Wanted: sense of taste

Well, I've been suffering(yes, suffering) from sever colds for the past few days. I don't feel comfortable especially in school. It's like every 30 seconds I have to get my towel to blow my nose. I cough, I've lost my sense of smell, I get dizzy at random times, and worst of all, I've lost my sense of taste!
 It just so happened that in these past few days, my dad decided to make delicious treats and snacks. There was fried chicken, my dad's famous homemade burger, coleslaw and my dad's patented corned beef recipe, all of which I would have really really loved to tasted. I had no choice (and still have no choice) but to just put the food in my mouth, chew, and swallow to get it over with. But I could tell they tasted good because, well, my sisters kept repeating the line "Mmmmm.. Kuya Pao, ang sarap! Sayang ka! Bleeh!" Being ME, well, I was just so envious. I couldn't taste anything that I was putting in my mouth and I couldn't do anything about it. This has to end and end soon or I think I'll go crazy.
And this is the story (well, parts of the story) of the time when I got colds.

I heard my dad and some of his friends singing this while his brother(my uncle) was playing the guitar the other night. I didn't know the song but it sounded great. When I asked what the song was, my uncle just said, "Dito nagsimula ang lahat." (This is where it all began).

to start things off

Let's start this off with a get-to-know me thing.

Here are the first 10 random facts about me that came to me while I was writing this:

1. My name is Paolo Ervin Perez and I DO NOT want to be called "Pach" (school thing). Not at all.

2. I consider food as one of the three most important things in my life. The other two being the people who surround me and the way I treat them.

3. I love the taste of fried garlic. Although I get a terrible case of the bad breath, it doesn't matter. They taste GOOOOOD.

4. Although I'm not very good at it, I enjoy playing basketball. I'm a huge LeBron fan but I'm not that big a fan of "The Decision" to leave Cleveland.

5. Even when I have problems, I just smile. I make sure others don't get affected  by my personal problems.

6. I LOVE to play the guitar. Rock rules(for me)! Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, these are some of my all time favorite bands.

7. I am absolutely terrified of clowns. There's something about them that's just so creepy...

8. I really, really, REALLY wanted to be an astronaut.

9. I cried (yes. I, Paolo Perez, cried) when my pet dog Chaos (weird name for a dog, huh?) died.

10. My favorite number is 10.
