Random Things # 501

1. I fall in love easily, but I fall out of love quite quickly. (i.e. I can't even remember my first boyfriend's last name.)

2. The easiest way to torture me is to fry bacon when I am in your immediate vicinity. The smell of frying bacon, the crackling and popping, the curling of crisp meat in its own fat, represents everything that I've given up as a pesco-vegetarian. (Yes, I used to love bacon.)

3. I am in the office terminal on my lunch break, trying very hard to look like I am working.

4. This week has been a flurry of activity. I've no more time for Simbang Gabi (Midnight Mass). Instead, I will celebrate the Lord's Birthday by abstaining from chocolate (on Christmas day!). Now that's a sacrifice.

5. Never mind that.

6. I am meeting so many new people - K's brother, Richard (great artist, great guy), Minde Veromski (AIESEC VP, cute Lithuanian, but too young for me), Helen Louise (head of the Women's Crisis Center, whom I've known for quite a while, but I only got to know her late last night, over frapuccinos and hot chocolate after K's Christmas Party in Absinth), etc. - yet, truth be told, I haven't been going out all that often.

7. I have yet to go Christmas shopping. Tonight's the night - I rush headlong into Christmas shopping frenzy for my friends and loved ones' presents! Wish me luck.

8. I miss kissing.

9. I have plateaued (weight-wise), but I'm still shedding inches.

10. I am a lucky, lucky girl.
