30 Things You Thought You Knew About Me

I've been very much pre-occupied about turning 30. Maybe it's because that first digit 2* is finally graduating to becoming 3-0. The years passed by so swift and here I am at the crossroads of leaving the YOUNG ONES and entering the world of the YOUNG ONCE...


Looking back to the past 29 years, I acknowledge the mistakes and failures I went through. I have seen how my parents worked hard for me and my siblings. I saw the frustrations is their eyes every moment I stumble. I have felt their heartaches when they saw me struggling. Those inspired me to do the best I can to make good of my life when I was given second chance and here I am - victorious, blessed, and fighting a good fight.

I wanted to write about so many things prior to this note but I decided at the last minute that I'll just write about the title of this post. (Though I tried to "sandwich" my thoughts and incorporate some in the introduction, hehehe...)

Hmmmm... There are things about me you thought you knew...

1. Most people think that I am too serious, that I forgot how to laugh or worse, I don;t know how to
laugh... Well, they are very wrong... I have this persona that's so bubbly and mababaw na kaligayahan... Try me... Takot lang kasi sila to throw a joke at me...

2. I can't brush my teeth without a mirror. I don't know why. I feel so discontented in the absence of a mirror. It feels like I didn't brush at all...

3. I have never tried the roller coaster. Not at all...
4. I tend to be shift to silent mode when I am angry and spit it all out when my bucket is full.
5. I have a double-edged tongue. I swear, I curse, I mutilate emotions with my word.
6. I use to think about how would people think about me when I go out of my way but now, to hell with what others think as long as I am not stepping on someone else's feet.
7. You can criticize me as long as it has something to do about my work especially so if you are my workmate but when it comes to matters that doesn't concern work, step out out of my way coz you wouldn't want what's gonna happen.
8. I don't ask questions. I prefer if you volunteer information.
9. I like kawbin's kilawen tanguigui... Suuuuupppppppeeeeer like.
10. I may not be expressive on how much I love my siblings but if you dare touch the tip of their nose, you have to go through me first.
11. I have three OTHER men in my life - 1st, HUGH JACKMAN; 2nd, HUGH JACKMAN; 3rd, HUGH JACKMAN...
12. I don't like heavy rains and thunders.
13. I totally am into high-heeled boots.
14. I shave. Hmmmmmmm... don't ask where... bwahahaha...

18. I love reading Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton and John Grisham. But now I don't have the luxury of time to read.

20. I wish I could write a book. Subject matter??? My kids...
21. I use to love teaching that it hurts me when my studes take learning for granted. But now, who cares??? They don't even care...
22. I lied about number 21. I still care... I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I just need an inspiration and a challenge.
23. Tragedy has a special place in my heart. Tragic love stories, sad love songs, and the likes captures my attention. It has its own way of lingering through for quite a while. I hate sad and tragic endings, in short.
