Five Things

Here are five things you may not know about me.

 

1)         I used to be one of the tallest girls during my elementary school days.  One of the tallest and the biggest bully.   I didn’t seem to add any more inches after that but I am still a big bully.

 

2)         My childhood dream was to be a newscaster and a beautician.  (but to this day, I do not know how to put on eyeshadow)

 

3)         When I was in fourth grade, two of my teachers had an argument over my schedule.  (campus celeb eh).  Since I was too young to make a decision, they decided for me and thought of what would give me better chances to graduate with honors.  (o diba OA, grade school pa lang).  My music teacher/school choir directress conceded.  And so on my sixth grade, I became editor in chief of our school paper but each time I see our school choir perform, I remember imagining where I would have been standing.  Now that I am grown up and can make my own decisions, please don’t make me choose between writing and music.

 

4)         My friend Jen wouldn’t believe it but I did have short and curly hair.  During high school, I kept it short but from senior year up to my first few years as a working girl, I kept it a bit longer, slightly above the nape.  When I finally decided to take advantage of the ‘advances in hair technology”, I managed to have slightly longer tresses, reaching slightly below my shoulders (just a few months ago!)

 

So what don’t you know about my hair? 

 

Until I was nine, my hair was suuupper straight. Light shade of brown, straight and shiny.  What happened?  I don’t know!!  Okay, one word.  Genes.  Of my six siblings, three have straight and black hair while the rest of us have wavy to curly brown hair.

 

And so goes my mane story

                                            

Lastly….. whew..

 

I was crazy (and still is) over Pierce Brosnan and the series that brought him fame, Remington Steele.  I had clippings of him and his co-star Stephanie Zimbalist.  I remember being disappointed to learn that he was (then) married to (the late) Cassandra Harris because I wanted Stephanie and Pierce to end up together.  I was so crazy about Remington Steele that I still know the prologue of Laura Holt (Zimbalist’s character) that serves as the ( first season ) episode opener. Try me. (I did change a word or two because what I memorized then didn’t make any sense!)

 

Those are my five things.  Sure looks like ten things to me.  Obvious bang I had fun doing this..?  =P
