Happy 2000! :)

Does it irritate you when people are late for things, or do you not really care? It does get annoying, yeah - especially when what they're late for stuff that involves A LOT a lot a lot of people. I availed a shuttle service going to Jiyong's concert last month and there was one dipshit who held us all up because they were nowhere near the meetup point by the time we were scheduled to leave. At the end we ended up waiting for her so it delayed our departure for a bit.

Are you nervous about anything? I'm always nervous for Mondays since I never know what the work week would bring.

Is your bed against more than one of your walls? It's against three walls, so yes.

When was the last time someone chased you with a hose? Hasn't happened since I was a kid/in my early teens.

Have you ever burned yourself while taking something out of the oven? Hasn't happened, but that's also because I don't cook/bake, lol. I've burned myself accidentally other ways.

Do you think seeing a gay/lesbian couple in public is gross? No not at all.

Have you ever made out in your room? Last time? Yeah but it's been like 5 or 6 years, basically not since my last relationship.

Don’t you just hate running into people you know? It depends. There are people I'd genuinely say hi to, and others I wish I could avoid.

Who is the last person that disappointed you? I don't feel disappointed by people lately anymore... I feel this more frequently with, like, scenarios. Like how I was disappointed with how badly BTS Festa was organized this year! OMG I went to Day 1 and we spent around 3.5 hours in line, only to spend ~45 minutes inside since the entire place was full of fucking lines anyway + by the time we got in, all the booths were about to close.

I heard Day 2 was much more organized which just makes me annoyed, and all in all I left with the impression that Festa is probably just overhyped and I'm not sure I want to repeat it again any time soon :(

Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom? More than once yeah absolutely.

What are you going to have for dinner tonight? I'm not sure yet.

Do you think the last person you kissed cares about you? No, I don't even know his name lmao.

Have you ever sold your old clothes instead of donating them? Nope.

Does your favorite mall have more than one floor? All malls here as far as I know have at least two floors.

Do you have a crazy aunt? Little bit, yeah. She has a strong personality that has definitely crossed the border of 'crazy' in the past.

Do you like family get togethers? I do like them because it means I get to have lots of food lol. Catching up with relatives is a bonus but really, I get the most stoked about the food hahahaha.

Have you ever been to an art museum? Lots.

Would you kiss the last guy/girl that texted you? I can't remember who texted me last but I'll go ahead and say no.

Have you ever injured yourself while you were under the influence of alcohol? I have actually. I missed a stair step and sprained my ankle. A night supposedly for bar-hopping ended up with my friends having to nurse my foot, so in exchange I let them make fun of me and take photos/videos of me the entire evening lol.

Will you talk to the person you love/like tonight? I'm not involved with anyone romantically.

Are you still with the person you fell hardest for? If not, do you ever miss them? No. No.

Do you think you’ll kiss someone tonight? Nope.

Have you ever kissed anyone with the last name Jones? As far as I know, no.

Is it possible to be ‘in love’ with someone, if they don’t love you back? Yes, it's happened to me.

How many times have you cried in the past week? So many times lmao, it's been an emotional last few days. Just to share, I actually just got back from South Korea – it served both as a trip I've been planning for the last three years; but also as a promise to BTS that I will be in Korea the day they come back as 7. The whole trip was bound to be tear-filled from the start lmao, and it was.

I definitely cried a few times but I think the most notable ones were when I went to Festa and they did the Mikrokosmos light show with all the ARMY bombs (6/13) + when Hobi cried during HOTS Finale Day 2, which was the show I went to (6/14). I also cried yesterday because it was the day of Yoongi's discharge and I didn't expect him to pen such a sweet and poignant letter on Weverse lol.

If you could have one wish right now, what would it be? To earn my money back because goddamn Seoul is a black hole of CONSUMERISM

[purplesurveys]

1999

Do you keep notes, drawings or letters that people give you? I definitely hoard, yup.

Have you ever been locked in a car with a significant other? Like, if they've kept me inside on purpose? No.

Have you had a significant other that you never kissed? No.

How many true best friends are present in your life? 2.

Do you currently have a significant other? Nope.

Would you ever sacrifice anything for someone you care about? The circle of people who fits this category is extremely small, but sure.

Do your parents approve of the people you hang out with? For the most part. They just aren't too keen Reena tbh.

Would you be able to stand being in the same room as someone you hate? Probably not. I mean I could I guess... but my face would have subtitles on them the whole time? haha I'm not exactly the best at tucking my feelings away.

Do you depend on people at all, in any way? I can, yeah.

Have you ever lost a close friend? Sure. 

Has anybody ever held a grudge against you for a dumb reason? Probably. I am the same too.

Has anybody ever dated you only for your looks? I don't think so.

Have you ever stayed up late talking to someone you like on the phone or online? Yes.

Do your parents let you date, or do you sneak around? They were stricter around the time I was actually dating (since I was still in school), so that relationship I had to keep secret. Now that I'm 27 and happily single they're pushing me to date and get married, lol.

Have you ever felt backstabbed by a close friend? Yes and it's happened.

Do you have any handshakes with anybody? No.

