Random Questions to Answer

First, I would like to thank @OfficialGamboaLikeUs for tagging me to participate in this challenge. Sorry about not being able to post this yesterday. I was just so tired from what I did that I did not have any energy left to write an article.

But I did accept the challenge so I will be posting it now. I am so excited. I used the website @OfficialGamboaLikeUs recommended which is: https://learnhip.com/randomq/.

Let's start!

1. Do you like traveling alone?

I am actually afraid of traveling alone because it is a guaranteed way of being lost. Everytime I go to any place alone, I always end up somewhere else. It is fun when I figured out a landmark si that I finally know where to go, but it is frustrating when I just want to go home.

So now, I only travel alone when I go to a place I already know. I also always make sure to have some data I can use for Google maps if ever I get lost again. Most times though, I travel with my friends or family.

2. Where did you get the clothes you're wearing now?

I am unsure if this is a question of the brand of my clothes or who gave it to me. So I will answer this question in two ways.

I do not know what brand this clothes is. It is probably some no brand clothes. Yup, there is not tag. I just checked.

This is still my favorite shirt right now though because the fabric is so light and it does not stick to my skin. My mother gave it to me.

3. What are you looking forward to?

What I am looking forward to right now is probably the same thing as most of us here. I am looking forward to BCH flying to the moon again. I am really excited for it to happen so I can set aside money to buy a future dip.

Another thing I am looking forward to right now is receiving my first order in my crochet business. I am underselling my projects right now because I am only a beginner and I want to build up my portfolio first before marking my projects with the proper price.

Hey, maybe you want to be my first customer. Here is the link to my shop if you are interested 😉: https://shopee.ph/zehrasky.yarns.

4. Have you ever celebrated yoyr birthday in another country?

No, I have not. I have yet to travel to another country too. It is in my future plans though. However it will take about 5 years after graduating college before I can roam around the world. If you are wondering why, I need to render my return service in the country in exchange of my scholarship during college. There is a process we had to go through first before leaving the country which I think is a hassle so I would rather wait it out.

5. How often do you go to the doctor for a check-up?

I do not go often to the doctor for check-up. The last time I went was when I was literally dying of blood loss. I did not went back again after that.

6. If you could have a dinner or a drink with any living person, who would you choose?

This is a tough question. I think I would go for Taylor Swift this time. She looks so fun to be with. I also admire her strength to fight for what she knows is her right. Of course, her music as well as her lyrics made me fall in love with her.

7. Have you ever had a bad haircut?

I envy anyone who never experienced a bad haircut in their lives. I have had a lot of bad haircuts but there is one that stood out to me. I went to a cheap salon since it was night and most salons are already closed.

The one who is cutting my hair made some insults about how dry it is and even likened it to a "walis tambo" or a broom. My hair was ruined from being rebonded again and again, and I wanted a hair cut to remove the dead hair. The cut did not even turn out straight and they ruined my night with their unnecessary comment.

I am opting to cut my own hair now which of course guarantees that it will be a bad haircut but at least I do not have to sit through someone insulting my hair.

8. What projects are you working on at home or at work right now?

The current project I am working on at home is redecorating my room. I have a lot of things and so little storage so I am constantly rearranging everything in my room to look for the best placements.

For my crafts, I am working on making some clay and crochet earrings. I am also learning how to do an amigurumi since the fiber fill I ordered arrived yesterday.

9. How has your music taste changed as you've got older?

I have mostly the same music taste as before. I still listen to the same music I listened to 5 years ago. It just expanded to include more k-pop, some classical music, and a lot more Taylor Swift songs.

10. If you have a partner, how did you meet them?

I do not have a partner right now. Not officially anyway. But I would imagine that if I had one right now, I would have met them online.

11. Have you ever read a book that had a big effect on your life?

Yes, for this question I will say that it is the Dork Diaries that had a big effect on my life. No, it is not because it is so deep and complex that it gave me existential crisis. But it is because of its simplicity and relatability.

I used to read 3 books of that series in one class day. I did not know that it is unusual until my friends told me about how fast I am reading them. What I am saying is that Dork Diaries made me realize how much I love reading which really affected how my life is right now.

12. What's a memorable place you've visited?

I would have to say that it is Intramuros. Maybe it is because it was the first place I went to without my parents or maybe something nust calls me to that place. I do not know. All I know is that I went there once and I could not stop going back and thinking about that place. Something in me is just really calm everytime I am there.

13. Do you think a large age difference is unimportant in a relationship?

If both parties are past their late 20s then I do not think it is a big deal. Why late 20s? Because I think any younger than that is still not that self-aware or still has some growing up to do.

With a large age gap, there is bound to be someone who is the authority figure which is why I think it is important that the younger one has a clear sense of self. Otherwise, it risked being an unhealthy and abusive relationship.

That is just my personal opinion though. Feel free to disagree with me about this.

14. If you had $1,000,000 to invest, how would you invest it?

Wow, just imagining that money is already too much. I think if I had that, I will invest in land and properties for the most part. Maybe transform the land into something that will generate more money like a farm. Then, I will also buy some yarns and some other craft items to sell. Of course, I will invest in some crypto as well specifically in BCH.

15. Do you spring out of bed in the morning or do you need more time time to wake up?

Definitely need more time to wake up. If it is a vacant day like this, I stay in bed for a few more minutes to write an article and nap again. But if it is a busy day, I spring up immediately just so I do not feel tempted to stay in bed any longer.

16. If you had a time machine which period would you visit?

I would love to visit the time when the Library of Alexandria was still there. I want to see what was stored there. I want to know what was lost in history.

17. Do you think couples should live together before getting married?

This is a little bit controversial for someone living in a conservative country but I think living together before getting married is a must. We are most comfortable at home, so this where we see the habits of our partners. It also shows some issues one ignored before. It brings out little annoyances that one can pretend not to notice when out on a date but cannot ignore when living together. I just think that living together brings out a different side to everyone.

18. What were you afraid of when you were a child?

I was afraid that the darkness will swallow me. I was also afraid of growing up to be a disappointment.

Well, I had a lot of fun. Too much. I answered 18 questions but I still want to answer more. If there are any more challenges like this, feel free to always tag me. I really enjoy participating in different challenges.
