This Ghost and Day Challenges #1

A repost from my other blog, Ghost Over the Roof at Tumblr.

Since I’ve signed up in Tumblr in July, I’ve caught on some of these Day Challenges eg. 30 Days, 30 Letters, 30 Days of Photographic Memories, 10 Day Challenge, 30 Days of Constipation…oh-kaay… I made that last one up. :D

I gathered they were there, circulating all over the tumblng world, so bloggers have a fail-safe way of still posting worthwhile stuff in their respective sites during those days when Mental Block guy slaps them upside the head.

I’ve been thinking that these challenges might be the reason I signed up here in the first place. Sorta. I deactivated at least six different Tumblr accounts in the last four months and kind of given up with the challenge thing.

But damn, the allure of it remains. I saved three different challenges (I’ve been using the word ‘challenge’ a lot) in my draft box and everyday I’m gonna pick one interesting topic at random. *excited*

Here’s to hoping I finish them all.

                                 

#1. A Recent Picture of You and 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself

About this photo: This is recent enough; I just took it this morning, Aug. 23, at 8:30am. I share a bedroom with my sisters; that wood thing over my head’s my bed, the top bunk. I woke up and just for the hell of it took a picture of myself (because that’s the first thing I thought of every morning). I don’t even know how I opened the laptop; I was still half-asleep then. :D

Fact me. XD

1. I suck at Math. I’m still wondering how I pulled that 2.9 average for algebra and statistics back in college. I’m pretty sure I was the most pathetic guy in that class. My heart skips a beat in raw terror whenever Madam Manzanillo announced a short quiz. I mean, seriously, I’ve been thinking a bunch of geniuses back in ancient times went on a convention somewhere and invented math just to make things difficult for kids who can’t do numbers unless it’s in the bathroom.

2. I walk around and around the living room couch and dining table fifty times or more while listening to music. It’s an odd habit of mine I got from high school. Doing it helps me think and figure things out creatively.

3. I love cinnamon. If I have my way, I’ll cook up a whole buffet with cinnamon in it. Fried cinnamon rice, chicken dipped in cinnamon sauce, chocolate-cinnamon ice cream for dessert, etc. I just LOVE it. Years ago, back when they still made it, I almost spent all my allowance on Gardenia’s Apple-Cinnamon bread.

4. I like girly pop and RnB music (except from a handful of singers I can’t stand like Miley and Charice). Yeah, I listen to them all the time. 99.5 of songs in my borrowed iPod are female singers. Somehow, listening to them is more pleasant; sensual and inspires positivity; stuff I don’t get when I listen to guys rocking it out.

5. Torpe ako. Enough said.

6. OC ako sa book collection ko. Especially for the ones I got from National Bookstore, my personal book heaven; where I get orgasms whenever I see the SALE signs. I take good care of my books (lalo na sa mga pinag-ipunan kong bilhin kasi mahal eg. Harry Potter Books 1-7) and I’ll be very firm in telling you can’t borrow them. Sorry. :D

7. If No. 6 is any indication, I’m also selfish. Bunso ako eh, that must be it. Most of the time, I’m willing to share some of my things, like those that don’t really matter much. But if I see you enjoying my things too much, and I happen to LOVE that thing too…tsk tsk… nuh-uh, hon, gimme that back.

8. I live to love Pokemon. They’re the best creatures ever. I mean, a cute yellow furball that electrocutes you on occasion? That’s AWESOME! And the games! I’m like a kid trapped in a porn store whenever I play them. I get a kick out of being the best trainer in the region; kicking the Elite Four’s asses, catching ‘em all to fill up my Pokedex. Hell, and I don’t even own a Nintendo DS; I play it on the PC. :D

9. I used to want to become a doctor. Doctors are sexy; they save lives and act so cool and fly in their white coat and stethoscope bling. And then one day I woke up thinking med school was expensive. And I found out that cutting up people and reaching over to all that blood and flesh and internal organs to make the patient better won’t really be my thing. I don’t want to see the things that the worst of health can do to people. Plus, I discovered that I looked more like a patient than a doctor with my skinny frame and bony shoulders. I don’t think ill people trusts a doctor who looks like he should be wearing a black hooded robe and a scythe. Baka isipin nila, ako ‘yung susundo sa kanila sa kabilang buhay.

10. I like watching porn. Always. I know, it’s not that interesting; I mean, almost all guys do it.

11. I have diverse tastes in some personal stuff. ;D

12. I am extremely lazy. But when I’m very passionate about something, I’m like a shark with a mouthful of human. ‘Pag gusto kung gawin yung isang bagay, driven talaga ako. I try to do it until it’s awesomely, truly perfect.

13. OC ako sa mga gripo at appliances sa bahay. I check them all, over and over again. Some nights, I wake up just to see if I left anything on. It nags me if I don’t go check.

14. I get withdrawal symptoms if I’m not online everyday. Something always pushes me to double-click Google Chrome, kahit walang load ang SmartBro. Freak. :D

15. I am me. And I’ll never change unless I really, really have to.

Til’ next time!