Have you ever regretted ignoring anybody? No. If I ignore someone there must be a reason behind it.

Has a friend of yours ever confessed their love to you? Yeah, after I did it first. Which was a huge gamble on my end, really; I knew me confessing could've either started a relationship or destroyed the friendship. It turned out the feelings were returned so we ended up being together 6 years.

(The friendship did get destroyed in the end when we broke up though so we ended up going through both outcomes lol)

Have you gone out with someone, then ruined the friendship you had before? ^ Oh, yeah well there you go then.

Can you trust any of your friends at full capacity? Just Angela and Andi, tbh.

Is the word ‘love’ even in your vocabulary? Yes.

Have you written or drawn anything for somebody else? I've written letters to people but nothing more than that.

Do you tend to hide your emotions from certain people? How do you hide them? Yeah. Idk what you mean by 'how,' I mean I just try to look nonchalant as best I can hahaha.

Do you have any pictures of yourself with the person you like? I don't like anybody.

Do your friends know how to make you smile in tough times? Only a few know their way around.

[purplesurveys]

1998

What is something of which you need more in your life? A few weeks ago I would have said a safe space and more people to talk to. Up until very recently I've actually been feeling quite lost, with me being stuck in a routine of Tumblr / Reddit / the same 5 videos on YouTube. I'd go so far as to call it another bout of depression since I had really felt low and it sucked all the more because I felt the harshness of having nobody to talk to.

Then around the end of March I decided I would try making Twitter my safe space again and it worked and I'm really happy about it omg. I started a fan account for GD/Bigbang and it's been such a freeing outlet where I can let my hair down and enjoy content and fan art as much as I want. I've made new friends and I laugh more...I have nothing more to ask for, haha. What I also learned is Twitter will for the most part only be as toxic as the world you form in it; so I've made very conscious decisions about who to let in my circle so that I don't cross the nasty, stan-y, cliquish side of things. In other words, I'm really just there to have fun and mind my own business.

Do you tend to view your existence as more pleasant or unpleasant? Pleasant. The only thing I hate about life is my job anyway.

Is there anything you do which would be considered unhealthy? Sure. Vaping, skipping meals, having so very few hours of sleep every night, never eating fruits... I'm not exactly the poster child for health.

Would you say that you are an introspective being? Just sometimes, I guess, but I don't think it's a main trait of mine.

Which aspect of your daily routine takes the most time? What do you do? Oh the commute definitely, on days when I need to physically report to client meetings or brand events and such. I don't travel everyday so the 'daily' in the question doesn't really apply, but still – it can take me anywhere between 1.5 - 2.5 hours to get home (vs the 30-45 minutes it would take on a Sunday/holiday).

Now imagine that 1.5 - 2.5 hours times two, since it's the same traffic to and from.

Do you enjoy buying gifts for others, or could you do without this? I never buy gifts for people unless it was Christmas. I'm not that... attached to anybody, tbh.

I imagine doing non-Christmas gift-shopping only for a significant other since I do get pretty devoted in a relationship; but it's also been a while since I've been in one and don't plan to be anymore.

What is one thing you are expected to do, if anything? I know my parents are looking forward to me having my own place. I'm grateful that they don't pressure me though.

How do you tend to view driving? Monotonous or entertaining? Oh are you kidding I love driving, I find it super therapeutic. Just you, the road, and your music? GLORIOUS. If this country just didn't have the worst traffic ever and wasn't packed with stupid one-braincell drivers, I'd drive all the time.

When was the last time you ate a great deal of food in one sitting? Just this evening I took myself out on a date and ordered more than I could take at Yabu, lmao. I took a portion of it to-go and am eating it right now as I take this.

When was the last time you went without eating for whatever reason? Earlier today I skipped breakfast and lunch because work was stressing me out, and when I get stressed I prefer not to eat.

What colors are the most prevalent in your wardrobe? Black and white still dominate but I've been trying to add a pop of color just so I don't look blah.

How has this changed from when you were younger, if it has? Back then it was just all black, lol.

What is something people tend to assume about you? It's a bit trivial but more than one conversation has occurred where I had to clarify with people that I don't and never workout, and that I hate exercising. Honestly, I view it as a compliment.

Do you enjoy talking about music with others? No.

What are some of your favorite conversational topics? Current events, travel, celebrities are some of what I can think of.

When was the last time you pretended to be someone other than yourself? I don't really do this.

Is acting something you enjoy? No.

Are you convincing? I think sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not. It depends on what exactly I'm 'defending.'

Are you capable of singing in front of others? No that sounds errifying.

When was the last time you could not do something you wanted to do? 2 weeks ago when I wanted to buy Übermensch merch but GD's merch booth said NOPE

What are some of your favorite summer-related activities? I don't really 'observe' summer I am usually swamped with work anyway to focus on anything else.

Are you generally happier in the summer or the winter? Continued from a couple of days ago! Not relevant to me, I've never experienced winter before.

Do you watch any anime? If so, what genre(s) do you appreciate? The only one I tuned into regularly at some point was Pokemon, so no not really.

