15 days to go till my birthday.

Crap.

Haha.

I'm turning 29.

Double crap.

Hehe.

Anyways, since I've been onto this trivia stuff a lot lately, I just felt like (again) posting 29 things about me that most people don't know of... yeah, whatever...

01. I sleep with five pillows -- one under my head, one at my feet, one at each side of me and one I hug. :-) It doesn't stop there... there are about a dozen stuffed dolls surrounding me. It's actually a wonder how I fit in my bed. Hehe.

02. I hate milk. I can never drink milk on its own. If it's mixed with coffee, it's alright. But pure milk? Blech. Tastes like rust.

03. When I was born, the doctor told my mom that she gave birth to a boy. After a while, the nurse came back and said they made a mistake, saying it was actually a girl she gave birth to (ME!) and what they thought to be a pe**s, was actually my umbilical cord. Weird, if you ask me. Haha. Sometimes I think I was switched at birth. Maybe I ought to find my real parents. LOL!

04. I grew up without my dad around. He wasn't there when I was born. He was barely there when I was growing up. Nope, I wasn't abandoned... it was just that he worked abroad. I was brought up by a nanny and there was a story she told me when I was young, that when my dad came home one time, I actually ran away from him because I thought he was a stranger.

05. I am AFRAID of cockroaches. I'd rather see a ghost than a cockroach. Especially those flying ones!?!?!?! Eeeeeew.

06. I hate shopping. I hate walking around for hours on end and looking around. Unless it's CDs, books, toys and techie stuff we're looking at, though. But normally, when I go to the store, I already know what to buy. Unlike most girls who, every week (everyday for some!) go to the shops, look around, then decide on what to buy on a whim. Most of the time they end up not buying anything. I feel it's such a waste of time. My friends tell me I'm like a guy when it comes to shopping because I go in the shop, buy whatever it is I want to buy then go out of the shop. :-)

07. Patience is a virtue... and I don't have it. When I really really want something, I have to have it right that moment. Like, when I ask someone a question... I have to have the answer at once. I hate it when the person has to think it over. Hate it big time!

08. I don't eat pickles. When I was a kid, I used to love it. But for some reason, I just began to hate it as I grew older. Can't stand the taste of pickles. Blech!

09. I almost got kidnapped. Summer of 1993. Long story... email me if you want to hear about it. Hehe.

10. I "dated" a pop star. Hahahaha! Well, we weren't really a couple... but we went out and hung out. It's something I'm not really proud of. I mean, he's gorgeous and all. But... la lang. It just feels... errr... cheap. Hehe. He's not really famous but he's somehow known... then. I don't think he sings anymore now. I don't really know. I haven't heard about him in years. He called me long distance a couple of years back, though... it was a short conversation... haven't heard from him since. Not that I really care! Hehehe.

11. I can't sleep with the lights off, except when I'm in my own room. So when I go out of town and stay at a hotel, all the lights have to be on. If I have a roommate and he/she prefers the lights off, we have to get into a compromise and leave the TV on. I don't really know why... I'm not exactly afraid of the dark. I ain't afraid of ghosts either. I just can't sleep without any light on.

12. I have this uncanny ability of finding things out without any effort at all. I dunno... information about things just come my way. Sometimes I don't even ask for it. But people just make me kwento or sometimes I see it for myself. Basta. It's hard to explain.

13. I am not strong. I appear to be -- being bitchy and all most of the time. But I really am not... strong, that is.

14. No matter what I say, I never really got over Rein.

15. I have been to hell and back. Go figure.

16. I am not on speaking terms with my mother -- haven't been for, like, 6 years.

17. I'm (sort of) afraid of clowns.

18. Although I had Barbie dolls when I was a kid, I never really enjoyed playing with them. I liked my robots and toy cars more. =)

19. I don't know how to swim. And I am terrified of the ocean.

20. I like pain.

21. I just noticed this recently... I don't drink a lot of water. Sometimes, I don't drink water at all in one day. Weird. Hehe.

22. When I was 10 years old, I saw myself die. I guess it was just a dream coz I'm still alive. Haha. But it seemed real.

23. I have a guardian angel and his name is Louis.

24. I am manic depressive.

25. I hate posers. Totally abhor them.

26. I never read the news. And I rarely watch it... unless there's something really sensational going on. I have never been interested in current events, that one influential broadcast journalist even told me before... and I quote: "You write good material and your credentials are impressive, but you're not cut out for broadcast journalism". Ack!

27. I once wished I was part of the 27 club... y'know... Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison... all dead at 27.

28. I was named after Jamie Summers, the character from Bionic Woman. Hehe. (Sidenote: I wonder if Buffy Summers is related to Jamie Summers? Hahaha)

29. I am a witch.
