Things I Know You Know About Me!

I have been doing nothing this weekend and decided to just browse the internet on my bed. I was getting bored by the minute until I chanced upon "Peetol's 25" on my facebook account. I remember I had fun writing this and I just want to share it again here. For those who have not read it yet, here it is. For those who have, well, just go over it again and you will surely enjoy it for the second time.

Here goes....

1) I usually score very high on IQ tests...so, there is hope for mankind!

2) When I was still young, my ambition was to become an engineer who build bridges...so don't be baffled when I do crazy things with the mahjong tiles.

3) I can sit or stand still for half a day without getting bored...which makes me a very good security guard if ever I need to change profession.

4) I (with a capital I) consider myself musically gifted. (Onie, please stop smirking!)

5) I learned to play the piano by myself when I was 5 years old. I was considered too young to be taught by a piano teacher, so I studied the basics and observed my mother's piano technique.

6) At age 7, I used to play "Ballade Pour Adeline" on the piano during parties at home to impress girls my age, but ended up being smooched by my mom's friends, so I decided to end my career early.

7) I started formal piano lessons at age 10, but my teacher always left me to learn by myself, because she somehow knew I was not learning from her (not that she is a bad teacher...it is just that I am the worst student!)

8) When I was in grade six, I developed a crush on a girl 4 years older than me. I would participate in essay writing contests just so I can sit beside her and join her on stage during awarding ceremonies. *GRIN*

9) My parents bought Peps a band set (drums, 2 electric guitars, and a bass electric guitar) as a Christmas gift when I was in first year high school. I ended up owning the set and learned to play the guitars and drums.

10) I eventually formed a band in high school and we played Fra Lippo Lippi and other 80's cheesy songs. We had at least 1 major concert per year...yup, I was rich back then!

11) I used to excel in academics until grade 3, when I lost interest in achieving anything in school because of a neighbor who deliberately did not give me a gift for just placing third, and rewarded my older brothers who came in 2nd and 1st respectively in their classes.

12) I was so lazy at school that I only used up 4 notebooks for subjects in 4 years of high school... but I had dozens of other notebooks filled up with drawings and scribbles.

12) I suffered my first "cinco" in life when I was in college. It was in Algebra (first year), which I thought I did not deserve, so I retook it that summer and redeemed myself by getting an "uno".

13) After tasting my first "cinco", I suddenly got the hang of it and collected quite a few thereafter!

14) I did not graduate on time in college. It took me 9 years to get a college degree...and I am not a doctor!

15) I am a frustrated basketball player. In elementary, I was taller than basketball player Kenneth Duremdes by three inches (we are of the same age, although I am a batch higher than him). I took up the game during my second year in high school and, together with Kenneth, was a reserve on the varsity team. On my third year, Kenneth suddenly grew to 6 ft, and I remained at 5'7". Not surprisingly, he was elevated to the varsity team, and I quit playing on top of my game!

16) I used to play soccer in my younger days, but has to stop when I grew rounder than the ball.

17) If I did not took up business in college, I would have been an infamous rock star by now.

18) I seriously considered auditioning for "Ang TV" way back when I was still within the show's age limit.

19) I used to sleep on the same bed with a girl named Cheska from high school and all through college. (Most intriguing indeed!)

20) I would ride my BMX bike every afternoon from when I was 5 years old until I reached 15 years old.

21) When I was a child, I would climb up trees but did not know how to get down.

22) I walk funny, a trait I seem to have inherited...just observe my brothers' walk!

23) I learned Mu Do Kwan (Martial Arts) when I was young, but never got to use it...one of my useless talents!

24) I recently added a removable body part, and now I have two! (guess what! harhar..harkkk...*gurgle*...!)

25) I married Onie at a young age, and this has been my only shining achievement in life!