What is something you do to calm yourself down when you are nervous? I like either going to the dogs or picking one of the handful YouTube videos I typically watch on repeat, aka going for a comfort watch. Much much rarely but it does happen - I'll curl up and take a nap.

Who was the last person to do something kind for you? I'm sure this wasn't the last occurrence because it's been 2 weeks, but Jazz giving us water while we were waiting for the GD queueing to start still stands out a lot to me. Girl just stood up, walked away for around 10 minutes and got back with bottled water she bought for all of us. I guess I'm surprised because tbh/ngl I'm usually the one who does that for people, and I've never experienced it being done for me before.

How inclined are you to help others? Do you do this frequently? Pretty inclined. I'm a major people pleaser.

What kind of impact does the weather have on your mood? It's been a while since it influenced my mood tbh! Before, though, the rain used to make me feel a bit happier and safer. It doesn't have that strong of an effect on me now but I still like the rain.

What is one aspect of the future that worries you, if any? The inevitable death of people. I do not do well with loss.

Do you prefer to keep a clean workspace, or are you somewhat messy? CLEAN

Do you find it easy or difficult to talk about yourself? It depends on the topic; this is a very broad question.

When do you feel most accomplished? I am pretty direct and determined with my goals/what I want, so if I actually reach them that's when I feel the "I made it"-ness of things the most.

When was the last time you felt like a failure? Most of 2024 felt like this because I really felt that my team hated me and I was still struggling with it because I couldn't understand why – I was doing nothing but trying my best.

I have a better perspective on things now that it's 2025 and I could see just how hard I worked without a superior, without guidance last year...how many accounts I won just on my own efforts because everyone else was either resigning or burning out...how much it was me who kept the team afloat when everything was burning down... I laugh now when I think of people not liking me last year because they have no idea how much I had to carry. All this to say, I'm in a much better place now mentally and I can more easily adapt to the mindset that if people find themselves at odds with me, that's not my problem.

Do you have a tendency to be irrational, or are you more realistic? I stay realistic as much as I can. I can tend to be irrational, but I am also pretty self-aware and Hate Being Wrong, so when I sense myself starting to become irrational I usually try to snap out of it so I can stop being on the wrong side of things LOL if that makes sense.

When was the last time you had a bit of a meltdown, and what caused it? It's been a while. I swear, the moment I stopped tying my self-worth to work, I've never been better. Last meltdown must have been sometime late last year or something.

What were you doing the last time you went outside? We picked up my dad from the airport and we had dinner out.

What portion of your day is typically spent out-of-doors? If I do have an F2F day, it's usually during the afternoon for work meetings.

What is a trait of yours that would annoy you if it were in another person? Being a horrible replier.

When was the last time you felt exceptionally relaxed? The morning of the day before GD con. I filed a leave that day and it was just so FREEEEEEEEING to have a leave and to actually respect my leave by actually not working (since I usually do). Granted it was a full-on errands day – I had a bleach/dye hair appointment, I needed to look for a bag, I had a threading appointment, had to buy batteries and so so much more preps for the con lol – but I'd still count it relaxing since it was all toward what was going to be a really fun day.

1997

If you could build a second house anywhere, where would it be? I'm not looking for a house, but an apartment in BGC would be nice as I've always wanted to live there.

What are your favorite articles of clothing? I thrifted this entireeeee family of striped sweatshirts last month and I can't stop wearing them and layering them and just having my fun with them. I'm literally wearing one of them right now haha; I wore it out to take the dogs to the vet.

The last CD you bought or downloaded? My Übermensch albums finally arrived after some hiccups in stocks! I got 3 versions for now, but I plan to get the rest (I'm still missing around 10 or 11) in Korea when I fly there next month.

What time do you generally wake up in the morning? These days it ranges from around 5:45 AM to 7:30 AM.

What is your favorite kitchen appliance? My Nespresso machine.

If you could play an instrument, what would it be? The piano.

What is your favorite color? I'm loving teal these days :)

Do you believe in the afterlife? It's a comforting thought that I don't mind placing belief in to give me peace of mind or hope.

Your favorite children’s book? I have memories of rereading Corduroy more times than I could count.

If you have a tattoo, what is it? I don't have any!

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Time travel would be nice.

Can you juggle? Nope.

What is your favorite meal? I'll always be excited about sushi or tonkatsu.

When is your birthday? April Fools Day. < This, but make it 20 days later.

Describe your ideal weather? Somewhere around the 22-24ºC range I find most pleasant, since it just feels like being in an airconditioned room and is not too cold that I start to feel miserable.

What is your favorite ice cream? If you mean flavors, I like cookies and cream the most. Cheese is also good :)

What is your favorite breakfast? Garlic rice with bacon, eggs, and hotdogs :) UGHHH YUM

What would be your dream job? I'd love to be on the PR team of brands or celebrities I admire. I work in the industry as it is but it would be so cool to actually apply my expertise to what makes me excited and to what I already have a lot of ideas for.

What is your job now? I'm a director in a PR agency.

Do you like your job? It's fine but I am very burned out. My spark for it definitely hasn't been at 100% for a while. But I am good at it and it's what pays for the lifestyle I want lol, so I stay.

