I was tagged by Atomic Girl two months ago but I was unable to reply immediately. So sorry Peachy. Below are the rules:

A person who gets tagged must write in his or her blog ten weird things or habits or little known facts about himself or herself. He or she should also state this rule clearly. At the end, he or she should tag six other people, except the one who tagged him or her.

Here goes my not so public profile....

1. I was afraid of big crowds as a child. I almost lost during a Quiapo procession. I used to attend the Black Nazarene religious festival.

2. I detest shouting. It’s unproductive, disrespectful and arrogant. Even during rallies, there is a difference between speaking out loud and shouting. One speaks to the crowd, an activist should not shout.

3. I always lose umbrellas. I tend to misplace or lose them in jeepneys, buses, buildings and other public places. During the rainy season, I have about 2-3 umbrellas. By the start of summer period, they will all be gone by then.

4. I don’t know how to use the chopsticks. My wife is embarrassed every time we eat at Japanese restaurants. But I love sushi.

5. During my freshman year, I was against the politics of the Left. I used to make fun and ignore the ‘papansin’ activists.

6. My grandfather was a former personal bodyguard of President Diosdado Macapagal. He was proud of me during the EDSA Dos uprising. He was already dead when his grandson began criticizing Gloria, the daughter of his former boss.

7. I cried after losing in the recent elections. But my disappointment turned into bitter anger when I heard of partylist groups buying their way into Congress. While we were too much engrossed over the Koko-Zubiri drama, some partylist groups were quietly negotiating the election results. Shame, shame.

8. I felt sad when SM Annex North Edsa was demolished. It was my tambayan during my high school years (1992-1996). I miss the bowling lanes, A&W rootbeer float, Wendy’s salad bar, vide game arcades, silvershop and the Annex cinemas. So many happy memories during those innocent years. But SM management seems more interested to confront the challenge presented by the refreshing and elegant (though oddly-placed) Trinoma mall.

9. I haven’t read a Harry Potter book.

10. I watched an Eat Bulaga show at the Ultra two years ago. I was supposed to attend a forum in Quezon City but I was already in Ortigas so I decided to watch Tito, Vic and Joey instead.

I now tag Lisa, Gerry, Tonyo, Ina, Leng and Rey.
