Bababa ba?

Was tagged by Maki and by Lemuel. But wasn’t able to do it agad since it was the week of the blog disasters. Hahaha. And acads too!

Anyways. Here goes.

Rules:“Each person links to the person who tagged them. Then each person posts the rules before their list. Then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those people’s sites and comments and letting them know that they’ve been tagged, and to come read the post so they know what they have to do …”

1. I’ve been blogging for around 3 years. I started in May 2004. I was more of a blogger than my brother back then. Though he set his blog up earlier than mine, he never updated it until around a year after. I remember that he used to make fun of my older blog entries. Hahaha.

2. I used to love math when I was in grade school. The love lessened when I was in high school. Now that I’m in college, I somewhat abhor it. Hahahaha. Oh how I tried to love triple and double integrals, but they never loved me back.

3. I have 3 sets of high school PE shirts that I don’t want to give away to my sisters. In this house of ours, when you don’t use your school PE shirts anymore the girls use them as their pambahay. The color of the shirts that I don’t want to give away are: yellow (because it makes a nice pambahay), orange (because I like orange), and maroon (oh how I love the juxtaposition of the name “Ateneo” on maroon color).

4. I love kids, but not the bratty ones. Reading back on my old (locked) blog entries, I have always expressed my excitement whenever my sister-in-law was to give birth (and this year was no exception when the baby boy popped out, hehe). My Christian Service Program (CSP) site back in 2nd year high school was the Foundling Home in Boys’ Town. My playmate during my Banlaw immersion was an 8 year old kid. When I’m at Aya’s, I bond more with her brother than her (uh-oh, she might kill me for saying this).

5. I’m not much of a sleeper. My brother Vince can sleep up to 12 hours when he has the time. My Mom sleeps whenever she can. Me, when I wake up, I can’t sleep again. :| Like today, I slept at 330am, only to find myself awake at 10. It’s 1230, and Vince is, well, still asleep (and he slept earlier than I did!)

6. I am almost always invisible in Yahoo! Messenger, or sometimes just “busy” (see the small red dot?). It gives me a weird but satisfying feeling of “I see you but you don’t see me.” And it also gives me the liberty of choosing whom I can chat with. It’s a sucky feeling when one sends you an IM but you don’t get to reply.

7. The phrase “bababa ba?” only stuck to me back in the summer before 4th year high school. It was in our college entrance test review class when a teacher of ours mentioned how weird the Filipino language was as one could already make a sentence by repeating a single syllable, in this case, the syllable “ba.” Thus, “bababa ba?” And also a lot of people call me “ba,” instead of the “bee-ey,” kaya ayun.

8. I always hang out in Stat or the StatSoc tambayan even if one, I’m not a Stat major anymore, and two, I am not a member of StatSoc. Hahaha. I just love hanging out with these people.

There, I did it. :)

I tag…
