Seven Random Facts about Me

I was tagged by Che and have been asked to say 7 unknown facts about me. I haven't had much to tell 'coz I still prefer keeping some with me. Thanks Cheryle! I really enjoyed doing this~

So, here it goes:

I don't look like a book worm, but I do love books. I love the smell of books and enjoy reading them anywhere, anytime.

I got involved in the 1994 Philippine National Games. I was one of the 500 delegates who kicked off the ceremony and my involvement gave me a Final grade of 98, final test exempted.

I was a Vicente P. Eusebio Scholar in HS (Pasig City), Provincial School Board Scholar in College (Batangas) and a Dean Lister for some semesters in College ...modesty aside... just pure luck...LOL

I failed to go to PMA because of the height requirement...sh*t.

I commuted from Pasig all the way to Batangas alone at the age of 12.

I gained more than 8 kgs. since I came here in Korea. Sheesh.

My sister Tetet was an ATEnean scholar from HS~College and I'm helping out again with another scholar... ehem. (We're almost there! with God's help~)

Keeping Right

Have you ever experienced walking on the right side of a sidewalk when suddenly a rushing Korean run into your direction, literally? If you won't give way, you'll just hear that someone muttering something under his breath. Or have you ever had these cases like you were doing " patintero "(pah-tin-teh-roh) with the other person when you are walking? I find this behavior very bothering (sometimes odd and funny) especially when I use the stairways in the subway. Some subway stations have escalors going up installed at the left (e.g. Deokcheon Station). What is surprising is that they even have this sign: I told this to Tommy a few days ago and I just found out from him that they learn walking at the left side of the road in their elementary days. They even have this song that goes lilke this: "People keep to the left and cars to the right. Let's cross the street after looking right and left." So, it must be because of an old convention of walking on the le...

Samsung's AMOLED

Yup. I have a new phone and this is because of Chloe. She knocked out my phone so hard on the bathroom floor that made the monitor useless for two whole days! I went to a near Anycall service center and actually planned to repair it but they said that I had to pay for around 25,000won for a part replacement, I just thought of buying a new one since there are a lot of free phones nowadays and I had used my phone for more than two years. To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...
