Facebook's 25 Random Things About Me

Thought I should post this list I made for my Facebook account. It's just me and the stupid things I do. Oh, well...

1. I don't know how to ride a bike. Wtf! I never learned how to ride one when I was a kid because first, I'm not really good at balancing myself, up to now, and second, I was so scared of falling over and getting ugly bruises and scars on my legs (I was always told to take care of my legs). Ironically though, my one and only scar that I have on my legs came from a freakin' bicycle. I was riding on the sidecar of my friend's bike when I accidentally cut myself from a metal protruding near the seat of her bike. It got infected and all and now it looks like I have a 25 centavo coin sticked to my left leg. Wtf!

2. I enjoyed chemistry and physics in highschool because of our teacher Ms. Suniega. I especially enjoyed the contests we had wherein each row will go up against each other and race in answering our teacher's questions in the blackboard. Whichever row wins will have additional points added to their quizzes. I remembered one time we had a quiz wherein the total score reached 1000 points (that high because each question was worth like 10 points, I think some even reached 50 points per question) and I got like 950+ points and since our row won the contest we each get additional 50 points and after that my total score reached 1000+ points. It's more than a perfect score. Hahaha!

3. I almost flunked my Rizal subject in college for the silliest of reasons: I rarely attend our classes because I was so engrossed in playing tong-its with my friends. We were that addicted to tong-its we even rented a boarding house so we could play tong-its non-stop and we would even spend over-nighters there. Silly!

4. I cry a lot. I have easy tears. I cry over sappy movies, I cry when I'm mad, I cry when I fight with my boyfriend, I even cry when I have my facial wtf!

5. I love to travel and experience new things. My dream destination is Paris and Greece.

6. I read blogs everyday. I'm currently into Malaysian blogs. My favorites are Su-Ann, Audrey and Tim. I never thought Malaysians could speak that good English. I thought we Filipinos are better in English than them. Apparently, our English is rusting while theirs is rapidly advancing. And are there really that many Chinese in Malaysia? I have never read a Malaysian blog written by a Malay, all of them are Chinese-Malaysians. Hmmm!

7. I don't know how to cook. But now, my boyfriend is teaching me how to cook because he is afraid that he will eat canned-goods and fast-food for all of our married life. Now, I am happy to announce that I now know how to cook fried rice and adobo. I thank you! Bow!

8. I don't know how to clean and paint my nails. I always have to go to the salon just to have them done. What an idiot!

9. I studied in a Catholic school from elementary to highschool. We would pray every flag ceremony, before and after classes, Angelus at 12nn, the 3 O'clock Prayer every 3pm, Novena every Wednesday, Mass every first Friday of the month, Mass every Sunday, confession every month. I was even a commentator and lector during masses since I was a member of the Liturgical Committee. Having said that, you would think that I am a devout Catholic and have an unshakeable faith. But I don't. I don't go to mass anymore because I don't feel anything when I'm in Church. My last confession was before my highschool graduation. I don't really know what is happening to me but I do have lots of questions about my faith. I don't believe everything that is written in the Bible. I am literally losing my religion. But I still believe in God. He is just different to me as He is to most of you. Ok, so I think I'll burn in hell because of this.

10. They said signs of aging becomes visible at age 25. I believe it now. So I think I should start using an anti-aging cream. Wtf!

11. I regretted taking up accountancy in college. I don't think this is the right path for me. I am currently analyzing my options and contemplating on what I really wanna do with my life. Hope it's not too late.

12. I am currently addicted to Body Combat of Fitness First. I love all the punching and kicking and all the action of it. I just hope I'll see the results soon.

13. I want to try sky diving at least once before I die. For the meantime, I'll try parasailing when I get to Boracay this month. It's the closest I can get to sky diving just yet.

14. I thought I will kill myself at 16. I sort of forgot.

15. I started drinking when I was in college. We have this every other day, albeit sometimes everyday, drinking session back in college because of our long vacant periods. We would sometimes attend our classes all drunk and one time our law professor asked us why it smells like chico in the room. We just kept our mouth shut. It's not something to be proud of. But they were good times. And I am now reformed. =)

16. I am often asked if I'm related to Smokey Manaloto. Wtf! Well I'm not.

17. I hate okra! Yuck!

18. I love math. Back in highschool, I represent our school during inter-school competitions and I won a couple of times. Ha! But now, I think I lost it in me. Blame it on technology!

19. I used to collect stationeries back in grade school. My friends and I would use our collections to write daily notes to one another. I kinda miss those days. Today, when I see a Papemelrotti paper, I remember Che.

20. For almost a year a now, I'm afraid to sleep alone. This is due to a traumatizing experience I had a couple of months ago. The thing is, I used to share an apartment with my uncle. One morning, I woke up and found him dead in the living room. He had a heart attack. They said he was already dead for hours when I found him. There I was sleeping soundly in my room oblivious to the fact that my uncle was already dead. I'm still not over that experience. I think it will take time before I fully recovered. Sigh!

21. I usually get disappointed when I hear myself sing. I sound better in my head. Wtf!

22. I rarely watch the news (especially the local news) cause I only get disappointed and irritated. Damn those politicians can't they get their acts straight?

23. I am moody and I often get irritated even with the littlest of things. I hate it when people act so morosely obtuse! Please don't push your luck with me that far.

24. I really wanted to become an astronomer. I love seeing heavenly bodies and i want them revolving around me. Joke! Lol!

25. I am satisfied with some parts of my life right now and is aching for change in some. Life is a never-ending journey. I will just be ready for whatever life will throw my way.

Grace,

Just found you blog at http://cheeserland.com/. Ringo Tan who goes by the name Cheesie is another malayasian who is a big blogger. An interesting Singapore blogger to visit - http://pigllisyap.wordpress.com/

Reading about losing one Religion is very distressing. However this happens to almost every young person. The struggle with faith and a belief system. The secular world is always distracting us. Offering to make everything easy. Even if what we choose to do is wrong. Sex without thinking or taking responsibility. Drug use. Abortion and the tendency to fall into the use of moral equivalancy.

For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," and
"The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." So
don't ever let us boast of men, or of ourselves. Don't let us be
impressed with Ph.D.'s, or millions of dollars, or glamor or fame,
or titles a mile long, or recognition banquets.

Even if you do not regularly pray, try praying to Him in your own words. The Lord never abandons his children.

I look forward to following you blog from the U.S.A!

Magkaroon ng isang magandang araw ang aking mga kaibigan!
