Random Fact No. 2 and 3

I used to be a Math geek. :)

Back in Grade 1, I was the gold medalist for our math contest. But before that, I was a bit clueless about mathematics. I wasn't able to add anything that needed to be carried over back when I was in Prep III. I know I shouldn't be remembering such things from my childhood but somehow I do remember a lot of things when I make mistakes. That would be my Random Fact No 3 - I learn best from my mistakes. But let me finish this one first. I still do like Mathematics and I still have my mental computing abilities intact. However, the path I've taken doesn't utilize Mathematics as much. Math is simply something that I can pass without studying. I can't speak the same for the advanced subjects like Calculus and Trigonometry. But in general, I'm good in Math. Not to mention, I'm Chinese. :))

I learn best from my mistakes.

Somehow, that's how I learn best. I can try to sit down and face the books and memorize whatever I can try but I swear I will not be able to absorb everything that I read. I need to make mistake in quizzes and then I will remember things. Just like how my teacher humiliated me because I was always perspiring and I have oily skin back in Prep II. I shall never forget that evil teacher Mrs. Zenaida Ona for calling me to the platform and citing me as an example of a very unhygienic child. I suppose she didn't learn how to be a good educator with that. I also cannot forget how my Prep III Chinese teacher also told me that I didn't deserve to be an honor student just because I fail her Chinese subjects and fly in the English subjects. I suppose these are the learned experiences that led me to become the opposite of who I was when I was a child. Wow, good insight. Bwahahaha! :))

Random Fact No. 1

I am a writer by heart. This is probably the first talent that I have developed. I knew that I have a knack for writing ever since I was in Grade 1. I can't really claim to be the best and I would readily announce it to people - that I am not the best. There are people far better than me but I'm a good or great one especially in campus journalism. I'm quite adept with the English and Filipino language and that really works to my advantage. So, there. I'm stating one of the obvious - my love for writing is intrinsic. Thus, the existence of this blog and the persistence of my devotion and passion to the craft. I suppose I can never really leave writing but I can choose where to write. :) Why? Well, that's going to be another random fact. :D

Random Facts About Me Series

I suddenly had this idea of doing a random fact about me series. I'll post some random facts about me just for fun. :)) Time to be a little self-absorbed and self-conceited just like a Plurk user who knows no other subject than himself. Yeah. If ever you are stalking me, then you'd probably be able to read this and get the message that you are actually irritating. But I'm turning the shit of having to deal with you into something great - an idea for writing. Who said all the inconvenient things or people in the world should remain as such? :))
