I've been tagged! (stolen from BrattyBlue)

--------------

Write 20 random things about you and tag as many people as the number of minutes you took in doing this.

1. I became an F. Sionil Jose fan -one of the major reasons why I went to UST in the first place- since I read Gagamba during high school for our book report. He's my favorite local author.

2. Unlike most people out there, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code failed to capture my fascination. The content was amusing and the conspiracy theories he had sewed together were altogether amusing. But I find his storytelling style was nothing more than common. I've read better material by some less known,less accomplished authors.

3. I once had a crush on a video game character: Sakura from the Street Fighter games. I'm still trying to move on with Psylocke's death, though.

4. My call center work ruined my patience and my hearing. Now I can't understand anything when I some other noises in the room- all I could hear are some vague murmuring. And then I get irritated. GRRR!

5. I recently finished a song while standing in line to buy an MRT ticket. I have yet to write it down, polish the melody, tempo and think of a title.

6. Despite looking like a drug addict, war freak and sex maniac (as I was told by close friends), I have got to be the nicest person you can meet on the street. In other words, uto-uto.

7. I am addicted to Photoshop.

8. I think I've stopped growing. Although I've been told I look fairly young when I shave.

9. I don't usually smile in pictures...

10. My favorite colors: black, gray, gree, red and blue.


11. I no longer drink coffee. I prefer mint green tea, steamed milk or milk-based caramel frappe whenever I'm in some coffee shop.

12. I need to buy a new cellphone. The one I'm using right now has its phone memory busted. I also want to have Twisted Halo's Public Service Announcement as a ring tone, something my Samsung won't allow.

13. If you missed my CAT and ROTC days, you'll probably never get a chance to see me wear a hat. Except when I'm at home, I'll never wear sandals or flipflops. I'll never have my head shaved...unless you pay me 1M or hold a gun to my head.

14. My high school friends once mentioned how nice, sweet and thoughtful I was...my current friends disagree, in fact they think I was lying.

15. I can't sing a normal song without being interrupted by a bout of cough or some sneezing fit.

16. Despite appearing to be unfeeling and cold, I'm too caring for me to admit.

17. I'm allergic to sea food. I get an unpleasant stomach when I eat anything with gata except laing. I'll never be a food critic. I sneeze too easily because I have rhinitis. I sneeze whenever it's cold, too hot, when it's too bright, when it's dusty or I smell someone's strong cologne/perfume (I call "dinurog na langgam"). Which is why I don't by bottles of perfume or cologe.

18. Even after years of knowing some band members who I simply look up to, I've never had any fan pictures taken with them.

19. I don't know why, but I seem to have lost my love for beer and other alocoholic drinks. I miss the idea of me drinking, but not the drinks. Labo.

20. Around 80% of what I know and do today are self-taught. I never did get to attend any special courses for these. And the ones that I did get to learn from attending classes lay unused.