After you retire where would ideally like to live? I haven't given this much thought, but my headspace now tells me I want to keep living in the city so that I still have easy access to the things I want and need.

Where did you meet your spouse or significant other?

Bonus: something you’d like to do that you’ve never done before? Travel abroad solo.

[purplesurveys]

1996

Is there anyone at your work that you want to just deck in the face? Sometimes I get the urge to like, shake people's shoulders if they're being slow where they really shouldn't be at this stage in our careers lol, but decking someone just seems so violent haha? That's a no for me.

Last thing you drank? Just the last of my coffee.

Last thing that pissed you off? They're always somewhat related to work and isn't worth looking back on anymore by the time I get here.

Last thing that made you feel better? I haven't had to 'feel better' in a while, but the last thing that made me feel happy or excited in general was my Peaceminusone highball cans finally getting shipped to my place yesterday! The can design is SO pretty I couldn't help but order even if 1) it's perishable and 2) it needed to come all the way from Korea; the alcohol is just a bonus but tbh it also tastes very good!

Something you did differently today that wasn't so bad? I slept in much later. I just woke up and it's 12 NN on the dot.

Last plans that were ruined because of things you can't control? I planned to order a lot - A LOT!!! - of merch during G-Dragon's PH stop last weekend partly because I wanted the photocard rewards you get once you hit 8k on your receipt lol... but the merch booth was very poorly handled and there was just too many people that the massive line already snaked all around the lobby.

My friend managed to sneak in and get me the lightstick cradle which I'm super stoked about, but I still wanted a bunch of other stuff and was willing to pay for them haha. :(

How old are you? I'm 27.

Someone's YouTube that annoys the crap out of you? I don't keep stuff I find annoying on my feed, lol.

You are lucky because? Money isn't a thing I have to worry about.

What kind of jeans are you favorite? I recently thrifted these jeans that are high-waist and SUPER narrow at the waist area then goes increasingly baggy the more you go down. I'm obsessed with how they fit on me and I wish I could wear it everyday if I could hahaha.

Pale or tan, which would you rather be? I'm already tan and don't feel the need to be anything else.

What if you were drastically what you'd rather be overnight? I'm not looking to be anything or anyone else, so I dunno what will change tbh.

What about kids on leashes? What do you think about that? I'm not a parent and have never seen a kid leash in real life so I'm nowhere near being the right person to talk about this.

What lip balm do you use to keep your lips moist? I use that EOS sphere kind that I got as a gift.

How many piercings have you had, BESIDES ears? Which are those? Ears are all I've got.

New tats in your near future? How about piercings or re-piercings? Nope and nope.

Who would you like to hang out with? The friends I gained from the GD concert :( I love them SO much and they're all such lovely people. Unfortunately it seems as though only one is from the city; the rest are from far up north so hangouts will be pretty hard to schedule unless there'll be another concert.

Next new thing you are wanting to try? Oh man I feel like May has already BEEN the month of trying out a lot of new things for the very first time that I kind of just want to sit back and relax for the rest of it. The last few weeks have been so eventful in the most exciting, wonderful way possible and I couldn't be more grateful!!! I'm so glad GD led me down this path :')

Would you wear short shorts, long socks and converse? I used to do that before when I'd dress up as AJ Lee.

Closely enough, this is very similar to the outfit I wore for GD con - I had bedazzled jorts, long socks, and my Paranoise 3.0.

Do converse look/feel uncomfortable to you? No, I had a few pairs years ago and liked them.

Thing that bothers you? The Parasocial will be Parasocialising in my answer, but I just can't help but feel a bit of PCD from the concert! Seeing Ji was such a thrill, knowing how much and how long it took for him to come back; and witnessing him do all his best songs live IN FRONT OF ME gave me a level of catharsis I've never felt before. I was in shock and barely said a word after the show as I was just so amazed. The production value also showed an insane amount of passion and artistry I've never seen in other artists (and I've been to my share of K-pop cons).

And now it's gone and it has been for 7 days and I miss him, lmao.

Do you believe that you can feel energy from others from their thoughts? No, I don't really think about things in these terms.

Would you ever visit a psychic medium? If you would, what would you wanna know? No.

Are some days a waste of makeup? For me makeup is never a waste haha. If you feel good in it, no matter how briefly you're actually outside, it's done its job.

Would you buy a Coach bag? Probably not. I don't hate Coach, I'd just rather have other brands.

[purplesurveys]

1995

Have you ever been to Las Vegas?   Nope.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Just half of an egg sandwich. I was planning to eat loads for lunch since it was going to be my birthday eve celebration, so I intentionally didn't eat a lot for breakfast.

Do you have any loose change in your pocket?     In what's actually a pretty rare thing, I don't have pockets at the moment haha.

Do you like Taylor Swift?   Nope.

What’s your favorite Disney Channel movie?     High School Musical :)

If you met your favorite celebrity, would you be calm or star struck?     I mean I kinda met J-Hope and my reaction was everything I expected it to be: I couldn't look at him dead in the eye and I stayed frozen/mostly silent. LOL. That said, starstruck is the most accurate answer.

