Tagged!

I got tagged by queen! :)

 

The rule is I have to write 11 things about me.. It's the second time that I got tagged so I think I have to play it this time..

 

11 THINGS:

 

1. I prefer to be called Ruch instead of my real name because many people would misidentify me as a woman. I usually encounter it from people calling me on the phone without letting me to speak first. Later, they will tell me sorry for associating to my name the word 'Miss'.

 

2. In my work, I deal with things that cannot be seen directly (thanks to the inventor of oscilloscope) which is really ironic with my interest in photography, which deals with things that can be appreciated with the use of our visual sense.

 

3. I created a poem called the ASIC Engineer's Perspective of Love a year ago, a very corny (corny pa sa mais) poem that my teammates asked me to make. It is a 9 stanza poem, 4 lines per stanza that relates ASIC stuffs to love love (yeaaahhhh..). They asked me (again) to arrange it so they can sing it but I refused, reasoning that it cannot be played on radio.

 

4. I can make my ears move independently, up and down. I know that this is not unique to me but I am just happy I was able to learn it. I can sense that you are trying to make your ears move right now..hmmm...? :)

 

5. My favorite snack is noodle with egg and dip skyflakes crackers while the noodle soup is hot. The canteen crews know that..

 

6. I got addicted to guitars before getting addicted to photography. But I ain't rockstah. I prefer to play acoustic and classical music.

 

7. My all-time favorite album is Eric Clapton's Unplugged. I have a cassette tape of this album but never had a CD copy.

 

8. I prefer to stay home during weekends not until I became interested in photography. Now, if I cannot shoot during weekends, it will be a big conviction to myself that I will suffer the whole week 'coz I don't have something to edit and post during weekdays.

 

9. Before learning the basics of photography, I learned first how to use Photoshop using online resources. It was three months later that I started reading magazines, books and online resources that talks about photography.

 

10. I want to attend one of Steve McCurry's workshops and join him on one of his expeditions. His works amaze me, big time! A great photographer.

 

11. I am happy that "things about me" stuff was down to 11 from 16. Now, I only have to think ten (10) things instead of 16. ;)

 

 

Thanks and Enjoy Life!
