You Get The WRONG Ideas About Me ;)

It's funny how some people in your life, whether old or new ones, seem to be sure about who you are and what you like. They have certain ideas inside their heads about you, and although you may prove them wrong at times, they still will think of you that way.

For most of the people in my life, I'm the baby. It's cute and annoying since I never really behave that way, I don't ask my maid to bring me hot chocolates and tuck me in before I go to bed for example. Unless you count those times when I stubbornly watched Asian horror movies and proceeded to freak myself out and begged any of my family members to sleep with me.

Yes, for them I'm a little girl. Even for my friends who know I love to play pranks on people, or drink until I wiggle like a king-kong. They'll think I'm naughty at that moment but then tweak my nose and call it cute. Like I'm a 2 year old who smears milk and maple syrup on her own face.

Some following facts might help you to know how it's like to be treated like a toddler from time to time :

1. All of my friends thought the car I drive around is a petite pink toy car, instead of a killer SUV that I enjoy to take out on a little road race. Seriously, how do people see me and think pink mini cooper anyway?











2. My mom still likes getting me obnoxious pink cupcakes, although she knows how much I love Muffins better. She wonders why I'm not really into cute food. CUTE FOOD?













3. I went to look for a new pretty dress with a friend a while back. She actually suggested this pink printed bandeau dress, instead of a gorgeous embroidered bustier one. Her excuse was the pink dress would emphasize my cuteness. Wow. Just wow.


















4. I told a guy friend at school I like playing X-Box and he pointed out to me Hello Kitty is not exactly a real game. WTF. He laughed on my face when I said I meant Grand Theft Auto IV.


















5. When I told people I'm a rapper they easily assumed I rap about shaking my pom-pom or worse, shaking my tambourine and get myself a whistlin' - > What does this even mean? Well I do know what that means but you know!

My songs are more like hers :
















Than hers :













Yes, boys. I know you're thinking, "Squee! boobies!".

Now, tell me, what are some big misconceptions about you?

    Haven't met you yet, so I can't tell. HAHAHAHA.
    It can be nice to be the girl, though sometimes, don't you think? Hehe.

    People in school just don't approach me. They say I have a stuck-up look, they say I look like a snob. I can't blame them, though... I have this bored look on my face most of the time, I can't help it!

  1. Unbreakable said...:

    People always think I am joking even when I am so serious. So the worst one was a fews weeks ago, I was on the train heading home, some marketing guy approached me and said I was looking well put together, I said ok, being this is New York I am curious as to what is his intention.

    So he asked me what I do, I said I am an Accountant.

    He replied, you’re looking kind of young to be an accountant.

    I said that’s what happens when you do what you have to do in school, and get over with it.

    I really wanted to blast him, but it would not have been nice of me.

  1. It's not so bad being cute and you have a cool rough edge! You definitely have the best of both worlds!! x

  1. Mary Elizabeth said...:

    What a great post! People always say I am way too sensitive and naive. What most people don't realize is that I have really been through a lot in my life, and when it is crisis time I am made of steel. I play the dumb, blonde role at times, but I truly do get it. =) P.S. What a killer dress on the left!

  1. .bethany. said...:

    A lot of people think I'm really shy, but I'm actually just quiet and observant. I'm almost always comfortable in social situations. The people that don't think I'm shy usually think I smoke a lot of pot...which I never have and probably never will. I still can't pinpoint THAT assumption. :)

  1. *Nic* said...:

    I have exactly the same problems because I look young and innocent! And I'm really not! I'm glad someone else is in the same boat, haha :)

  1. I know how it is to be labelled as cute sucks ass huh esp when youre quite...normal

  1. I'm sure there are misconceptions about me, but I don't know what they are. lol

  1. Sheri said...:

    That dress you liked is so much cuter than that other one! I can't believe someone (a friend even) suggested that one with giraffes... Wow. Also, nice car! I'd pick the SUV too. LOL.

    Hmm. Misconceptions about me...

    People think I am snobby/stuck up, and I am not.

    People think I'm maybe lazy because I'm overweight. I'm not at all, I actually eat really healthy and workout almost everyday of the week. Talk about bad genetics ugh!

    People think I'm hard to approach. I don't know how that is. I've gotten that comment since Jr. High with guys. WTF. I'm nice people!

  1. Muppet Soul said...:

    I, too, would've somehow thought pink mini-coop... None of the rest of it, though. :)

    Misconceptions about me?

    I guess that I have not a girly bone in my body ( false). Or that I can't be serious ( false). Orrrrrr that I'm anglo (false)... That I am inpenetrable to sensitivity (false). Or that I have a penis. ( true).

    Just kidding.

  1. Sam said...:

    It's great to know these things about you! The best way to make sure people don't get the wrong idea is to tell them the right idea yourself :)

  1. ____j said...:

    People think that because I'm shy, that really, I'm stuck up. And that is not the case, at all.

