Seven random things and a Happy Anniversary… to me!

I totally forgot this… But it’s my second anniversary as a blogger! I first blogged for b5media on May 2, 2006 at Filipina Soul. And unknown to me at that time, this really was a fresh start.

Ruth tagged me, it’s been quite a while now, but hey, I thought this is the perfect time to answer, so you get to know a little more about me on this second anniversary.

Seven Random Things about me:

1. I read almost all fiction books at my elementary school library before I finished 6th grade. 
2. My maiden name is Portuguese in origin, and my Italian friend told me I do look like them.
3. I hiked up a mountain three times, rappelled down ravines when I was a teenager, and flew in a C130 cockpit once. Now I hate heights.
4. Writing is something I’ve always wanted to do. I was a Journalism major in college for a short while, until science (biology and genetics) took the better of me. Now I’m back to my first career.
5. I love chocolates! And I dream in “Amedei“.
6. I’ve been mentoring teen and tweens since I was a teenager.
7. My third toe is longer than my big toe.

LOL!!!
