My age is a terrible thing to be. I think we're all having existential crises.
What's an instant romantic dealbreaker for you?
Shallow or stupid. Is that mean? Hahaha.
Would you date yourself if you were someone else?
Maybe :)) It depends on what kind of person I am?
What do you think was the most significant news story of the year?
Define significant?If it's heavily impacting, I'd say the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda. Those stories give me hope.
what's your "I has a sad" song?
It depends on my sad :(
What do you think was the best movie of the year?
Catching Fire!! :)
What is the best news you could hear right now?
A sure job after graduation that will make me happy, introduce me to more options after it, meanwhile also challenging me to get better, work harder and strive for more. Or really just the opposite of a job that makes me sigh really deeply and reblog sad posts on Tumblr.
What makes you strong?
Sleep and hugs :( And certainty.
When the electricity goes out in your home, what’s the first thing you miss?
At night, light :( I can't read, write, or work with no lights. Next, air :((
Are you afraid of people?
Yes :(
Do you like dogs?
Yes<3
What's the number one thing that you think draws you to certain people?
It boils down to chemistry or dynamic, how well we agree or disagree, how well our minds connect or disconnect.
What does it mean when a bird poops on me?
A bird pooped on me once while I was hugging a boy I liked. It became awkward.
What invention has had the greatest impact on society?
The Internet! Telephones! Or cars/transport.
Do you spend too much time on smart phone playing ‘stupid games’?
No, I spend it on not-so-stupid social media apps :)
Do you like being alone?
From time to time, to recharge.
What do you spend most of your money on?
Transport or food. *cries*
Where do you go for internship and how do you manage your time?
I go to Makati! First thing is that I deliberately chose my class schedule with internship in mind. I kept huuuge blocks of free time in my week so that I could keep work days as much as possible separate from school days. When I have class, I just let my bosses/supervisors know what time my class is and ask permission to leave early. They understand the traffic, and they're kickass nice, so they let me go.
What’s the one most important thing to get done today?
If I can loosely translate "important" to urgent, then it's leaving internship as late as possible but getting to class/school as early as possible. Read: 1.5 hours of traffic in between. Huehue
Have you ever bought something on the internet?
Yes :) It's a wonder that I can restrain myself from online shopping every day.
What is your favorite month of the year?
It depends on the year. HAHA. Maybe June or July :)
How do you spend most of your time on the Internet?
Reading blogs/articles and looking for creative inspiration, I like to think.
Do you remember your dreams?
Rarely these days.
If you could go on a roadtrip with any person, who would you choose and where would you go?
My Book Bench loves, of course. Or maybe just the penguin. Either Baguio or somewhere near the sea.
What's one thing everyone should do in their lifetime?
When I know what needs to be done, and I have to tell other people what to do or how to do it. Sobrang vague, but knowledge or information I guess makes me "feel" like a boss.
What makes you worry?
A LACK OF SET PLANS AND BACKUP PLANS IN CASE THE SET PLANS AREN'T THAT SET AFTER ALL *explodes from preemptive anxiety*
Skinny Love (as recorded by Birdy) makes me wish I took up contemporary just so I could dance to it. A few other songs make me feel similarly, let me get back to you.
If you could be any Philippine mythological creature, what would you be?
Wow, this is gorg. Tomorrowland (though I think I have a limit for EDM), Albuquerque Intl Balloon Fest, Carnaval Brazil, Coachella (only if I'm not going there for the name, but for the bands), Wanderlust Yoga, Gay Pride, the Lantern Festival. Personally, the top picks would have to be Wanderlust Yoga, Lantern Fest, or Albuquerque.
What's the worst thing anyone could possibly do to you (short of anything mortal)?
I know I'm lame for this, but I really let the question sink in for a few minutes and I couldn't come up with anything.
Kung ikaw ay mabubuhay ng habangbuhay, ano ang iyong hanapbuhay?
Writer or teacher? I wanted to answer in Filipino but it sounded pretentious to me.
"I don't know who you are, but you remind me of someone (sometimes)."
Good thing or bad thing? Also, no, I'm not saying you're predictable. Maybe I just think I know you enough to wager that you would say something like that. Oh, and you didn't answer the question. :))
A good thing. You remind me of someone who is great company even though we're never on a date :) I can't seem to "expound" further because I don't believe in anticipating scenarios, or writing out scripts for perfect situations, because I find spontaneity and surprise an almost-necessary factor in deciding that something was perfect for me. Make sense?
"BAKIT AKO KINILIG SA QUESTION HAHAHA"
Well, magaling talaga ako sa questions. Hahahaha. To be honest, I kind of expected the (rest of the) answer you gave. Now, could you expound on the company that would give you that perfect date?
I don't know who you are, but you remind me of someone (sometimes).Also, are you saying I'm predictable? Boo-hoo.
What would you consider to be the perfect date?
BAKIT AKO KINILIG SA QUESTION HAHAHAAnyway, I think it's about the company! Like if my date and I just had amazing chemistry, and the conversations were intellectual and/or funny, the type that I end up writing about and remembering for months or years? Then the time, place and activities would matter a bit less.
What is the last thing you said to someone?
"Okay."
If you could only watch one more concert in your lifetime, whose concert would it be?
Off the top of my head: Mayday Parade or Marianas Trench.
why a panda?
Besides their being adorable and awkward, sentimental reasons, mostly :)
