10 Random things about me:

1. I didn't go to my junior prom. Went to scout camp instead. I did attend my senior prom on Feb 14 - I was the only one who dared wear red and had to live with being teased with the song, "Lady in Red".

2. My secret dream since I was little was to be an astronaut.

3. Been tinkering around the kitchen since I was 8 or 9 - gelatin desserts, stove top popcorn, cookies, no-bake brownies and fried rice. Cooked my first actual main dish when I was 11 - a modified paella valenciana dish from a tomato sauce can label recipe. I picked my own ingredients from the wet market the help took me to.

4. I've only been to 2 countries outside Philippines. China, twice; and Singapore, once, where I lived and worked for 6 months and addicted to it.

5. I've never been formally employed since graduating college. A one-time foodstyling project nudged me into freelance work - styling, R&D, consultancy; which I love, but very stressful - need a career change!

6. I'm 26 and voting in the elections the first time. Last 2 elections, I was out of town and out of the country during the registration period, respectively.

7. I had mid-back long hair which I cut just last Sunday, on a whim with my sis, to this short, the front is only a bit longer.

8. I would love to meet actor Leonard Nimoy(Spock, Star Trek). I'm half Vulcan.

9. I love water, fresh warm soymilk and peanut butter(Treenie!!!). I'm slightly lactose-intolerant. I don't like wasabi, radish and mayonaise.

10. I have my own clubhouse sandwich special I put together when I was 9.

pile it in this order...

bread - white or wheat, lightly toasted
peanutbutter - preferably natural
banana slices
strawberry jam
bread
mayonnaise/mustard
scrambled egg
ham
ketchup
bread

slice diagonally and eat. very nice with a cold glass of ovaltine.
