I’ve been injudiciously tagged by the very weird Jonas Diego.
- I’ve composed and recorded 13 of my own piano compositions. One of which I played during my Yamaha piano class recital in the old Virramall, (instead of the simple compositions they have graduates do.) But I hate having to read musical notes.
- I was trained to speed read.
- In my garden at home, I missed kicking a soccer ball and so flipped and landed on the back of my head. I laid on the ground for a long time, dazed & short of breath. Fortunately no one in the world saw this wonderfully comical incident. Talk about Charlie Brown.
- When I was real young I was reprimanded for peeking under a girl’s skirt (while in a spiritual retreat no less.) Honestly, I didn’t know what I exactly was apologizing for at that time.
- I sleep with 5 pillows. I used to sleep with 7. My smallest pillow is approximately 3.5×4.5 inches. I hope it will grow pudgier one day. I guess you can say I see a bit of myself in it.
- I was part of the University of the Philippines Rayadillo, the university honor guard. It is completely out of my character & my physique to join such troop, but I really didn’t know what I was getting into when I was offered to be a part of it. After it all, I’m proud that I did.
- Back in high school I would enjoy debating with my Roman Catholic friends that the virgin Mary wasn’t a virgin all her life and that the Pope wasn’t without sin.
- When I was young I almost drowned trying to swim across the width (yes the width) of a swimming pool. (During a church outing, no less.) It was unique experience. Anyway I was saved, figuratively speaking.
- I won 3rd place, 20,000php, and a plaque writing an essay about the MRT before it was fully functional. I was in studying architecture then and my professor was quite surprised that an arki student would win such a thing (and award 20,000php as well to the college.) I would’ve won at least second place if not for the Palanca award-winning writer who got top prize. The only competitive contest I’ve ever won anything in.
- I’ve pulled out my baby teeth all by myself. Sadly, I lost one to the sink.
Now I would like to tag Elbert Or.
