I’ve been injudiciously tagged by the very weird Jonas Diego.

  1. 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.
  2. I was trained to speed read.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

    How come the word “weird” has a less than appealing connotation, yet most people are actually proud of being weird and they even flaunt the fact (i.e. me). Hmm…

    By the way, your graphic works are cool!

    Thanks for linking sugoistuff.net!

    Sure thing Flori.

    I enjoyed being weird in high school!

    But aside from “weird” the normal person would rarely have another english word for “otaku”. Which is unfortunate for normal weirdos… like me.
