8 Random Things About Me (I've Been Tagged)

Hot chick Bingkee, whose blog, 'I Love/Hate America,' is among the few in the blogosphere that actually has substance, just tagged me. In response, I'm obliged to list down '8 Things About Me' you've never known before. Though this may seem self-serving, considering I've already posted '100 Things About Me' in the past, it's always fun to spill some beans every now and then.

I suppose I haven't told anyone that:

1.) I'm married to an extremely talented graphic designer. We eloped to the shores of Boracay in 2004 and it was the best thing I've ever done.

2.) In college, my favorite subject was Philosophy. I'd get the highest grades sans studying.

3.) When I was a kid, I sprained either arm as often as it rained here in Manila. Each time, my folks would bring me to a 'faith healer' instead of a real doctor, and it always worked. I loved the smell of the oil they used on their patients -- reminded me of sweet crackers.

4.) My parents never let me take public transportation until I turned 21. Stiff? Yeah, I thought so, too, until I became a mom in 2005.

5.) I'm a daydreamer and a bona fide optimist.

6.) Chill out routine: Coffee on weeknights and booze on weekends!

7.) At age 5, I was totally into telekinesis and strongly believed I could eventually make things move with my mind. I would stare at a glass or a pen on the table for minutes on most days, praying it would miraculously move. These days I look back and realize I have a penchant for believing in things I don't see. I think that may have been part my formula for reaching goals.

8.) Sometimes I wish I had naturally straight hair. Curls could be a real hassle. :-)

Now, I tag 8 people...

Simple rules:

1.) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

2.) People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

3.) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

4.) Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
1.) Pia
2.) Jhunelle

3.) Isabelle

4.) Claire

5.) Enchie

6.) Sarah

7.) Wendy

8.) Ria
