my weaknesses(s)..

Everyone has their own weaknesses or those things that makes you wanna say "..ooohh, I wanna get that one!". Even the famous first Lady Ms Imelda Marcos is still famous for her collection of Shoes. Most girls adore lots of bags. Some are miniature dolls or Barbies, or even Angel Figurines. Even Candles. To most Men, miniature Harleys might meant their whole lives. It is quite a fact that we love collecting stuffs - from Stamps to Boyfriends (i'm joking but its true!)To the point that you do not care anymore if its good or bad for you. and mine would be the following:

1. STATIONERIES. there was a point in my life where i go gaga over these scented papers,They also vary from their length and sizes, some are big and some are small. Believe me, I got Hello Kitty's to Personalized Ones. I totally loooove them to a fault. I remember i even have a bag full of stationeries in which i hide from everybody at the house, because they will definitely get mad at me. I started collecting these heavenly creatures when i was in Fourth Grade. I just stopped collecting stationeries when i found my other fetish. (big grin.)

2. POCKETBOOKS. Actually, i started collecting books just as the same age as i collected stationeries. i was in sixth grade when my cousin introduced me to the world of reading. I still remember as if that was yesterday, when my aunt from N.Y. sent a "balikbayan package" to us full of "BABYSITTER'S CLUB Series by Ann M. Martin. From then on I was hooked. Then came the "SWEET VALLEY TWINS, which became SWEET VALLEY HIGH until SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY. All from Francine Pascal. My classmates and I were reading them from series to series, I still remember i usually wrote all the titles of the books that i have and exchange them with my classmates, and don't forget the usual Sweet Dreams. I also totally got hooked with Harlequin Romances and Silhuette Romances, among my favorites are Amanda Browning, Lynne Graham and Carole Mortimer. Then one of my classmates introduced me to the world of Tagalog romance. I usually read novels from Helen Meriz, Maia Jose, Jo-An Solis, Arielle and Luisa Villafuerte. Then one day i read a novel from Ms Martha Cecilia, it was entitled "Rose Tattoo", which is a part of her infamous Kristine Series. I got hooked from then on. Believe me, there was a part in my life in which i was walking along Recto going crazy looking for old copies of Ms Martha Cecilia. and for me, they are priceless. They are my most coveted possession ever. and i am so proud that i have the complete lists of all her works. and i wouldn't trade my collections for anything in the world!! But of course i also read other titles but none of them would ever compare to MC novels.

3. POEMS. Yes, yes, yes. I collected poems. Not just poems written by anybody but mostly written by myself. Those were the days when i was so sad and depressed that i did not know what to do. But instead of crying or doing something bad to myself, i just let my imagination flow. Then bingo. i could create poems, they were not that great but at least they rhyme. Most of the time. Gonna grab some lime. But i don't even got a dime. (lol)

4. PERFUMES. I can say that these are my most expensive fetish ever. but i can say that among all my stuff, these are the ones that really digs me. I mean, they can be something that really can fill the "space" or "emptiness" inside. they can cheer me up just by looking at them. and that saves me from total insanity. (if i am still sane). And i totall love my collections to a fault..

Here are some of the pics of my collection.

And by the way, i just bought another 2 bottles last Sat, Island FIJI by Michael Kors and DIAMONDS by Emporio Armani. It's Beyonce's fault that i bought the latter.