Are there any lights on in the room you’re in?     Yeah, my main light is turned on for a change. I don't want to fall asleep yet, so I need to keep everything bright.

What’s your favorite subject in school?  My favorite was always history. :) Though in my elementary years when history wasn't yet incorporated in my curriculum, I liked language best because it was just basic English grammar and vocab and gave me easy 100s.

What’s your favorite holiday?     New Year's! I like that it's not tied to religion lol, but also the 'fresh start' vibe it gives everybody. The parties are also always just so fun.

Do you ever have to do yard work?     The closest would be, like, having to pull out weeds in our backyard when we didn't have the place paved yet.

Is your school close to your house?     Idk how would you define close? I'd say it was, though -- speaking solely for where I went to college. It was like a good 6-7km away, which was bearable enough of a drive for me.

I can't really say the same for my elementary/high school, which was well on the other side of the city + it was a daily drive up a literal MOUNTAIN. The commute was admittedly draining, considering I did it 5 days a week, 14 years straight.

Speaking of school, how did you get there today?     I haven't been in school since 2020.

Do you think Bad Romance is a catchy song, or an annoying one?     SUCH a catchy, great song. It was very fresh for its time and it makes it easily understandable why Gaga just immediately blew up the way she did. To this day I'd mark out if I ever heard the song out in public, haha.

Are you currently using a laptop?     Yeah, I also exclusively use a laptop when taking these.

Do you have any live versions of songs in your music software?     I don't consume music like this anymore, i.e. buying or saving albums to have them in my library...I use Spotify where I can easily access the albums I want to listen to, including live ones.

Did/do you listen to Britney Spears songs?     I do listen to her sometimes especially if I turn on a 90s/00s playlist, but I don't think I've ever sought her out specifically.

Is it a windy day?     I mean there was wind here and there but all it did was blow hot and humid air our way. Not very helpful.

In the past week, have you ridden in a taxi?     No. It's been years since my last taxi ride in the Philippines. I did hail taxis a couple of times in Japan back in January, though. Mainly because I knew their drivers were going to be honest and polite and will not at all rip me off lol.

What shorthand do you use the most?     Quite a lot. lol, lmao, ngl, tbh, iykwim, icymi, fyi, fyr are just select ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure I use a few more.

Do you ever wish on stars at night?     Sometimes, if I'm feeling childlike/romantic.

What color are your eyes?   They're brown, but very dark brown that they nearly appear as black.

What album is the current song you’re listening to off of?     It's an album called Coup d'Etat, by G-Dragon. It's one of my favorites :) Not a single miss.

What are you doing after you finish this?     I'll continue trying to figure out what I can delete from my phone to free up storage. I'm already transferring gigabytes' worth of stuff at the moment to my Google Drive, but I do feel like this'll last me the entire evening (2:20 AM as we speak...) so I'm fully locked in.

Reason why I'm doing this is my mom surprised me with an Apple Watch just this midnight for my birthday, but apparently I can't link it to my phone unless I've had the latter updated to iOS 18 -- which I haven't been able to do because STORAGE and because I'm TERRIBLE at backing up my files. Anyway so now I'm like mass-transferring videos to my Drive and deleting 4 years' worth of photos I've been hoarding but never look at anyway and hoping this'll be enough. I'm SO excited about this fucking watch so I'm just frustrated that the surprise was a bit anticlimactic for me all because I'm LOCKED OUT FROM MY OWN WATCH HAHAHAHAHA

In your opinion, what song is the most overplayed right now?     For a very long time it was APT, so I'm glad that kind of stopped now. I don't think anything's super overplayed at the moment.

Are you in a band?     Nope.

How clean is your bedroom?     Enough for me not to feel antsy about it.

Is there a pen within reaching distance of you?     I don't think so, nope.

Are you sitting at a desk?     Yessir.

Does your favorite band have a male or female lead singer?   Female.

Do you normally shut your bedroom door before you go to sleep?     Yes, but then again my door is always closed as I prefer it to be.

Have you seen the movie Moulin Rouge?     No.

Would you ever dye your hair a different color?     I would and I have. I've gone with ash brown; then purple around 3 or 4 times at this point; then brown; then red. I'm definitely dyeing it a new color next month since I'll be at another concert, but I'm still torn between orange or teal.

Are there any framed pictures in the room you’re in?     Yes.

Have you ever been to a Broadway show?     Not at Broadway, but I've been to a musical production if that counts as anything lol. I watched Miss Saigon last year.

What’s your favorite movie soundtrack?     Continued from...man, who knows. A week and a half ago I think? I will always swear by the Twilight Saga: New Moon OST.

Do you prefer group or individual work?     It depends on the work. If the work is heavy on my strengths then I could get by alone. Then obviously I'd feel the opposite if I'll need to do something I'm not particularly good or confident at.

Do you have a key to anything besides your house?     My car.

Are you wearing anything with stripes?   Yes, my top has stripes!

What time did you go to sleep last night?     I have no idea- it must have been anywhere between 3 to 5 AM.

