’ve had this saved in one of my drafts. I finally hit the Publish button. ▲

  • For starters, I’m a bit wary on doing more personal posts. I really admire those people who share most of their deeper personal thoughts online. Sharing is not that easy for me. To tell you the truth, I have a hard time listing random things about myself for this post.
  • I have never learned how to ride a bike. I’ve included this in my list of things to do before I die. Seriously. I think there came an opportunity or two (or three) in the past wherein I could have learned how, but… I’ll try again.
  • I want to go to school again. And I will most probably go for Programming (my first choice), and Graphic Design. It’s tough being a nurse. There’s a very slim chance this will happen, because this means quitting my job, and start spending again on tuition.
  • I’ve never been out of the country. There’s major wanderlust when browsing over gorgeous images of Ireland’s mountains and beaches. I want to go to Ireland.
  • I’m an only child. I like it, but it gets boring most of the time which makes me wish I have a brother or a sister instead and a big family in the future.
  • Besides having fear of heights, I also fear public speech. My hands get clammy, my pulse rate increases. I could hear the lub-dub of my heart. I have had enough of these while in nursing school, but sometimes in life, some situations call for a speech. Fear of speaking in public combined with difficulty in sharing things about yourself could turn out to be ugly.
  • I think I cry too easily in movies, especially the happily ever after romantic movies. I’ve cried buckets with Titanic, and I swear I’ll never watch it again. Although I love dogs, I’ve skipped watching Hachiko, since I know it could be something like My Dog Skip – heartbreaking.

I hope you’re having a great week! ♥

    Posts like this are great. I love having the opportunity to find out more about a person. I really hope you can go back to school. Are there any evening classes you can fit in around your current job? That might be a good place to start and if you like it/take to it well, then you could take the plunge.

      Hello Michelle! I don’t think evening classes are more my style, but I will give it a thought. My hospital work sometimes requires a bit of extra time, so… I am usually a bit tired after work. ;(

    I love reading about these random things about you. I don’t think you’ve shared too much but I feel like I know just that little bit more about you and who you are. I cry easily too at movies, I’ve been known to sob even when i’m watching something on a little airplane screen. But i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that!

    You don’t have to be afraid for the world to get to know you! I loved reading these random little facts about you.
    I live in the Netherlands and you might know, everybody bikes there. To school, to work, to the shopping mall. I bike for three quarters of an hour to get to school. I sometimes bike one and a half hour to get to one of my friends. Maybe that’s a bit long, even for us, but biking is very common here! I can’t imagine someone who just can’t bike…! But it’s okay though, you don’t live here :’)

    But it’s always so nice to read personal posts about bloggers, we can identify more with you now :) I’m with you on the Celtic wanderlust, Ireland looks so magical. I’ve been once but it wasn’t long enough to see what I wanted. Difficult to catch Ireland out of the rain but here’s hoping!

    This is a sweet post! It’s nice to see you sharing personal stuff. We all need to let things out and set your minds free from mess and fuzz.

    this is a great post Arvee. I never learnt to cycle either, though my parents got me a cycle when I was 10 or 11, I felt I was too old by then as all my friends had learnt.
    I really hope you can go back to school soon.

      We’re never too old to try and learn. Although, I think I’ll probably need to find myself a less public place for the biking lessons to save myself from humiliation. ;)

    I really like reading your posts and the picture is so beautiful! I wish I could visit Ireland too, my favorite poet is Irish so…

    I actually just stopped by to let you know I have tagged you for the Liebster blog award xx

    Well, I do live in Ireland so I hope to meet you soon here!

    Oh my heck, I don’t know how I stumbled upon your blog but I think we’re semi soul mates! :) I am also an only child and where great things about it but it’s a lonely life. Not one I recommend to other people. I also don’t know how to ride a bike! My husband keeps telling me he’ll teach me but to be honest I’m a little freak out to try now. I’d also love to go back to school. Masters in Art History or something with English. Someday, right?
