Matters of Fact

I am back.

In my short existence here in the blogosphere, I have received and declined many tags... Recently, I was tagged as a "kreativ" blogger. I ruminated whether I needed to respond to this misspelt tag or not. :)

Out of having no new adventures to post, I decided to list down several facts about me, some of which you may have read somewhere in my old posts... Just to set the record straight, this is not in accordance with the rules of the recent tag (so no ill-feelings for those who have tagged me before).

Here goes...

>>> I sang Gary V.'s "How Did You Know?" three times in public. In all those times, a bride was walking down the isle.... Yes, I used to croon at weddings. The first time I sang this song was during the wedding of my household head in Singles for Christ.

>>> I have been to every province of Western Visayas when I was in high school. I joined many regional academic contests and a field trip. The first of them was the Philippine Math Olympiad. I developed lasting friendships through this contest. The last was a field trip. I woke up late. I caught up with my classmates after 4 hours in another island (that's without the aid of cellphones, just pure guts).

>>> I have joined in only one photo contest. I was my school's representative in the Regional Secondary Press Schools (RSSPC) Photojournalism contest. I lost. The film I submitted to the contest was entirely exposed.

>>> I wanted to be a doctor. However, my father told me that if I decide to take the course, he might only be wearing his underwear. I took up Engineering instead. No regrets, I was on full academic scholarship when I was in college.

>>> My weakest subject in college was Physics. Due to the lacking one percent in my grade for this subject I was immediately disqualified from the "laude" spot, and so I stopped dreaming. Ironically, I ended up doing tutorials (and making money) on this subject for many years.

>>> I don't drink and I don't smoke. I am allergic to alchol and I have sinusitis.

>>> I am a stickler for general information. When there are discussions and I am really sure of my facts, my expression would always be "I'll bet my one-month salary!".

>>> My favorite writer is Khalil Gibran. The imagery of his words are just brilliant. However, some of his essays suggest that he is a panentheist.

>>> My most favorite Bible verse is Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God." I read it during the time when I was having my on-the-job training in Laguna Technopark. My allowance got delayed for a week. God sent many angels that week...

And that's it... I'll be posting a new adventure soon....
