25 Things:

1. my full name is ma. lourdes rosquillo eudela and i am named in honor of our parish patron, "our lady of lourdes".

2. i was baptized 10 days after birth, just in time for the feast day of our lady of lourdes.

3. when i was young i did not like to be called malou. i started using the nick when i attended the "rotary's boys and girls' week" where the name tag given to me was kinda' small in size that i have decided to write malou instead of lourdes. from then on, people started to call me by that name.

4. USA is one of the least countries i wanted to travel/visit or work to. maybe i do not have this "isoloveunclesam complex".(no offense meant here)

5. i used to feel and think that i'll die before i reach 18 years old. and that is why i am ever grateful to every added year there is beyond that age.

6. i am allergic to coffee. when i drink one, i palpitate and i feel dizzy. its aroma dozes me off.
however like people who do have phobias, exposure or to experience it, is the key to overcome those fears. with that, i also try to sip coffee when i get the chance.

7.i talk much, even much more than you can imagine. but i talk SENSE! at least i would want to believe that i talk with sense..well i do! don't you think?

8.in the university, i spent much time on extra-curricular activities than in curricular ones. i even teased others that i major in "extra-curricular activities". i maintained high grades though.

9. i only got line of "7" grade when i was an exchange student in korea. i got C+ in korean language. that was a ego-bruising-experience.

10.i have toyed the idea to become a nun and when i was a senior in high school, i even went to a monastery to discern about the vocation.

11. i have been bearing self-inflicted pressures for so long.

12. i am planning to visit vietnam and thailand soon. i am looking forward to meet fellow exchange students who live there.

13. my favorite number is 12.

14. sedruole_12 is my yahoo i.d. let me just share how it's derived, sedruol is what you get when you spell my name (lourdes) backwards, the "e" stands for the initial of my surname. then the 12 as i shared previously is my fave number.

15. i love to write. blogging keeps me sane. though i must admit that i sure need to learn a lot on how to write well :)

16. i really wanted to be a doctor so i did apply in a state university in iloilo and just when i am almost done with the requirements, my mom told me i am not going to pursue it. that time, my family is going through a hard time and thinking long term, mama was not confident that she can send me to medicine proper later on.

17. i believe that before i reach 25, i will have my own car. i will buy it from my OWN savings. with this being said, whew! i felt pressured..haha.. at present, it's just enough that i know how to drive.

18. i wanted to write a book at least before i die. i can feel it, i can!

19. it's my ardent dream to wok in United Nations, and i will someday. i will meet mr. kim chang-oh there. we have a pact on that. i am so excited to realize it.

20. i am a crybaby.. my tears are just shallow.

21. i fell in love with a gay and had crushes with some more gays.^^

22. i had an identity crisis when i was in high school. i am confused of my sexuality.. i wasn't sure if i really like men. later on, i have realized that it is all but a part of teenage years, especially that i went to an all-girls-school..chaka!

23. this is funny, when my ex asked me for a kiss i answered him to have it next time and i told him that the reason is.."i do not know how to kiss" haha (gosh~ i was told by a friend when i shared this with her that, i am stupid! and that it just happens before one knows it, no need to practice..haha)

24. last year was a humbling experience for me. there have been a lot of things i want to realize but did not happen. i was emotionally crushed by the fact that i did not get what i want. i feel like giving up but i am glad i did not.. i have pondered on the lot i have, actually i do not have the right to complain because i am just so damn lucky.

25. i am still praying for a good scholarship grant that will enable me to pursue post-grad studies.:)
i am keeping my fingers crossed on this one!


done at last..i hope you had great time reading.. well, just good time i guess, not really "great!"..hah
