6 Weirds Things About Me

Chats @http://imomonline.net/and Grey Mom @ http://greymom.wordpress.com/ tagged me for 6 weird things about myself. Sorry it took so long to comply for it took me a while to enumerate all 6 of them. I was going to settle for 5 but I thought I would ask my husband for help. Here goes:
- I exercise late at night. I start at 10:30 PM and sometimes it goes until midnight when everybody is sound asleep. Ambience is set to a dim lighting so I will not disturb my husband. Lately though, I haven’t been exercising as often as I used to out of pure laziness
- I use my toe to pick everything off the floor. My husband gets a kick out of it. He thinks I belong to the monkey family. Perhaps, he is right. All I need is the tail to look like one…hehehe. Kidding aside, my toes have amazing grip and are very quick in picking up things. Must be from the experience I got from traversing the slippery uphill trail barefoot when I was a child hauling food for my family.
- I move my feet like a windshield wiper on warm nights to cool my feet off. I learned this nasty habit from my older brother. It drives my husband crazy, of course, so I keep it down to a minimum, or I do it when he is not around.
- My husband thinks that it is weird of me leaving the soap water in the sink overnight after I finish washing dishes. He loathes the idea of having to plunge his hands into the dirty water or sewer water as he calls it the following day when he has to use the sink. Well, the reason why I don’t drain the water right away is because I may have to wash more dishes later in the night, instead of starting a fresh soap water which is not economical. Problem is, I usually indeliberately leave it in the sink overnight!
- My mouth never runs idled…i nibble all day at work. NUTS, fruits, crackers, or whatever my hands can grab onto. Yesterday, i feasted on sweet cheeries while doing my job. hehehe, I just have to make sure there aren’t any tiny bits of food stuck in between my teeth when i smile to my customers.
- I share clothes with my teenagers and vice versa as long as it is okay with my them. If they say it looks good on me, then I leave it on. My younger daughter says just because you are a mom doesn’t mean you have to wear mom clothes. Atta girl!
I am tagging Dimpz, Eden, Maping, Elyani, K, and Joy Joy. Sorry, I haven’t quite mastered the art of linking yet but you know who you are.
Wow! Beautiful flowers in your garden Ate Belle.
You exercise until midnight. Wow? That’s some health dedication.
buti hindi ka tumataba tita belle
ok gagawin ko na po….
ayan madami na akong backlog. the interview meme and this one.
Lovely flowers, belle!
Very interesting list. When you grow up in a place like the Philippines, you always think economical, no?
That’s nice what your daughter said. Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to wear mom clothes. I guess that’s one advantage of having daughters. You get to share clothes. But you know what, I’ve also been borrowing my 2 older son’s jacket, only when I have to go to the corner store lang naman, or taking a walk, or when I’m doing my school patrol duties.
I’m also always munching on something, but usually candies and chocolates. Kaya hindi pumapayat eh. At least, you follow a ritual of exercising.
Very interesting weirdities. And so remarkable that you and your girls are of same size in spite of your consant nibbling. Good genes? efficient metabiolism? Whichever, you’re simply lucky, m’Belle.
you’re not weird, Belle (at least for the toe grip–you are gifted). now i understand how you maintain your figure–you could even share clothes with your girls.
as to leaving the used soap/water in the sink,i tend to agree with your hubby (LOL)!
and hey, i like the flowers in your garden! isn’t it weird, posting flowers, which do not have anything to do with being weird at all, in a “weird” post?
Thanks for participating, Belle. LOL at #2, my BIL calls my niece “monkey toes”. She’s just 2 but she can pretty much do some stuff that monkeys can.
I used to share my clothes with my Mom too when I was a teenager, so I can relate.
Thanks again!!!
first of all congratulations on your brand spanking new home… lovely, lovely, indeed
I don’t know how you exercise that late Belle, I certainly can’t, to each his own, eh…
Belle, hehe..Re: picking up stuff on the floor using your toe? I did that when I was pregnant with my kids because you know can’t really bend
wow! sharing clothes with your teenagers is something. I wish I could do this with my daughter someday
I will try to answer this tag on my blog later this week, thanks!
I like this meme, hehe. The things you learn about other people, eh? How else could we learn about Belle and her mighty-grip toes?!
I envy you, you could share clothes with your daughters. My mom also does that. How I wish, when my time comes, that I’d still slim enough to borrow clothes from my daughter, lol.
hello tita belle! it took me awhile to answer this 6 weird things meme, I can’t think of things that would qualify as weird stuff heheeheh:) anyway, thanks for tagging me.
cool! you can share clothes with your two adorable daughters. I wish that when my daughter grows up we would do the same. And for now Andrea shares with my accessories and she borrows my bags.
You’ve got powerful toes
Number 6 is the weirdest… most daughters would probably balk at the idea of sharing clothes with their mom
Hi Belle! Thanks for playing along. wasn’t it fun??
My feet are quite talented too you know, hehe. But okay, I surrender to yours!
I admire how much you like to exercise. And even your snacks are healthy ha! Kaya naman you can share clothes with your girls. The only way that wil happen to us is if my girls grow up to be BIG too LOL. I hope not.
hi belle,
its nice not to have to bend down to pick things up.
you and I share the toe grip thing
hey i just realized who Lexie looks like…
Hilary Swank!!
Have you heard that before?
Hi Belle. Wow, late night exercise. So that’s one of your fitness secrets. I think it’s so cool that you can share clothes with your teenage daughters. I’m sure you all love shopping together as well.
Hi Belle, I followed through, thank you for tagging.
btw, my mother used to borrow t-shirts from me, she said, mothers needs to follow the trends too (speaking of branded shirt). Gusto nya mga panglalaking t-shirts.
[...] Belle, you know I have done something similar like this before but because my mind doesn’t function quite clearly into blogging these days, I’m honored to share some. [...]
