7 Random Facts About Me (4/10)

1. I can make ice cream.
   Dad bought an ice cream maker a few years ago and I got hooked on making my own ice cream. I've done frozen yogurts as well. But the best ones are from recipes that call for eggs. To date, my best one is the chocolate chip cookie in coffee ice cream. ;)


2. I can play the violin.
   Had formal training every weekend of my life when I was 10 till I was 16 with the Pasaknungan Chamber Orchestra. We performed twice a year in the Cultural Center of the Philippines. We also appeared in two television shows: Concert at the Park and Paco Park Presents. I have 3 violins.


3. I own two guitars.
   One acoustic and the other is electric.


4. I started driving when I was 12.
   Dad taught me how to drive on weekends when we’d go to a nearby graveyard to jog. Back then we had a silver Mitsubishi Colt.


5. I’m physically and spiritually allergic to alcoholic drinks.


6. I've been interested in cars since I was a kid.
   More than Barbie dolls, I wanted one of the Transformers for Christmas. I also wanted to take up automotive shop as an elective class in high school in St. Scholastica's College, an exclusive school for girls. The problem is, such a class was only available in Don Bosco Makati, an exclusive school for boys. Four years later, St. Scholastica's started to offer automotive shop as an elective in cooperation with Don Bosco Makati.


7. I keep my two-foot long braid from my "braidwhip days" in a box.
