Princess Dawn's questions:

1. If you can read a poem of Pablo Neruda to someone, who would that be?

I think, it would be my friend from a seminary in Dagupan, Pangasinan since we both love Literature. I think hearing Pablo Neruda's poems over the phone would make him happy. :-)

2. What are the books you want to read? 

-Kant and the Platypus

- Never Let Me Go

-Harry Potter series (I'm not a huge Potter fan, I'm sorry.)

-Sophie's World

-Written on the Body

-One Hundred Years of Solitude

3. What can you say about the Lady Gaga’s concert protest?

People should at least be open to the variation and possibilities of ideas that the mass media could offer them. I still believe that the protests regarding Lady Gaga's concert is too much for an artist who does not conform to the norms of the society. Seriously, we should simply accept other people's beliefs as much as we want them to accept ours. 

4. And do you actually believe that she’s evil? 

Well, no.

5. If you can go back to medieval life, who would you want to marry? A prince or a knight?    

   A prince. Princes always win my heart when it comes to those fictional stories.

6. If God says, you should let him go, will you?   

Yes. I know it's part of His plans and I would forever believe in them. 

7. Are you a reader of A Song of Ice and Fire series or do you even watch GOT in HBO? (if you do, i’ll best friend you! Haha!)

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not a huge fan of those. :( But we can still be friends, right? Haha!

8. If you have the power of teleportation, in what place will you go first? 

Paris, France.

9. If you can talk to a person from your past, what are you going to tell him?

Hi. You're still my drinking buddy after all. See you in court,dearest.

10. What indie songs do you know?    

-Somebody that I used to know by Gotye

-Falling Slowly by The Civil Wars

-Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars

-Falling by The Civil Wars

-Dream by Priscilla Ahn

11. What is your greatest fear and why is so? Explain.

My greatest fear would be 'death'. I am afraid of leaving the earth and seeing myself being turned into ashes. I hate leaving those people that I love and saying good bye to them because I'm going to die.

These are my questions:

1. Do you believe in same-sex marriage?

2. What's your stand regarding the issue of the Scarborough Shoal?

3. What's that one thing that you cannot live without?

4. If you would be a fictional character, who are you going to be and why? 

5. If you could become 'someone' for a day, who are you going to be and why?

6. What's your stand about love?

7. If you could write a poem for someone, what would be your title? Explain.

And for those I will tag, here are my questions for you:

1. If you can read a poem of Pablo Neruda to someone, who would that be?

I still don't know.. But that would be my husband. 2. What are the books you want to read? 

I have many in line but I want to read 1Q84 and other books of Haruki Murakami, Stardust, Life of Pi.  3. What can you say about the Lady Gaga’s concert protest?

Uhm, I respect them because they are also Christians. I admire them for being so passionate but the best the government can do is to refrain Lady Gaga from singing the most malicious songs. Plus, Christians did their best and the good thing is that even though they did not stop LG's concert is they showed the nation-- even the world that their Faith will not be shaken. 4. And do you actually believe that she’s evil? 

I don't believe that she's evil because according to what I've heard she was victimized by a group so her eyes weren't opened for the Lord the very first time it did. 5. If you can go back to medieval life, who would you want to marry? A prince or a knight?

Well, it depends on who I am. If I were a really poor girl and my father is a peasant, I will marry a prince because you know it's very tragic. But if I were this really brave and strong girl I would marry the knight. On second thought, i would marry a prince because no matter what I am, I will be strong and a Prince can be a fighter, too.  6. If God says, you should let him go, will you?   

Of who? But of course, I will. It's His will. 7. Are you a reader of A Song of Ice and Fire series or do you even watch GOT in HBO? (if you do, i’ll best friend you! Haha!)

I'm not. :( But I've been eyeing the book for so long I just don't have the moolah. :/

8. If you have the power of teleportation, in what place will you go first? 

Uhm, I.. Jerusalem?

9. If you can talk to a person from your past, what are you going to tell him?

I am going to blab about the present and how much I do not want him/her to change the way it did but then it would be boring. I would still say it.

10. What indie songs do you know?    

The Script songs, Bear, Need You Now, Tape Song, Lisztomania,etc.

11. What is your greatest fear and why is so? Explain.

I don't know. I fear a lot of things. I fear not being good enough. I fear that everybody would know that I really care because I should not. I fear of falling in love, maybe that is. I don't want to be one of those people who were eaten by love. I know it's up to you, but what if, I will be? Yeah, that's what I fear. I am afraid to take risks like that because I can't, I can't afford to.

Everything happens for a reason. Every people we meet will have a role in our lives be it small or big. Some will hurt, betray and make us cry to become stronger. Some will teach us lessons not to change us but for us to realize our mistakes and to help us grow and make us a better person we can be. And some would simply inspire and love us to make us happy, whole and complete.
