Today marks my 27th existence. And before I get any older by times, I would like to share 27 facts about me. So without further adue, (Hahaha) let's start.
27 Facts about me :)
1. I am an out and proud gay. The moment you look at me, you can definitely tell I'm gay base on how I talk, how I move and how I act. I am not a cross-dresser though. I just found myself comfortably in a more masculine get-up rather than being girly. I wear shorts and shirts as simply as I can. Yet, I wear short shorts and loose shirts when I'm at home.
2. I feel more comfortable with guys rather than gays. Well, honestly speaking; I have finite gay friends. Can only be counted with fingers. They are the ones who I casually get into with. Some are high school friends, some are relatives, others are neighbors and some are just name friends. Yet, if I were to choose who to be with in my most comfy gestures; I would rather choose guys. I dunno. I just feel more open to guys. Not to mention that I'm gay and it's an advantage, no. It's a matter of who and what you are as a friend. (Palusot???)
3. I love to write poems. Not so obvious, my blogs are about my poems. (Lol) Yeah, it's my catharsis. Whenever I'm in deep emotions, a pen and paper is always my expression. One reason is because I'm an introvert kind of person. So I'd rather write than talk.
(This is one of my pieces. I write this for his birthday)
4. I rather read books than watch movies. Yeah. Between the two, I chose the first. I just don't find watching movie interesting. I watch movie though; I prefer to visualize my own concept of the story by reading it. I prefer to be the director of my own movie. Something like that.
5. I super hate Raddish. Whenever my mom would side dish a raddish, it loses my appetite. Like from the smell down to how it tasted; it sucks. I tried a bite and chewing it sometime, but damn, I really can't. Just put all the vegetables on the table but not the raddish.
6. I don't know how to order in a fast-food chain.
Hell yeah! Sounds funny but true. (Lol) I can't even find myself alone eating in any fast-food chain in the world for that reason. I don't even choose to put eating in a food chain an option anyhow. Whenever I find myself inside any fast-food chain, (that's because I have company who choose to eat there and such) they do the taking-order step and I just do the finding table and chairs step. (Lmao)
7. I'm a smoker and a casual drinker. I started smoking at the age of 19. That's when I was in college. I started to drink alcohols when I was 16. Three years younger than I started smoking. It's the peer pressure that urged me to do so. (Palusot) Well anyways, somehow, whether it's peer pressure or not; "curiosity kills." Now, I smoke only a maximum of 4 sticks a day. Yes, that's right. I'm not a chain-smoker. And I drink casually. That if I have money then. Hahahaha!
8. I only eat a perfect three-meal a day. Before, back when I was in college, I don't eat breakfast. But when I started working, I started practicing eating breakfast. For the reason that my mom is constantly nagging at me. And yes, I only eat thrice a day. No between meals. Thus, there is always an exemption. In the office, we have snack time. If I feel like eating and it interests my taste buds, it's then the exemption comes in. But usually, I really don't eat between meals.
9. I am a teacher but chose not to teach.
(Ganda lang diba?) This was my photo during our year-book pictorial. Yes, I graduated with a degree in Bacherlor of Secondary Education major in English. I took up my licensure exam in 2012. I passed actually. I just didn't get lucky during my first year in teaching. It seemed like an unwelcoming ambiance all along. That is why, I shifted career. Anyhow, my interest is with the office jobs really since then. Now that given the chance; I grabbed the opportunity. Not as well-rounded as teachers, I still found myself productive enough to help and give back to my parents. And that is the most important and the target point of any individual.
10. I'm not a "techy" individual. I'm not really a techy individual. I don't use much gadgets. (I can't afford them anyways. Hahaha) I don't even use my phone as often. Only to check my messages and play a couple of games. As simple as that.
11. I super love spaghetti. Why in the earth I so love spaghetti? I rather choose spaghetti than any other food on the table. Not exactly as you thought. Lol! Let say, I eat first spaghetti before eating any other food on the table. (Oh, na paraphrase na.) And I can just eat spaghetti to substitute my 3 meals a day. Not to an extent of eating it everyday though. A bit of suspense is highly recommended. (Nakakaumay din kaya pag araw-araw.)
