Something Special

I should be doing my homework in journalism right now but I just couldn't get myself working on it. I'm always a late sleeper- a night owl- in every sense of it. And usually by midnight my brain is on the marathon. Tonight is just another night but this time I want to do something- not my homework.
Two weeks ago, I went to a variety school to buy things I need for my teaching activity. "Something Special", that's the store's name. I don't know what urges me to ask for the saleslady to give me a crochet thread. I have a hook since high school and I still have it. Well, now I know why I bought those thread.... I want to start crocheting a scarf for my little niece...... ♥♥♥
Good luck to me! :)

Are you a Lady?? checklist....

Mom once told me that I am a garbage collector because I would collect newspapers and old magazines. I would cut pictures especially photographs of houses and foods and I would put them in a folder,  ( I can't explain why :)) My college notebooks was one of them though they don't have pictures ^_^

Last night during my hyperactivity time ( I'm a night owl), I was cleaning  my bookshelves when I stumbled on my old college notebooks. As I arrange it on the bookshelves I thought of throwing some of it on garbage since I have little space in my apartment and it's becoming crowded with books and old notebooks (Think of it as a library LOL!).  Well, its been 10 years I've been keeping it, I scanned it first when I stumbled on this note about becoming a lady... I remember copying this in one of a published books I have read in our college library. Here it is:

2. A lady never gossips.
3. A lady has her legs and underarms free of hair
4. A lady smiles frequently.
5. A never panics upon entering a crowded room.
6. A doesn't tug her hair, chew gum  or play with her pen in public.
7. A is free from bad odor each day.
8. A has an alert expression on her face. She doesn't appear tired, bored or unhappy.
9. A has a pleasant voice.
10. A never shakes her legs, overwork her eyebrows or mouth when conversing with others.
11. A lady keeps her laughter soothing to other's ears.

13. A lady never applies cosmetics at the dining table... (Arg! Guilty ha! Ha!)
14. A lady knows current events.
15. A lady knows when to listen and when to speak up.
