Something Weird About Me


I’ve been busy and bored with work that’s why I wasn’t online for almost a week. That made me feel so bad :-( Sometimes, I think I’m maybe bored coz I was placed in the weirdest group in my entire call center career. Say, we have a gambler-turned-seminarian, a lady who had heart-surgery-but-still-alive-and-kicking (surgery at 12 and was given 5years to live and she’s now 28). We also have this girl who got this funky mixture of gothic and Japanese style plus countless piercing and full band tattoos! Lesbians, gays, suspected bisexuals are in too! In addition, we have a class of FEU (Far Eastern University) graduates and nurses. I sigh… The weird thing is it’s common in a call center.

As Glenn, our trainer wrote something on the board; my heart was beating so fast but with secret smile behind the tenseness. He advised us to introduce ourselves by giving our name, nick, previous jobs, past time, and ‘something weird about me’. Most of my co-trainees answered things that are common weird things. I may have hundred of weird thing about me but I just answered 1. That is: whenever I feel sad, I ride in anything (plane, bus, jeep, train, etc.) without any destination. As long as I got gummy bears in my pocket I’m ok. 3 days before the training, I’ve said that to 3 different people! But you know what’s the weirdest part? I know our trainer would ask that question before he wrote it. I didn’t say it in class coz they might find it spooky and I want to say it on the 4th day for the 4th time! :-P How I think that way is another story. But I really think that people who got no weird things about their selves aren’t normal at all.

Please tell me you’re normal, so what’s something weird about you?

When I am nervous, I talk "slower" rather than faster. So people think I am very calm and relaxed when speaking in front of a crowd. If you hooked up a heart (EKG) machine to me though... the pen would be tearing up the paper cuz my heart is beating at twice the normal rate.

I think I can relate to your weirdness. Its really liberating in a way, when u take a ride to nowhere.. its spontaneous and adventurous.. and then I believe if it were in my case, the ride would actually help me return to my roots and appreciate the reality. Prolly me saying things like this makes me weird!

Anyway, I can't think of anything bizarrely weird, but my friend once told me that my habit of eating IndoMee (instant noodle) sandwiched with bread, was weird.

If you don't mind, I added a link to ur blog at mine. You're really something. =)

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are mistaken. Let's discuss. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
