No crowd control!
Supermarket, ATM, drug stores and wet market are still packed
with people without authorities controlling the situation.
Social distancing still not properly observed. A chance to spread the virus is still possible. So how can the curve of the case be flattened if the situation is like this? Hell!

To prevent my mind from
yielding to the pressure, I stopped reading/watching news and just immersed in writing.
But now I'm taking a break to do some randomness like answering random questions. This is a self-discovery challenge, a getting-to-know-you sort of thing, which is a lot better than those mathematics challenge going around in the social media.
Here we go:

If you could go anywhere for a grand vacation for a month where would it be?
Europe! It has been my
ultimate dream to travel to Europe.
What

Procrastinating.
Putting off tomorrow what I can do today.
Do
you make wishes to a shooting star?
Yes. Hahaha!
Yes. Hahaha!
Grab a book nearest to you and turn to page 18, find line 4, what is it?
Steve
Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson. Page 18, line 4: "Out in the
back, near the bay, they had a fenced-in area with things like Polaris
Submarine interiors that had been ripped and sold for salvage".

I am not confident, so no is the safest answer.
I am not confident, so no is the safest answer.

Why you did not get married,
why you have no boyfriend? What’s your age? Highly sensitive questions
that should not be asked by a normal, smart person.
Where were you 10 hours ago?
In the house, we have been locked for a
month. 🙄
Look around, what have you seen?
Our cats sleeping.
Do you
cook?
Yes. I
personally cook my own food.
I Do by 911. It's number one in my play now. I
find it melodious and sweet and inspiring. The lyrics filled with promises.
Like yeah, have been waiting for that elusive "the one" for ages to
sweep off my feet. And "I DO" song exactly magnifies those longing
and wishes. Everything in the lyrics is just so romantic, so inspiring and full
of promise. It manifests the concept of “forever”. One of my favorite lines in
the song "I'll be by your side til the day I die, I'll be waiting til I
hear you say I do". Woot!
Ever felt angry for the last days?
Frustrated and disappointed, yes. But not
angry.
Have you found The One?
Let love find me Haha! 😜. I'm tired analyzing my destiny. What flow,
flows, what crash, crashes.
When Can You Say It Is Love?
Is this question supposed to be on a romantic
level? It's love when everything feels so right and just and when I find a
person so comfortable to talk with. I don't have guys friends in life. I was
never close to a guy before. I have spent all my life avoiding them because I
waited the day I am fully emotionally matured to be in a relationship. I spent
my entire life working on my insecurities. Now, I understand life better and
ready for a more complex role in life. So it is love when I meet this guy and
find him easy to go with and talk with. As though everything just fits
perfectly. There’s some truth about the tale of Cinderella. It’s love when the
shoe fits perfectly.
You prefer someone who is?
Someone whom I feel very comfortable with.
Someone who is fun to be with. Easy to go with. Someone who can make me laugh.
And whom I can share stories. I like smart guys. Someone who can talk anything
under the sun and with substance.
Who is your greatest crush?
I remember having a huge crush on James
Franco after watching Spiderman where he portrayed Harry Osborn. He has this
perfect set of soulful eyes.
What's one thing you've been doing privately
that you never do when in front of your friends.
I sing nonstop in the videoke! Haha! None one of my friends knew
that I can sing.
Facebook or Instagram which do you prefer?
Instagram! It's more interesting and awesome.
I can follow and view photos of my favorite celebrities and public figures
without restrictions. And because basically, I love photography.
Any
lifestyle you have that's slightly different from the rest?
I never
hangout with friends in a bar or anywhere other than traveling. I don't drink
alcoholic beverages. In fact, I haven't tried it ever since, not even light
beer. I hate parties. I just want to stay at home and write stories. I am doing
dance exercise every other day or whenever I can, to stay physically fit. I
rarely eat meat, just limiting it to once a month. I rarely go to a fast food
chain. I seldom eat chocolates. And I'm not into sweet food but I love
blueberry cheesecake!
Tea of course.
Pizza or Pasta.
Pasta, particularly baked penne, carbonara
and bolognese
Things
you hated?
Smell
of cigarettes and distilled liquors. And standing in a long queue.
Enough awareness on global warming and
knowledge on carbon footprints. Everyone must be aware that every day we are
contributing to the worsening condition of the warming of atmosphere. This is
inevitable because the world is adopting a highly industrialized economy. But
we can slow it down by adopting an eco-friendly habit.
What is
your greatest achievement so far?
Completing
a suspense novel. It's been my dream to publish a book and having it done
before reaching my prime age is such a great achievement. Not everyone can
write a book I know that.
I prefer a countryside living. I'm a country
