To Win or Lose ^_^

note: this is an old post :P

Hi! I'm back! Lol. Anyway, let's go straight to the point. For this post, I'm going to list down all the dares that I was able to successfully finish. And then on the succeeding posts you will read the other dares to which, of course, I failed. I will also create a separate post for my very special friend's dare--one of the hardest I guess...

(in no particular order... simply because, I forgot the “order” haha. Oh yeah, the dates. :P)

1. The Serenade

Well, obviously, I was challenged to serenade someone who is so shy and reserved. Fortunately, we're kind of "friends" and so the dare turned out to be something fun, and gave my office mates something to laugh at and tease me for. Videos were recorded ad laughters echoed that day. Of course, I blushed to death. It was my first time to serenade someone in front of "monstrous" people. It was kind of embarrassing, but fun as well.

2. The Strawberry Indulgence

Indeed, this was a real challenge for I don't fancy anything strawberry. I can bear the thought of eating strawberry-filled donuts but not strawberry ice cream, cake, candies and the like. I always feel like vomiting. It's something that weakens me--that strong candy-like scent, it's just so girly. Come to think of it, maybe that's one of the reasons why I don't like stawberries. In fact, it's because of this dare that I ate real strawberries for the first time. Lucky for me that I passed this dare without having to puke or feel dizzy.

3. The No Talking/Interacting To Guys Dare

It wasn't easy to ignore the guys because they were so persistent. I could even consider myself a fail for this dare because there were a couple of instances wherein I forgot about its limits. It always makes me smile every time I remember the efforts of the guys to interrupt me. I even got mad when they somehow used some "dirty" tricks just to see me fail. But my friend who gave this dare considered it a success.

4. The Manicure/Pedicure

hahaha... Just how funny could this get? If not for this dare, I will never consider the idea of getting my nails done. I am so contented with the simple, clean look of my finger/toe nails. Even so, I thought it's the best time to take some steps to becoming a woman.. hahaha And yes, it's the simplest form of manicure/pedicure.

5. One-picture-a-day-to-strangers dare

I'm not really sure about the status of this dare. I completed this dare, but something bad happened to the 'evidence'. Since I was turning 25, my friend asked me to approach 25 strangers and have a photo taken with them. Sad thing is that some pictures got deleted as we were transferring them from camera to pc. But only 3 of them got deleted; I still have 22 photos to share. And yes, my friend was happy to know that I did not neglect her dare.

6. Video-shoot, music video dare

My friends and I shot some videos for this dare. However, it's still not complete; needs some editing and stuff. Hopefully, someone can get this done before the year ends. This dare was so much fun although the gang was not complete that time. I just can't imagine the kind of riot we could've triggered. Well, thanks for this.

7. Mawe's Adobo dare

This was simple yet excruciating. I had to eat the famous adobo dish of my friend without rice!!! And another sad thing is that I wasn't allowed to take the dish home because it was a pork dish. Well yeah, pork is not allowed in our home although my mom's not a certified adventist. Eventhough, such practice has many benefits. And it was really painful not to be able to enjoy that dish to my heart's content. Maybe next time?! :D

And oh, by the way. Don't be too confused about the number. I mean, I said there were 25 dares, right? But I'm only going to post those that have been given by my friends. The rest of the dares are “confidential.” hehe You know, the whole world don't have to know what the heck I've been doing just to create more memories. Besides, I bet they don't really care about those very personal dares – the dares to myself. Ehehe. But hopefully, this could inspire or give ideas to other people. ;)
