Know Me: I Am A Filipino

  1. My meals always come with a bowl of white rice.

  2. - No carbs substitutes are allowed.

  3. My feet are most comfortable when I'm wearing flip-flops.

  4. - That's why you can't help but stare at my overly exposed dark toes.

  5. If it's raining and I'm looking up to the sky, I could drown through my nose.

  6. - If there's anything I need to protect with an umbrella, it's my nose.

  7. I have to wear my underwear when I take showers (indoors).

  8. - I was raised in a very conservative family, remember?

  9. I love the beach, but I hate the sun.

  10. - You'll never see me in skimpy outfits, instead I'll be happily hiding under a huge towel while I stroll along the beach under the searing heat of the sun or I may be somewhere else taking solace from the sun's heat under the shade of a tree.

  11. To say that I love chocolates, is a humongous lie.

  12. - I don't have a sweet tooth. Actually, that's my biggest secret to keeping myself thin.

  13. I love dried fish, that's one big truth.

  14. - Everytime I cook it, the neighbors couldn't leave their windows open. Hmmm...I wonder why.

  15. My idea of an afternoon siesta is gossiping with my neighbors.

  16. - It's more meaningful if my neighbors are all seated along the sidewalk with me.

  17. Text messaging is my biggest preoccupation.

  18. - I love the idea of unlimited text messaging.

  19. To me, a cellphone is as essential as my food, my clothing and my education.

  20. - Yup, in fact I spend my allowance mostly on reloading my cellphone rather than on snacking, or buying my other essentials.

    P.S. The one activity that I always partake in, is SIM-swapping at the mall. (That's the reason why you can no longer reach me using my old cell number. I'll text my new number to you later.)
