my trinkets and stuffs / surprises gone bad

Does anyone know this musical thingy's name? 
It's given to me by a friend when he visited China in the year 2005, the rhythm it makes is derive from a Chinese song. 

My medal's.

Back when most of my days is spent on studying teehee.


Got this from Liu Fu Chun theme park in Taiwan. Cool isn't it?

And I got this digital watch from a night market in Tai Chung, Taiwan.       
    Lots of nice stuffs in Taiwan ehh.

My shoes during 2010, I still got the 3 pairs from the right part of the picture. 
From Gibi, so Fab and skechers.

Another cutie stuff bought in Taiwan. It's called MeToo bunny, it has a zip at the back where you can put small stuffs like keys, grocery lists, coins or money bills. I recall giving a larger version of a meToo bunny doll to my nephew, after a few days I saw that it was covered with big yellow dots from a marker. I asked my nephew why he did that to the meToo doll, and he answered me "I had to, meToo fell and I have to put betadine all over his face so that his wounds will heal." And I was like...... OK, don't know what to say haha.

This lil hedgehog followed me all the way to the cashier. Hahahhaha.
Joke. Another friend of mine bought it for me on the spot at Toy Kingdom (2009), because he noticed how much I liked it. I still have it with me, so cute.


== Surprises Gone Bad ==




Here's a fact: some guys doesn't give bouquet flowers to ladies and I can't figure out why, I mean most girls like flowers even though after a couple of days it will just wilt, die and be thrown at the garbage or folded in between books for remembrance. 

There's just many simple reasons and many simple ways to make a lady happy right?
And receiving flowers is one of those reasons that makes a lady smile.
So why not? 

Well well, this picture tells you about a guy who gave me a potted orchid? yeah you guessed right for Valentines day. That special day when most girl's receive bouquet of flowers, chocolates, jewelries and cuddly stuffs and items them girls would love to have. And I receive a pot, with soil, and a three bud of orchids.

So like, I didn't have any idea how to take care of it so I just gave it to my grandma instead.
When I asked the guy why he had chosen to give me this potted plant, he answered that giving flowers is a waste of money for it will just wilt and die. And until now I don't get it, for me it's like saying why water the plant when it's just gonna rain sometime. umhpf...

And speaking of valentines, once my mom bought me a bouquet of flowers when she fetched me from high school, instead of being all smiles my happy thoughts were drained because I felt like I was the one supposed to give her that and not vice versa. The fact that she brought them to my school, it felt so awkward because it was just not cool, she could have given those flowers at home.

Another valentines came and another unfortunate surprise for me, it was the first class in the morning this another guy planned to give me those single-almost-wilting-10-peso-flower which were sold by people at the streets. Its color was white with lines of black at the ends and the stem was made to stand with the help of wires. He gave it to me in front of our classmates. I just said thank you, but I was shocked? puzzled? dismayed?  

At the end of the afternoon class, a friend of his gave me a brown paper bag with a small chocolate cake, a toblerone and a long stemmed holland tulips rose with a card saying "Just when you thought all I could give was that wilting flower HA!". The reason? He wanted to see my REACTion...

So, pardon me if I say that I don't find valentines day to be special it's just for me ok... it's just due to so many unfortunate encounter with it. But don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see loving couples having a wonderful time. And maybe someday I will have a wonderful time too without those unfortunate encounters please...
