50-something Things to Delve With

This isn’t a tag. I just want to write something about me. And because I’m utterly bored, I’ll just do this thing anyway. Well, here are some facts and I think it would reach more than a hundred, NOT. Lol. Here goes nothing.


---


One: I was born and meant to be a loquacious creature. Apparently when I was two, I am fond of asking questions about trees, animals, humans and other miscellaneous tangible things. And my uncle who used to watch me will get irritated by my questions. Funny thing was, already knew the answer yet I keep on asking the same question over and over again.

Two: I used to speak with my own language. When I was two, I was fond of associating things with my own language. Bagu is for slippers. Gatchenpari is for the house. Chicchic if for the muslim ladies who wear the head thingamajig (Sheara, ano nga tawag sa headgear thing? Lol) and Lululunis asimpiyu for Looney Tunes.

Three: I am a frustrated Entomologist when I was little. In our old house I used to catch ladybugs. And we all know that these little critters will excrete a malodorous yellowish substance whenever they are threatened. I observe them and even tried to breed them even if how stupid my methods are. I’m also with grasshoppers, thanks to my lolo who is an expert of catching the green arthropod. HAHAHA.

Four: I am very talkative. Due to my insane behavior, my Chinese teacher in my Kindergarten days punished me. I have to stay outside the room and endure the scorching heat of the sun. Yeah, after that, I got sick. BANTAY BATA 163. Ooops. I think my old Chinese teacher is already dead, errr, almost five years ago? I think.

Five: When I was almost two, we moved to Zamboanga City and lived for almost two years. Zamboanga is small, dangerous and boring. Lol.

Six: My favorite song in the karaoke when I was two: Green, Green Grass of Home.

Seven: I remember that my former nanny will cry whenever she hears the song Can’t Cry Hard Enough. HAHAHA. Hi Ate Tiff!

Eight: I can still remember things when I was a toddler – my first plane ride, when I almost went through inside an xray machine in the old Davao International Airport, when the plane failed to have a takeoff since the Air Traffic Controllers conducted a strike and all those memories in Zamboanga.

Nine: On my second birthday, we celebrated it at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University’s auditorium. My dad works as one of the sponsors of a certain show. The show presented some famous cartoon characters like Tom and Jerry and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Due to my excitement, I went to the stage and literally ruined the show. HAHAHA. Sorry about that. But yeah the mascots joined my “Johnny Bravo” moves and everyone laughed at my folly. I was even featured on TV Patrol Chavacano.

Ten: Maybe this is effective if I write this in Tagalog: Makapal talaga ang mukha ko.
Eleven: I am a former lefty, converted by mom but she can’t help with my spoon-and-fork drama. I write using my right hand, but I can still manage to write legibly at my left. Is semi-ambidextrous a right term for it? I don’t know.

Twelve: I learned how to play the piano when I was seven, took some piano lessons at Yamaha for one year and after that I just learn how to play the rest of the game by myself.

Thirteen: I prefer on playing the piano by EAR and not by NOTES. I suck when I play notes. I find it impractical. HAHAHA.

Fifteen: I don’t know how to sing but dances a little bit. LOOL.

Sixteen: I don’t know how to play the guitar. HAHAHA. Err, I find the piano easier than the guitar.
