25 random things about me...

Here's the same list I have at Facebook. Allow me to share it with the whole world.

1. I'm probably the only person in the planet named Maxgene (one word).
2. I know I sing well. Stevie Wonder is a god.
3. Red, green, and black are my favorite colors.
4. I love watching movies.
5. Fernando Meirelles is my favorite director.
6. Some of my previous jobs: radio dj, news and feature writer for a local daily, car sales manager, speechwriter for city mayor, telemarketer selling platinum card, band singer, commercial/political jingle singer, junior instructor (for dos-based applications).
7. I love my dog, Kendra. She sleeps beside me.
8. I cried watching "Marley & Me". Embarrassing but true.
9. Rachel Weisz, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, and Robert Downey Jr are some of my favorite actors.
10. I excelled in Mathematics.
11. I have a grave, almost phobic, fear of cockroaches.
12. As a child, for 5 straight years, I would wake up to pee in the middle of the night, and I'd look at the wall clock and see that it would always be 3:00 AM on the dot!
13. One summer vacation at Tagudin, Ilocos Sur, I concocted a story: My father's aunt (my lola) just died. I told everyone that I saw her praying (kneeling position) under the langka tree at the ancestral house where we are vacationing then, wearing the exact clothes she wore when they buried her. Everyone believed me. Up to this day, I don't have the heart to tell them it was all fabricated.
14. Thank God for Coke Light!
15. I hate ostentatious display of stupidity.
16. Sarcasm is my best friend. I use it all the time to convey different messages of love, friendship, hatred, fun, or plain insult.
17. I sold cars, but never learned how to drive.
18. I am very competitive.
19. I'm a Christian.
20. I have recently re-acquired my passion for writing.
21. I used to dance better than I sang in elementary.
22. I'm currently a call center trainer.
23. I'm my own worst critic.
24. I want Slumdog Millionaire to win Best Picture, but will not be surprised if The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wins. The Academy Awards have always favored the "safe" and uncontroversial.
25. I'm ready for love.
