Generic 2011 Survey

December 29, 2011 at 7:02 pm | Filed under memes and such

Normally, I avoid things like this. Nothing else makes me feel as inadequate and inferior as looking back at the year that was and feeling like I just spent 98% of my time nursing hangovers or eating junk food in my couch while fist-pumping to Jersey Shore. I kid you not, I really do fist-pump to Jersey Shore (and other things, like finding a can of Ma Ling in the kitchen) while around the house.

These year-end surveys are generally not good for my well-being. That, and no one really cares about these things (exceptions: my boyfriend and probably me, when I’m 40). But then, maybe it could be a good thing for me to start doing these things so I can be motivated to do better the next year, ya know?

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Shave the side of my head. The Azta stylist botched it up, though, so I might do it properly in 2012. We’ll see.

I Imagine Myself Back in the Second Grade and RecitingThis Entryin Front of my Classmates

April 8, 2010 at 4:37 pm | Filed under memes and such, photos

And they’d all chant “Welga! Welga! Welga!” at me. Because it rhymes with my name (obviously). The things kids do, I swear.

I need two more blog entries this day for reasons I will not say but y’all probably know. Oh, I got hipster glasses:

I got them for fifty pesos in Cubao. That’s a dollar something for you non-Filipinos.

On to the self-serving stuff (everyone’s done this so I’m not the only boring one, ok):

If I were a month, I’d be May.
If I were a day of the week, I’d be Friday.
If I were a time of day, I’d be happy hour.
If I were a planet, I’d be Mars.
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a nudibranch!
If I were a direction, I’d be nowhere.
If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be a couch.
If I were a liquid, I’d be beer. Mixed with female fat burners.
If I were a gemstone, I’d be emerald.
If I were a tree, I’d be an umbrella tree!
If I were a tool, I’d be a Photoshop pen tool.
If I were a flower, I’d be a cherry blossom.
If I were a kind of weather, I’d be a cold day.
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a synthesizer.
If I were a color, I’d be Barbie pink.
If I were an emotion, I’d be fascinated.
If I were a fruit, I’d be a cherry.
If I were an element, I’d be water.
If I were a car, I’d be a …vintage something. I know nothing about cars except they have four wheels, they get you wherever you want to be, and that you need a license to use it. And that you shouldn’t drink while/if you’re going to be behind the wheel.
If I were a food, I’d be a bucket of fried chicken.
If I were a place, I’d be the city.
If I were a material, I’d be recycled paper LOLIDK.
If I were a scent, I’d be green tea.
If I were an animal, I’d be a Siamese or a ragdoll kitty.
If I were a facial expression, I’d be a scrunched nose.
If I were a song, I’d be Lykke Li’s Little Bit.
If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be wedges.

MY DOUBUTSU URANAI COLOR/ANIMAL.

January 13, 2010 at 4:16 pm | Filed under memes and such, the helga manual

Came across this while looking up info on orlando resorts (the internet is weird, I know).

You are Gold Cheetah, who possesses feminine attraction under your bold and youthful attitude.
You are very modern up-to-date woman.
Unlike your kindly appearance, you tend to be short tempered and rather too sensitive and sharp.
You are really a clear-cut type of person, and can be hard minded.
When young, you will go straight to whatever you are aimed at, and therefore you may experience clash of ideas with your parents.
You hate compromising, and may wish to quickly leave home and live on your own.
Once you have set an objective, you will put in your maximum effort to achieve the goal.
You will also use anything to get what you want, and this may seem rather attractive and cute to others.
In ordinary every day life, you can differentiate your ideals and reality.
You tend to think hard about interests and calculation.
You are a quick minded person, and therefore can carry out things cheerfully.
You are very humane, easy to get on with, and honest.
Your characteristic is that you look very logical sort of person at first.
Your realistic personality is better suited to stay working rather than to become a housewife.
You will be able to keep both your career and your family.
If you stay just as a house wife, you can be rather too strict on education, and become a nagging mother.

A MEME! ON A SUNDAY!

June 15, 2008 at 3:07 pm | Filed under memes and such, the helga manual

J tagged me to do this meme and I’m supposed to tag six other people to do the meme, but I can only think of tagging one person: Penny.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
At thirteen, I was a competitive swimmer and part of the Royal Dolphins. After school, my dad, my brother, and I would travel two hours to San Pablo, Laguna to train for two to three hours. Weekends were spent training at Baker Hall inside the UPLB campus or, if the pool was closed for the weekend, at the Makiling Botanical Gardens or Pook (the only Olympic-sized swimming pool in Los Banos) pools.

I also made my first static webpage on the now-defunct gURLpages, spent a lot of time on kiwibox.com and posting at the Hansonline forums (Hanson’s official site before they changed it to hanson.net).

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
Nothing! It’s a lazy Sunday at Drew’s, but I guess: take out the trash, buy cigs, maybe go to the Toycon at Megamall, go through my blogroll, and maybe meet up with some friends tonight. Except for the first two, nothing’s final.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Oishi’s wasabi-flavored potato chips, chocolate cupcakes, cheese, leche flan, cake, and diet pills (heh).

4. Places I’ve lived:
Paco, Manila (where I was born); La Union; Los Banos, Laguna; Katipunan Avenue/Loyola Heights, Quezon City; Antipolo, Rizal.

5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:
I can’t even imagine having that much money, but I’ll go ahead and be cute here: travel, live wastefully for a year, give the money to my folks to manage.

6. People I want to know more about:
Artsy-fartsy people. Actually, no. No one specific, really.

RANDOM CHEESE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.

November 2, 2007 at 11:59 pm | Filed under memes and such, photos

Hi, my name is Helga and my face in that photo up there is what I usually look like when I’m in a good mood. Just in case you’re a bit stupid, I’m the one in the brown hoodie.

It’s Friday, I’m in love. Not necessarily in a good mood, not necessarily focused, not necessarily in tip-top shape.

SO ANYWAY, BECAUSE I AM PERPETUALLY DISTRACTED BY WARBOOK AND NOW, MARS 2025, I’ll go down Lame Lane and do a meme.

But before I do, a question: how do you pronounce ‘meme’? Because I say ‘meeem’ and if you pronounce it any other way, YOU ARE WRONG.

Appetizer
How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?
— Um. My whole 13th-month pay?

Soup
What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?
— Euromaxx on some local tv station. It’s something I can watch in complete silence. Meaning: no running commentary on how moronic the show is.

Salad
If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?
— My landlords are a couple of assholes (who need to go in for acne treatments) and this is a lame question.

Main Course
Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn’t yet.
— YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE AWESOME? If goddamn workforce just did it’s fucking job correctly and be able to accurately forecast our call volume BECAUSE WE’RE FUCKING FORCED TO CUT OUR LUNCH HOUR IN HALF TO RENDER OVERTIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Dessert
List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this upcoming holiday season.
— a Lomo Fisheye
— a taser
— a sunny day

I hate this job.
