5 Things You Don’t Know About Us January 22, 2007
Posted by Beej in Tags.add a comment
Here’s an interesting tag from Dioven. Oh, and make that six. 
1. Just like Dionne, I love carnival rides. But Benj (just like Jovs), hates them — because “he doesn’t get the point of riding one”.
2. We are office neighbors in UN Avenue in Manila (well, at least, until recently), but we never met each other until Dioven introduced us to each other.
3. I am scared of spiders. Benj has a phobia of dogs.
4. Benj didn’t learn how to swim until two years ago (a few weeks before we met each other). He was actually afraid of the water when he was little. I was a member of the UST swimming team.
5. I’m really not a fan of arcade and console games until I met Benj. Well, I’m not yet as addicted as he is, but I’m starting to like them.
6. My most common nicknames are Beej and Billie. Benjamin is called Benj by friends, and Benjie by family. Get it?
Now it’s your turn to reveal something to us:
5. You

Para fair.
How do you like your eggs?
Beej doesn’t eat the egg white, so she prefers scrambled.
How do you take your coffee/tea:
She used to like the Rhumba Frappuccino, but ever since Starbucks removed it from their menu, she’s still in limbo as to her favorite-favorite coffee. I think she prefers the Java Chip Frappuccino because of the similar texture. For tea, she loves the Chai Latte at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Passion Iced Tea at Starbucks.
Favorite breakfast foods:
She *says* she prefers oatmeal, but deep inside, she’d have pancakes at Pancake House everyday if she could.
Peanut butter:
Does Nutella count?
What kind of dressing on your salad?
Don’t know much about salads, but she prefers the Asian thingy over the Caesar thingy.
Coke or Pepsi?
She prefers Coke Light over Pepsi Max.
You’re feeling lazy. What do you make?
