So there!
1. joined amateur singing contest at 4. lost. got ice drop for a prize. (mama wanted a crooner son)
2. went to grade 1 at 5 (since i was a failure in #1, mama then wanted a scholar son) but took grade 3 twice.
3. rumored to have fallen from the monkey bars in grade 3 (probably the reason of the "BUT" in #2). can't remember but accepted the rumor as fact.
4. became out-of-school-youth due to #3. so i smoked my first yosi at 9. B.I.? ang tambay nga silingan sa Ampayon.
5. first disappointment: ralph got accepted to volleyball team in grade 6. i got rejected. i taught ralph how to play. classic case of student outsmarting (or outplaying) the teacher. ;-)
6. nobody knows this: i was a stalker at 12. she was 2 years my senior. volleyball player. her brother is my batch. ;-)
7. never got elected as President/Mayor/Governor. always VICE. next: P.R.O.
8. tardiness is next to godliness: HS: missed the first-period classes; COLLEGE: i was a nerd so N.A.; BPI: office at 9 AM; CITI MNL: office at 9:30, CITI SING: office at 10. i just love Singapore!
9. nick evolution: ingking-id-ed-eds-etch-etchiks-edz-eggshells-edge-edsul-sul-eggshulls-sarge
10. hate sunrise, love sunset
11. owl/evening person/insomniac (in other words: i hate morning persons with their chirpy good mornings)
12. addiction: alcohol (faves: tequila shots, vodka lemon drops, SMB, Hoegaarden, asahi, red horse para tipid hubog dayon and my ultimate basagan long island I.T.)
13. this year, cutting down on # 12 due to advancing age. status so far: SUCCESS!
14. hated music until i stumbled into trance/house/club/techno. yes, they're music
15. i work hard, i party harder. (can be related to #14. go figure)
16. dislike sharings during prayer meetings. they all seem to have the biggest problems. i get pressured coz i don't. sometimes i just make them up so i have something to share.
17. restored the FAITH. had my epiphany in 2008 in ironically, non-Catholic Singapore. God works in mysterious ways.
18. always the optimist. not a quitter. in short, stubborn.
19. loves flying & fascinated with airplanes & airports. i now collect airplane models.
20. travel trivia: was denied boarding & left by my plane several times (domestic & international) reason? refer to # 8.
21. i love blogging but i hardly post in my DEACTIVATING THE AUTOPILOT blog coz i can't rant about my job there. so i have a secret blog. gained several hits, anonymous cyber-friends & loyal followers. embrace technology!
22. i splurge on travel. next stop: Australia in May (will skydive)
23. a chronic ningas cogon: enrolled in a photography class but didn't even attend a single class; took Masters of Stat in UP but went AWOL after 2 sems; recently read 4 books but stopped halfway . . .