12. I rather text than call. Honestly speaking, I feel so annoy whenever I hear my phone ringing. I only answer calls when my mom or dad's calling. Or one of my siblings. But when anybody else's calling, even I don't have much to do and swiping it is just the least I could do; I rather put it down and let it keep ringing. I really don't feel like talking on phones. Even in personal that is. I would rather reply to a text than answering a call. I am so sorry but that's a fact. Lmao!!!
13. I rather choose straight than bis and homos. (Rated SPG) He's not my boyfriend okay? He's just one of my examples of straight. Yeah, this guy is straight and I am more attractive to a straight guy than to a bisexual or another gay. I dunno. I feel like it dimishes my state of being gay. I consider myself a straight gay. (Haha, don't know if it exists.) And having sex with a straight guy is more interesting than having it with bis and homos who do what you does in the process. Like ammmmmfffff... Duhhhh... One thing is for real; I'm not closing doors though.
14. Fave foreign TV Series is "The Vampire Diaries."
Like the moment I've seen it; I was hooked. Maybe it's because of my strong belief that vampires nowadays do really exist or I just like the story of vampires. I don't know really. One thing also are the characters; their shifting personality to being humane and then suddenly becoming a heartless vampires. The portrayal is so freaking amazing. (Am I exactly saying the right words? :)
15. I can hardly sleep in other people's houses. I am a kind of individual who sleeps only on my bed. Inevitable situations exist though; it's a chaos for me. When I'm at other people's houses either relatives or friends, I really have a hard time sleeping. Maybe because I feel uncomfortable or I just feel more comfortable when I'm on my own bed. Either way.
16. I am not a soft drinks man. Occasionally, of course I drink soda. But if I were to choose between water and soft drinks, I rather pick up the water. There are just people I know that soft drinks are their way of satisfaction for meal. In my case, I'm already satisfied with water whether cold or lukewarm. It's enough.
17. I don't have "bestfriend" but I have "bestfriends-cousins.
(Our latest photo of 2018. Taken during the 1st day of January 2018. When we celebrated the New year's eve at Panabo.)
Check out my first blog. You will know who these are. And yes, they're my besfriends-cousins. We are cousins by blood, bestfriends by choice. Even we are parted by time because they're having their own built family, we still see to it that distance and unspoken words are not our foes. They are just funny to be with. Whatever comes out from our head, we eventually put it to gestures. I love them so much and I hope they too love me so much as well. (Not sure about that. Lol)
18-19. I don't play sports and I can't play instruments. Blah blah blah. I'm not really sporty not even a music enthusiast. I sing though and play badminton. But only for fun. Not really a man of sports and music. It's not even a hobby to consider for me. Well, it's me.
20. I have not been into serious relationship. One, two, three, four ... Yes, four relationshits? I don't know how'd you call that. Two of it are just relationtext and the other two are relationsex. And I didn't really consider those a "relationship." Please, it's really not. In my 27 years of existence, I really long for a serious relationship. The one I can call "I'm being loved." Not because of mutual benefits we both can get but because we love each other. Just like that. It's the only thing I really want now. I long for love. To you my future boyfriend, I'm ready. :)
21. I can live a month without a phone. Believe it or not, I can. I can totally remote myself to a world of no phone. Well, If only can. There are really emergencies you don't expect would exist. It's an exemption. But really, I can live without it.
22. Fave number is ...
The photo says it all. Well, I'm born in this number. So, there's no reason for me to not like it at all. Aside from that, I like 14 as well. But that's gone now. Twenty-two is forever love.
23. I rather be quiet than speak. Most of the time, I'm really quiet even I'm in a circle of friends. If not being poke to speak, I would rather be still and say nothing. Especially when I'm in a new environment of people; I really don't speak unless I'm asked. It's a gesture of respect though. Three or four years ago, I usually find myself alone especially at night. I had this place where I go and sit on the rock and just viewing the scenic capture of Davao City from Samal where you can only see millions of lights. And then I'm relieve from any stress and anything that bothers me that day.
24. I still live with my parents.
(My greatest Love. My parents)
At 27th, I am the only sibling that live with my parents. Our eldest is in Manila and the second eldest is in Panabo. My brother before me died last 2015. I'm the youngest. Well, it's not really that lonely being the only sibling with them. Sometimes, my brother's (the one who died) sons and daughter are there to make my parents busy. They're still at the early childhood stages, therefore they're lolo and lola would still look after of their gestures. That's make them busy at the moment since every day, I'm at work.
