random random blah blah blah

I have done the tag three times already...
random 1.
random 2.
random 3.
...in variations.

Let's see how far I can stretch myself to sound interesting.

1. I can sing One Step Closer in Rockband and get 100% on the Easy Level, 97% on the Medium. I'm too much of a wimp to try Hard and Expert.

2. I have never tried smoking. Not once. Not hold a lit cigarette to my mouth, not even light one. Not even think about it. Wait, I did think about it when I was four.

3. My first doll was named Hobby. She was a rag doll with an old rose dress, mousy brown strings of hair and pink shoes. My big brother tore her up to get back at me.

4. My kuya and I almost killed each other. Seriously. But we're best friends.

5. I have only had two cell phone numbers since 1999.

6. My dream car was, is, and always will be a yellow green vintage convertible beetle.

7. I seriously believed the powers of back-masking.

8. When Magic the Gathering wasn't even popular in the Philippines, my brother and I played it. Actually, he let me hold the cards and play with himself because all my 'moves are stupid.'

9. I was in sixth grade when I decided English will be the medium of my speech.

10. My first Bible was my mom's concordance. It was falling apart but I liked it because it had pictures.

11. In my primary years (grades one through three), I was a Stanford tambay because my best friend Marie lived behind COD. The Marikina Shoe Expo was our playground.

12. I was born on a full moon.

13. Napapakilig ako at five years old ni Romnick Sarmienta at Sheryl Cruz sa Young Love Sweet Love. I met Romnick last Sunday. Same effect.

14. Oh yes, I am jologzzzz.

15. I have seen all the movies of Piolo Pascual. Even the ones I had no idea he was in. Yes, including the cameos.

16. CS Lewis is my very best friend.

17. I have been drinking coffee since I was nine. Actually, it started with mocha but that still counts as coffee.

18. I was almost not cum laude.

19. When I was younger, I can sing On My Own (Les Misrables) flawlessly. Nobody but the shower head heard it. When I performed it for classmates, it was all so random, it could be easily forgotten.

20. I'm running out of things to say.

21. I never want to break up with anyone so I'm taking my time in that aspect.

22. Just now I tried singing On My Own again.

23. I seriously believed that I will be sikat one day. Believed. Past tense. There are some things one has to outgrow.

24. I'm a star girl. Don't ask.

25. Xaris and Xai are different personas. Xaris is the evil twin.

That wasn't so bad.

Tagged Much Lately?

Hellobebe, ate joyjoyjoy assigned me the letter D. For some reason, I couldn't upload more then three songs on mi music so here are the five songs I'm instructed to list down.

For le instructions...

  1. Reply to this post. I'll assign you a letter.
  2. List (and upload if you wish) 5 songs that start with your assigned letter.
  3. Post your list with these instructions.
* Diary, Bread. My college room mate and best friend Jeanxie and I have a habit of singing unplugged versions of any song we knew from her songbook. I didn't know Diary until she sang it to me and she introduced it as a funny song. Dedicated sa mga 'assuming.' She thought it was a good song to relate to. Harhar.

*Dance, Dance, Fall Out Boy. I'm FOB's secret fan. I don't think a lot of people knew except my brothers who had access to my music folder at the family PC. I don't think I like them much now. Could have been a phase, too. I think that Cinderwench had a lot to do why I liked them, I just can't remember how.

*Demons, Guster. I adored this song in high school! Too bad nobody I knew (at that time) could relate except kuya who had Guster tracks playing all the time. I especially liked its opening guitar riffs and percusions. It's the only song I can sing where I honestly sound like a rockstar. What? Didn't everyone want to be a rock star at one point? Tchh.

*Daysleeper, REM. When I considered MTV to be the coolest thing on the telly, I was tuned in every moment I could. Somehow, this song stuck to my head and I could go, 'Daysleeper.... Daysleepeeerrr!' when somebody would quiz me on (a) REM song. And that's the only part of the song I know. Harhar. I can't even remember the video just that it had a lot of blue. Harharhar.

*Damned, Shimoli. Just recently, I dedicated this song to someone dear because the lyrics say everything I want to say. It's not hard to guess who it's for. No duh.

Ohkay. If you want some tagging love, you must leave a thought over at the comment box and be tagged much. Toodles. x)

The Heat is Ohnnnn!

It's a freakishly hawt summer evening that it feels like my brain is melting just when I have so much kwento. In the meantime, I'd do this tag thing to keep my braincells active [whoo hoo] and wait for more coffee invitations. Yahahaha.

Romina for the tag!
1.Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
2.Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
3.At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
*ditching rule number four*

Been there, done that.

But here goes...
1. I like High School Musical and if I were to play in Beat the Geeks, I'd definitely nail any HSM geek down.
2. Lip synching is one of my best hidden talents.
3. Batman is my dream guy. Piolo means I'm settling.
4. I would probably die of road rage. Hopefully, by the time I prove myself worthy of a Philippine driver's license, the rage will have died. Hopefully.
5. I have no intentions of living past 25 years of age. Help me.
6. I talk to myself an awful lot.
7. I write my crushes love notes but never send them. As of this writing, I have a whole shoe box of unsent love letters.
8. Waking up and getting up are two different processes for me. The interval between the two usually takes a half hour to an hour and a half.
9. I like keeping perfume bottles with liquid enough for two spritzes before I get another one. That way, I can smell the 'scent' of my favorite memories.
10. Every year, I have a diary entry that reads the same line. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens.

Tagging anyone bored enough to go for the tag. :D
