25 Random Things

Repost from Facebook and Multiply.

1. My name should have been Ma. Lourdes as insisted by my Lola since I was born on February 11, the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes.

2. I don't know how to swim but I could float well with face facing up.

3. I was 15 when I had my first out of town trip without parents tagged along. I was with my sister Jaene along with our ballet friends. We attended a 1 week ballet conference at the Teacher's Camp in Baguio. The "emergency" money was handed to my sister (two years younger than me) since she is the more responsible offspring.

4. We had a santol and bayabas tree when we were young (before our house got renovated), but I never had a single taste of santol and bayabas.
5. I was taught how to drive when I was 13, and 15 years more, i'm still learning how to. I have a non-pro license though.

6. I love editing my photos in photoshop. I seldom post my pics in raw. Feeling ko kase, hubad ang photo ko pag di ko ni-edit.

7. During my early years at work, when I used to do graveyard shift, the most important thing to bring was my shades (as important as my cellphone and wallet). If I realize that I forogt to bring it, kahit malayo na narating ko, I'd still go back to the house and get it. It was pure torture to my eyes when I get out of the office on broad daylight, that sometimes I feel I'll vomit.

8. I love pastel colors. I hate black and other dark colors. I have no black garment in my closet.

9. My shoe size is 7, body size (US standard) is 6. (hint to those who want to gift me with shoes and clothes.. hehehe)

10. Chocolates, I don't think I can live without it.

11. I don't drink because I don't like the taste of alcohol, unless it's Bailey's. I have only been drunk once in my life. I was 16 then, and drinking with friends seemed a cool thing to do. When the alcohol had set in, I vomitted non stop and was so drunk that one friend needed to literally drag me to get home.

12. I don't smoke. Tried it once when I was 16 but didn't like it.

13. House and Gossip Girl addict.

14. I have stopped eating meaties (chix, porky, beef) since 2008. I substitute seafoods for meat.


15. I don't feel comfortable on having a heavy breakfast. I would only have fruits for breakfast, usually bananas or mangoes.

16. The sight of blood makes my knees weak that I can't even look at my own wound. But I don't mind getting pricked in donating blood.

17. I don't mind being alone in watching a movie and eating in a crowded resto.

18. I can't watch horror movies and I can't stand torture scenes.

19. I used to be a Friendster addict, but I lost interest in it since I started Multiply-ing and Face Book-ing. I only open my Friendster account if somebody added me in their friends' list.

20. I am nearsighted, poor eyesight at night or at dimly lighted environment. I would not be able to recognize a person's face unless he/she is at least 3 or 4 meters away from me (I would be able to only if I recognize his/her attire or his/her stance).

21. I always bring an umbrella, for sun and for rain. If I get exposed under the sunlight for too long migraine soon attacks and rashes would sprout from my skin.

22. I am fascinated with old houses, old buildings, antique furnitures.

23. I am Catholic but I believe in reincarnation, feng shui, astrology, soul mate, and other new age stuffs.

24. I never had a tattoo in my life.

25. Kaladkarin. From Pacita to any point of Luzon to anywhere else.
