Would you rather...

In times when my brain cells are not working well, writing prompts comes in handy dandy, and are very helpful to us who want to make writing a habit of getting into our daily lives(published or not).

As I was exploring this wonderful platform read.cash, I am humbled by how big the community is and how dedicated they are to writing their crafts.

I have so much to learn and one of it is joining prompts that will keep the fingers going.

So here's my edition:

________________________

Would You Rather . . .

Get spanked or get slapped?

I'd rather get spanked because my father was a disciplinarian. We got used to it 'before'. I remember how when one of my siblings made a mistake, every one of us(siblings) was forced to lay down facing the floor and get spanked as a punishment. If one of us committed a mistake, then everybody will be punished.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why my butt didn't grow bigger haha char! Just kidding.

Eat too salty food or eat too spicy food?

Spicy food of course! I am a Bicolana and I grew up having something spicy on the table almost every day.

Bicolana or Bicolano means local residents in Region V or the Bicol Region, Philippines. Bicolana refers to females and Bicolano refers to males.

Bicol Region local citizens are known to be brave and dominant in eating spicy foods. They love to incorporate chili peppers and coconut milk in preparing their meal.

Another reason is that I lessen the salt intake for me to prevent U.T.I., when I was in elementary and high school, almost every year I was confined in the hospital because of eating salty foods, junk foods, sodas, etc. I graduated college without me being admitted with U.T.I because I limit myself in taking salty foods. Prevention is a must, especially to us who don't have extra money for hospitalization and have endless bills.

Be in love or someone in love with you?

I know it's an amazing feeling to be loved even if you don't ask for it but I will still choose to be in love with someone. I guess it's better that way to love someone without expecting something in return than be selfish gaining the love and attention from someone who loves me but I don't actually love. I'd rather be in love with someone than waste that person's time and energy loving me. I am certain most of the time about my likes and dislikes. When I don't like a person for example a suitor, I'd rather say it respectfully as early as the first talk than fool him around and give false hope. The more effort and love invested, the more I will be hurting that person.

Hate someone or someone hate you?

I will choose someone who hates me because I now realize how we cannot please everybody. Before I was too cautious of my words and actions even keeping my anger to myself just to avoid hurting other people. I used to value their feelings over mine most of the time. I then realized, at some point in our lives, there will always be someone who will hate us even for no valid reason. We are just being ourselves and there is nothing wrong with being true to ourselves.

Their opinions sometimes are better to be ignored than losing yourself being the fake you just to satisfy their ego.

Have a job you hate but make good money or a job you love but do not make good money?

I remember I answered this already in someone's post, I chose a job that I hate but making a good amount of money. Money is so much an important thing in our daily lives especially in this time of Pandemic.

But I am having second thoughts now, I want to choose "the job that I do love but not gaining a good amount of money". I realized I've been in that first choice already and realizing my checklist plans for myself would be a great feeling.

I believe that if we pursue the things that we love including a job of choice, you will be enjoying it and sometimes you wouldn't know you're that successful. I mean, definitely, money will follow.

Be the caregiver or be taken care of?

Maybe for a change, I'd like to be taken care of even if it's just for a day. Haha I don't even know what " me" time means😅.

Live alone or be surrounded by crowds of people?

I'd love to be alone so I'd like to live alone. I mean, it's just amazing to finally be laying down on bed and sometimes I can be in a room for a day.

Sometimes crowd scares me especially because of covid. Whenever we have relatives coming, I tend to overthink.

I don't like social parties too. I don't know, maybe it's really just the pandemic. But living alone just means "peace and productivity" for me.

Swim with sharks or alligators/crocodiles?

Tricky question. Hmm, I don't like both! If I really have to choose then it would be swimming with sharks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think sharks won't attack me if I don't have open wounds and blood flowing right? I guess yes, I'd choose sharks.

Be too hot or too cold?

Too hot! Hahahah you don't like me being cold. Hahaha, I can live my whole life ignoring someone and I don't like someone being cold to me either. Especially if that's the person I love the most, it's like killing me with silence, lol.

I'd want to be sexy and hot too but that want will be a long process I know because I don't even workout. Haha

Be too hungry or too thirsty

Too hungry, because if I get too thirsty that would be a problem. I don't think I can survive a day without drinking water so I'd choose too hungry.

Be dominant or be submissive?

I can be both. Being dominant to my siblings especially if they are too stubborn. I can be submissive to the law at the same time and to the elderly's advice.

That's it for today.
