25 Randomness

Since I’m really bored and don’t feel like studying Eco, I’m going to copy Daryll. Hahaha.

1. I HATE HATE HATE it when people say “surely”. It’s not even a proper word for Strunken-White-proper-grammar’s sake!

2. I don’t watch the ETC channel because I hate the ETC voice. HAHA. No, seriously. “Surely” was surely invented there.

3. I haven’t worn rubbershoes since the first sem of sophomore year, after Arnis PE.

4. I haven’t been to a movie house since Eragon showed two years ago.

5. I haven’t watched Dark Knight, Iron Man, Transformers…name it, I haven’t seen it.

6. I can bake really good chocolate chip cookies. REALLY!

7. I’ve liked watching Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz movies ever since I saw One More Chance. For the record, I love One More Chance.

8. If I like a song, I can listen to it over and over again for a whole day without getting tired of it. Like right now, it’s Falling Slowly from Once. I love it.

9. I like making papak muscovado sugar. (Papak looks so weird when it’s written. PAPAK.)

10. I love making papak Antonio Pueho Cocoa Balls or whatever you call those things you’re supposed to make into hot cocoa.

11. I can eat any kind of Sinigang, Kare-Kare, Bulalo, Nilaga, Tinola without a single grain of rice–but I need veggies.

12. I love lechon but more than one serving gives me a really bad headache and heartburn.

13. There were a few years when I was a kid that I didn’t eat Lechon balat because I heard my lola’s beautician say that eating it gave you rough pig skin.

14. I was FASCINATED by the coconut husks people use to polish their floors. I used to want to be a labandera/coconut-husk-floor-wiper when I was a kid. Scrubbing clothes in a balde (?) just intrigued me.

15. I wanted to be a nun from preschool to second or third grade.

16. I used to memorize the lives of LOTS of saints. I loved to read those kiddy saint books AND some of their biographies. St Therese of Liseaux was my favorite–I read her autobiography when I was 9 and also wanted to enter the convent at 15

17. I like watching all the CSI’s but look away/change the channel/close my eyes when they (a) discover the body; (b) show the body in the morgue; (c) replay the murder scene.

18. If it weren’t for the fact that I’d get hugely fat, I’d be a chef and not care about my weight. But I do. And it’s sad.

19.I watch Spongebob Squarepants and read Perez-Hilton to de-stress. It’s what I look forward to every other day or so.

20. Ally McBeal made me want to become a lawyer once. The Practice and Law and Order turned me off.

21. I cried BUCKETS at this Judy Anne Santos-Piolo Pascual movie I watched while randomly channel-surfing about her fiancee who was Piolo’s best friend who was in a coma.

22. For a while, everytime I saw Sam Milby, I thought he was Piolo Pascual. I couldn’t tell them apart.

23. I can watch Grey’s Anatomy Season 3 over and over again but only up to the episode where Meredith drowns and gets saved by McDreamy. Oh and I think Mark and Addison should really end up. I have never liked Lexie.

24. I don’t agree with oganizations that put animal rights before people’s.

25. I was never aware of backfat until someone pointed it out.
