25 random facts

i've started reading different versions of this since last year but it's just now that i had the urge to write about 25 facts that people ought to know about me (hehe, as if i'm a very important and interesting person *wink*) . initially, i didn't want to do this, but since i need to do some sort of introduction for my second blog, i decided to do so anyway .hence, here goes nothing...


1. i don't think i have the knack for writing but i've always loved it. writing has been a part of me since i was in elementary. used to write poems back then. in college, i developed love for news and feature writing and now, i get to enjoy academic writing.. hehe

2. i love singing. hehe. i sing to my heart's content :)

3. i used to love reading books but now i don't have the luxury of time to do so.

4. i luuuuurve eating.. hehe, my regular serving of rice is 1 and a half cups.. yum yum :)

5. i'm not picky when it comes to food. i eat everything that's edible, except balot :p

6. there are habits that i want to break: drinking coffee more than once a day and smoking

7. i can now cook and i'm loving it. i mastered cooking comfort food. i would love to learn cooking gourmet meals in the future.

8. i love watching teleseryes and tagalog movies. some would find this too 'masa' but i don't care! love your own :D

9. i have two older sisters but i'm the tallest and thinnest (and prettiest! ^^).

1o. i used to be an insomniac. but now, i sleep early and for loooong hours! wahaha

11. i used to hate waking up early but now i wake up as early as 3am for work. During weekends, I still wake up early, around 7 or 8, to enjoy the morning sun :)

12. i'm a couch potato but i avoid to be one these days because of the too much schoolwork.

13. i'm a mouse potato as well. hehe, i love spending hours infront of my laptop surfing or blogging.

14. i hate people who laugh at other people's mistakes and people who give unsolicited advice. please, just be mum when you're not asked of your opinion.

15. i'm about to finish my master's degree. this is my last term (hopefully! ^^)

16. i haven't gotten a grade of 4 in any of my subjects because of half -baked outputs and little time to study...if i could only turn back time, i'd give out my best and all

17. i don't like reciting or expressing my ideas, especially in class.. i prefert to listen to other people's idea...

18. at work, however, i get to talk. i share ideas and inputs. it's awesome to be sharing something substantive.

19. i'm in love with linguistics!

20. when i turned one, i could speak in straight sentences and i could articulate words well. i was too 'madaldal' according to my yaya back then. ..

21. when i was younger, i haven't really had the chance to speak in English mainly because we speak our first language language, Bicol, at home. it's just now that i get to talk in the said language and it's amazing how i turned to be a neutral (and good! hehe) speaker of English...i guess my teacher in psycholinguistics was right: once the first language is grounded, it would be easier to learn and acquire any other language.

22. i'm a very sensitive person. hehe, emphasis on 'very' please! sometimes, it causes me pain and feelings that i don't deserve or i'm not supposed to have...

22. i'm a proud nagueña! i sooo love my hometown! had i the time (and money), i'd go home as often as i could.

23. i value friendship so much. i'm guilty of not showing up lately, but i could assure them that they're in my heart and always part of my prayers.

24. i miss my parents so much. believe me, it's hard to live without the guidance of your parents.

25. i'm just a speck in this vast universe but i certainly want to make a big difference :)