Did anyone tell you you were beautiful today?     Nope.

What show did you last watch?     When Life Gives You Tangerines. I don't think I will continue it though... 16 episodes for a K-drama is too long for me.

Do you think you’ll do anymore surveys today?     I always say I will then I end up not touching this blog again for another week or so, so probably not.

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?     Cookies and cream :)

When was the last time you stayed home from school sick?     *Work, but 2023 when I was out with a really really high fever. It had just been a little under a month since I recovered from Covid, so falling sick again almost immediately had been equal parts worrying, frustrating, and amusing.

Could you ever complete a 500-piece puzzle?     I did but it was done with someone else. Not sure I'd have the patience to complete one all by myself.

If you could run a red light and not get caught, would you?     Never.

Do any bands flat-out annoy you?     There are some K-pop groups that do lol

Do you have a mirror in your bedroom?   Yup.

Was today a birthday for any of your friends?     No.

When was the last time you rode in a limo?     I've never been inside one.

Do you take naps daily?     I don't.

Do you still make Christmas lists? I mean I start an Excel sheet so I don't lose track of 1) who to get gifts for, and 2) what gift to get them - if that's what you mean by list. I don't make wishlists of what I want as gifts though.

Do you watch the show Dexter?     I started it many many years ago but it just could not reel me in. Then again I heard the finale sucked? or like the final season or whatever it was? so I don't feel any fomo about never completing it.

Have you ever been to any sort of convention?     I went to the very first YouTube Fanfest in Manila when YouTubers were still a thing - it was I think in 2015 and the Jaspoli trio were at their absolute prime and came in as the headliners.

I've also attended a few conventions for work but I don't feel like getting into them because duh work and I was barely interested in them.

Which song did you last listen to on repeat?     Probably Untitled, 2014 by GD -- I listen to it multiple times a day and I'm pretty sure it will easily take the cake of my most-listened-track in my future Spotify Wrapped.

Where do you want to live when you grow up?     The city.

Are you currently using a blanket?     I have no use for one at the moment.

Are there any songs that make you cry?  There isn't a song that makes me cry every time I hear it, but yeah I can think of a couple that can very easily get me caught up in my feelings and have my chest feeling constricted and heavy. One is We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal by BTS; the other is First Love by Suga.

Still Life by Bigbang is also the newest member of the club.

How many siblings do you have?     Two.

What are you doing this weekend?     I'll need to hyperfocus on making the bracelets I'm giving out as concert freebies because GD's con is just a little over 2 weeks from now and I'm planning to handmake 88 pieces!

Do you prefer swimming at the beach or in a pool?     Beach, always.

When was the last time you had a haircut?     Around 3 weeks ago, for Hobi's con.

Which musical instrument do you think sounds the prettiest?     I can never pick among piano, saxophone, and violin.

Do you know what you want for Christmas?     I have an idea haha but nothing too specific!

Do you watch fireworks on New Year’s Eve?     Yes, it's always been a family tradition.

Is your birthday within the next three months?     No, it just passed.

How long is the song you’re listening to?     3:19.

Are you anticipating anything this week?     Just for me to get tired because of work...

Is your mom or dad the older parent?     Dad is but only by 8 months - they were born in the same year.

Do you watch anything on E!?     I used to when I was younger but does that channel still even exist? Hahaha I'd have no clue tbh I exclusively use apps on the TV now.

Are you going to get off the computer now that you’ve finished this? Yeahhh, I'll need to start making more bracelets. :)

1994

The last time you were at a diner, what did you order? Diners are extremely uncommon here. Can I just talk about the last restaurant in general I ate at? Haha it was at this Italian restaurant that had to be all fancy shmancy since I was eating with Leah -- she ordered this pizza chock-full with anchovies and olives (SO SALTY), and calamari. She also had me try this cake made of like egg whites iirc, which was good.

Do you usually buy souvenirs when you go to amusement parks? No - I have yet to encounter an amusement park where the souvenirs were fairly/moderately priced, lol. The photos I take and the ticket/s I have are the souvenirs I take home.

When you last watched a movie, did you watch it alone or with someone? Not so sure about movies since I barely watch them anymore; but early this afternoon my sister, mom, and I started watching When Life Gives You Tangerines.

Are you happy with your weight? Sure.

What’s the dress code for your job? Do you like it?: I mean I work in PR/marketing so the vibe is very Gen Z lol, that is to say I'm glad there's not much of a dress code and that we're for the most part free to express ourselves. People come in with like blonde or pink or neon green hair, tattoos aren't banned, and we can pretty much treat the office like a fashion runway haha.

There's stuff that are discouraged - the usual stuff like tank tops, anything too tight or revealing, any offensive print; though it's a much shorter list than the articles we are allowed to wear.

Does your job allow piercings or tattoos? Yes.

How often do you wash your hair? Up until recently it was everyday, but I've just dyed my hair red and want it to last as long as I can so I've fallen into the temporary habit of washing it just every other day, 2 days at most.

I imagine this was last til June since I'm planning to dye my hair yet another color for GD's concert in May.

