6 Random Things Bout Me
12 Comments September 26, 2006 1822 Views
Was tagged by Jhay several days ago. This type of meme is kinda hard to do coz you really have to think bout it. Anyways, here are 6 things that I came up with.
1. I love chocolate. I love eating anything chocolate. Anything from cakes to cookies to ice cream. I eat and would eat anything chocolate or has chocolate in it. If I couldn’t find chocolate bars like Snickers or Hershey’s, I would go to the fridge and look for the chocolate chips that’s supposed to be used for baking. If Jughead in Archie Comics has hamburger sauce as his blood type, I would definitely have chocolate as my blood type. Hehe
2. I was named after my 2 grandfathers. Everybody knows and calls me Jaypee or JP but my real name is John Philip. My dad’s father’s name is Juan and that’s the Filipino and Spanish version of John so no need to explain that. Next, my mother’s father’s name is Felix, and my parents decided to change it to Philip which somewhat sounds like Felix.
3. I love shoes. One thing I buy when I have money is a new pair of shoes. I dunno how this fascination with shoes started. Whenever I go to the mall or any shopping center, I would always visit a shoe store. One of my favorite tv shows is MTV Cribs and my favorite portion of the show is when the celebrity shows off his shoe or sneaker collection.
4. I have aquaphobia. It’s not completely the fear of water, but the fear of drowning. I do know how to swim but not that good to be able to survive if I was stranded in the open sea. I am completely terrified of the thought of being stranded out in the deep ocean.
5. I walk faster than the average person. This one is similar to Jhay’s #4 entry. I got this from my dad. When I was a little kid, I remember seeing my dad walk so fast and most of the time he would be walking ahead of me and my mom. So as time passed by, I tried to walk faster and keep up with him. Later on, it became a normal thing for me and so now I walked faster. This helps a lot especially when you’re late for class. Coz when you walk faster, it means that you’re pace is triple the normal walking pace of other people.
6. I love basketball. Not only do I love watching basketball games on TV, but I really love playing the game. I learned how to play football/soccer and tennis before learning to play basketball, but I shifted to basketball coz all of my friends played it. I’ve had so many basketball related injuries. Sprained fingers, wrists, elbows and ankles were the common ones. My parents have been trying to convince me to stop playing it and shift to a non-contact sport like tennis but I really enjoy playing basketball. It’s hard to explain but if you love the game, you know how it feels.

hey you! Thanks for the TAG!
My mother has aquaphobia too like you. Well, yeah, she has a fear of drowning so whenever we go to a pool or a river or beach or whatever, you can count her out. She refuses to get in the water.

@ana - ei, that was fast! hehe.. you’re welcome. the phobia doesn’t stop me from going to the pool, river or beach. what i’m really afraid of is the deep sea.
i just finished installing ubuntu on my laptop.
be proud to be the first website I visit using ubuntu
dumaan ako. eheh
join ka sa masskara! aheheheheh i went to the negros trade fair last night. nag enjoy ako sa inasal, though, double ang price kaysa bacolod. pero its still the same inasal ive been craving for the longest time already ehehe
I’m also a bit scared of swimming in deep waters, especially if I can’t see the bottom. Just scary, feels like something is going to come up and grab you or swallow you alive or something. But I love to swim, and I prefer swimming in the sea than in the pool.
@ Jim: Glad to have you aboard the Ubuntu side.
@jim - i’m honored to have you visit my blog especially using ubuntu. hehe
@eric - i wish i could. oh man, you’re just making me envious and make my mouth water for that chicken inasal. if they make it like the original inasal then it’s worth every penny.
@jhay - same here. i guess watching those movies like Jaws have something to do with it, right? i also prefer goin to the beach than a swimming pool.
Who isn’t afraid of drowning? Isn’t it called hydrophobia? I walk fast too.
@leon - yeah i know. but for me, it’s like when i’m swimming in open water. i have the thought of drowning lingering in my head. hydrophobia can also be used, but the correct term is aquaphobia.
Me loves chocolates, too! Oh, and shoes!
@dre - hehe..pareho pala tayo eh.
Hi guys! I also like inasal so much. I got that from eating at Bacolod Chicken Inasal.
@Anne - Hello! Which Bacolod Chicken Inasal branch did you go to? Is it in Bacolod or in Manila? Thanks for dropping by!
