20 Random Facts

Per the last comment on my last entry, I was tagged by the very talented penovate to write in "20 random facts about me then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts."

Here goes, typing at the speed of sound:

1. I take perverse pleasure in trying to look great and being praised and having Ian worship the road to style that i tread on

2. I have 5 books which I have started in the past two months that I haven't finished reading. First, The Tempest by Will Shakespeare, then, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (pronounced by some dopey-pricks as dumb-ass), one other book by Neil Gaiman entitled (edit, yeah, not the MirrorMask script, as initially posted) Anansi Boys, then the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and last, this cool book by Susanna Clark entitled Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell. (Smite me now, Ainna, dahil hindi ka nag-iisa on being stuck with a reading material. In fact consider yourself lucky for being stuck with only one)

3. I have never bought a watch for myself since birth and I hate wearing watches as there do not seem to be a need for it

4. I like seeing people laugh

5. Favorite desert: Creme Brulee Trio at M-Cafe (Museum Cafe at GB4)

6. All the four mobile phones I ever owned (from the by-gone years to the present) are still working, in tip-top shape, and currently being used (two of them I personally use)

7. I have all the traits of a person with ADT (attention deficit trait) based on an article featured in the Harvard Business Review in December 2004 (or was it January 2005)

8. I have an incurable sleeping disorder

9. Because of item 8 (above), the most marvelous product that has helped me is Nickel's Morning-After Rescue Gel (for the face. It takes that tired-and-haggard-look away in an instant. NO KIDDING! Got it from Men's Inc. at The Rockwell)

10. I'm an accountant by profession in an HR career but an artist at heart and mind and soul in the body and character of a teenager (complex? Go figure!)

11. I did sound operating and mixing in several shows while in college

12. Going around malls, whether or not I buy anything on weekends, serves as my therapy for work-related stress and boredom

13. I smoke but I never drink

14. As a pre-schooler, my mom recounted that i wanted to be a cop (ala Chips, the TV program). As a grade-schooler, I wanted to be a scientist and an astronaut. In high-school, I considered being an architect. Look at what I am now!

15. I somewhat derive pleasure from the mental anguish caused by me processing multiple thoughts at a single moment, mostly at night, thereby causing my incurable sleeping disorder

16. I cry over cartoons, anime, and MTV when I feel like it

17. I feel the gods still smile at me and angels watch over me while great-to-wonderful-to-fabulous people surround me

18. Tyler is, by far, the best store there is in the style-and-cut department for men (though they are getting to be quite pricey as time goes by), in my opinion

19. I have so many books, all kinds of bags (travel, sport, gym, office, etc), and kilos upon freakin kilos of socks.

20. Jazel still labels me "The Glamorous," while PeeWee still calls me Powder (yeah, the guy from the movie). Bitch. Oh, not you, Jazel.

That's it, and, sorry if I do this to you guys, I tag:
