Let's post something light for once. For the past few posts, it was all heavy-heavy so now, I want to post something else. I saw a few of my friends on AFF doing this and I thought, “Why not? Wouldn't hurt to try it.” So here goes! 50 answers for 50 questions–plus a few asides! Wooh!

1. Were you named after anybody?
Yes. Long story. I have two names. The first one was named after a nun who passed away, who was apparently close friends with my grandparents. The second one was a shorter version of my grandfather's sister, who apparently helped pay the bills while my mom was pregnant with me.

2. When was the last time you cried?
Two days ago. I was moody.
 
3. Do you like your handwriting?
Not sure. Sometimes, when I'm not in a hurry. If I'm being rushed to write many sentences within 2 minutes though, I hate it. I have to squint to actually decipher a single letter. And that's a chore. Blegh.
 
4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
...Chicken without bones? Chicken fillet?
 
5. Do you have kids?
...Um, no. Not in the near future, at least. Not unless I become a Blessed Mary reincarnation.
 
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
*bites lips* This is a tough one. I'm biased, since I'm still me, so I don't know if objectively speaking, I want to be friends with me. I mean, I'm pretty antisocial and snappy when I'm moody. And pretty warm and loyal most of the time. I'm a hot and cold friend. Not so sure if I want to be friends with someone like that. (Ouch. I just wounded myself.)
 
7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Maybe? I won't really notice if I do, especially since I'm quiet most of the time.
 
8. Do you still have your tonsils? 
I...think so?
 
9. Would you bungee jump?
I would, given the opportunity at a legal age. Haha. I think it'll be fun to try to confront my fears, but to be honest, the activity has its scares. For example, what if I hit something while I bungee jump? Or what if my rope or whatever breaks and I die? That kind of thing.
 
10. What is your favorite cereal?
Cookie Crunchies! They look like small cookies and taste like chocolate so naturally, I love them!
 
11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
...Yes. My feet are too big (in my opinion)! TT~TT
 
12. Do you think that you're pretty strong? 
Only when I'm scared. Most of the time, I'm pretty weak. Kinda like those anime male protagonists who have this strong will to become stronger but are still weak, in their opinion.
 
13. What is your favorite ice cream?
Anything with chocolate and/or strawberry. YUM!
 
14. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Their facial expression or their eyes. It tells a lot about what people are feeling and helps me understand them.
 
15. Red or Pink?
Either one. Red is too flashy and pink is too soft so a mix would be much more preferable. But... I like red more. 

...

Because it looks like BLOOD. ヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉ *evil laugh*
 
16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? 
No self-control?
 
17. Who do you miss the most? 
Reina, my best friend...
 
18. What is the nutrition or fitness strategy that you need to work on the most?
Not even considering those, but I guess something to do with my food and water intake.
 
19. What color shoes are you wearing?
Bare feet, sort of light brown, I guess (since technically, skin does cover my foot, like shoes do #RIPlogic XD). 

...Why do you need to know that anyway? (._.)
 
20. What was the last thing you ate?
Can't remember. I'm just going to list down what I ate recently instead. 
Dinner: Munchkins (small donuts you can find here), pizza twister, spaghetti, chicken burger, 3 chocolate bars and apple pie. (But I'm not a big eater or anything. Just felt like eating that much TODAY.)
 
21. What are you listening to right now?
Setsuna Ogiso (Madoka Yonezawa) – SOUND OF DESTINY (from White Album 2, anime)

22. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
( • – •) That's weird. I just felt like I was a crayon for a second. *shakes head*
Anyway, black. Black is a mixture of all colors, and as I'm interested in trying everything, black is the perfect representation of that. Also, I'm a night owl so I love nights, though I don't quite like complete darkness. (Haha. How ironic.) AND I'm the negative part of the spectrum, if I'm going to be completely honest. I'm pretty negative about things so unless someone or something affects me with their jolly mood, I'm feeling black: exclusive, alone and sad. Maybe even a little resentful and cynical.
 
23. Favorite smells?
Just one: the smell of new books and magazines. My mom always commented on this weird habit of mine when I was a child, but every flip of a page when I'm reading a new book or magazine, I sniff it, like a dog or something. She said I looked like an addict. Haha. 
 
24. Who was the last person you ever talked to on the phone? 
My mother.

25. Mountain hideaway or beach house?
Neither, but if I had to choose, beach house. I like being next to water, calm or otherwise, so beach house. Plus, I might even be able to see the sun rise!