  1. LiLu said...:

    A lot of people think I'm a bitch. Correction: If I think you're dumb, rude, or a snob... I AM a bitch.

  1. you absolutely do not look like a legally blonde who loves pink, to me. LOL. but then again, i only see that through writing, i could be wrong ngah ha ha ha.since you're here to convince me (& the others), i'm convinced.

    some people think i'm 19 - which i absolutely do not look like one! i am more serious looking than a 19 year old... ahahah

  1. Sebastian said...:

    I strongly agree of the format of this post...!

    And your choices, too.

    Except for the pink Mini -- I'd take the pink Mini ANY day (wouldn't most girly girls...?)

  1. ScoMan said...:

    I've been thinking about a post like this for awhile.. but more answering to some of the complaints people have about my blog =p There you'll see my misconceptions.

    I think this is a great post though. Allows us to see who you really are instead of who the world wants you to be.

  1. DwikoArie said...:

    "Squee! boobies!".

  1. people don't think i'm as sensitive as i really am

  1. [F]oxymoron said...:

    Damn, and I had this image of you driving around in a killer Vespa!

  1. @Nashe : That's because school is boring, I have the same look. Only sleepy :P

    @Unbreakable : What a sad guy, you're definitely younger but more capable than he is.

    @Jen : I never really think it that way, but what an insight. Thanks :)

    @Mary Elizabeth : That's a really good quality to have :) The dress on the left is from Marchesa. Super adorable isn't it?

    @Bethany : People think that about quiet girls, maybe because quiet people are so intriguing :D

    @Nic : Yeah I can so relate, babe. It's okay maybe we'll be happpier having this condition when we're older.

    @Girl In A Journey : I ammm normal :P

    @Jaime : lol if there's no misconception about you thatd be great for you :)

    @Sheri : I'm sure you're not stuck up, Sheri. I wonder why people can even think that.

    @Muppet Soul : LOL every girl has girly bone in their bodies, one way or another really.

    @Sam : Haha I'm glad I did :)

    @J : Yeah, it's weird huh? I find myself shy in a lot of settings also then people begin whispering :(

    @Seb : I'm unlike most girls in that particular field :P I like em big cars :P

    @Scoman : oh you should post about it so I can read. I enjoy your blog, whoever doesn't might have a serious problem.

    @SwikoArie : Haha.

    @Lilu : oooh remind me not to get on your bad side :P

  1. Rose and Jill said...:

    I loved this post! I'll have to think about this one :)
    -R

  1. Casey McGill said...:

    I completely get the cute thing too! But then I am actually the baby of the family, and I guess a lot of the x's were things I have but I don't try. I'd love to hear ya rap tho. The world needs more girl rappers.

  1. ko0ty said...:

    People don't approach me either because they think I look intimidating and bitchy.. but I swear I'm not ALL THE TIME. =P It's all good for me though because most of the time I don't feel too social anyway.

  1. nityamonto said...:

    yeeeeaaaaayyy i ride the same car like youu.. but mine is the black one. ((((=

    some people always call me with "Bu", like my appearance is too mature or something but I hate it when they said that.

  1. floreta said...:

    lol i love this entry!! and i totally love pink cupcakes, pink donuts (with sprinkles!!) and i want a mini cooper!!!

    i have no shame.

    i'm not sure the misconceptions about me. i know people are surprised when they find out i take karate (ok, i JUST started, but before this i took it for two years!)

  1. Ramadhani said...:

    people always think i am such a girl with no brain since i joined (yeah we can say) the it peer in my high school. i sink to take science major in my school than comes rumor that i could do that just because my score coincidentally fulfill the requirement.
    oh c'mon! you dont even SAY HI to me at all but you think you are such an expert that know me WELL huh, guys??!!!


    oke. enough about misconception about me because i wanna ask you something :)
    i want to start making a blog but i always got stuck with the choice of layouts (fyi my passion for making a blog could totally lost when i didn't found a good layout :| ) . can you please tell me where can i find good layouts (just like yours for example) ?

  1. Misconceptions, wow, that's pretty cool. I might copy your post and do my own version. People think that because I enjoy fashion - learning, reading and writing about fashion - that's all I'm passionate about or that's all I am capable of writing about. This, however, is not the case. I'm a journalism student. I love hard news. In fact, I'd take The New York Times over Vogue any day. People think that girls who care about how they dress are stupid - I consider such a preconceived notion to be extremely vapid and shallow. I don't think I'm stupid and I know girls that take care of themselves and dress well and happen to be some of the most intelligent people I've met.

  1. Jessy said...:

    Everyone always thinks I'm so mature and quiet and studious. The other day at school this girl was actually trying to feed off of me for a quiz we were supposed to have, and was shocked when I told her that I had not done the reading or the assignment. It's SO annoying, but I actually think I would much rather have your misconception. At least people think your interesting. All people want to do is use me lol.

