25 Random Things

This is the last among the 3 tags my bestfriend got me into. I won't be tagging my other friends but if any of you want to do this, you are free to do so.

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. The greatest thing that ever happened to me was when I accepted Jesus in my life and started a personal relationship with Him.
2. I keep simple things in my heart that only God knows. Things that I cannot share to my family nor to my closest friends. It may be pain or victory or hurt or joy. Simple things that me and my God share.
3. I love listening to people from all walks of life, from the younger generation to matured ones. I am fascinated hearing their stories and looking at their eyes as they glitter with pride and joy when they share their life.
4. When I’m in the bathroom, I hate it when someone knocks and tells me to hurry up.
5. I can sleep very late in the evening, but I hate waking up at 4am or earlier. I’m not an early riser.
6. I need to have a rest day in a week. If not, I can easily get sick the next week.
7. My bestfriend and I have so many things in common- fashion, humor, hobbies, height (hehehe), food – you name it, we both like it (more or less). She calls us as “twinnies”.
8. I love sashimi! My most fave is pink salmon sashimi. I miss Saisaki…
9. I wanted to have a boy bestfriend, but he didn’t come…yet. I think I will meet him this year (wide smile).
10. I used to believe that Mapua is a school acronym. It’s actually a surname. By the way, miss my college days… (senti mode).
11. When I was a kid, I wanted to become a doctor but my cousin, who was a med student then and a licensed doctor now, discouraged me saying it is too difficult. I ended up as an engineer… no regrets though.
12. As of this writing, I am employed in the same office. . . more than eleven years. Whew!
13. I cry my heart out at movies. Legends of the Fall, Braveheart and Passion of the Christ – to name a few.
14. The most extreme adventures I’ve tried: space shuttle and anchor’s away rides of Enchanted Kingdom, rolling disc of Everland, Korea. For me, those are extremes. LOL
15. My very first diary was given by my Ate on 1991. I still keep it together with 5 more. I love writing journals and it gives unexplainable mixed feeling when I read the past stories I had.
16. Besides journals, I also keep letters/cards/notes/gift tags from loved ones and friends. These are my treasures.
17. I enjoyed my childhood very much. I played all sort of Pinoy games and made a lot of funny stuff with friends and family. From taguan to moro-moro, barilan to football, paper doll making to tinda-tindahanan, Chinese garter to luksong tinik, and many more…
18. The most embarrassing experience I ever had is still a secret. LOL
19. My first heartbreak was after I graduated from college. I was not allowed to have a boyfriend when I was still studying but at the time that I’m ready to entertain my long-time friend, he’s got a girl. I cried…
20. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t gamble. Boring to some but good for me.
21. I have a Saturday tattoo – my singles dgroup. My weekend is not complete when we don’t have meetings.
22. I cannot remember the total number of my inaanak. I stopped counting two years ago, the total then was 30.
23. My family is not perfect but if given a chance to choose for another one, it will still be them. We are not showy but we extend the love and respect in other ways. For my four siblings that got married, I cried for each. I don’t know why it saddened me to see them sharing their life to another.
24. One day, I will walk the aisle to marry the best man God prepared for me.
25. I believe in one God. I believe in life after death. I believe in heaven and hell. I believe that it is only by faith in Jesus than one can be saved. Acknowledging Him as the Savior and making Him as Lord is the greatest decision a man can do.

I never thought writing 25 random things can be this fun (and hard). I made it bes, though it took me a while to start it. :)
