seven random things about me

October 29, 2008

I’ve been tagged by Rico (thanks!) and so now, I would share things that first came to mind (and that I would like to share) about me:

1. I am the only child of my parents (but FAR from being spoiled), and grew up as the only girl in the whole clan. I lived in a compound, so my cousins were like brothers to me.

2. My father and I have the same birthday. This may perhaps explain my super love for my dad (and the same behaviors)!

3. I like boys (oh no, not in that way!). I mean the ratio of my girl friends to my guy friends is 4 is to 10. I am more comfortable with males (see items 1 and 2). Relatively, I have deeper friendships with males (right, eks?). I have many inaanaks from them. haha. My ninongs and ninangs and relatives used to think I was a tomboy. I hated wearing dresses and enjoyed wearing shorts. I have a collection of toy guns and toy cars, and the Barbie dolls people gave me were never taken out of the box. haha. Now, I always get comments from family friends whom I saw again after a long time, “It’s a good thing you’re a girl now. I thought you’re a lesbian.” Still, at times, my guy cousins would always remark, “tomboy ka talaga!” Grrrrrr!

4. I was accelerated once in elementary, and almost kicked out in high school. I read Noli Me Tangere when I was in grade 3, and up to now, I haven’t finished all my school readings since high school. haha. I’m a good example of “tumatandang paurong.” [kg, we’ve talked about this.]

5. I like listening to and watching news. The first thing I do when I wake up is to open the radio and listen to DZMM (Tambalang Failon and Sanchez is my favorite) while preparing to go to work. Before I sleep, I watch local news on TV and set the off timer.

6. I had a car accident when I was in college. It was a head-on collision with a drunk driver who fell asleep while driving. My head smashed into the windshield, and so I had stitches in my forehead. It’s a good thing the Harry Potter book was a hit then, so people called me Harry Potter instead of who knows what name they may think of. :) Thanks to the cosmetic surgeon in the hospital where I was brought, he made my scar not so noticeable. Note: I never had trauma driving.

7. I like driving, and I like driving fast. Dad started teaching me how to drive when I was in grade 3 due to my persistence. By grade 4, I can already drive inside the subdivision and by grade 5, outside, despite of my mother’s vehement disapproval. My dad would put two pillows in the driver’s seat so I could see through the windshield. My kid neighbor, who was my classmate, thought our car was moving without a driver. He’s funny!

There you go–the things about me. I had fun doing this.

I’d like to know what you would say about yourselves, eks and ka!

On post #3: Zoe’s showing signs of being like that. She adores her dad so much and prefers to wear shorts or pants. She hates wearing dresses. She also prefers toys for boys than girls. Sana in time lumaking girl din!

Mordsith, I guess we have a lot in common: four out of seven (items 4 to 7)!!! Well, we sort of knew that about each other anyway. Sana lang ang pagtanda natin ng paurong eh matigil na… :)

Posted by maidapaypay at October 30, 2008, 1:42 pm

“Relatively, I have deeper friendships with males (right, eks?)”

were you referring to your “guy friends” when you used “relatively,” i.e., relatively guy friends o relatively males? myahaha! (hello, fafa roger! miss you, mwah!)

and thank you for tagging me. i’ll do this over the weekend. i’ll make you proud, promise. hehehe.

Posted by eks at October 31, 2008, 6:28 am

c’mon eks! you know you don’t have to do anything to make me proud of you. already am. :)

but DO the post! haha.

Na-accelerate ka pala. Isa kang HENYO!

Posted by bitter:sweet wife at November 3, 2008, 6:00 pm

what you do you mean you have been tagged?

Posted by spiky at November 5, 2008, 3:34 pm

uh oh.. ako na lang di nakakagawa nito. galit na si KG haha. I also had a car accident when I was in college. It collided against an uprooted tree during a typhoon. my dad was my only passenger. The windshield shattered into thousand pieces. i never used that car since then.

Posted by kuyanin at November 5, 2008, 4:39 pm

after much effort to restore my car, despite my vehement disapproval, my parents sold my car. my car and i had so much memories. haay. :)

good thing we didn’t have fatal injuries from the accident. i’ve had another minor accident after that, fortunately, i survived… again. hehe.

Posted by mordsith at November 5, 2008, 5:02 pm

Why just seven,
not eight or nine?
You think it’s heaven?
I think it’s fine…

This one is cool. I am glad you did this, in order for us to know more of each other. Thanks! Linked you up already!

Posted by sheng at November 6, 2008, 11:28 am

ay naku you really like driving fast! grabe kang bata ka!

Posted by mimmy jo at November 7, 2008, 10:18 pm

I do really like your great data! Could you create the academic essay for example? Because I do know that a great essays online service can write well researched research papers of superior quality.
