Faces

I created a tag in Facebook using this photo. Believe it or not, I spent almost an hour to finish this tag. I was very careful on who tag because, you don’t know whether they would find it offensive or they’ll embrace it. Thankfully, the comments from those tagged were overflowing . Somehow, thankfully I got most of them right.

Then I went into contemplating on why it took me almost an hour to finish the tag. I’ve known most of them for more than a year, but then I still struggled recognizing who’s sporty, the cry baby, the nature lover, the ninja, the cat lover, the shopaholic. :( This all boils down to either:

• I never asked the right questions.
• I asked the right questions, but I didn’t listen carefully to their answers.
• I listened carefully, but never really absorbed what it was that they’re trying to say.
• I forget about things easily.

My conclusion: its a mixture of everything I have mentioned. Most of the time, people perceive me as someone who doesn’t pay attention. But the truth is, whenever someone’s talking I listen to the best that I can, absorbing every word that they say. I remember a friend of mine saying that maybe you keep on forgetting things about other people because I don’t find them important. Then I said that’s not true. But then he still contested that important things are worth remembering. Well, I do agree. But I still end up forgetting things.

What to do in situations like this? Nuninuninu.
