25 (trivial) Things About Me

1. Having the word 'medina' as my name, I often being asked if I was born there, in Medina. I know it's a way of extending a conversation, but I dislike the question.

2. I'm terribly addicted to caffeine. I've tried to quit in the past, but when work pressure/stress increases, so does my caffeine intake. I'm always looking forward to my morning coffee at the office.


3. Gregory House fascinates me. I like 'broken' men.


4. I can tell when being lied to, I often asked questions to test if the person is lying.


5. I like the word 'zen' and would love to be a zen person, but don't think I'll ever be one, I'm not even 'zenish'.


6. I'm always suspicious of overly nice and sweet people, I'm afraid that they might gave me diabetes.



7. I can walk around the house (even climb the stairs) with my eyes closed.

8. I can crack open a pint of Ben & Jerry Magic Brownies and finish the whole thing at the same time.


9. My parents don't use their last name and so do I. Never know why, but doesn't mean that I'm not proud being an Alhadar.


10. The cruelest kind of torture? Listen to these songs around the clock: Power of Love, My Heart Will Go On, To Love You More (Celine Dion), I will do anything for you (Meatloaf), Boyz 2 Men songs, Mariah Carey songs, Firehouse songs.

11. I hardly ever (if not never) have runny nose (ew!), my great grandmother used to gave me ice cubes since I was 1 month old (bizarre but useful, huh?!).



12. I enjoy singing, even though I'm aware that my friends and family will go nuts listening to me.

13. I've had a major crush on Jordan Knight from NKOTB and Keanu Reeves, not anymore though.


14. I'm afraid of heights, a major weeper when it comes to playing outdoor games.


15. I've only been in love once in my life (I mean crazily-deeply-madly in love), the one that made you do stupid things.


16. Every time I got sick (even if it's only a common cold) I think of dying.

17. I like playing card games (especially troof).

18. I like to cook, even if sometimes they ended up not as I intended them to be.


19. I eat everything - from rice to fried bananas to crackers - with sambal.



20. I don't do mornings. I'm just not a morning person.

21. I like long holidays, but not for my pants. Holidays are bad for my pants.


22. It's hard for me to be close to someone, at first. But once they got to know me, they'll know that I'm not as arrogant as I look.

23. I wish I had Michael Knight's Car (KIT), since I secretly want to crash every motorcycles that got in my way every day on the road (without getting a single dent). They are really getting out of line, both in numbers AND behavior.



24. I know I'm not normal, and I've decided that I don't care. I listen to 'weird' music, watch 'quirky' films, I eat french fries with chocolate topping, I put pepper in my hot chocolate,

25. I treat my car as my home (you can find from CDs, magazines, DVDs, makeup kit, perfume, candies, clean clothes, boxes of shoes, everything....)
