Um ok. Flickr's having a massage. Uh-oh. Can't upload photographs. Ergo, can't make my Japan post.
Write 20 Random Facts About Yourself, Then Tag The Same Number Of People As Minutes It Takes You To Write The Facts. If You're Tagged, It's Your Turn.
1. When I was a child, I've always wanted to have long hair. However, my mother imposed a rule on my hair length that until I was 12 years of age, I could never grow my hair long. She did this so I would look my age and not older as long hair makes a girl look older than she really is for some reason or another.
2. My mom still had control over my haircut/style until I was 13. I used to take it against her, because I so wanted to have my hair long for the longest time and I was already 13 and she still had her way with my hair! But today, I realise that she did the right thing controlling the length of my hair--since my hair was extra fine and thin when I was a child, naturally constant trims and short-lengths did it good--now I have complete control over my hair length--the only problem now is that my father doesn't like me to cut my hair short everl--and it is a lot thicker and healthier at present! Thanks to my mother's hair rule. :)
3. This is an oxymoron: Although I rarely get into accidents, I am accident prone. (i.e. quality over quantity) And the accidents usually happen on my birthday. The biggest one was probably the pencil accident: I fell on top of an upright pencil and the lead lodged inside my chin. It was lodged in enough that the pencil dangled from my chin! Of course it was a horrendous moment and I felt faint and eventually fainted, hit my head on the floor, had a mild concusion and convulsed for a brief moment in time. I had to be examined: MRI, EEG and other neurology works--thankfully, results were ok. Oh and I still have the lead mark and scar on my chin. It happened on my 17th birthday.
4. I used to have a mild case of reverse bulimia.
5. Not everyone I knew in college, knew that I could play the piano. I am a classically trained pianist. I've studied piano since I was four, but I had to stop at eighteen due to the distance of my university to my piano school, as well as my school load.
6. Not everyone I knew in college, knew that I could sing as well too. I am a classically trained singer. I've undergone formal vocal training since I was eight until I was sixteen, and have been under the tutelage of Ryan Cayabyab and Jai Sabas-Aracama.
7. I'm currently in my discernment year: trying to figure out if I want to pursue dentistry or teaching or something else. But all in all, I want to help and serve others and my country in any of chosen field/vocation.
8. I think that high school was great, but college was better.
9. I'm fiercely loyal to my family and friends--the people I love. If you hurt me, I could and would let it pass, but if your hurt the people I love: beware of me.
10. I cuss only when I'm angry-ticked-and-provoked. And I can be very vulgar. I do try to avoid unnecessary foul language at all costs though.
11. I'm a very frank and honest person, but I'm polite and discrete. I choose my words and my battles.
12. I don't consider most of my extended family as "friends" but mere acquaintances and blood-relations I was born into.
13. I consider my good friends as part of my true and immediate "family," all of whom I truly love, care about and respect.
14. Japan is my favorite country... but you already knew that.
15. I feel naked without my watch.
16. I'm finding this exercise of writing random things about myself difficult.
17. I'm not materially inclined. I try to live simply and practically. If I want something, I have to work hard for it. I may be an only child, but I don't always get what I want from my parents; I do however get what I need. This discpline has taught me responsibility, hardwork and level-headedness in life. I live within my means, and I live realistically.
18. I've paid for my phone bill both, in prepaid(1999-2002) and in postpaid(2002-present) ever since 1999.
19. I had an imaginary brother whom I named JC when I was 3 years old.
20. I'm a sleepyhead. I will sleep whenever I can.
