12. Brewed coffee serves as melatonin for me. So instead of drinking coffee in the morning to boost my day, I take it at night to sleep right away. On very rare occasions that I crave for coffee, I have to simultaneously drink it with iced tea for me to stay awake or suffer the dreadful consequence. In one of our seminars at Max’s, I couldn’t resist the aroma of freshly brewed coffee so I drank 1 cup. You can just imagine how startled I was when they woke me up after the last speaker!
13. I used to drink heavily before without getting drunk, they nicknamed me “embudo” (funnel). My favorite was Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch Whisky. One tine, we opened a 1L bottle after dinner. Before the roosters could crow at the break of dawn, my drinking buddy fell drunk on the floor so I was the one who finished his share until the bottle was completely empty. He was so ashamed he warned me not to squeal that he actually passed out during our drinking spree (hope he’s not reading this post hahahah . . .).
14. My idols were Wang Yu, Guy and Pip, Bruce Lee, Richard Gere, Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, Jude Law.
15. I was only 9 when I first fell in love with my classmate in Grade 3 who was a transferee from Iloilo. Ironically, I only got married at 39!
16. My Ex-Prince Charming was 12 years younger than me. Yup, I was a certified cradle snatcher! He didn’t believe me at first. He thought I was only joking when I told him my date of birth. I swear he was beyond shocked when he saw what I wrote on our Marriage Certificate form! I had a feeling then that he wanted to call the wedding off.
17. At 29, I excitedly knocked at the door of a convent and expressed my desire to be a nun. Without even letting me in, I was interviewed right then and there. After answering some basic questions, I was outrightly rejected when they learned I was an only child. The door was slammed at my bewildered face before I could even protest. Sigh.
