History

Even when I was in school, History wasn't my thing. I'm not at all good with dates and places. The same is true with real life--I'm not at all adept in memorizing dates. I forget appointments, friends' birthdays, heck even my parents' birthdays and anniversary! Someone else, whether a sibling or a friend, has to remind me if there's a special occasion for that day. Furthermore, in my opinion, there's no point in stressing over the past. What's done is done, right? Although of course, I'm thankful for it. I wouldn't be what I am right now if not for my past.

Geography

Are you kidding?! I am what you call 'geographically challenged,' if there is such a thing. I couldn't even walk outside the 5-mile radius I imposed on myself without hopelessly getting lost. I suck at giving directions and sometimes I even have trouble identifying my left side from my right. Any friend of mine can attest to that. I have spent the first 16 years of my life in Marikina, under lock and key and my mom's eagle eyes and strict rules. I haven't had the pleasure of going to the mall and watching a movie until I was about 16 or 17. Nakawala lang ako when I went off to college and stayed in a dorm for about 2 or 3 years. But of course, I haven't seen any improvements in my geographical skills during that time. On the other hand, at least I know what Manila or Quiapo looked like and as far as I'm concerned, as long as I know how to get to Taft Avenue, I'm fine. Nakapunta na rin pala ako ng Batangas and my province is in Iloilo. I guess that's not so bad for someone like me (ha!). However, even though I'm hopelessly 'geographically challenged,' I would love to travel around the world.

Math

8 * 3 = my age (in one month's time); Weight = don't ask ; Height = 5'2"; Vital statistics = none of your gadem business; Having me as a friend = priceless (hehe)

Science

I love anatomy, especially neuroanatomy. I hate studying about the spinal tracts though. Gives me a headache just thinking about how they decussate and what levels would be affected if the spinal cord is injured. I also don't like memorizing hormones or enzymes or other stuff that I won't be needing in my career. Such a waste of time and neurons, if I might add.

Technology

I love gadgets although I think they consider me their doom. Di kasi sila tumatagal sa kin eh. Ewan ko ba kung anong meron ang kamay ko. Nakasira na ko ng camera, videocam, computer, printer, TV, DVD player, VCR, headphones (numerous times), and even a calculator. I should be buying insurance for them, I tell ya! Of course that doesn't stop me from daydreaming and oggling them nifty gadgets!

Music

I know how to play the piano but I can't say I enjoy playing it. I'm interested in playing the guitar or the violin but the funny thing is, I'm tone deaf. Current obsession = Vienna Teng + Dashboard Confessional + Jason Mraz + Our Lady Peace

Physical Education

I'm the girl who would get picked last in team games. I'm the girl who dreads PE classes. I'm the girl who hates wearing bathing suits. I'm the girl who doesn't care one bit about appearances. Needless to say, I think I'm one of those unfit people who absolutely detests PE. That's going to change though. I am now enrolled in a gym and I am trying real hard in choosing healthy foods (although sometimes I just couldn't help but reach for that last piece of chocolate cake). I know it's going to be one difficult journey but I'm going to face it and finish the race. At the end, I know it's going to be all worth it.

Finance

No job = No moolah therefore bankrupt. I love reading Robert Kiyosaki's principles on finance and I can't wait to put those principles into practice but heck, I gotta have some money first. I'm willing to learn everything there is to know about personal finance and real estate, however, I guess I have to wait a little bit more. Meanwhile, I'm still on the process of strengthening my financial literacy/education. Although sometimes studying about stock options, mortgages, and equities can be pretty boring.

Psychology

Self-diagnosed autistic and manic-depressive suffering from paranoia and obsessive-compulsiveness; Has low self-esteem and a bad case of inferiority complex; Been bullied so many times as a child but is not going to take anymore of that crap out of people; Realizes that it's time to stand up for herself because no one else is going to do it for her --> GO ME!

Humanities

I just got introduced in literature when I was in my later years of high school. Mommy ko kasi ayaw kaming ibili ng books. She's weird that way. Sometimes I regret not being exposed to books early in life. That's ok though. Being here in the US and having FREE access to thousands of books kinda makes up for that. I think I've read a lot of books far more than what I've read during my high school and college days.

Religion

Well, I used to think I was agnostic but I realized that's just silly. I guess I never really believed any of that. I'm praying at night now and I have a certain smile reserved just for Him who makes life bearable for me.
