Reposted from my fezbook account. Yes, I succumbed to the peer pressure. I'm a sheep!
1) I try to be a responsible pedestrian and avoid crossing the street when the cars are green-lighting. I know that some drivers look at me funny because there are hardly any cars but I don't make a break for it. I once hit the side of a jeepney with a dentistry textbook because it was blocking my way at the pedestrian lane. I hate it when they do that.
2) I was once a contestant in an interschool spelling bee. I lost with the word caterpillar. I still have trouble with that word's spelling to this day.
3) I love flying kites. Jenova gave me my first kite and now I have at least 5. I'm no expert though, so I'm most successful when there's an obvious breeze.
4) I was a huge fan of Take That...I was even a member of the fan club (along with Jenova). I wanted to marry Gary Barlow.
5) I cannot play volleyball to save my life. In high school, I got hit by a volleyball in the face. My glasses got skewed and left a cut below my eye.
6) As a kid I didn't like brushing my teeth. I was afraid of the dentist. It's strange that I became one. Now, whenever it's my turn to have my teeth cleaned, I still get a nervous feeling.
7) My brother Marlon was a patient in UPCD's pediatric dentistry department. His clinicians were Dr. Salinda and Dr. Sotelo, who became my profs in college. They told me they picked my brother over me to be their patient because I was so "iyakin". The fact that I was being considered to be a patient at UPCD says a lot about my bad teeth back then. (So meron siguro akong pang-pulpectomy, pulpotomy, extraction, filling and space maintainer, harhar).
8) My favorite city is New York. I love watching movies set in New York.
9) I was once given a free hotdog and drink in Gray's Papaya in NY. The server there (who was from Pangasinan) was so happy to see a tourist from the Philippines that he called his boss over and introduced me. Kababayan!
10) I used to get nightmares from watching Magandang Gabi Bayan's Halloween episodes. It was ridiculous, because in my dreams, I would see the badly costumed "dwendes" from the reenactments.
11) I started wearing glasses when I was around 6 or 7 years old. My glasses used to have those string things so it wouldn't fall to the ground when it got knocked off. I got contacts in high school. I finally had my eyes lasik-ed sometime in 2004.
12) As a kid, I used to have trouble swallowing pills and tablets. My mom would dissolve aspirin in warm water or halve the tablets because my gag reflex would act up. One day, I tried swallowing random pills and tablets from the medicine cabinet and discovered I could finally do it. When I ran to my mom to tell her the good news, I got a good spanking in the butt.
13) I totally sucked at playing chinese garter so I was always picked last (you know who you are, bitches! hahahaha!). I tried practicing at home by tying the garter to a window and a fence. In one of my attempts, I fell. On my knees. On the pebbled ground. I ended up with bloodied knees and never played again.
14) I love watching Looney Tunes. My two favorite episodes are: "What's Opera, Doc?" with Elmer Fudd as a viking and Bugs as "Bwunhilda", and the halloween eppy with the Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde Tweety. I have an action figure of that morphed Tweety.
15) My mom said I was never breastfed. Maybe that's why I didn't get the nutrients for good dancing.
16)I am the youngest kid in the family and the only girl. I used to wear my brothers' hand me downs. I remember having a Thunderbirds t-shirt. My brothers included me in their baril-barilan, but I was usually the first casualty and always had to play dead.
17) My cellphone ringtone last week was the original theme to Mazinger-Z. I had to change it because nakakagulat pala.
18) I didn't have a debut when I turned 18. I can't stand attending debuts now.Thank you to those who invited me to theirs, though.
19) I can be a bit bulol trying to speak straight English. My waterloo is accidentally saying "Bif" instead of beef. When I'm tipsy though, I've been known to be more articulate.
20) I can speak enough Mandarin or Fukien to order in a China Mc Donalds or get on a bus. I can say in Chinese that I am happy or angry. But I can't express more complex feelings like bitterness, sarcasm. I cannot read Chinese books or newspapers.
21) I was onced forced to play in an amateur table tennis tournament without knowing how to play. It was so humiliating that I cried. I get annoyed when people assume that I play good table tennis just because I am Chinese.
22) I had a, ehem, tummy malfunction during the day of the UPCAT that I finished the exam ahead of everyone else. Outta my way!
23) I hated physics and chemistry. Woe was me to have had Gen Chem, Organic Chem, and Biochem as required subjects for dentistry. I always had a grade of 4 in these subjects (except for Biochem) and I always had to take removal exams. Diane Wong and I used to run into each other all the time at the Department of Math and Sciences (DPSM ba yun?) trying to fill out removal forms.
24) I have a scar on my right eyebrow from when I was a kid and my dad accidentally hit me with his nunchucks.
25) I used to think my shoulders were my best feature.But now I have flabby arms, so there they go. Oh well!

26) I can't bend down and reach my toes! (being P.E. partners with the very bendy Ninna E. was pure torture.)
