Crimson Heavens

1. During my first flight out of the country, the airlines lost my luggage. What a hassle! I had to stay back inside for approximately an hour more than the rest of the passengers to finish whatever formalities that were needed to be done. Hubby (well, he was still my boyfriend back then), who took another flight to Bombay to pick me up just right after arriving to his home-state from Kuwait with his mother, was so worried and pissed off that he created such a racket in the airport. Airport security eventually allowed him to go inside the restricted area to look for me…I guess he got all bratty on them eh?

2. When I was in my last year in high school, I decided to take up Architecture in UP because my 2 best high school buddies (who are still my best buddies til now, if I may add) decided to take it. Jem, the first one, had some weird idea and decided to put Pre-Med in UP  as her first choice and Architecture her second, because, she said, since both are “quota courses” and it would be impossible for her to get into Pre-Med anyway, she would automatically get through Architecture…Well, she got through Pre-Med…and since she doesn’t want to be a doctor anyway, and she figured her DOST scholarship would be a waste, she decided to go to Ateneo instead. My second friend, Jolly, didn’t get through UP Diliman, but UP Baguio… I ended up taking Architecture (which, I didn’t really like), alone. Pooey.

3. I started learning a little bit of how to read and write Nihongo when I was in third year high school, took Japanese 10-11 as my elective class in college and had almost gone to Japan as a Japanese government scholar….well, “almost”…Now, I can still read/write the kana’s and a li’l bit of kanji, and I still understand some of the words and terms and all that but I cannot follow conversations anymore…What a pity!

4. ‘Til now, I still believe that I was a samurai in my pastlife.

5. When I was in my pre/early teens, I was waiting for something weird and magical to happen in my life. Probably because I was watching too much of anime then or wotever…

6. I am a hopeless-romantic at heart. I love happy endings and I believe that they really do happen, just that they don’t happen to some people.

7. I sometimes imagine how it would be to actually go shopping in those posh shops without looking at the price-tags, I actually know people who do that…they just get in one shop, point at things they want and then leave with an approximately P50K bill, minimum, worth of stuff…but moi? Crazy.
