1. I have a Christmas birthday…quite hated it when I was a kid!
2. I love cakes and my faves are Red Ribbon’s Mango cake, Figaro’s Sansrival (miss them sooo much)..and Cheesecake Factory’s Dulce De Leche Caramel Cheesecake!
3. I would love to see Pierce Brosnan, David Beckham and Michael Vartan in person.
4. I’m a Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) - never practiced it though!
5. I spent the first 16 years of my life in Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines and almost all Saturday mornings of my early childhood were spent at Suqui beach, but I didn’t learn how to swim! Gosh!
6. I may be the only Batangueña who’s not a coffee drinker…but I do drink Mocha Frap when my taste buds crave for it.
7. I only have one sibling…and he’s 2 ½ yrs older than me.
8. I had my first serious relationship at 13. We broke up 5 years after. My love story with Ryan began almost 2 years after that. Oct. 28, 1993 when Ryan became my bf…and it was exactly 7 yrs after when we got married – Oct. 28, 2000 was our wedding day. Ryan & I were schoolmates in elementary...became good friends in high school...and crossed paths again at UST Faculty of Engineering. I think that's what you call destiny! ;-)
9. I just love cooking! Name it and I’ll cook my own version of it! ;-)
10. I’m really not into singing & dancing since I was a kid…ask me to recite a poem, do monologue, declamation, oration or interpretative reading, but don’t ask me to sing or dance...coz it would be terrible! I sing in the bathroom though…LOL. And I sing nursery rhymes and lullabies to my girls too! ;-)
11. I went to Catholic schools from elementary to college. Holy Infant Academy in elementary & high school…and University of Santo Tomas in college.
12. My father is a native of San Jose, Batangas and my mother was from Malolos, Bulacan. It was in Malolos where my brother & I were born, but we grew up in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. My father was assigned to work there and I was 1 year old when we relocated.
13. I just can’t let close friends’ or relatives’ birthdays pass by without greeting them no matter how far they are. I put all birthdays in my phone’s calendar & set an alarm for each so I won’t forget.
14. I was bitten by dogs 4x when I was a kid! It’s good that I didn’t get rabies…but I think I enjoy eating bony meat because of that! haha
15. I learned how to knit out of boredom during my first year here in Dallas…and within that year, I was able to knit 6 ponchos (1 for me, 2 for Clarise & 3 for Cherlin), 4 scarves for my girls, 1 blanket & 5 pairs of booties for Cherlin, and 2 purses for Clarise. Now, I’m trying to finish a scarf for Clarise...I started it around October last year, haven’t finished it til now. Whewwww…I think I can only do it when I'm bored! (",)
16. I just love Japanese food! How I wish I can go to Japan for a taste of authentic Japanese food!
17. I am a diabetic…but I still don’t deprive myself of sweets!!!
18. I was an instructor for a year at UST Electrical Engineering Department…and Differential Equations, DC/AC Circuit Analysis, Electric Machinery and Electrical Shop Practice are the subjects that I handled.
19. I’m really not into signature stuff…I just love to use & wear whatever makes me feel comfortable and beautiful…(^_^)
20. Perfume is one thing I can’t live without! Lacoste Pour Femme, Estee Lauder’s Pleasures and D&G Light Blue are among my faves.
21. Blue and black used to be my only favorite colors…but now that I have my two girls, I can’t help but like pink and purple too!
22. I don’t remember finishing a book after I graduated from college…except for bedtime storybooks that I read to my daughters…haha.
23. I love collecting angels and refrigerator magnets.
24. I’m a very forgiving person. I always believe that forgiveness is the noblest thing to do which in return will give you peace and happiness. But once a person betrays my trust, it will be too hard to win it back.
25. I seldom watch TV and go to movies after my mother passed away…coz everything just seems to make me cry. 24, House, M.D., Chuck and American Idol are the only shows I watch on TV. When they’re not on, I can stand not looking at the TV even when the whole family is watching.
