There is a special place in hell reserved for people who send text quotes and chain mail. Ahh but what is a blogger to do when tagged? This one is for John.

1. I used to be a teacher and a DJ.  A lifetime ago, before I became a wedding videographer, my first career was that of a teacher. I used to teach video and radio production to college students in Sacred Heart College - Lucena City and Saint Paul Manila. I had the most wonderful five years in this noble profession. (the profession is noble, I wasn’t). I also moonlighted as a radio announcer in a couple of local fm stations. Now that was a LOT of fun. While at it, I found out for real that radio stations rig ALL their contests for the benefit of their employees and their girlfriends. How else was I supposed to watch Michael Jackson?

2. I have curly hair.  Not the cutesy locks that Tom Welling has.  But a BIG BAD-ASS afro that would put Jimi Hendrix’s to shame.  The little said about this topic the better it is for everyone. So now you understand why my hair is kept to a mimimum now.

3. I used to be in theater.  I used to be very active in theater work in college.  I was a member of Entablado, a progressive street theater organization.  I acted, wrote and directed some.  Oh, I used to dance too.  They actually produced a dance drama based on my ability to do the roger rabbit. 

Unfortunately, something happened along the way and now I cannot dance to save my life.  Perhaps I realized I look silly dancing.  Embarassment is something one tends to acquire when aging.

4. I don’t drive.  Never had the chance to learn when I was growing up because we didn’t have a car to begin with.  When I finally could one of my own I was too lazy to learn.  Besides, I have one of the finest chaffeurs around - my wife. 

5. I married my student.  But hey I’m not a gazillion years older than her.  We got together after the sem and in no way did it influence my grade giving.  Promise!