girl by heart. And one of my yearnings is to build a small house in a suburban
or in the farm with a beautiful garden and oriental plants.
Titanic or The Notebook?
Titanic! I like epic and tragic movies. I am
not really into drama stuff, tear-jerker films.
Horror or drama films?
I prefer horror, it is more thrilling unlike drama
which is too predictable.
Do you like K-drama?
No, I am not into it. K-drama leans too much in formula fiction which makes its narratives too predictable. And I hate too predictable, melodramatuc plots. It bores me to no end.
What's one movie that even thinking about it
can make you cry?
The Green Mile. It was written by Stephen
King and was made into movie by director Frank Darabont starring Tom Hanks. A highly
emotional movie. It retells the story of an innocent man charged with rape and
murder he did not commit. He was unfairly put to death without retrial.
A feel-good song that you want to hear for
the rest of your life.
Easy by Lionel Richie. So wonderful, so
melodious and perfectly smooth. Every time I hear this song it makes everything
so light and peaceful in my mind.
Extreme adventure you've done so far.
The helmet diving in Boracay. That was so
scary I would never do it again.
Sunrise or Sunset
Sunrise. I find it very inspiring and
motivating. It makes life smooth and soft. I always feel there's something
special in the morning with a bright sun rising above. It implies a promising tomorrow.
What is cooler. Tattoo or Piercing?
None of it. I hate both.
Favorite TV Programs/Shows?
I don’t watch TV that much. Sports telecast,
News, and Documentaries only. I'm not into soap operas. I prefer real stories
and current affairs than those dramas.
Name a
current world figure you're in awe the most.
A lot.
Pope Francis, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Queen Elizabeth II, Warren Buffet.
They are gifts to humanity.
An
important advocacy you're very enthusiastic about.
Environmental
advocacy. I always believe that the worsening condition of the warming of the
atmosphere is an urgent global concern that needs immediate attention from
everyone. Next to hunger and wars, global warming (one of the main causes of
Climate Change) is a major problem that directly affects humanity. So we need
to cooperate and do things in our own little way to slow down the warming of
the atmosphere. Let's be mindful with our carbon footprints.
Do you
have any regrets in life?
None. I
always believe that things happen for a reason. And the road we took back then
is the path that leads us to where we are today. It's the consequences
of our decision. There are really events that bound to take place to bring us
to where God wants us to be. I can only count lessons over those failures. But
never regrets. Failures make everyone tougher and wiser. And I am a better
person now. The best version of myself.
Ever been in love?
Yes. But not in a relationship. You can love someone
without being in a relationship anyway. Love is not something to be
bartered for. It should be freely given without asking something in return. I
guess that’s the kind of love so pure and sublime.
Which
do you prefer in a guy, perfect body built or intelligence?
Intelligence.
What would I do with his perfect body built if he can't speak anything
intellectual? I like articulate, smart guys who can discuss anything and
everything under the sun, from the Fall of Troy to the melting of the glacier
in the arctic. I like guys with a tremendous sense of humor.
I guess yes. I mean we are innately romantic.
Even if we're not in a relationship. We can show affection towards someone even
if the relationship is plain friendship. Romance is taken from the word
“Romans”, referring to the people of Rome. They are perceived to be very
affectionate, compassionate and intimate, and very tactile. I'm compassionate
towards many things, therefore, I'm romantic. 😀
Well,
maybe due to the movement and warming of the earth beneath haha!
Why do
broken heart exists?
I
suppose this question has nothing to do with the sink hole, right? 😁 In our
lifetime, according to experts, we can experience stuff like this because we do
have emotions. It is inevitable.
If you could trade places, to whom would you
choose and why.
Tough question 😁 Someone famous in the literary world like
J.K. Rowling. The celebrity status is enough to influence the world with my
environmental advocacy. If I would go around the world and promote my
environmental crusade, people will most likely listen if I am J.K Rowling.
Your type of cuisine?
All things Asia. I love oriental cuisine.
Japanese in particular.
Rainy days. I love cool weather. It makes
everything smooth and peaceful. I like the effect of rain to my senses. It motivates
me to write more.
Stare down. What do you see?
Our cats sleeping.
You feel the breeze, the cool air. What do
you think is the message?
God's assurance about a peaceful, beautiful
life. Breeze makes tree leaves dance and I love the sight of swaying leaves.
The relaxing breeze always brings peace of mind.
Define your life now?
Things a bit crazy right now. I'm still
struggling in all aspect. But I have outgrown my emotional tendencies and my
juvenile insecurities. So I don't have much to complain and just do what I need
to do now. And start planning things again.
