Seven Wonders of Me - Last Year Santa Clause

Just in case you did not read my Story Blob, Share Your Christmas Moments post - last year I decided to dress up as Santa Clause. My Santa costume (on the photo above) is hand made by me, and yes it took a long time, every night of the whole week and one weekend, and I still forgot to make myself a belly. I was sawing like crazy, and on the end all this work was really worth something - we all had a blast. I did special appearance for my two nephews and one niece, and of course I delivered few gifts to my neighbors. Note no snow on Christmas Day last year. Gifts are nice, but I think the feeling of Christmas, the laughter and most of all time with the family is the best gift one can get. Dressing up as Santa is something I really enjoy, and this personal addiction or kind of funny side of me I think really goes hand in hand with the seven wonders of the meme tag game.

I got this meme from Peter from St Vincent's Hospital Darlinghurst - Male Nurses and for this tagging game I would like to show off the strange side of me, and even it is strange, still this is who I am, and I am not planning to change any time soon, lol. But before I go on, let me tell you a little bit about Peter from St Vincent's Hospital Darlinghurst - Male Nurses. Peter is a nice guy that I met accidentally. I visited his blog, and one of his early posts had these nice old and antique photos of nurses that I liked, so I left a comment on one of the posts. I wasn't sure at that time if I ever be back there, but believe or not I am there almost every day now. So what happened. Well Peter was so nice, and welcomed me, and we found out that even he is a nurse and I am an engineer, we have many things in common or even same but reversed. It was all unexpected. Please stop by Peter's blog and you will not be disappointed - just let you know he like to blog very late at night so don't be surprised when your comment is answered in a matter of minutes. BTW he got this nice digital camera for Christmas and anytime soon on Peter's blog we will be exploring the most beautiful images from Australia.

Seven Wonders of Meme

No. 1: I am vivid dreamer. Okay not that kind of dreamer you thinking about. There is no single night that I don't have dreams. I have all kinds of dreams - happy, funny, sad, terrible, scary, or sometimes continuation of my day - I also talk, walk and punch during night. I remember during my university years, in my dreams I used to write test and exams all the time, I think I was failing because there was not enough dream time, lol.

No. 2: I have been hunted by number eleven all my life - I always been number eleven in the student list in elementary school, my husband was born on the eleventh (in September), his favorite number is eleven, we got mail box number eleven, we once sat under some ceiling part number eleven on the airport in Vegas, every time I get a chance to look at the clock it is always eleven minutes after some time, my godchild was born on the eleventh, my sister was born in November - eleventh month, and the list can be much bigger if I could remember all the incidences. However, someone may say the eleven is on the spot light because I don't pay attention to other numbers that much, lol.

No 3: The only video games I enjoy are mind games: Tetris is number one, I can play for hours and hours. I have Nintendo DS and I can connect via wireless with others to play, they still beat me, but hey if I won all the time, I probably get bored. Then there are other, like Brain Age (you man want to read this), Big Brain Academy, Solitaire a free game always included with MS Windows, Puzzles - you name it. As I said it is probably because they are challenge to me, and I like the challenge. Never solved the Rubik Cube - btw I have one in my bowling ball bag.

No 4: I love cooking, still learning how to bake. I never follow recipes, I hate recipes, I make stuff from pictures and causal reading. I don't think I can make anything formal or that has name attached to it, I just cook stuff that tastes good, and it is healthy and now low on salt. I will not start cooking until I assemble everything in my head. I like to be successful first time. No dish is ever the same.

No 5: I am very organized - and I love things in order. I have lists of things to do. My school notes were almost prefect, were taken away from me by a year younger students and never returned to me. People used to copy notes from my notes as opposed to from the blackboard - it was very annoying. I don't have much room for all the gifts I received over the years of my life, and with the power of digital technology I photograph all the articles and packaged them into containers. So now instead of opening all the boxes I just look at the index sheets.

No 6: I get head ache when I talk to much. I don't have many friends in real life, see them every few years if someone decides to invite me, and I don't mind. My family is my friend whether I like it or don't like it. I like blogging because finally someone is listening to me.

No 7: I am not going to tell you now, lol. You can try to guess all you want, but I will make it - to be continued...

To continue this Seven Wonders of Meme, I would like to pass this tag to this wonderful young lady full of energy and lot of life knowledge - Max, my blogger friend Livingsword from Life on the Blade blog that you met earlier reading the proudest moment of my life post, and who has been really good and patient with me even though I am not a Survivor type person; and the most recent friendly blogger David from David's Images of Nature Photography Gallery blog I just met that has unique way to look at the nature, and he is from Australia too.
