i cannot...i do not...

today i had cocktails with my future bosses and colleagues. good food, great company. the svp for HR told the 5 of us neophytes to say something about ourselves to make them remember us. and so i thought, this is going to be easy as there's just a plethora of things i cannot and do not do (by choice) to share with them...here's a rundown:

I cannot...

• swim properly
• ride a bike
• learn how to play card games (my brain just won't process the "rules and regulations")
• play chess
• estimate distance (i have no idea how far 238km is)
• be sporty (even if i tried)
• attempt to be confrontational
• memorize a piano piece (except for the repetitive ones)
• be all friendly-friendly (i am picky with the people i mingle with)
• write an essay in a noisy place (an A essay, that is)

I do not...

• eat red meat (since April 2004)
• drink softdrinks
• smoke
• drink
• sleep on time
• call my boyfriends by their first names
• order juices or iced tea in restaurants or anywhere anymore (there's just too much sugar, i think)
• eat chicken skin, except when it's KFC
• like a lot of salt (so when i'm at home or whenever possible, eggs are never salted, neither is the fried rice and chicken)
• get "harassed" by anything (i'm always cool, calm, and collected, as they say)

so there goes my top-of-head lists...believe me, there is more...i'm tempted to make a list of my "I have never..." and "I will never..." but maybe next time...
