Random thoughts about me.
1. I am bum with some style, sometimes a teacher, most of the times a housewife. I temporary gave up my career of at least ten years to focus on my marriage.
2. Each time I move to a new place, I look for a Filipino community and definitely a Christian church. I found security by being at peace with what I believe. The safest place is to see the same believers meeting on Sunday in order to receive the spiritual bread from JC.
3. I married my first crush. He is really from Mars, I am from Jupiter. But after three years of wedded bliss, of confrontations and adjustments, we blend the way a coffee blends with cream.
4. My current daily task is to cook: just in time before my husband arrives from work and is expected to be very tired and hungry; and just in time before he wakes up after a good sleep.
5. I love going to sento or japanese public baths: in other words, skinny dipping. Because winter is bitingly cold, my safe recluse is going to sento. Soaking your body to a temperature of 45C definitely relieves the daily tension.
6. When I was in elementary, I was once a Choir member. Back then, my teacher told me to lip synch during the competition 
hahaha! Anyway, I was good in playing a stringed instrument named octavina and learned it at nine. Back then when I hum a melody, I could identify the notes and could play those instantly. My love for music was initiated by my then teacher who had become my life-time mentor (bless his soul! RIP Sir Rolle)
7. I am uniquely and fearfully made. My college professor told me I was an X-men. I have congenital issues: one kidney and two-bodied uterus. Common notion is that I could have twins, but it is not so.
8. I got pregnant and learned it at ten weeks delayed, had lost my baby at week 12. I went back from Nagoya to Manila, clouded with the knowledge that he had no heartbeat. It took me at least three months of grieving. That was one of the painful memories that I do not want to remember, next to the death of my mother.
9. I went to Tacloban without someone from my family knowing it. I stayed there for four days, hopped in to a plane and met my college friends. I had a tour of the whole Leyte island, two 7-hour jeep ride to and from St. Bernard to meet a friend serving in Red Cross.
10. I cried the very first hour I arrived to my house in Nagoya: first time in my life to live alone. I could not sleep in my first weeks as I was imagining ghosts popping up somewhere. I guess my childhood imagination still runs wild.
11. I hate horror movies the most. I cant understand why some want to go to a movie house only to be terrified. I go to movies to be entertained and laugh.
12. I have two kids from a different mother. Sometimes I give her money to take care of ‘my’ children. In return, she receives all the love and affection in behalf of me.
13. I have less than a handful trusted friends. We barely see each other, but we keep on updating from time to time. Those friends I have since grade school. Thanks to technology, we are now facebooking!
14. I am the eldest in the sibling of six. We lost my mother when I was eleven. I had my youngest sister when I was eighteen. She is now in highschool.
15. Until sixteen, we only had one desk fan and one black and our very first white colored TV. We had our first gas stove when I was in second year college. We bought our first refrigerator on my first paychecks.
16. I frequented the library in highschool to read Jean val Jean, Without Seeing the Dawn, and Anne Frank. Other reading assignments, I read the comics version. I love the story of Jan Val Jean, that until now, I dream of watching Les Miserables with Lea Salonga on stage, in Broadway.
17. I love showbiz chikka. I got the habit from a colleague at work. I monitor news at pep.ph. I watch pinoychannel.tv and youtube the most. Now, my husband gets the showbiz tidbits from me. I got the news from him watching online streaming.
18. I love Math when I was in college. My first job was teaching Math in the university where I graduated. I was hooked on proving theorems and solving Mathematical problems. I did it the way how an artist devotes his hands to his painting.
19. I am raised in home meetings and bible studies. I am still a part of the group that fifteen years ago. Still stronger and expanding. From student groups to multi-churches in the Philippines and across the world.
20. My father is my dearest friend and biggest fan. One thing for sure, his love for us, his children, surpasses time and distance. I love my grandfather second, he is old now but is still strong. Thanks God. I hope I can give him my child while he is still here.
21. I am worst in sports and physical discipline. I want to be of shape but I lack the motivation.
22. I cannot sleep nor cannot go out without having a kiss from my husband. Force of habit. A kiss may lead to something… (wink wink) ;D
23. I am a dreamer. I have so many things running in my mind, so many times I hoped and wished for something… Maybe if I even reach fifty, I still have so many dreams to pursue.
24. I was once hooked in debt due to credit cards and I am now free from it! Allelujah. Now, I learned how to say no, learned how to wait, and learned the art of satisfying my eyes only…
25. I want to be a mother of a child born from me. Honestly still dreading the thought of a miscarriage, I still wish, hope, dream, pray that one day I will have a child. Most of the times it is very disheartening to get a negative pregnancy test. But I am still checking anyway. Who knows, God may some day hear my prayer. And one day, He may just smile at me and say, “I hear you”.
26. After more than a year of bumming, I learned something from myself. In the matters of the heart, I know who and I sometimes blatantly honest with it. In passion and devotion, I know what will make my day everyday. My passion is in programming and I will be always be satisfied for a programming work.
27. I got showbizzy when I was in college. Was the team captain named as “Vivian” (now I remember, what a name!) and won first on Ready Get Set Go of Channel 2.We took home at least P30,000 cash prizes plus appliances. And honestly, just after we left the studio, a segment crew of Channel 2 met us in the corner. He got the P20,000 for the “recruitment fees”. I got P500.
Got ambush-interviewed by a Channel 2 reporter on “Puso ng Masa” segment of the daily news (my college friend saw this while he was in Mindanao and he was really amused to see me in national TV. He said it made his day! )
And when I was in highschool, my “loveletter” was read on a national TV complete with my name and address at Channel 7′s Eat Bulaga, for a Del Monte Kitchenomics recipe episode. I got a complimentary recipe book signed by the hosts Mr. Daza and an actress that I cannot remember her name as of this writing.
28. I am a wife. I will be a mother of nation. I am living a life of abundance. I am always blessed. I am a blessing. And yes, I am DESTINY.
