Who Am I?

I was tagged by Mec for this meme that I found to be quite fun to do.

I AM.... a person who enjoys the simple pleasures of life. I tend to zero in on things that truly matter to me. I value substance over form. Although I also enjoy and avail of the material comforts in life, I do not consider myself as materialistic.

I WANT.... a Playstation 3 (Oops! I think I just made a liar out of myself based on the last sentence I wrote above. Hehe Well, anyway, for every rule there's an exception, ok?.)

I HAVE.... a very deep affection and a very soft spot for kids. I probably got this from my father who was, and still is, a favorite uncle to my cousins. To hear children laugh is, for me, one of those things that make life worth living.

I WISH.... I was devastatingly handsome. Naks! Hahaha Seriously, I wish I got to meet my grandparents and my father's siblings who were no longer around by the time I was born.

I HATE.... to see very good things and very good lives come to an end.

I FEAR.... the loss of a loved one and not necessarily just through death.

I SEARCH.... for meaning in any major activity I embark on in life.

I WONDER.... at times if I'm truly in the right religion given all the nasty things (conquests of foreign lands, the Crusades, the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.) that have been committed in its name for thousands of years.

I REGRET.... having to leave my country for a better life elsewhere.

I LOVE.... Loving and being loved.

I ALWAYS.... arrive for meetings, appointments and dates either on time or ahead of time. I absolutely hate being tardy. I would rather wait for the other person than have the person wait for me.

I AM NOT.... gay.

I DANCE.... to entertain kids and to make them laugh. Mimicking Stevie Wonder's moves never fails to elicit laughter even from kids who hardly know of him. (You guys ought to try it too some time. It works I tell you. Hehe) But the moment another adult walks into the room I promptly stop. :D

I SING.... in my head a lot of times and regardless of my mood.

I CRY.... whenever I hear of kids being physically or psychologically harmed, neglected or abused. They didn't ask to be brought into this world so why should they be made to suffer?

I WRITE.... because I can express what's in my heart and mind better through writing.

I WON.... several Math and Science contests for my class in 6th grade. It led the homeroom teacher of another class to complain as to why I was always competing and winning. Ha! Sore loser.

I AM CONFUSED.... as to why some people just go with the flow and not question things. For me, a mind is a terrible thing to waste and to simply go with the flow leads to inappropriate or incorrect decisions and wasted time and effort.

I NEED.... to know WHY I'm being asked to do or believe in certain things. I am a skeptic. I will steadfastly refuse to do or believe in anything until someone has convinced me of its logic.

I SHOULD.... take a bath more often! Hahaha Was just joking there, ok? Hehehe But seriously, I should exercise more to keep my weight down and cut down on drinks and food that contain a lot of sugar. This is due to the sad fact that complications from the big "D" have killed a number of members of the Panaderos clan.

THE LAST THOUGHT YOU GO TO SLEEP WITH IS.... the people I love.

Now I am tagging Dr_Clairebear, Liquid, and Mitsuru.
