(let's see if we have something in common :D)

1. Green is my favorite color. 
2. I love watching movies (21 in total for 2013; hbo and starworld movies not included) - esp. animated 3D movies. (Frozen is my favorite this year.)
3. I like anime and kpop but I am just a regular fan (lol). I don't have kpop merchandise and I haven't been to a kpop concert or convention. But I will soon rectify that. 
4. Kiliel (Kili x Tauriel) is my OTP. As a first time shipper, I find the shipping world crazy and comforting at the same time. (Tip: Let's mind our own shipping business.)

5. I can't draw. As an anime fan and now, a shipper, my inability to draw is a major frustration. I can't express my feels! Ugh!
6. Because of #5, I looked up tutorials on how to use photoshop :D Now, I can make graphic art, gifs and eeeeh, my own chibi!

But the first character I drew on PS is Potpot ^^ (open Potpot in another tab to view a larger size)

7. I started writing fanfics three years ago - the time I joined AFF :D
8. I have a sister who is a creative writer ^^ And I picked-up a lot of tips on writing from her, without her knowing.
9. Speaking of #8, no one in real life knows that I write fanfics, except for one unnie. The other two only know of my originals ^^
0. I call myself Keeper. Andi gave me that nickname one afternoon in the old tagbox. Idk if she still remembers... 

1. I blog a lot - it ranges from sillyKeeper posts to serious posts about the site, writing... And the users (haha, mga pasaway.)
2. I am pro-AFF. I love the site and it's features that I always, always test them out even it meant adding a new story just to see the 'you' tag in action or studying html codes just to make a layout that I could apply from the Layout Marketplace. (Yes, I still prefer the old layout - I shared my thoughts about it in the previous  posts - but I still acknowledge and appreciate the effort boss, the affhelpers and mods put in this site.)
3. I stalk blogs and discussions in the social section. I bet I met some of you there.
4. I have my own tag: keeper (because I can) (Trivia: Before, mods have to approve of tags. But then boss nichi gave us freedom to create our own tags. I am still itching to clean the tag section.)
5. I write guides because I think they are helpful. (Btw, this one is for the noobs to help you get started here.)
6. I haven't contributed any video in AFF's video section. (Trivia: You can earn karma points before by posting videos.)
7. I haven't clicked the unsubscribe button underneath my subscribers' usernames.
8. I blocked users for advertising RP in my wall because they come back and they don't read my personal message. 
9. The layout delete button is a wonderful Christmas present :D
0. Seems like I like deleting, but I never deleted a story ^^

1. I am not a risk taker. But I also act on impulse, esp when it's not a life or death situation or the outcome don't have an impact on my life (like buying cute stuff :3 or standing up for a friend ;D )
2. I like Malaysia's chicken satay, Thailand's pad thai, Iran's kebab, three desserts from Madagascar (i forgot what they're called). There's this dessert from India, I also forgot the name - like plain small cake balls in a creamy and sweet dipping and then the snacks of mixed nuts, beans and what-not, just not too spicy. And my mom's italian style pasta dishes, pizza (my fave is the four-cheese, hindi nakakaumay)... Her palabok...burito, nacho, taco... Anything chicken! Nothing too spicy though. I love desserts. Mom's pastries are the best. Chocolate is my favorite!

3. I love food but not so much to make me learn how to cook or bake >_< 
4. I collect cute notebooks but I never write on them. 
5. I am into arts and crafts. I collect them papers and coloring pens, pencils, craft punchers and stamps, even a polymer clay sculpting set and yarn and crochet hooks. I also have drawing tools - different pencils, sketchpad, tutorial pdfs and those sketching books where the basic outline of the landscape is provided, you only have to shade them and complete the whole picture. A new pack of origami paper and a box of 16 fabric crayons were recently added to this collection, courtesy of mh sister :D 
6. I prefer fabric glue xD No needles for this Keeper.
7. I love trying out new things, see if I can do it and how well I can do it - this trait basically got me to write fanfics and poems, graphic arts, layouts, videos (i have done a couple for my unnies and my boss but it is so time consuming i haven't made a trailer here). I want to make my own Keeper font, code my own tumblr and wordpress themes, among many others :D
8. I don't use coloring PSDs. I know how to use them but I like to do the coloring on my own. I like to experiment.
9. I want to master one skill. To be the best at that one thing.

