1. I love my friends and family a lot. I didn’t realize how much I missed my family since I have been here. I have some here as well, which is great but a larger number are out there and so don’t get to see them often.
2. If I don’t seem excited or REALLY happy to see you sometimes, it doesn’t mean that I am not. I am not excessively expressive so it may seem like I don’t care that much but that is not the case
3. I love people and learning about other cultures and places. I’m looking forward to being able to help those less fortunate than myself and help them maintain a better standard of living and have simple things like shoes for going to school. This is why I would like to work for an international NGO- yes this all sounds cheesy but it’s true.
4. I am a walking contradiction- like I have just said I love people, I am also at the other end of the spectrum, which is that I’m afraid of people. Not afraid-afraid but that I don’t always know what to say. There are times that I will be with people and I don’t have anything to say at all and other times, you can’t get me to shut up!!
5. It takes a while for me to warm up to people in general- that’s just the way I am but I try to be more sociable
6. Another contradiction is don’t like tomatoes but I eat ketchup and can eat a sandwich with a thinly-sliced tomato
7. I’m driven and ambitious and would say I have a one track mind cos I focus on my goals. Sometimes it seems I don’t care about much else but I do- read no. 8
8. I love life and all the simple things in it. I love warm (not hot) weather, love it when it rains, thunders, snows, when the sun shines, when there’s a cool breeze or the sky is blue. I love landscapes, sunsets, when there are clouds & u can see the sun’s rays coming thru, doing nothing, doing a lot, NAPS!, MUSIC!, the beach, desserts esp cheesecake, dancing til the early hours, yoghurt, reading, a good workout, etc.
9. I wish I could travel the world RIGHT NOW!!. Not even gonna name all the places I wanna go to cos the question would be- where DON’T I wanna go??!! But I will work through this education thing first and then the rest will work itself out
10. I really want to play the guitar! It is fun and a chill thing to do when u want to do nothing. I took a few lessons b4 and boy, ur fingers hurt after a while. it may be my next b-day pressie to myself so we’ll see
11. I don’t understand why it’s hard to call me Marie- not Mary, not Maria, not MaryRose, not Rosemarie, not Rosemary, etc
12. Some of the nicknames I have are Maz, Mazzabella (Rach), Mazimamoto (certain people), Rose, one beginning with A and some others that I won’t put here.
13. I love red hair and would have different shades all the time but have black sometimes just to look “normal”- lol
14. My favorite all-time song is Lovely day by Beres Hammond. Then there’s also Everybody knows- John Legend, circle of life- Lion King, One moment in time (grammys) Whitney Houston, I can only imagine- MercyMe
15. I do not like plastic bags- yes, I use them but they are just so bad and trust me, if you’ve seen how they can really spoil a landscape and be just EVERYWHERE, u would hate them too. I wish we could get rid of them
16. Animated movies are one of my faves- Incredibles, anyone?? And Disney movies (with all their stereotypes- it’s just entertainment). And musicals are pretty great- loved the Lion King on stage and would see it again in a heartbeat!
17. I’m blunt to the point of rudeness cos don’t beat around the bush. I am realistic about things but also eternally hopeful!
18. Can’t stand mayo! Smell, taste or anything about it. I eat fish or tuna sandwiches with either ketchup or butter
19. I write fairly well and used to write for myself, only a few people have seen stuff I’ve written. I haven’t done it for a while now but who knows, I’m trying to pick it up again and may get published one fine day… don’t know what the book will actually be about lol
20. Sometimes I don’t say anything and will simply sit with you guys and listen to what is going on. I just don’t feel like talking and just want to listen
21. Based on the last one, I’m a good listener
22. I am a fairly active and get up and go person. I like things like hiking, kayaking, going to the gym, swimming, bowling, whatever gets you moving
23. I can be very sarcastic or very silly- depends on the mood
24. I don’t drink soda/fizzy drinks because it hurts my stomach. This has been for about 3 yrs now.
25. I am very opinionated and know where I stand on a lot of things. Sometimes when we are deciding what to do and I don’t have a particular opinion or say whatever, it’s cos I’ll be happy whatever we decide to do as you should not knock something til you’ve tried it. But I would like to know what we are going to do so that I’m not caught off guard, only a lil spontaneous
:-)
