Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it is because I want to know more about you.

1. When choosing between two evils, I choose the one I haven't tried before ;)

2. One of my travel goals is to visit at least one new city every year.

3. One of these days I'm just gonna quit my job and bum around for a year and travel.

4. I'm spur of the moment, I don't like planning, it's easier to invite me for something tonight than to invite me for something next month.

5. When I'm disappointed, I go outside and walk until the world feels better again.

6. Sometimes I'm a walking contradiction, I probably have multiple personalities :).

7. I hate routine, I get antsy or go crazy when I'm doing the same thing over and over or when I'm always with the same people.

8. I've always wanted to be a writer and publish my work.

9. I cook when I'm sad, I like cooking better than eating.

10. When I like a song, I listen to it on repeat for at least a month until I start hating it and then I don't listen to it anymore, I'm the same with gadgets.

11. I'm good at beginnings, I like starting things, then I usually abandon them in the middle.

12. I like winter and snow storms.

13. I don't value things as much as I used to, I used to be more careful with stuff, I don't like scratches or dents and dings, now I don't really care anymore, imperfection just adds character.

14. I like the feeling of missing people, I would rather miss people than get tired of them and start taking them for granted.

15. My favorite colors are black and white and grey and blue and lilac.

16. I want to have a siberian husky.

17. It's hard for me to sit still and grow roots, sometimes I just want to run away to a new place where noone knows my name, and start from scratch.

18. Three things I like in this world: travel, writing and mathematics, not in that order.

19. I like flying, and falling, I want to fly an airplane, or try skydiving one of these days.

20. I miss university. I like being in school, it's so easy being a student, you just study and you get allowance, now you have to work for everything.

21. I have the classic peter pan syndrome, I don't wanna grow up and be responsible.

22. When I go home to an empty house at night, I miss my family, I miss speaking in Tagalog, I miss my people, I miss my country.

23. There is no object that I value that much in this life that I'm gonna be really sad when I lose it.

24. I'm not afraid of death or dying, it's the painful suffering before the end that sucks

25. I unintentionally drive people crazy just by being me.

boston was a blast, met up with zet whom i haven't seen in 5 years - has it really been that long? it didn't feel like it though since there wasn't really much to catch up on coz we exchange emails almost every other day anyway. we took a stroll along harvard square and mit campus until we felt nostalgic about our own university, so we decided to drive off at 6 in the morning to the city that never sleeps: new york. we visited all the places i missed last time i went there as well as the usual stops - the financial district, ground zero, and times square. it was march and yet still freezing cold at liberty island, which is probably why it was so easy to get ferry tickets this time. snow caught up with us as we tried to jog at central park and on the way back to massachusetts it became a full blown snow storm.

warm and dry back in cambridge, i realized this would be one of the last if not the last trip we'll ever take together before she turns another chapter in her book. we used to go island hopping in the visayas, and did spur-of-the-moment-escape-the-valentine-crowd roadtrips in luzon with ri and the rest of the gang back when everyone were still unattached. those days seem like a whole other lifetime now and i am awed at how the world and my friends have changed a lot in the span of half a decade.

my cubemates now reside in different continents and have accomplished a lot since those ne tools days of mfc and sourcesafe. it's amazing how much each of us have grown to be who we are today, esentially the same fresh grads but much more polished and a little less idealistic. i'm excited to see what the future holds and yet at the same time afraid that i might become what i have always hoped not to be..

but there's no use worrying too much, tomorrow will take care of itself, for now march main event is announcement of bells ringing for my fave cousin kat, and bday celebs for kuya, zet and stellah,. best wishes and maligayang bati are in order ^_^