26. Favorite sports to watch?
Swimming. But I don't really watch sports, so...
 
27. Hair color?
Akagami. Red hair.
 
28. Eye color? 
If it was possible, violet or gray.
 
29. Do you wear contacts?
No.
 
30. Favorite food?
Caramel rolls. Mmm... Yum. 
 
31. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings, I guess.
 
32. Last movie you watched?
Pixels. Only because I invited my mom to bond with me and it was the only thing out of all of our collection that she hasn't watched yet. Ah... It's so hard to pick a movie to watch with her. ( ˘ ³˘) 
 
33. What color is the shirt that you are wearing?
Printed, and not a shirt.

34. Summer or winter?
Summer. I get to eat halo-halo, a local delicacy, and other sweet cold food so I love it! Though I still hate the unbearable heat part...
 
35. Hugs or kisses?
Neither. I like my personal space and those kinds of interactions invade that. (Not to mention, those are just awkward. AWKWARD.) I don't even let my parents hug me...usually.
But I did hug a classmate of mine, a boy, when I was in elementary out of pure gratitude and joy. He was really surprised and I didn't realize I hugged him until after I let go. I was really happy that he fixed something that was precious to me so I was so excited, I hugged him. At the time, the hug had no malice and it wasn't awkward at all (for me, anyway). But now that I think about it, WHAT WAS I THINKING? I had no crush on him, but still. That is now awkward to me.ヽ(。_°)ノ

I hope you don't mind me sharing another experience (that has nothing to do with this question), but this one time, when I was 8 or 9, I had this really annoying classmate who sat behind me who kept ‘accidentally’ tripping me (and kicking these gaps in my chair that poked at my during class hours :-P) whenever I walked by his seat. As revenge, when he walked in front of our row of seats, I blocked his way out (since I sat closest to the only exit out of the row) using my legs. I was even laughing. But then, he did something unexpected and shoved his way out using his strength. Since I was physically weaker, my legs fell under pressure and he tripped...
And I tripped along with him. Haha. I ended up on top of him. At the time, I was just surprised and brushed it off. But now... WHAT IN THE WORLD? Those kinds of things only happen in dramas or fictional stories. Good thing I was a kid back then or else I would've been really embarrassed. #shamelessandunpredictablekid

36. Favorite dessert?
Uh... Anything with chocolate, strawberries, cherries, bananas and/or cream? I can never choose.
 
37. Strength training or cardio?
HUH? Neither, but I guess I would rather try cardio because I've been having light chest pains lately, though not very often. Plus, I think it's time I strengthened my heart. You never know what might happen...
 
38. Computer or Television? 
Computer. You can do WAY more with a computer. Plus, I get to binge-watch on anything I download on a computer with zero commercials AND get to play games and all that jazz with just a single device. Yahoo!
 
39. What book are you reading right now?
Does that include fanfics? If so, then around 200+ since many of them are still ongoing and I'm too impatient to just wait without doing anything. Haha, I'm an avid reader. If not, then One Plus One by Jojo Moyes (my mother's book) and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell (also my mother's). I like to read many books at the same time, especially since I don't really read chapters in order. 
Hehe. I get too impatient and want to know what will happen at the end. Then, I read backwards from there to find out how it led to those events. And before I knew it, I've read the entire book from the ending to the page I was on before the ‘page-leap.’
 
40. What is on your mousepad?
No mousepad.
 
42. Favorite sound? 
Nothing in particular. Just anything except reggae. And those weird hypnotic techno sounds. ಥ_ಥ
 
43. Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Neither. Not familiar with their songs so I can't really judge.
 
44. What is the farthest you've been from home?
Just in our province in the same huge island. I don't really stray too far away from home. Not like I can afford it, anyway... (╥_╥) 
 
45. Do you have a special talent?
Don't we all?
 
46. Where were you born?
In Olongapo City. 

47. Where are you living right now?
In Metro Manila, Philippines. That's about as specific as I get.
 
48. What color is your house?
Exterior or interior? 
Exterior: pale peach-pink shade
Interior: mostly white, with touches of gray from accumulated dust and dirt, with about 3-5 inches of a shade of maroon that borders the edges around the floor. Just about as standard as you can get.

49. What color is your car?
No car. Not yet...or ever(?). Depends on how much I earn when I get older. But in my head, I picture getting a sleek black car.
 
50. Do you like answering 50 Questions?
I'm not sure. But really, if I had the patience to answer all 50 questions honestly and completely, then, I guess I do?