  1. People think I'm more outgoing than I actually am or would like to be.

  1. Michael said...:

    If you think any guys think, "Squee!" then you have some wrong idea of your own. :P

  1. Larissa said...:

    hello kitty? really?!! yikes nuh uh. no way not for you girl!

    everyone thinks im such a good girl...hmm if only they knew my bad girl side. i could make a naturally bad girl look bad. ;D

  1. Chase said...:

    the big misconception is that i went "squee boobies" at the sight of that last picture.
    in fact, I was horrified.

  1. rima fauzi said...:

    ppl get the wrong idea about me ALL THE TIME. They think im this awesome goddess who can do no wrong. Well Im not.
    Im an awesome goddess who can do no wrong except when ive had a few shots of tequilas, then i do EVERYTHING wrong. lol

  1. Gracie said...:

    I hate it when people get the wrong idea about me too. I laughed when I saw the cars because I would definitely be the pink mini cooper =p

    At the moment can't really think of any misconceptions which is weird.

  1. great post concept! i get the same thing alll the time. i think it's because we're asian. HAHAHAHA

  1. amindinmotown said...:

    HOLY CRAP that dress (the one you liked) is gorgeous.

    People often think I'm stupid. I lack common sense, so they assume I'm not that intelligent. But in reality, I'm pretty damn smart. I just don't have the street smarts down as well as I possibly should.

  1. I love the the bustier dress. I'm keeping an eye out for one next time I go shopping. Ah, so many misconceptions about me. I don't even know where to begin.

  1. @rose : thanks please do so i can read :)

    @Casey : ah it's like babies of the world unite lol kidding. But good you like it, i complain about it all the time.

    @Kooty : You look fierce with your style, Kooty. I like it.

    @Nitya : Oh we so don't deserve Bu anytime soon, lets kick some asses.

    @Floreta : Nothing wrong with liking pink, its being associated to be a cutesie girly baby all the time that might come off annoying. Anw, I think karate is awesome.

    @Ramadhani : You didnt leave your links so I dont know how to get tp you, email me so I can write you about it :)

    @The Fashion Dungjen : People in fashion are surely not cooped like that, I agree. They have to know a lot of things at the same time, like writing. So with your journalism major, you can go real far..good for you :)

    @Jessy : ah I so would love for people to see i know things and i can be smart too. LOL. Trade?;)

    @Just Playing Pretend : I get the same thing too sometimes.

    @Michael : hahaha my bad, but some men do say squee boobies over that pic.

    @Larissa : LOL rightttt? Yeah i get the innocent image too which I hate.

    @Chase : aw my bad, you're a good guy for not squealing. May I ask why the pic is horrifying though?
    LOL

    @rima fauzi : tequilas are too awesome :)

    @Gracie : LOL pink mini cooper is indeed cute, I just dont like the stereotype :P

    @Gemma : Hahaha yeahhh only by being asian itself some stereotypes just follow us everywhere.

    @MinD : You're the last person in my mind who can't be called not smart you know. You are smart, see how many times I wrote in your comments how much I like your thoughtful post?:)

    @Angel : Like what, Angel? Don't let it bring you down, people are just intimated sometimes by super woman like you :) Let me know if you get the dress..

  1. Sarahahaha said...:

    omg that Marchesa dress is amazing. I love it. And the other dress? Yeah, not nearly so amazing.

    Most people are surprised to find out that I skipped a grade in school and I played piano, violin, bass guitar and drums. lol I think it's my fault though because I always tried to downplay those things because my classmates would always say stuff like "Oh it's because you're Asian."

    Bah.

  1. Maxie said...:

    Everyone always assumes that because I'm from WV that I love country music. I don't hate it, but rap is by far my favorite.

  1. Larissa said...:

    I'm not a frilly, cutesy girl either. But I do enjoy celebrating my feminine side now and then.

  1. Megan said...:

    I def. feel you! I'm always the cute one that people feel the need to look out for. I know I'm young and I look younger but I promise I can take care of myself!

  1. Anna Lorraine said...:

    i've been reading your blog ever since you left me that comment (a month ago?) lol and i'm ashamed to say i haven't heard your songs. I should def. go check it out. =)

    love jean grae. sucks that i've only been to her show once a couple years ago... it was pretty fuckin awesome!

  1. chekka cuomova said...:

    LOL LOL LOL!!!
    I guess it's all because of your cute face, dear. people do judge by its cover, non? ;)

  1. talia said...:

    hahahhahaha i like the pink dress!

  1. Daisy said...:

    I love this!!! People get the wrong ideas about me ALL OF THE TIME too. And I mean ALL OF THE TIME - and even about dumb things like that green must be my favorite color in the ENTIRE WORLD just because I have red hair. umm ... no - it's not.
