Ten Pointless Facts About Me

A few days ago I read Kev’s post on ten pointless facts about him, and just now I saw Manuel’s come by. Considering today’s my birthday, I thought it would be fun to join the challenge and also share 10 pointless facts about myself.

Do you floss your teeth?

Yes, I floss my teeth every day.

Tea, coffee, or water?

I usually start my day with a flat white prepared with my espresso machine. Later on in the day, I might drink another (filter) coffee, or go more into the teas. In general, I also try to stay well hydrated and drink water the whole day.

Footwear preference?

I’m not sure if I have strong preferences in terms of shoes. Inside, I walk with just socks on, so… no shoes. Outside, I mostly wear sneakers, but I’ve recently got some zero-drop shoes which I’ve been trying to get used to.

Favorite dessert?

I really enjoy Arroz Doce 🍚, which is a Portuguese rice pudding. It’s probably one of my favorites, but there’s many others: Bolo de Bolacha, Pastel de Nata, etc.

The first thing you do when you wake up?

Get up and go to the toilet and wash my face.

Age you’d like to stick at?

I just turned 26, so it’s hard to say. I would say now, but who knows.

How many hats do you own?

Let me go count them… 80 years later. I seem to have 8 hats and a few beanies. The important part is that I don’t wear most of them. I got them at some point at some event, and stuck to them. I mostly switch between two hats.

Describe the last photo you took?

This morning I took a photo of the latte art on the flat white I made. I was a bit proud of it.

Worst TV show?

Can’t say. Probably just wiped out of my memory.

As a child, what was your aspiration for adulthood?

I wanted to “do something with computers”. And look, now I’m working as a software engineer, so I think that one worked out okay.
