I missed this blog of mine!!! Christmas and New Year came, and January was still a bit of a vacation for me. But February is welcoming me back to the web logging world!
So let's roll! I did this list on Facebook and I would say it was fun writing down the random things about myself. Here goes.
1. Swimming is my sport. I bested my colleagues in the swim and sink event and brought home a medal when I joined the Coke sportsfest back in 1998.
2. I auditioned to be a news anchor when SkyCable was launched and they conducted a newscaster search during my junior year in DLSU.
3. My first job was a desktop publishing and graphic design officer for an advertising company in 1996. Aldus Pagemaker was the design sensation back then! Hee!
4. I clean my bag and its contents every single day! How obsessive compulsive is that? Spring cleaning, organizing anything, bring it on!
5. I can compose a poem when greatly inspired. No possibility of it on a gloomy, rainy day.
6. Ergo, I love sunshine! I'm in my element under the ray of light. =)
7. It is still my dream to be able to write for and design a fashion and lifestyle magazine and become an Anna Wintour of sorts (less fierce though).
8. I wish I was born and raised in England. I love watching and hearing these famous Brits talk: Kate Winslet, Hugh Laurie, Rob Pattinson, Hugh Grant, Jamie Oliver, Emily Blunt, Jeremy Irons, and many others.
9. It was only recently that I realized I do love classical music, thanks to Paul Potts' rendition of Nessun Dorma.
10. My favorite hollywood celebrity is Ellen Lee Degeneres. Because who doesn't adore her?? A great host, comedian and dancer. She doesn't even look like 51 golden years to me!
11. I wrote an article on the psychology of males and females which got published in the valentine issue of the Bulletin in 2002. The movie "Someone Like You" inspired me to come up with the article.
12. I love memorizing and reciting monologues in romantic comedies such as Carrie Bradshaw's opening lines in Sex and The City The Movie, Iris Simpkin's opening narration in The Holiday, and Jonathan Trager as he was reading his own obituary in Serendipity.
13. 整理, 整頓, 清掃, 清潔, 躾. The 5S. I love it, I live it. =)
14. I have not missed a single episode of Grey's Anatomy, seriously! Thanks to Limewire. =)
15. I can listen to film scores all day. There is such resonating energy from this genre. Currently listening to: Theme from Mirror Has Two Faces and While You Were Sleeping.
16. I am a sucker for TMZ! Or Hollywood TV. Need I say more? Hahaha.
17. My sisters Dominoe and Diana are my true best friends and movie dates!
18. It was Marti who introduced me to Everything But The Girl. And I guess not just EBTG, I ask her what's new on her "Billboard" list from time to time. Hehe. Thanks Marti for DJ Harry's All My Life, I like it a lot now! Keep them coming! =)
19. I finished reading the entire Twilight Saga in a month. New Moon is my favorite of the four books.
20. I think it's about time Leonardo DiCaprio gets an Oscar. Back from Blood Diamond I think he really should have been honored big time.
21. Jim Carrey is my ultimate comedy warrior. Think Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and now Yes Man. Go watch him when you can. =)
22. I also got addicted to reading Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. And now it's a major motion picture...can't wait to see it!
23. I am a frustrated chanteuse. I joined singing competitions back when I was with Coke and San Miguel and became a grand finalist for two consecutive years. On my audition night as a performer at the Hyatt Regency, I sang about twenty-four songs but never came back for my actual singing stint, I decided I may not be able to juggle day work with singing during nights.
24. I truly love this verse: "1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
25. Facebook is one of the greatest inventions for me. In the true hierarchy of things, it should be God, family, relationships (social networking that is!) hehehe.
