1. I have not eaten eggs since I was nine years old. It was only recently that I had a total of 13 sunny side ups (spread over a couple of months) because I got sick and needed all the protein I can get. I still cannot abide eggs and the sunny sides ups were a stretch.
2. Until the age of 25, I was a size 0, 98 lbs weakling. My Uncle used to tease me that if someone sneezed, I might disintegrate.
3. When I was a child, I could not function at all without my doll, Lisa by my side.
4. I started taking photos when I was ten with my Dad’s old 35mm point and shoot, but stopped at the age of twelve because I had to choose between buying film and having it developed, and buying books.
5. I used to have a Turkish Angora cat named Figaro who died last 2006.
6. I hate the mall. I always do my shopping online. Before that, my Mom and sister bought my clothes for me.
7. In my 20s, I frequently wore to work the clothes that my Mom sewed and wore in her 20s.
8. I own at least 15 eco bags, which Nards and I actively use.
9. I have not watched TV in two years. Our TV set is solely used for gaming and the occasional DVD marathon.
10. According to Nards, I have an addiction to computer games, particularly cooking games. (To which I vehemently disagree. I’m impartial to all video games. I like them all.)
11. My video game addiction started at the advent of Game & Watch. I didn’t care too much for Barbie.
12. I always carry a book with me wherever I go. Been doing it since I was seven years old .
13. I love Math. I enjoyed all my Math classes.
14. I have a very sharp memory. I can remember minute details from childhood.
15. I knit, crochet and scrapbook.
16. My first credit card purchase was a thick volume of piano and flute sheet music at the Book Wagon.
17. I’m a stickler for measurements. If the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of curry powder, I get my measuring spoons and scoop out that precise amount.
18. I wish I could own a 1966 red Karmann Ghia and a 1963 blue Mustang convertible.
19. I also wish I could own an 85mm 1.2 lens, which costs Php127,000.
20. I like staying at home, reading or playing video games.
21. I love watching old films, particularly black and white ones with Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman.
22. My first crushes were Gregory Peck and John Lennon.
23. I have a very foul temper. I don’t want to say anything when I’m emotional because I if I do, I always regret it afterwards. So I just walk away when I get angry.
24. I always pray Hail Mary whenever I’m in an elevator.
25. I’m not in the habit of looking at myself in the mirror. Not even on my wedding day.
