My name is T.  I am the middle child (second-born in a brood of 6, that's still middle, although a little off-center).  I was born on a Tuesday morning, in Quezon City, Philippines.  I have a strong sense of smell.

I speak English and Tagalog (Filipino), and have studied Aklanon (don't ask me why, I just did) and Français.  I know there is no direct Aklanon translation for the word "welcome," but I don't think anyone is interested.  I am currently studying Korean (Hangul) and Japanese (Nihonggo).

I like chicken (eating, not raising, them) and Spam® (Less Salty Formula).  I also like tofu, macha, Japanese rice and dried bonito topping on Japanese rice.  I love soy sauce.

In college, I took five (5) PE subjects: Stretching (2.25), Running for Fitness (4.0), (I was given that grade after my professor saw me walking instead of running), Weight Training (2.25), Bowling (2.25), and Sportclimbing (2.25).  

I am a Taurean sheep (which makes me half-cow, half-sheep, yes) and have type A+ blood.  I read palms, but don't do it often as it's very draining.  People always come to me to tell me their problems, for some reason.  That is also very draining and I require plenty of sleep after socializing (yes, I'm an introvert, whether or not you believe it).

I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease in 2009 and that explains the sudden bouts of crabbiness.  I don't know how to swim and have actually drowned twice in swimming pools (fail haha).

I studied 19th Century Western Art to satisfy the 12-unit Language / Arts / Social Sciences requirement for my course.  Until now, my college adviser doesn't understand why I did...but at least I know who Ingres is.

I hate saliva and water with floating bubbles of saliva.  I find it annoying if I see someone picking their nose in public. I'm allergic to alcohol (rhum, in particular) and have a strong fear of religious icons, especially the Sto. Niño.

Red is my favorite color.
