Meme: Things you should know about me

Blog lives: I met fellow bloggers Joel and Ilya last week and had wonderful discussions with them. Thank you very much for sharing fantastic ideas on how to unleash the full potential of blogging in improving the lives of people. I also met Bikoy, a famous UP student blogger, last Friday in Morayta.

Check out the new pictures in my photoblog. Click here and here. You will be amazed, taktaktak!


I was tagged by Tharum. This is a blogger’s game I couldn’t refuse. Find out what Meme means. So here are the things you still don’t know about me:

1. I was an Altar Boy in our community for seven years. I was a very religious kid. I read the bible, I prayed the rosary, I went to church everyday after school. I enjoyed the Friday mass in Quiapo and Wednesday mass in Baclaran. I was a bible quiz champion. By the way, I was named after a Saint.

2. Friends think I always visit news websites every morning. They are wrong. I first check out the TV ratings of Eat Bulaga. Then I visit the websites of my idols: Jet Lee, Michael Jackson, Gerry Albert Corpuz, Francis Ford and Sofia Coppola.

3. During college, I was an avid follower of political scientist Remigio Agpalo. I became like a stoker who wish to have a brief conversation with the old professor. I succeeded one time while Dr. Agpalo was having lunch in a college cafeteria.

4. Everytime I visit a bookshop, I search for books written by historian Teodoro Agoncillo, storyteller Jeffrey Archer and novelist Iris Murdoch.

5. I was only in high school when I joined my first street rally in front of French embassy in Makati to protest the nuclear testing in the Pacific. During college, I was a freshman when I joined an anti-oil deregulation protest organized by the student council.

Let me add that my dream is still to be reunited with my parents and siblings who are now living in California and Dubai. Perhaps, I will join them in the US. Perhaps, they may choose to return here. Who knows?

salamat. Natatalo recently ng Wowowee ng Eat Bulaga sa ratings sa game since last week. Pero I remain loyal to Eat Bulaga, mahirap kasing kalimutan ang isang TV show na naging bahagi ng buhay ko sa loob ng 33 taon.

It's interesting to learn more about you. Didn't have the time to say 'Goodbye' as I I had to catch a bus for Agra in the early morning.

Cambodia and Philipine shares the same region, so why not having another chance to see you again, my first Filipino friend!

Hope your dream to come true, reunited with your parents and siblings.

It's good to know about your religious experience. I am also a very religious person. I was an RVM sister for seven years and was a high school principal once. I had the opportunity to see most areas in the Philippines that's why I appreciate the country so much. One of the things I miss most though is going to mass in a jampacked church full of noisy kids. Churches here are mostly empty...

BTW, I love reading your posts. Your blog helps me connect with what is going on in the Philippines. I hope you don't mind that I added you as my friend!
