1. I am one of the students who experienced the many changes in the DepEd curriculum: I became valedictorian even though I was a transferee from a private school; our batch did not take the NSAT, and; my batch in UP was the first to experience the RGEP.
2. I had lived in 22 different houses and apartments.
3. I used to be really addicted to Math.
4. I love the smell of rugby and muriatic acid. But I despise the smell of chlorine and alcohol.
5. I don't like hospitals. In fact throughout my life, I have only been in hospitals 10 times.
6. I have a very short attention span which explains why I sometimes have difficulty maintaining a character or an emotion.
7. I love Snickers and any thing sweet.
8. I also love the smell of pen markers, especially the Pilot Whiteboard marker.
9. Travelling is a luxury and a hobby I would want to afford.
10. I have performed in front of hundreds of people for 6 consecutive shows at the Meralco Theater.
11. I am vain. No explanations needed.
12. I have a low level of spatial intelligence. Up until this day, I still get lost in SM Megamall.
13. I loathe Ateneo because they refused my application to transfer when I was in Grade 4, though I passed the exams with flying colors, because I was financially incapacitated.
14. I am the first Decano in our side of the clan to become a UP graduate.... I know.
15. I used to weigh 220 pounds and used to have a 40-inch waistline.
16. I hate my hair. I don't know what to do with it. And now it's slowly hating me back.
17. I love photography. And I am saving money so I can buy a DSLR this year.
18. When I was in grade school, I ate paper when I get bored.
19. I used to believe that Storm of X-Men was in control of weather.
20. When I was a kid, I thought that the sun needed to rest whenever it would suddenly become dark.
21. I want to know who composed the following game songs: Langit, Lupa; Monkey, Monkey; Shake Shake Shampoo and Si Nena. I think they are very creative.
22. I used to be a goth.
23. I get satisfaction out of picking my nose even when in public.
24. I don't like watching movies in movie houses.
25. I still dream of becoming a ramp model.

i could use some hyperboles now
To say that the past month and two weeks of this month have been challenging is an understatement. To say the least, the last several weeks of my life have been filled with a series of pleasant and dreadful surprises.
I have been assigned to become a part-administrator of the school's new program, which is turning out pretty well - at least in my point of view.
The summer months have allowed me to earn extra income and at the same time develop skills and showcase my talent in writing and logistics management; activities I am very fond of doing.
Apollo came to me through the school's laptop program coursed through Sapura Technologies. Very exciting.
Then there comes the news of my mom supposedly getting a new job in Bahrain, which did not turn out pretty well after her previous employer had her detained for being a runaway (she says she isn't, though). At present, I am still looking for money to buy her a plane ticket back home. Home, household. Okay, stop. Don't even get me started on that. I shall put them off for another post.
School started with me not knowing what my real academic load is. Surprised (not sure if pleasantly though), I took the challenge of teaching world literature and mythology for the first time. I am getting the hang of it and I am actually enjoying. I still teach journalism, the subject I shall forever adore.
Despite the administrative post I was given, I am teaching eight sections: six sophomore classes and two senior classes. I have no actual qualms about this since for the last three years, I've been handling 10-11 regular classes. At first I thought teaching 8 sections would be a breeze. But as the new alternative learning program began moving ahead, it dawned on me just how much I'd be working on; that I'd most likely be working from God knows what time until I fall asleep. Having artists in the program is both a blessing and a slight pain as these students' schedules would be as erratic as the weather; so their parents say. Then I would most likely be checking the progress of each student on a daily basis.
Hopefully, these foresights are just exaggerations of what I would actually be doing in the several months that shall be pouring in.
Rants, these things may seem, but I am actually looking forward to doing the logistical stuff of the program. I just don't know yet how I could juggle with all my extremities all these things, in spite of my yoga know-how: being a the family breadwinner, working as a student coordinator, teaching regular, online, and co-curricular classes, attending masses, working out, practicing yoga, writing, cooking, and so many other things.
I could use some hyperboles now. Pleh
