Because three is a crowd, and a crowd is good.

Like I always say: when in doubt, waste time. And because I've been tagged. La-di-dah!

THREE NAMES THAT YOU GO BY:
  1. Drey/Drea
  2. Andrea (when the parents are mad; and in Japan, actually. Did you know that Dorei in Japanese means slave? Dorei-mon is actually the Japanese-Engrish for Slave Mon-ster! Ha! And you thought he was a cute robot cat.)
  3. Inday (Haha!)
THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU'VE HAD, INCLUDING THE ONE YOU USE NOW:
  1. Dreyers. Yes, the ice cream.
  2. sevenfloors. Why? That's when and where it all started, I think.
  3. Dreydlocks. Because I've always wanted them.
THREE THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF:
  1. My face.
  2. I try to be more honest, everyday. Especially with myself.
  3. I jump and ask questions later more often than not.
THREE THINGS YOU DISLIKE ABOUT YOURSELF:
  1. My hips.
  2. I look much nicer than I really am. I'm too polite.
  3. I jump and ask questions later more often than not.
THREE PARTS OF YOUR HERITAGE:
  1. The "Indian" look that comes from being three quarters Filipino and one quarter Spanish.
  2. My Filipino grampa is a small-town farmer who, through sheer hard work (and a cold and hard heart), sent all his seven kids to college.
  3. My Spanish grandfather was an alcoholic and unbelievably promiscuous. It was rumored that he beat my Lola. He was a good-looking SOB, though.
THREE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU:
  1. Spiders.
  2. Breaking bones.
  3. I can swim, but I get panic attacks when my feet can't touch the bottom. Leftover trauma from when I fell off a moving pump boat in Guimaras when I was 12. It felt like I sank 20 feet without touching the bottom: It was dark and the sun a pale yellow overhead like a scene from Baywatch. I had to kick to the surface and swim to shore by myself (no Hasselhoff!). I had Jaws nightmares for a week after, complete with the ominous score.
THREE OF YOUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS:
  1. Glasses/Contacts.
  2. Coffee and cigarettes. Sad but true.
  3. Food.
THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW:
  1. A tanktop.
  2. Shorts.
  3. Glasses.
THREE NEW THINGS YOU WANT TO TRY IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS:
  1. Running. Seriously, and for good. Again.
  2. Learn Spanish and improve on my Japanese.
  3. Oh! Start my MA in Literature! Yey!
THREE EQUALS TWO LIES PLUS A TRUTH:
  1. I've been mistaken for a prostitute.
  2. I've been a prostitute.
  3. I've been with a prostitute.
THREE THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T DO:
  1. Wiggle my ears.
  2. Be inexcusably rude and magnificently angry in public.
  3. Kill myself.
THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES:
  1. Reading.
  2. Drinking coffee, smoking, doing nothing and people-watching, or having great conversations with friends.
  3. I really like to wrap presents. Pretty good at it, too.
THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO REALLY BADLY RIGHT NOW:
  1. Get a massage.
  2. Write, write, write. I haven't written nor re-written anything since I went back home. Grrr.
  3. Get laid. Seriously.
THREE CAREERS YOU'RE CONSIDERING:
  1. Poetry.
  2. Teaching. This is my calling, I think.
  3. Triathlon. No kidding. Couple of years back I used to train. Before laziness took over.
THREE PLACES YOU WANT TO GO ON VACATION:
  1. Alicante; visit my Great Aunt Ito who's really old and alone in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and a broken hip.
  2. New York and live it up, ala Sex and the City.
  3. Palawan or Batanes. Because I've never been.
THREE TRUE LOVES:
  1. Banana splits.
  2. Thunderstorms.
  3. The smell of brown paper bags, especially if they hold hot bread. Or the smell of books.
THREE FAVORITE ANIMALS:
  1. Reptiles. Don't ask me why.
  2. Our ugly but adorable mutt, Pudjot.
  3. Lions, tigers and bears. Oh my!
THREE REASONS WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS SURVEY:
  1. Because there are more important things to do.
  2. Every blog needs a good survey, now and again.
  3. Because I love Bazooka and I'm disappointed to find that, not only is it 3/5 the orginal size, but the comics (and fortune!) has been removed from its current packaging! Oh, the things that happen in the world today!
THREE PEOPLE WHO MUST TAKE THIS QUIZ:
  1. Anybody who feels like it.
  2. Anybody who's as bored as me.
  3. Anybody who's got more important stuff to do.
THREE WORDS:
  1. Isn't
  2. this
  3. fun?
