Signs I've been Tita-fied

Been feeling a little under the weather today since my allergic rhinitis yesterday, and I think all I really want to do right now is put on some house clothes and be a couch potato rest. It's Feb Fair in UP now, actually, and for some reason, I'm not really feelin' it. 

My friend Aya tagged me in this link that showed 13 signs that I am actually a Tita.

Taking off from their 13 signs that one is actually a Tita, lemme see how I Tita-fied I am now:

1. You shamelessly steal tissue from restaurants.

Actually not just tissue, but catsup as well especially if it’s Heinz! Haha! But kidding aside, back in our early twenties, and back when Starbucks still makes their environment-friendly tissue and display it out in the open, we would “steal” them and store them in our office desks.

2. Longchamp bags and giant totes are the way to go...

Not really Longchamp but big totes! You will hardly  find me with a small sling bag. I always carry the big ones and I always seem to have a lot of things to bring (but I've been meaning to minimize it.)  

3. ...because your friends always count on you to have everything in your bag.

Oh yes! From wet wipes to sanitizer (which I occasionally forget), my friends used to call me girl scout. I even have tweezers and balm for skin itch. (But again, I'm on a quest to minimize it).

4. Your idea of fun is brunch with the girls.

Oh yes! Lately I’ve been setting up dates for brunch and start to itch to go home as soon as it gets dark.

5. Your happy place is S&R.

Because there’s just too much to look at (even though I always gawk at the chocolates section)!

6. Friends always turn to you for advice.

Yes, I do love to share my wise and some walwal years with my friends.

7. You're always setting up friends to date.

Uhmm… I cannot say for this one. I setup my best friend once with a "player" because she specifically wanted a "nothing serious but just a fun rebound" and it backfired. I tried again but it did not even went to first step. So, no, I’m not trying that again.

8. You have a collection of paper bags and shoe boxes collecting dust in your house.

Paper bags, yes. Shoe boxes, some of them. As long as the box is made in really good material.

9. Your favorite past time is going to the grocery and shopping for home décor.

Not really grocery shopping, but more on watching reruns of FRIENDS on TV. ( I can never get tired of it. I don’t know why! I even have all 10 seasons in my ipod!)

10. You host weekly dinner parties.

Not weekly, but more of a small, intimate, annual KTV party for my friends called #KEAoke! And the party time ends before midnight!

11. In the few times you’ve been out at night, you were super sleepy by 10.

Only because I get up at 5:30 am (then hit snooze).

12. @TitasofManila is your favorite Twitter account.

Not really lurking on Twitter nowadays but yes, I follow @TitasofManila for laughs.

13. Your friends actually call you a tita.

…And this is Eisen’s fault! No, actually, it’s our office Tito Abel, who called me Tita (he calls everyone Tita, excuse me, and I was 29 when he first called me that! Hahaha!) and eventually Aya caught on. It does have a nice ring actually. Tita Kea. I don’t mind. I’ve been called Mama Kea by my 13 agents before and I was twenty-friggin-four and I am cool about it. Bakit ba? :) 

I'm not yet a Tita, as per my friend.
