TWENTY RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME (i got tagged. everyone got tagged.)
1. I have really small feet. (If you know this already and you feel I've said it a million times, you ought to understand how disturbing it is to have small feet)
2. I'm not interesting, I bore myself sometimes. (At least I admit it).
3. I don't eat balut. Or penoy. Or day old chicks. (I eat everything else)
4. I'm so random I'm having difficulty thinking about random things about me. (Since almost everything about me is random).
5. I cry on a random basis. I cry over the strangest things. My tears are as weird as I am, they're triggered by an unknown force. I cried when Wolfwood died, when Kimi Go Nozumu Eien ended, at one episode of Wish Ko Lang where this barrio lass ran away from her grandparents ten years ago. She arrives at Metro Manila, got raped, became a prostitute, and returns back to the province. She was walking down the long asphalt road when she saw her gradmother from a distance, sitting under a mango tree. She runs and hugs her. She started weeping and cried, "Lola, andito na akooo!" (I'm already here!)
The grandmother blinks twice, and slowly said, "Sino ka, iha?" (Who are you?)
Later, the girl sees her grandfather sitting at their porch. She kissed her grandfather's hand. With an air of indifference, he looked at her wife, "Sino ba ito?" (Who is this?) and we hear the old lady's voice. "Si Anna daw." He looked surprised. "Hindi siya yun." (She's not Anna)
The scene killed me. Don't we feel that way sometimes when we carry on about something with utmost passion, and people don't give a fig?
I guess that's beside the point, but anyway.
6. I love talking to kids. It's basically easier to start a conversation with one. Plus, they make more sense than adults. Plus, there's such a thing as little prissies, and they're usually the ones who're scared of me.
7. In a nutshell, and I suppose you should've known this by now, I'm moody...
8. ...and if you haven't noticed, I'm crazy too.
9. I'm the eldest of five. Craziest, bossiest. You know the drill.
10. I love rain. No, not the actor slash singer. The harder the rain, the better.
11. Congratulations, you've come this far and you're still reading this.
12. Everytime I go biking, Gorillaz' 19-2000 plays inside my head. It never fails.
13. Kurosawa Kiyoshi's Cure is my favorite movie of all time. I've only seen it once: I'm having trouble looking for a copy.
14. Rage is my friend. I fear of snapping, suddenly, instantaneously, like a twitch gone mad. Alas, it never happens.
15. I believe in a thing called love, but love never believes in me.
16. I hate French lessons. When we were in high school we would play hide and seek with Madame Janine Audrain, and it was much more fun than learning the language. One time she caught me hiding in one of the comfort room cubicles. She pulled my ear all the way to the guidance office, where I was always a welcome guest. :D
17. The closest friends I ever had were always born on the month of October.
18. I'm scared of the Philippine National Anthem at nights: it was something I couldn't get rid of. Don't you just hate it when you're watching TV, the station's signing off, and they play Lupang Hinirang? The same thing happens in radio stations, and ever since I was young, I freak out. It's either I turn the TV or radio off, or leave the room. If you force me to listen to it, I will: a) cry uncontrollably b) shake with fear c) scream
Naturally, I've tried to analyze why. Probably it registered in my mind that hearing it would be the end of all things. I don't know. My whole family knows this, and as crazy as it sounds, they know what to do.
Now that it's public, maybe it'll go away.
19. I can't sleep without reading.
20. I'm a menthol dependent. You know, those chinese menthol sticks covered in foil? My favorite brand is Bohrer Ding and when I was working at MCI I used to consume one whole stick per week. Now that I have less stress, I only use it before sleeping, and on really annoying situations. It's waay better than cigarettes -- at least I can't think of any side effects.
THERE YOU GO. I TAG EVERYONE BACK.
