10 Random Facts About Me

I have been nominated for a number of challenges recently but I haven't really been able to take part in any of it. But somehow, I never go to do most of them. Still, haven't forgotten @anutu and @mimismartypants (is that challenge still on? lol), I saw your nomination @yaanivapeji. I will try and catch up on them one after the other. Lol!

This is a challenge that was started by @twodorks you can click here to find out more about it and check out the rules too...

So, here are some facts about me that you may (or may not) find interesting about me.

1. Growing up, everyone called me "Afi the cat". Afi is the short of my other name and cat because I so much loved cats (and still do) and I also do act like them, I grew up surrounded by them but unfortunately don't have any now. I was all about the cuddle and snuggle life, don't just let me get close enough to you (still a little bit like that). I have tried hard for people to stop calling me that, I mean, I am supposed to have grown out of that already, right? (actually, I haven't), well, most people still call me that and I kinda love the name "backstage". My names have a long and funny story behind them, actually but that should be a story for another day.

2. I literally live on snacks, those really unhealthy ones (but I still try, like really hard to stay healthy), while I "live" on all these snacks (I love healthy stuff like fruits though but not much of veggies), chocolates shout my name and icecreams have my name written on them. There is a whole lot of talk (and recipes) about "healthy" snacks but those things just don't get the job done as much as the real ones do. Lol!

3. There are days when certain word or phrases just somehow find their way to my head and I look for every little opportunity to use them (and I do use them inappropriately a ton of times), other times, what comes to my head isn't really words, it could be some sort of sound (like tsk tsk tsk) and I will be making that sound throughout the day and even longer (maybe a week?). They just keep shouting their presence in my head for just no reason. This happen to any of you guys?

4. I didn't like dogs while growing up, I loved puppies but once they start to grow I begin to get scared of them. Sadly, my brother had to sacrifice because of this fear of mine, he loved dogs. The price he had to pay for being older, lol. But I do love them now, I have actually been bitten by a dog once, all out of my fear and the other time, it chased me until I fell down, then it went back, I was still a kiddo then, a story for another day. (I laugh hard now when I remember this).

5. I put my heart in all that I do because I believe that life without love really isn't worth living.

Seems like I am just halfway through it...

6. I am an introvert like I am really really introverted but once I get to know you, you will have to beg me to shut up because somehow, you will become my "unload" zone. Funny enough, I was not an introvert as a kid. Oh! That just made me remember another name they used to call while I was still a kid (thank goodness, so many people have forgotten that, somehow), but no, I am not gonna tell you guys that one... Too many "kid" stuff, right?

7. I didn't learn to cook until when I was around 18years old (it is quite unusual around here), I was often tagged the "spoilt brat" but I really wasn't even though certain things about me said that. Well, once I started learning how to cook, it became my "new love". Most times, I don't even eat what I cook...

8. I am very much of a loyal friend that once I become your friend, I try not to "cheat" on you by getting another friend. But, I am slowly learning that life really isn't that way and that you can still be loyal to all of your friends even when you have more than one and having more than one doesn't mean "cheating" (they all have their place).

9. I have always wanted to wear medicated glasses just because my classmates that wore them were often seen as smart (even though most of them weren't all that smart), I will try on my parent's glasses to see how I would look and they will always stop me because "I am gonna spoil my eyes", well, I still did sneak around to do that (because apparently, I wanted the eyes to spoil). Funny thing is my eyes are still intact.

10. I am the third and last child and my siblings gave me way too much gap. My sister is 13 years older and my brother, 9. I have always felt loved but somewhat "left out" around them (they try their best to carry me along).

About the question you asked me, @twodorks
What could you do with two million dollars to impact the most amount of people?

Two million dollars is gonna a long way in impacting people's life. But what am I gonna do with it really, how am I gonna go about it?

Okay, first, I will have to find my target, understand what their need really is, help them solve them and not only that, I will try and open ways for them to be able to meet these needs of theirs (because I won't always be there, and the money is gonna finish).

I do believe however that once I start out, likeminded people might get attracted to this project of mine and will reach out to show their own love towards the project so the project won't end easily. It will keep on living and impacting more lives.

So, for those that need to learn a skill, I will give them an opportunity to, for those that want to study, I will do same, for those that need to build a career, I will help out. And before I "wean" them, I will be somehow responsible for their feeding, shelter and also clothing. Now that I have answered your question, are you gonna give me the money? Lol!

So, here it is, @twodorks! This turned out to be a really long post!

I nominate @ravijojla for this challenge. No, yours doesn't have to be as long as mine, I just got distracted somehow...
And my question for you is; If you could be invisible for just one day, what are you gonna do?

Much Love, Audrey
