JUST FACTS... Version 2

After a very uneventful birthday last year, I was only waiting for my mom's GO signal (ows? pinilit nga ba?) to finally extand/ overstay and celebrate it home. It's not everyday that I spend my birthday on a Friday and looking at it now, It would have been utterly stupid to just go 2 days before my birthday? Ano ko bale???

A person's birthday is that one day that we all can claim to ourselves, in short to be excuse-fully SELFISH about everything. And so what better way to do it than by wasting your time on some silly facts about me:

1. If you don't know it by now (kailangan pa bang imemorize yan?!) I am from a very big, HUGE family. And one of my biggest concerns whenever I live away from home is that my nieces and nephews would forget about me. Or that I would miss a lot on my family's happenings!

Speaking of family events, here's my family







celebrating my birthday....

... not just once, but 3 times in different venues!





2. I am a very picky person, especially in terms of my friends. My dad always, always stressed this out, that we should learn to be able to choose our friends for they can often bring us up or pull us down. I have a handful of people I know by name and face, but I also have a lot I consider my treasures in this lifetime.

And here's a bunch of them who came and celebrated their Friday night with me!




3. I am obsessed with my name, it's probably one of those brilliant things that my parents did to me pre-birth!


4. Just recently I realized that my fear of mascots can be traced back to childhood memories of Takeshi's Castle. I remember being scared of Master Takeshi's head (which one?!); and also those 2 goons from the show that chases around people through doors and if caught would rub black makeup on your face. SCARY!!!

5. I am honestly scared of cats; and believe it or not, whenever I see or dare to look at one (whether in a movie, cartoon, or WORSE in real life) that would mean that I would have a NIGHTMARE about them! Really disturbing!

6. If you want to see the worst of my temper, wake me up UNEXPECTEDLY. One of the things that I hate most is when someone wakes me up. It's true for me with what they say, lokohin mo na ang lasing wag lang ang bagong gising or make that WAG MO LANG AKONG GISINGIN! I wake up on my own, you dont need to bother with me!!!

7. I love to sneeze... always WITH FEELINGS!

8. Every time I watch children perform, whether a simple song, or a dance number. No matter how happy the occasion I often cry!!! I cry because just like their parents, I am proud of their little achievements.

9. I cry when you cry. Whenever I see someone, anyone, I know (or even those I do not know) cry, it also makes me cry! Wuss!

10. When I was a kid and it was time for our afternoon nap, I often hid in my room and would line up my dolls and pretend they were my students. I would make the wall my blackboard and just loved playing pretend school with them!

11. Jason Webb will always have a big part in my heart! Yiiiiiiihhhhhh-hA!

12. I black out when I'm totally drunk, wasted!

13. I am very matampuhin. Little things get to me and when they do sometimes it takes a while before I go back to my usual self.

14. I'm the type that often PLANS things and when I want to go out or do something, I often start by asking people of their plans.

15. I can drive, but when I do, please, please do not distract me! My multi-tasking capability is in 0 gear when I am driving.
