The Rule:
Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.



Got tagged by my sweet niece (jazz) and there’s no way I’d fail her.. So let’s keep goin’



The Magic 6
Six weird things you ought to know ‘bout jC



1 Air guns, Water guns and Basketballs were my childhood toys.
Yes you got them all right. Just so you know, my dad had been a military officer all his life. When I was young, I remember that he’d be assigned with his troops to camp in the dreadful provinces like Mindanao, where the famous abusayyaf people are lurking, and all other provinces wherein terrorism is immensely rampant and get to stay there for some period of time. Mom and I were the only ones left in our house, and we’re not even assured if a dad would still come back (dead or alive). And when my dad pays us a visit, he would usually hand me toys primarily associated with his line of work. Could you just imagine a colonel bringing home a doll for his daughter from the battlefield?! If my dad had been able to do that, then it would have been way weirder!



2 A perfectionist
In everything that I do, I see to it that I get to exert the best that I could possibly give. I don’t make any room for regrets. I could not sleep unless I’d get things done. Everything is well planned, from the food I’d eat at breakfast to the time I’d pull myself to bed. Academics for me is really a serious thing. When I have exams, I only allow myself to commit 5 mistakes. That’s the most I could bear without having to walk around in shame. Haha ; ) I just happen to remember the instance where I had been the highest in our midterm exam in SOCIOLOGY but I still wasn’t proud for I only got 41 out of 50. Moreover, when I happen to sweep my midterm exam in STATISTICS, I didn’t even commend myself for a job well done. I even remember saying to myself, “that has to be the usual case whenever I take exams”.



3 Manic-depressive
I could really experience the extremes sometimes. There are times when I do feel so light, as if even the simplest thing could make my heart jump out. When the world seems so fair and all making it a folly to kill time over a mishap, shortcoming or even insecurity. But more often than not, you’d get to catch me gravely serious with my life for I want everything to turn out the way I wanted them. I want to be in control of my life and never did I want to fail. I always get to overstrain myself with so much pressures causing me to be ill-tempered most of the time. But don’t you get me wrong. Ü The “manic-depressive” thing don’t mean per se. I’m not psychotic! ; )



4 Fetish for Novels
At this particular point in time, I still could not make myself believe that I’ve actually gone through a 360 degree turn in my life. Years and even decades ago, no one could ever push me to be infront of a book and kill time over it. I thought that those things were only created to satisfy the imaginative and visionary minds of nerdy people. I find it really boring to read even a single sentence of a pocketbook. What more of a novel?! But I guess, everything had definitely changed now. I bought a novel of a british author just last week, and I was surprised to death when I realized that I was able to finish it in just a matter of 5 hours.. haha =P I think that’s a good skill to enhance, of course, in preparation to the LAW proper that I’m about to take where I’d be obliged to acknowledge books as my life. ; )



5 Deceptively elegant
People would often see me wearing just a casual piece of clothing. I don’t wear jewelries, don’t use make-ups nor do I spend much of my finances on night outs. My friends would even tease me “kuripot” for I never did appear too loose on my funds. So as expected they would have this notion that I’m just an average ordinary girl from the block. A nobody and a no one. Just so you know, I came from a clan who gives due value and respect to all their properties and resources. In fact, I was reared up to be living in a low-profile manner. So despite being a daughter of a colonel and niece of a general and though blessed with more than enough to sustain a luxurious living, people would still conceive the thought that I am the simplest character a girl could ever be. [masarap magmukhang mahirap noh. Hindi takaw hold-up, kidnap, massacre, salvage?!.. what?!! In this case, who would’ve thought that this simple lady owns a million peso acct in her bank?! ; ) ]



6 An artist by blood
An introvert person (ahem..!) you’d least think capable of doing almost everything. Sing? Dance? Draw? Play any sport? Name it and I’ve got everything complete in one package! Wahahah =) just kiddin’. But seriously, I really could sing. I remember I usually sing on Christmas parties thrown up by former Mayor BF in our city. A party usually held for the police, military officials, and with all the inaugurated local government authorities in our vicinity. Moreover, I also have this passion for dancing. When I was still in grade school, I remember being a member of our DANCE CLUB and getting to perform on the stage during special occasions and significant gatherings. I, too, could draw and even sketch works of art but sadly I didn’t have ample time to hone such skill for I had been really engrossed with my studies. And when it comes to sports, I believe I have proven much of my capacity. I experienced the whooping stretch of my career when I had been part of the basketball varsity of my beloved school St.Scholastica’s Academy-Marikina which played a vital part in the history of the Women’s National Collegiate Athletic Association or more commonly known as the WNCAA.



Whew! At last, I’m done. =P
