The K-POP fan : 10 Things You NEED to Know about Kim Chariz

As the saying goes, "tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are". 

Well, if that statement is true, then Judging from my friends, I'd say, I am Bi-polar. :))

This post is a tribute to my friends who helped me keep my sanity when I was facing a tough time, who is always on my side, never afraid to bluntly point to me facts of life, disagree with the way I see things (yet keeping a respect for my opinions) and for coping with my misgivings.

First on the list, is Kim.

I met Kim when I was in college. And really, I have no idea why and how we became friends. I remembered I used to spend my time thinking how selfish and annoying she is. (this is not back stabbing everyone, she knows I thought she is selfish and annoying) I understand we all have a negative side, but hers was, the most, out-of-this world type. (Again, not back stabbing here.)

Everyone, say "Hi" to kim. 

(and here are 10 things you should know about her)

1. She is introverted and possessive. 

 I guess everyone knows what this means. (side-note: Basically, introvert is a person that I energized by being alone - source: about.com) This does not mean she would not go out with friends and chill. She is open to make new friends, BUT SHE IS NOT THE ONE WHO SHOULD MAKE THE FIRST STEP. she waits until the new person is introduced, converse a little, then she is off to her own world. You see this coming when you see that she is facing a wi-fi ready phone or a laptop. When she is off to the virtual world to "socialize" it is difficult to get her full attention.

Kim is possessive, not only to things but also when it comes to friends. She is open to a friend bringing a "plus one" to the group, but do not make it a regular habit. If you plan to make it regular, be sure to spend time MORE time on her than on your "plus one". She easily feels left-out. (I'm on her side on this) 

2. She wanted to take Mass Communication (or Journalism related courses).

Kim wants to be a journalist. In fact, I think she makes a good editor for a magazine or a newspaper. (wait, that is still covered in the journalism field right? :D ) She is good at sentence structure, grammar and all that stuff. In fact, I let her proofread the posts I am writing. 

(side-note: to all her friends on Facebook, if you are planning to post something in straight english, please proofread it before hitting post.)

3. If you want to get her attention, KPOP should be on top of your topics to discuss.

While I get confused with who is who when it comes to KPOP, she doesn't. 

Fan much? It doesn't end there. She is OBSESSED with this SUJU band (and she wanted to meet them in person one day), wanted to be KOREAN, but the funny thing is, she cannot tolerate spicy dishes. hahaha.

Just talk to her about KPOP, and see what I mean.

4. She wants to become a Vampire. (hahaha)

Maybe this is because of her admiration for the super hot vampire Damon Salvatore, or the influence of too much TV (and the internet).

5. She buys Pumps and heels, but never wears them.

She is a sneakers type, but whenever we go thrift shopping, she sees this platform shoes or heels or pumps and buys them but never really wears them. Weird? well, not really. I call it impulsive. haha.

6. LOVES to EAT but HATES to COOK. (or do household chores)

She knows she is lazy, but won't do anything about it. :) 

One time, I asked her, what if you don't have anyone to cook for you?

She answered me with, "then I'll starve"

(hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha)

But the good thing is, she has work, so she can pay people to do stuffs for her.

7. She cannot breathe without Internet.

Despite the fact that she is introverted, she is active on different social media sites. Isn't that weird? A person that wants to be alone, is active on sites that most of the people go to? 

Let me state that again (with emphasis this time), She cannot breathe without internet. 

If the internet connection was cut off for a day due to maintenance (or other reasons) SHE WOULD FREAK OUT. She can be compared to a FISH on a dry surface.

8. She "Goes with the Flow".

Up to now, I don't know if going with the flow attitude is a good or a bad thing.

She is happy and contented with the "now" part, but do not have a stable plan for the "future" part. 

On the 4 years (and counting) that I have known her, I have only seen her made a stand on what she thinks is right, twice. the people who knows her would probably get what I mean, but for those who don't, I'm really sorry but I don't think it is for me to tell. 

9. On matters of the heart, she will do things BLINDLY for love. 

(I know she will hate me for this part.)

Kim gave "puppy" love a chance 3 times.

The first relationship was with a guy we never met, 

the second was with a guy we met,

and the third was with a guy we wished we never met. 

and though currently she thinks LOVE IS OVERRATED, I know she is waiting for the right man to come along. (maybe 10 years from now. hahahahaha)

10. She is a mother at 19.

Of all my friends, she is the strongest. Not only because she had to endure the pain of giving birth at 19 but because she faced the "unknown" by welcoming this drastic change in her life.

I am a believer of the "things happen for a reason" quote and I believe being a mother at 19 was not unplanned by God. 

She gave birth not only to a baby girl, but also to a "new version" of herself. Having Kiara totally changed her. 

Not only did it changed her life, it changes ours as well.

*****

Looking back to all the challenges and trials she'd been through, I can really say that she is a big girl now. (chos!) From college to now, she has the most dramatic transformation. the good thing is, she is starting to grow a backbone. well, I guess she doesn't have a choice since there are two of them now. :) but really, more than the fact that I love her, I am Proud of her for doing the right thing (for most parts that is). ;)

The best thing about her is you can count on her to be ALWAYS at your side. :)

That is what friends are for right?