0. I asked the technician at the cellphone repair shop how he learned to fix cps. Did he attend a training or was there a short course for it? And he told me: Passion. It's my passion so I taught myself how through searching in the internet. So be passionate at what you are doing.

1. An anon asked me if I realize how stuck up I am. I said no. But in retrospect, I might appear that way to outsiders ^^
2. I try to be nice. Really, really, hard. But my efforts are not enough :3 Help me out and don't be difficult :D
3. (In Thranduil's voice) "I am patient." (or I think, I am. I think I am, so I am.)
4. I notice a lot of things. And if I don't like what I see, it's either I click report content or I blog. 
5. If I want something done, I do it myself.
6. I am also lazy. So if I really have to do someting, I do it fast and make sure that I get it right the first time. Saves me time that I spend on things I like :D [My study habit]
7. I mentioned about making guides, but I don't do tutorials. I can't teach or tutor other people orz because of the way I process information. I am not good in explaining things. Some people don't even understand my guide on how to apply layouts from the Layout Marketplace.
8. I can't sing or dance. Well, I can...but I am no good.
9. I like music :D Dr. Shim told me that music is universal. We don't have to understand the lyrics to appreciate it. As a kpop fan and anime ost fan, I so agree with him.
0. I lack eye-hand-err-full-body coordination. I don't do well in sports either. But I can ride a bike, haha.

1. I only acted twice in school plays - as a daughter when I was in second grade for a school presentation, with high schoolers as my parents  and the rest of the cast :3 and the youngest daughter in Precious as Salt where our class won Best Play. [I found this. Though the title is different, it's the same story.]
2. I am always a props committee member, after I submitted the script orz. I directed once and that's the last of it. In Once on this Island musical, everyone had to go on stage except Keeper who had to man everything - stage manager, sounds and lights tech ^^ We won  :)
3. I helped design the cheering outfit of my unnies. They almost strangled me because of the amount of skin they had to show.
4. I think being the eldest at home and youngest in my batch, the workplace and with my group of friends gave me this... Balance. At home, I have to be responsible one. Outside, not so much. Not that I'm irresponsible. I'm just less uptight and I get away with almost anything. I bet that's the reason why the real artists of the props committe let me paint in that ginormous backdrop (10ft high x 40ft wide). (or maybe because I just painted the base color and they did the shadows and lights and details -.-) Well, my sis is more uptight. So I guess, the roles are reversed haha! 
5. In reference to #2 and #4 in this block, I am melancholic-sanguine. Before I was melancholic-choleric. Simply means that I'm still "emo", but more fun to be with.
6. I don't do mediocre work. That's why I end up doing everything if I'm appointed the leader. I dont like group works because of this. That I'm my choleric side just makes an appearance. I am more of the dependable follower than a leader. 
7. I can't swim. And that's not good after seeing the desolation of Super Typhoon Haiyan. Keeper's town was spared. But if I don't want to drown, I better learn how. It's just that... I chickened out when I was younger and I... ughh... -.- 
8. I contradict myself most of the time. I do the very thing I told myself I won't do. Then I berate myself for it. And then, I just carry on with what I was doing making myself believe that it's a learning experience.
9. I like lists. I make a lot of lists. Aha. 
0. I'm Friday's Child. Born on a Friday. Friday's child is loving and giving. I really hope I am ^^

So that's 50 things about Keeper. I'd be amazed if people actually read this xDD This is my first post in the new year and it's all about me, lol xD But if you clicked the links, there might be something for you.
