Of Me and the Likes of Me
What ONE word best describes you?
One word is not enough to describe me. Kidding! Uhm, maybe, DIFEERENT.
Do you prefer reading books or watching movies?
Name the title of your favorite film or book.
This is hard. I’d say The Age of Adaline for the film and Twilight series for the book.
Name your favorite band/s or singer/s and their songs that you love best
Jessie J is the best. I actually have all of her songs on my phone. And some of the best songs of hers are, Who You Are, Masterpiece, Who’s Lauhghing Now, Nobody’s Perfect and may more.
Write lyrics that apply to my current situation/mood.
“Don’t lose who you are. In the blur of the stars. Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing it’s okay not to be okay.”
Put these in order of your favorite movie genre to least: Horror, action, thriller, adventure, superhero, romance, drama, comedy, musical and dance?
Romance, Comedy, Musical and Dance, Drama, Adventure, Superhero, Thriller, Action, Horror.
What are the top 5 movies to make you cry? (Or at least make you sad!)
Up, Hachiko, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, If I Stay & One More Chance.
If you could choose which age/era/century would you be born in which would it be?
What is the most unusual food you’ve ever eaten?
Banana with powdered milk.
What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever bought for someone? How much did it cost and who was it for?
Honestly, as cliché as this sound but in giving gifts the price doesn’t matter it’s the thought that counts. So I’d rather share the sweetest gift I had given to one of my best friends which was a jar full of folded colorful papers with messages written inside and also random small cute stuff that she likes.
What’s the freakiest dream you’ve ever had? Describe.
I can’t clearly remember the exact details but what I could recall was that my grandmother was killed by my father in front of me. She was begging him not to kill her and I can’t do anything I don’t know why. It was horrible. I was actually crying when I woke up. I know it’s impossible but I can’t imagine it happening in real life.
What is the biggest injury you’ve ever sustained and how did you do it?
Thankfully I’m not really prone to injuries even if I’m into sports. So I think my biggest injury happened when I was 8 or 9 years old I got this deep cut on my right hand specifically the space between the thumb and the forefinger, medically it’s called Thenar Space. Anyway, I got this because I was trying to remove this glass bracelet I wore but I really don’t know how it happened but as it came off, in an instant a lot of blood spurted out like a tiny fountain out of my hand. Coincidentally I was in the hospital that time so I was immediately rushed to the emergency room and then stitches were done.
Which would you rather out of these 3 options? A: Be good looking and extremely intelligent but so poor you live on the streets. B: Be extremely intelligent and a millionaire but what society classes as ugly. Or C: Be good looking and a millionaire but extremely academically challenged? Why?
For me I’d have to choose option A. So what if I’m poor, if I’m extremely intelligent and good looking. I mean, being intelligent is enough for me to escape from poverty. I could apply for scholarships for me to be able to go to school and for my other needs to be accommodated for free and by then I could top, impress big persons and eventually get a decent job for me to be able to live a better life. And being good looking is just a plus factor.
Who are your best friends?
I actually have 12 best friends. Namely, Blaise, Kezzy, Yy, Janel, Cessa, Ethel, Kirk, Aidz, Jm, Macky, Aeron and Pito. It may seem a lot more than usual but it’s true.
Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?
YES. But I’d really have to exert an effort just to be friends. Because I’m that person who doesn’t really show her true identity unless you’ve proven that you’re worthy to be friends with. But when we’re friends already you’ll know what a true friend is like.
Which is easier, to forgive or to forget?
Both are hard to do. But in my opinion, forgiving is less harder than forgetting. Because you forgive so than you can let go, move on and prevent them from destroying your heart. But you can never forget what they did even if a long time has passed. As they say, the heart forgives but the mind never forgets.
Have you ever met someone who has completely altered your way of thinking? Who?
· Yes. My older sister. She made me see that there’s more to life than just some crappy teenage things. She made me care for things I didn’t think worth caring. She made me appreciate more the important persons in my life. She made me realized that what I think life is, really isn’t.
If you could be talented at anything instantly what would you choose?
I’ve always wanted to be musically inclined. I wanted to be the person who can sing majestically at the same time naturally amazing with different kinds of musical instruments.
If you could live in any fictional universe which would you choose?
I’m a big Twilight fan since high school so as weird as this seems but I wanted to be in the Vampire world. How cool can it be if you’ll have the characteristics just like a vampire has? Immortality, beauty, strength, speed and if lucky a special ability. Who wouldn’t want that?
What have been the top 3 most brilliant days of this year? Describe them in as much or as little detail as you like.
2 months had just passed for the year 2016 and it’s still a very short time to be able to choose the top 3 most brilliant days. But I have one; I can’t consider it one of the most brilliant but for now it will do. It’s January 1, the first day of the year. New feels, new breathe, new chances and same dreams but fresh start. And I am hoping and believing that this year is going to be my year.
If you could Eliminate one of your human needs which would you get rid of?
Sleep. Because sleep is for the weak. As much as I love sleeping, but can you imagine having those extra 8 hours you’ll get if you don’t have to sleep? Extra movie time, reading time, music time, study time, project time, assignment time and lots of extra time to procrastinate at the same time be productive.
Do you believe in soul mates?
I do believe in soul mates. Because a soul mate doesn’t mean you’d end up with him. For me, a soul mate is the person who would completely change your life, either he’d damage you or bolster you. It is someone who could create a better and stronger person out of you.
Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say?
I have a few guy best friends and I can’t imagine one of them falling in love with me. But if they do, honestly I don’t know how to react. I don’t want to destroy the strong friendship that we currently have but rejecting him would create a wound on our friendship. On the other hand, accepting his confession even though I don’t have any feelings for him would not just destroy our friendship but would also hurt him. Even though I don’t want either of that to happen I’d have to choose one and act on it. So I think I’ll just gently explain to him, that I’m really sorry but I can’t reciprocate the feelings that he has for me. I can’t force myself to feel the same way as he does because that would hurt him more. I wish he’d understand my decision because I can’t afford to destroy our strong bond, I can’t afford to hurt him and I can’t afford to lose one of my best friends.
What is more difficult for you, looking into someone’s eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when they are telling you how they feel?
For me, it’s a lot more difficult looking into someone’s eyes when confessing because it’s embarrassing and soul-sucking. Isn’t it mortifying enough to confess to someone personally? What more if I’d have to look into his eyes and declare my feelings for him!
Who is that one person that you really like and what makes them unique from the rest?
By like, you mean liking someone romantically or idolizing somebody? But whatever I’ll answer the “someone you like romantically” because why not? Well there’s this guy I like, I wouldn’t say his name. I like his personality, his voice, his hair, his eyes, his humor and the way he smiles. He’s different. He’s my guy.
What do you believe us as human beings take most for granted in this world?
The privilege of death. Because people tend to notice and appreciate one person when he’s already gone.
Say, the semester has ended, what valuable NON-ACADEMIC Lesson would you want to learn from your teacher/s or classmates, if given the chance?
Acceptance and friendship. From elementary to high school I’ve always had the same group of friends and classmates so I didn’t exactly know how to socialize in college and add up the factor that I’m sort of a socially awkward. So at the end of the semester, I’d like to see strangers becoming friends. I’d like to know that even though you’re from different places, you have different personalities; different status and a lot more differences, there are people out there who are willing to accept and be friends with you.
