It’s been a while since I blogged. I usually don’t go online when I am
home and I just enjoyed a 3-day off from work. This weekend, some of
officemates/friends and I are going to Morong, Bataan for my
most-awaited out-of-town gimmick this summer. I may not be able to go
online for a few more days but I just can’t wait to see new places and
bathe in the ocean!

Before the short hiatus, let me just fill this up.

Share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

– Each blogger must post these rules first.
– Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
– Bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
– At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
– Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1.
I started collecting books when I was in high school. Most of these
were Sweet Valley, Sweet Dreams, Love Stories and Christopher Pike. I
filled up my 5-level book case in a span of 3 years when I started
working and buying books using my own money.

2. My sister
and I have a complete W.I.T.C.H. mag collection starting from issue
number 1. A friend used to offer me money to buy the entire collection
3 years ago but I refused.

3. I had a fascination of the
English royal family, not just because I fancy Prince William. Haha!
Princess Diana died when I was in first year college and I used to
collect magazines and read articles about the British monarchy. I wrote
a term paper about the royal family for my COMM II subject and got the
highest grade for that.

4. If I can choose a pet or an
animal companion, I would choose a dolphin (water) or a panda (land). I
want to go to China and visit the pandas (especially the babies!) one
of these days.

5. I kept a written diary since I was in
grade 4. I stopped when I was in high school and started blogging again
when I was in college. I still have my diaries from grades 4 to 1st
year college and when I read it, I laugh at my shallow grievances,
crushes and school woes. I can also see the changes in my handwriting
as I grew older or depending on the mood I was in when I wrote a
certain entry. It’s pretty interesting.

6. I am 100%
Ilongga. We speak the dialect at home but I haven’t gone back to
Bacolod City (my hometown) for more than 12 years now.

7. I
am a geek and a lot of people know that, but then I wouldn’t be a "Lord
of the Rings" fanatic without the convincing powers of my friend,
Laurice, who dragged me to watch the movie. I read "The Hobbit" 2 years
before the LOTR trilogy movie was shown and I didn’t finish it because
I got bored. Hahaha! After the movie, I read the LOTR trilogy books.
Then, I read "The Hobbit" again and finished it in about 2 days. Now, I
can’t wait for "The Hobbit" movie to be shown.

8. I had
my first kiss when I was 23 years old. I was wary about getting into
relationships because most of the men who broke my heart turned out to
be gay. I still am careful about that even until now. =)

I tag HMC, Day, JZ, Mae, Maroi, Laurice, Ian and Karenine!  =)
