Doing Half a Set of Q's

Let us sneak in a few questions to answer while I wait for whatever I am supposed to really be doing to be done. I happen to have saved some articles of other co-read writers and it is about time to do my take on the questions.

Something light and easy for a cool breezy aftie, eh? It is still gloomy today here. (at least when I started this one. seems to be sunny now that I revisited this article). Though it started sunny. I thought it would stay sunny whole day.

So this one's taken from Olasquare's writeup from 2 months ago. Yes. I saved articles for that long. Imagine the list in my bookmark.

So let's see...

From your childhood, are there experiences that stand out?

The awesome part of my childhood is it was when the neighborhood is a lot safer. Parents can trust their neighbors to treat their kids as one of their own. So the streets were not as mean as they are today. There is the fact that these days, it is super hot outside unlike before. The best part of that is that we all get to play outside after sleepign in the afternoon. The streets then have kids playing around (and fighting, too).

Summer is the best because everyone is on school break. And we have a game of patintero and we play it like till late.

One of the experiences that come to me every now and then was the rope swing we found during one time we were going around in the neighborhood. There is this fat rope hanging on a tree. So we tried swinging tarzan-like with that one. The first swing was fine. Single swing was good.

But since I was small and the youngest at that time, the older ones tried going for a duo with me. I guess the rope can only bear weight for so much, it broke mid swing. I ended up landing on the concrete canal that is exactly my size on the sides. It was hilarious and scary at the same time. We were not hurt. Shocked yes.

Do you have a favourite holiday and why?

Christmas would be an easy holiday pick. Next to that would be the Holy Week because we can get a longer time off from school and work. Besides, from both holidays are connected to the best happening in humankind ever! Imagine Christmas is the birth of hope and salvation which is Christ and the Holy Week is the fulfillment of the prophecy of the completion of His mission on earth.

Have you ever encountered food that was hard to swallow but you didn’t want to offend someone?

Hah! Going back to childhood. I'm a picky eater. And was not a vegetable-lover either. So I those were hard to swallow but we have to. Sometimes we fail and we do tactics to not have to eat the thing. But I get caught. I don't think that offends my parents though. I think they know the struggle I was going through. Haha.

How does “knowing too much” benefit or harm you?

Curiosity and that capacity to absorb, observe and conclude is a real gem that can be a curse and a blessing at the same time. knowing too much puts you in an advantage in knowing to strategize your plans if "knowing too much" is in line with that. Tat way, it bnenefits you.

But "knowing too much" can also be annoying to some. It can be interesting, ergo, being a magnet of other curious souls who can also contribute to being a better you, or it can tick off people and repel them, too. Knowing too much does not mean you get a good look at every angle. You are just maybe a step ahead of one area of what the current situation is. It does not automatically mean you see all the angles. Knowing too much does not make you Doctor Strange though you can be strange to most. Haha.

So this is by far my answers to some questions. Do feel free to use the same questions to brew up your article as well!
