Things about me – Part II, Next 20

After 2 months, I am adding 20 more tidbits about me.

21. I am near-sighted so I wear contact lenses.
22. I never had my wisdom tooth and never will.
23. I have sensitive skin which makes me allergic to the sun. I get rashes if I’m under the sun for a long time.
24. I used to get hives or nettlerash when I eat seafood, especially shrimps and lobsters. Now, thanks to a friend’s suggestion of swallowing a teaspoon of sugar before eating, my body has re-instated the immune system against seafood, allowing me to eat them without any trouble anymore.
25. I prefer Coca Cola over Pepsi.
26. I generally don’t like non-chocolate (or brown-coloured) flavoured ice cream.
27. I don’t like strawberry. The fruit and the flavour.
28. I like to eat chicken skin, especially when its from lechon manok (roasted chicken) and KFC.
29. I am not tone deaf.
30. I used to be the Chairperson of one of University of the Philippines’ choral groups.
31. I used to be a contributor to a sports magazine, writing about the basketball team, Purefoods, of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
32. I got several hate mails during my stint as #31.
33. I never had my hair coloured nor highlighted until 2001.
34. I used to prefer having my hair short. Now, I prefer to wear it long.
35. I have cross-bite. (Do you have it or you are?)
36. I prefer the window seat on a plane. But if it is a short flight, I normally ask for an aisle seat.
37. I speak Spanish, fluently.
38. I tried to learn French because a gorgeous French guy came up to me in Gare du Nord in Paris who couldn’t speak English. After my beginners course, I could say my name (je m’appelle…), ask for something (je voudrais…), ask someone else’s name (comment t’appelles-tu?) and count in French (un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq…soixante-dix). Oh, and ca va? Tres bien…
39. I would like to learn another language. Either Portuguese, GermanDanish or Japanese.
40. I love Garfield. I don’t like Snoopy.

Stick around for the next 20…:sly:

  1. Hahaha! Of course, I never got to use my Frenchy wiles on him since I never saw after that rendezvous in Gare du Nord! So, useless… :sigh:

    As for the sugar, I really don’t know how scientific that is. All I knew is that before I ate shrimps, I take in sugar and I don’t have an allergy attack. Gusto mong i-research? Hehehe…

  2. ruth: bakit ka naman natawa? teka, you mean #38?

    catsie: added to that, even when the flavour is white chocolate, di ko pa rin gusto!

  3. nothing really, ruth…peer pressure – he he he…i’m in england, remember? they don’t really like the germans nor the french…:sly:
