24 Random Things About Me, Written on My 24th Birthday

What the...

24th birthday??!!

Tempus Fugit eh...


Oh, by the way, to celebrate my 24th *Sigh* birthday, I wrote 24 things that you may (or may not) know about me...


1. I suck my thumb since birth... and unknowingly and unconsciously, until NOW...


2. My first pet dog was named Baleleng, way back when I was a toddler, and I cannot remember how that dog looked like...


3. I can stand 36 hours without sleeping, thanks to my job...


4. The first time I saw a choir performed was way back nineteen years ago, and I didn't know it was the Philippine Madrigal Singers. It took me almost two decades to know that, and yes, I'm a great fan of them.


5. I had numerous dreams of flying since I was a child, perhaps it helped me choose my course in college hehehe...


6. I discovered I have a talent for singing when I sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in front of the class in Grade 3. Also, my mom would get angry because I'm not singing the mass songs correctly; it took me years to realize I'm singing the voiced part or the second voice.

7. When I'm so happy, I cry; When I'm so sad, I cry;

8. I would love to have a piano at home and arrange songs with it.


9. To eat fishballs with thick sauce is my simplest form of pleasure.


10. I tend to be SOOOOO forgetful. I would put something somewhere are forget it in a matter of minutes.


11. I have a tremendous attraction with people with names starting in J. Might be coincidental, but most of my parters have names starting with J. Hmmm...


12. I'm always fascinated with time travel, but will never attempt to do so.


13. My favorite getaway should always be nature tripping. Snorkling, hiking, I'm definitely in!!


14. My parents argued for my name before I was born; should my father won, my name would be Timotheo Joshue Grava; sounds holy huh... I still like my true name though


15. I have 5 kittens on frame. Cross-stitched kittens, that is. I started stitching them March 2003 ended May 2003, framed December 2008.


16. I spend 5 hours a day for land travel, and I have a phobia for vehicle-related accidents.


17. I danced half-naked... once.


18. The most vulnerable part of my wardrobe would always be the front zipper of my pants, I would go to diff places in a day and realize my fly was open the whole day.


19. I never see colors the way most people do. Others may see it as light blue, it looks pinkish to me. You will say its green, It looks yellow to my eye... huhuhu


20. I don't believe in love at sight, but I do in love at first listening. There are a couple of music that I liked the first time I heard them, and until now, timeless personal favorites. A few would be Laging Ikaw by Jed Maddela, With These Eyes by Roch Voisine and Pachelbel's Canon in D.


21. I did an egg roll in the middle of EDSA Buendia. The bus I am supposed to ride on suddenly sped off while I'm on the bus door. Stupid driver.


22. I am easily distracted.


23. When I was young, I was so afraid of the Our Lady of Peace statue in the EDSA Shrine. I thought it was a monster, ready to eat anyone who comes close to it.


24. I despise eating pork liver in any food; but I love liver spreads...