Do you want to get married? If so, what color will your dress be? No. In theory, if I were to get married, I wouldn't go for any other color than white. I'm a bit of a stickler for tradition so if I were told that I needed to ditch the white I might lose my mind lol

Ever had a caricature done of yourself? How much was it, and were you satisfied with it? Nope. Not really my style tbh.

Do you like peanut butter and fluff sandwiches? That sounds so painful to the throat.

Last color you painted your nails? I have press-ons right now, but its color scheme is teal-pink-red-black - I had this set custom-made for Hobi's concert last weekend.

Last time you got a hair cut? 2 weeks ago - I went ahead and got a trim same time I got my hair dyed.

When you want to buy coffee, where do you go? Starbucks.

What are some things you like fashion-wise that most people don’t? I don't see a lot of people wearing stripes ever, but I'm obsessed. Bandanas, too - though these days I wear them as scarves rather than on my head.

What are some trends you dislike that everyone seems to love? Continued from Friday, I think? Or yesterday. TikTok, Taylor Swift, Labubu, dancing workshops (cannot pay me enough for me to enroll in a class).

Ever been to Gaia Online? Do you have an account?: I heard about it frequently during the Internet Explorer era lol but never made an account nor checked it out.

Where can you usually be found on a Friday night? Probably at home. The very nature of my M-F work already revolves around socializing and putting on a smile and a cheery voice toward EVERYBODY so by the end of it all I just would want to rip that mask off and excitedly rot on the couch/in bed.

If not at home, I'm probably out running OR was asked out for dinner by my best friends.

What do you think of underage drinking?: I grew around alcohol and alcoholism in the family so this sounds incredibly reckless to me and only flares up the alcohol-related trauma and anxiety I've worked very hard to bury.

What’s your relationship status? Are you happy with it? I'm single and I'd rather not have it any other way.

If you got married and then got divorced, would you want to re-marry? This seems like one of those situations where I would never know the answer unless I'm in the eye of the storm already. That said, I dunno... I guess I wouldn't want to, coming from my very own experience going through a breakup an entire half-decade ago and refusing to jump back into the dating scene again since.

If you could dye your hair any color right now with absolutely no restrictions, what color would you dye it? I already plan on going orange this May for a concert, so I guess it'd be cool to have it on now if I could so I can see if it'll suit me.

What shoes do you usually wear in the summer?: I'm almost always in sneakers.

What’s your favorite amusement park? I don't really like themmmmmm haha I can't ride anything!

Do you like rollercoasters? Nope. I've tried, but I just can't.

How old are your siblings? 24 and 22.

Would you ever enlist in the army? Probably not.

Are you afraid of public restrooms? Afraid's probably not the right term - more of grossed out, I'd say. In any case, I avoid public restrooms unless it's an absolute emergency.

How often do you use lotion? At least once a day.

Do you play video games? If so, what kind? I haven't played in years, but if you catch me glued to a video game it is probably Mario Kart heh. It's the only one I can play...

Do you donate your old stuff to Goodwill? Idk what that is but yeah most of my old stuff ends up either getting donated or as hand-me-downs.

Would you buy used clothes? I started to, this year! I thrifted for the first time earlier this month and am worse than hooked lol. I ended up with bags and bags and BAGS of stuff. I'll be doing this for a very long time now hahaha

Do you wear jeans? I do. I'm wearing a pair now actually lol.

How many hours do you usually work a week? 40 and I try to keep it that way.

How old were you in 1999?: 1.

Last time you were at a job interview? How did it go? It went well, but the lady was in such a rush that it had me flustered at the start. At some point I got her groove so I gave her the short and sweet answers she was likely looking for, which seemed to help because I ended up getting into the next stage with them.

What’s one place you’d NEVER want to work at? Call center. I cannot! deal with angry people.

How many kids would you want? I used to want 2 or 3, but it's not happening for me anymore.

Do you wear lipstick? If so, what color? Yes, my current one is a burgundy/maroonish shade.

Do you use Tumblr? What do you normally post?: Uh - sure! I do these things, heh.

How often do you wear skirts? Maybe like 1 or 2 times a year. I really never do lol, but there'll be very rare cases I'll have an outfit that best calls for a skirt and I'll end up borrowing one from my sister.

Was your first Green Day album American Idiot? I never owned an album of theirs.

Do you get paid weekly or bi-weekly? Bi-weekly.

Are you in a relationship? If so, how long? No.

Who in your family has a birthday in January? My dad.

When was the last time you lost power? How long was it out and the cause? Ooh we had a weird random brownout like 2 weeks ago. No idea what the cause was but it made me get kicked out of a meeting that was supposed to be important, lol.

Have you ever been skinny dipping? No.

Sprinkles or frosting? Frosting, especially if it's made well/from scratch. I'm a little particular about frosting because most of the time they just taste super generic and cheap, like it just came from some supplier and they had no initiative to improve on it or whatever. But if it's made from scratch and actually tastes like what it's meant to taste like vs just a sugary thing, it really adds a lot to the dessert.

Do you like mushrooms? LOVE mushrooms.

