Eleven Random Facts About Me
- There’s something weird with my wrists that freaks people out. When you squeeze it, you’d feel like the bones in my wrists are crushing. But it doesn’t hurt. When I want to freak people out I ask them to squeeze my wrist.
- I’m leftie which I think is a bit special because only 10% of the world’s population is leftie haha!
- I hate math or basically anything with numbers.
- I have hemophobia, it means I’m terribly afraid of blood. Mice, spiders, worms, cockroahces, and basically every creepy crawlies out there can crawl over me just don’t get me near blood.
- I’m obssessed with the band Linkin Park. Like, a lot! Hopefully I can go to their concert here in Manila next month.
- I love anime. Once I travelled really far to attend this anime convention and meet my idol, Alodia Gosiengfiao. But lately I’ve been more focused on books and less on anime.
- I wish on 11:11 and Wishing Wells and falling stars.
- It’s my dream to see the Aurora Borealis.
- I have asthma and I’m allergic to chicken, egg and eggplant but I eat all of them.
- Once I deliberately overdosed myself on medicine. I had chicken pox then and my body was so itchy and I couldn’t scratch the blisters because it will scar and I was losing my mind and this medicine is supposed to lessen the itch if I took 10 ml. But it didn’t work so I drank half of the bottle, straight from the bottle!
- I don’t plan to have a pet ever again. Once we had a pet dog and she caught this illness and there was nothig we could do for her and I had to watch her die, it was awful! I didn’t want to leave her that time so I was… just there listening to her desperate breathing.. It was so painful I don’t want to be in that situation again so I vowed to myself never to have a pet again.
