A co-worker of mine was thinking of songs to download in her phone and so she asked me to mention one by one the singers I have in my own playlist just so she gets an idea. I was surprised when she, together with another co-worker, started laughing when I mentioned Ja Rule, Nelly, Flo Rida, Pit Bull and LMFA,O and all the other rap and hip hop songs and artists in my playlist.
"Ms. Jam, is it Nelly or Nelly Furtado?" she asked with a smirk.
"Nelly...", I confirmed by playing "Hot in Here".
They couldn't believe their ears and they couldn't stop laughing. I still have a picture in my mind of their reactions - eyes and mouth, wide open!
"Ooooh snap Ms. Jam! I didn't know you listen to those kinds of songs! " the other one commented.
"Why not?!" I asked.
"It's just that we never imagined you listening to that kind of music. I imagine you more singing Kumbaya Kumbaya...," she replied with a laugh.
"And Ja Rule?! Ohhhh you have a Black in you Ms. Jam!"
That was funny. :-) I guess a lot of people just don't know me that well, maybe because I just don't easily open up to everyone. One has to get to know me well to know the real me.
Oh yes, I do party (not a lot though). I dance. I love music. I might seem quiet and simple but I am not that naive. ;-j I am not boring either! I can count with my fingers the times I've been to bars and clubs (and I still sometimes refer to them as discos...how old school!) but the few times I went, I easily did adapt. And I did have fun. In fact, I've always danced the night away, mind you, even in 3-inch stilettos!
I am a preschool teacher...I enjoy being with kids. I don't have much of a social life nor a love life at the moment...But don't underestimate me...coz guess what?!...
Ms. Jam got SWAG...
Yes...only Something We Asians Got!Lol
Now I'm wondering...how do people perceive me?
How do you?
