25 random things.....
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
========
1. JP loves and swears fealty to Monster Radio RX 93.1. (that does not mean though that he disowns other radio shows / stations. i.e. he does visit Magic 89.9's Studio 2 @ Eastwood City if I could, and adores Tin Gamboa, CJ, Sarah (Supa Sarah), the Boys, Lellie and Kelly.)
2. JP has crushes on certain people in the radio industry (but he cannot divulge their identities for their own good.)
3. JP really loves his headset. As Rico Robles always says, he who always has an earphone on.
4. JP currently enjoys listening to the ESPN podcasts
5. JP is a frequent commenter at this website. He am proud to be one of its charter commenters.
6. JP is a Los Angeles Clipper fan. Yes, you can laugh at him now for the misery.
7. JP loves Madden's Franchise Mode. (He hates EA Sports for discontinuing their sports games on the PC.)
8. JP thinks of himself as a fan of OPM.
9. JP was started to be called JPooh when someone took a picture of him and a giant Pooh "statue" at the Mall of Asia after having dinner with the senior Sittizens. (It was the same night JT became the "Congressman")
10. JP is comfortable walking if he feels like walking. He also walks in the rain depends on his mood.
11. JP is known as the "unofficial RX papparazzi." Gelli coined that nickname. So, if you want a papparazzo to take pictures, let me know.
12. JP intends to get a DSLR camera by the time he is 35. He believes that photography will be his hobby of choice by then. He also believes that he will get married by the age of 30.
13. JP collects Playboy Philippines and Maxim Philippines. His logic for collecting is that it is easier to collect them than the iconic FHM. But he does buy the 100 Sexiest and the True Confessions Special Edition. Speaking of which, he needs to find the November and December editions of both Playboy and Maxim. Blame his state of bankruptcy from the time he left NuComm / Transcom until securing the full paycheck recently.
14. JP is an internet addict. He can spend the whole day at his PC. He already does that at the workplace.
15. JP loves Ateneo basketball. He even gets "sick" and schedules "vacations" to ensure attendance. He remembers the game he missed two years ago, and it was the Kirk-Long-shoots-the-gamewinner-game-against-UST.
16. JP owns a Canon Ixus 75 named Papi Deux and a Compaq CQ-40 series laptop named Hazel Monica Ann(a) Angelica. The laptop's nickname is Dell(e).
17. JP craves Footlongs and those "buy 1 take 1" cheeseburgers.
18. JP has a way with annoying people that it seems as though it is second nature.
19. JP can be a cheapskate, but if you can push the right buttons, he can be giving. He has a hard time saying "no."
20. JP has never ever had a girlfriend EVER. So please, do not make him feel miserable about his state of single-blessedness. Ladies have broken his heart a lot because they are no longer single or tell him that "hanggang friends lang kami"
21. JP is not comfortable watching movies alone, unless the ticket is free.
22. JP loves the Development Studies Program, even though his work has nothing to do with what he learned from the Program. He is also part of the Pioneer batch of graduates with a minor in History.
23. JP does not smoke and it will entail a huge effort to get me to drink.
24. JP thinks of himself as more hip-hop when it comes to style. He would rather wear shorts than jeans at work.
25. JP took a lot of time thinking about what to write for the whole note. He hopes that those he tagged, write about it as well.
