I guess that makes me IT, thanks Phisch. That's OK, my first blog post has been very long in coming anyway, so this makes for good motivation.

My random eight:

1. I work at a company that is all about motorcycling and motorcycle safety but I don't know how to ride, nor am I interested at all. One look at our So Cal freeways and you'll know exactly why. ScooterSchool, on the other hand, I find very interesting indeed (*envisions scenes from Roman Holiday and cute celadon hued Vespa with matching helmet*).

2. The last time I was on a motorcyle, I think I was only 6. My uncle rode a motorcycle and frequently shuttled my sister, brother and me (yes, all of us at the same time) to our grandparents house. I am still shocked to this day that my mother allowed such a thing. Then again, it was her bright idea to send Phisch and EG down the hill in their toy car (I'll let Phisch tell that story since I wasn't even born yet).

3. I've taken two ATV classes through my work, they were lots of fun. I could see myself ATVing, if my lifestyle and environment was conducive to it but I have no storage or money for it. I tried to get my nephew NM in a class, but they left for Austin so quickly I didn't get the class arranged soon enough. BTW, here's another random tip for you all which I found out too late. Any child in the state of CA (minimum age 6) can take our ATV class for FREE. I didn't even know that until after I tried to arrage a class for NM. You don't need to bring anything. Gear (helmets, gloves, boots) and ATVs are all supplied.

4. I have an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, for which I am very proud because my dad worked very hard to make sure we got a good education.

5. It took me 6 years to finish college, mainly because I wasn't prepared for life. I spent a year after high school languishing at home (I finally convinced my dad to let me go), two years in community college when I really should have gone straight to 4 year college. In fact, I could have shaved off a whole year (or more) of college with that IB diploma.

6. The street I grew on in the Philippines was Ortega, in the barangay of San Juan. I now live in San Juan Capistrano, Ortega highway being one of its main arteries.

7. I learned how to ride a bicycle all by myself.

8. I used to have a pet duck, and it won 1st place during Pet Day at my kindergarten.

Who can I tag? Nobody at this point. Everyone I would tag has already been tagged!
