With me not being used to having a lot of work pile up, I haven't had much time to blog lately. But I will take a break from my blogging hiatus to respond to Aids and Bernard who have "tagged" me to tell five things you probably don't know about me.
But I'm going to take matters into my own hands and add my own little twist. Instead of jotting down five things, I'm going to make a list of six things you probably don't know about me, but one of them isn't true; you'll have to guess which one that is. I'll reveal the answer in a later post and you'll still end up finding out five things you probably didn't know about me. In the meantime, mark your guess by leaving a comment.

Six things you probably don't know about me (but one of them isn't true!):
- I flunked the entrance exam to Ateneo Grade School. I ended up studying in Don Bosco for two years. I took the Ateneo Grade School exam again and got in when I was in Grade 2. The difference? I didn't become smarter. I took the exam the first time in Filipino, and in English the second time around.
- I wasn't before, but I'm currently allergic to alcohol in alcoholic drinks; I get rashes and have difficulty breathing. Alcohol is not such a bad thing to be allergic to, in my opinion. Better than being lactose intolerant.
- For as long as I can remember, my parents have played mahjong with their friends regularly, usually several nights a week. With mahjong such a big part of our daily life (and family income) I know the rules of the game, but strangely enough, I have never played an actual game in my life.
- I learned to play the guitar during my first year of high school. One of my classmates ("IC" was his nickname) taught me the first song I learned to play: Ang Huling El Bimbo. My parents bought my my first guitar for my birthday that year. It was colored "toothpaste/Aquafresh blue", as I liked to describe it.
- I have never stepped foot inside a casino my whole life. Of course, the first 21 years of my life leading up to the legal gambling age hardly count, but still...
- And now, for the most embarrassing thing you probably don't know about me... I was once a (closet) Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls fan. Much like every other guy in my generation, except that they're not man enough to admit it.

Thanks for the tag! Problem is, i'm quite busy with thesis presentations right now. As soon as I can, I'll blog about this. :)
5 is not true.. ^_^
i'm inclined to say 4 is not true, because i thought that the first song people learned to play in guitar is Extreme's "More Than Words". haha. i'll post my trivia on my blog.

I reckon #5 is a fake. When are you going to reveal the answer?
I'd say its #1 :P
ang alam ko lang na true ay yung #4.
IC Gamara = pinakadabest!
