25 Random Things About Me

One of my dearest friends in PBSP, Maita, tagged me in her Facebook entry on the 25-Random-Facts-About-Me chain. I know this is not the perfect time for this stuff because I am supposed to squeeze my surviving brain cells for very urgent work matters.

But what the heck. It's a Friday. Let me exercise my mind for some relaxing yet nevertheless brain-ful pursuits - like reflecting on the 25 random things about myself.

1. I am the brainchild of Tori Amos.

2. I love ice cream. Double dutch. Cookies and cream. Hazelnut. Very rocky road.

3. I love cakes. Blueberry cheesecake. Black forest. Rhum cake.

4. I am queer.

5. I love watching The Lord of the Rings. All three movies. Over and over and over again.

6. My specialty is Century Tuna chunks Spanish Style cooked with scrambled eggs.

7. I love decorating our low-budget home - country style.

8. I love exploring the baskets-handicrafts section of Carbon public market.

9. I love killing hours and hours in bargain books blackholes. Well yes, I looove Fully Booked, but it kills my budget.

10. I am romantic. But I am also a heartbreaker. I've committed emotional and psychological murder. I am a sinner.

11. I keep on postponing my appointment with the gym trainer. I know I need to lose weight. I wanna look beautiful inside and out. But it has been two years since I made an appointment with the gym guy.

12. I love to sing ABBA songs and Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" on karaoke.

13. I used to have this great crush on our high school songbird. I am not exactly sure what happened to me at that stage in my life - it seems surreal thinking about it now. But back then, it was tender.

14. I miss the wonderful people that I grew up with.

15. I was once a stalker.

16. I used to be the regular first customer of this nice, clean, well lighted beer place that is unfortunately no longer in existence. Those were the lonely days. And drunk yet witty conversations over smoke and cold Colt 45's were the best things that life could offer.

17. I would like Cate Blanchett to play me in a movie. She did Bob Dylan, Elizabeth and Galadriel. She could effortlessly do me.

18. I wanna be a frontman in a grunge or alternative rock band.

19. I love dissecting my life, and whining about life, over brewed coffee or frappucino.

20. I wanna travel the world.

21. I don't like promotions. Work responsibilities are scary. But the pay settles the bills and the luxuries. I am in the brink of selling my golden soul to the devil.

22. I have once inspired a beautiful soul to write a beautiful poem about me. Its on page 111 - the title of the book is Brim.

23. I am currently putting together a coffee table book. It is a great task. To this day I am not really sure if I can do it, but I AM doing it. I know it will be beautiful.

24. I carry a wooden brown rosary and Benedictine Crucifix wherever I go. These are my lucky charms.

25. I love porn. Queer porn.