How many tattoos do you have? 0.

Do you own any type of hand sanitizers? Sure.

Have you ever worked in a grocery store? I have not.

What’s your Subway order? I've never had a Subway sandwich. Sorry it doesn't really look appetizing for me lol

Have you ever cut yourself shaving? Many times!

Penguins or pandas? Penguins.

[purplesurveys]

1992

Will you be single over winter? I wouldn't know how winter is like lol, but yes, I will.

Are you mad at anyone right now? A while ago I was, but I'm trying to get over it now. This is one of the distractions I'm taking in order to do so.

Where do you wanna live when you grow up? I'm already 'grown up,' but I still have a goal of living in BGC.

Are you wearing jeans, shorts, sweatpants, or pajama pants? Jeans.

Would you get married if you could right now? Pass.

Do you consider yourself spoiled? Maybe the more apt word would be 'privileged' - referring to that term, yes, I am. Very much so. I feel guilty and grateful about it.

Do you get annoyed when you see someone you don’t like? Little bit, yeah, lol.

Could you see yourself dropping out of high school? I did not do that.

Is there anyone you want to see right now? I'm good, thanks. I was out all day so I'm now savoring my time back inside my room.

What were you doing 12 a.m. last night? Fighting off sleep and doing TERRIBLY at it, lol. I was watching TV downstairs and can still remember how my head kept lolling forward because I was starting to fall asleep.

Would you go out in public looking like you do now? Yes.

Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now? Nopes.

How was your weekend? Very productive and very fun! I got my hair dyed, bought new clothes, ran the errands I told myself I'd do...and still felt relaxed at the end of it. I really liked it.

What are you looking forward to? Seeing Hobi this weekend. :) And seeing the happiness in Angela's face when she sees him, too -- for context, I originally had tickets to see Hobi two days straight.

As of yesterday, I gave up my Saturday ticket to Angela so all 3 of us (myself, Reena, and Angela) can watch him. She was the only one who didn't get tickets during the initial drop. Nobody gets left out in our friendship. :) It's just eeeeeeeverrrrrrrrr so remotely bittersweet - partly because I'm not expecting to be paid back LOLOLOL - but the fact that I don't regret it at all is all the answer I need.

How did you feel when you woke up today? Relief, both because it was a holiday + also because I remembered how DROWSY I was the night before and how much I was fighting off sleep until I just gave in hahaha.

Have you ever had a best friend who was of the opposite sex? Nope.

What time did you go to sleep last night? 12 AM? 1 AM? I can't remember. I was so tired.

[purplesurveys]

1991

Do you wear a ring on your finger? I don't.

What are you doing?  I'm taking this as a way to wait for my phone to have enough charge since I want to be able to use it in (my loft) bed before going to sleep. I also just came back to my room after spending the last hour and a half watching the new episode of Good Day.

Do you listen to your friends’ advice when they give it to you?  I do for the most part since I'm clueless and lost about Everything, but I also let them know if I plan to do something else and list down my reasons for doing so just so they know where I'm coming from.

What’s the last kind of soup you ate?  Almondigas.

Do you currently have a sunburn?  No.

Could you eat nothing but grilled cheese for a week straight?  I'm fairly confident that I could, and that I would be ecstatic about it too lol.

Have you ever thought about getting your nose pierced? I've thought about it especially as a teenager when I still thought I was going to load myself with piercings and tattoos, hahaha. I don't entertain the thought anymore.

Has anyone hurt or betrayed you recently?  Yes.

Is your last ex still someone you care about? Do you still have feelings for your ex? No.

Are you someone’s best friend?  I like to think so, yes.

Biggest annoyance in your life right now?  I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep and be in bed but I need to charge my phone a little bit more since there's no plug anywhere near my bed lol

Have you spoken to your mother today?  Yes.

Do you have any tattoo / piercings?  I just have my earlobe piercings, that's it.

Latest you stayed up in the past week?  Around 1 AM. Not too late anymore, but I've also been having a (not the healthiest) habit of waking up stupid early for no reason – I've been waking up at 4 AM for the last how many consecutive days already and will seem to be my body clock's usual for the time being.

Be honest, do you miss anyone?  Not anyone...but I just miss the weekend already, haha. 

What are your plans for tonight?  The 'night' is pretty much over - it's 12:30 AM on a Monday morning - and all that's left for me to do is to sleep before another work week does its best attempt to kill me.

Will tomorrow be better than today? Nah, today was a good day and everything by default is better than Monday. Anyway, today's wins include me getting new clothes, eating my favorite street food, taking the dogs to the vet, seeing TOP go online after 5 million years to like a single Instagram post, and watching Good Day.

Are you the youngest person living in your house?  Nope, I'm the second eldest just after my mom. If my dad is home, I'd be third eldest.

Do you think you will be in a relationship three months from now?  No.

Do you know anyone that smokes weed?  This is 200% a yes even though I wouldn't be able to name names. I just know it's impossible to NOT know someone who hasn't done it.

When did you last eat pizza?  Less than a week ago, eating the last of our Yellow Cab leftovers.

Do you like your hair?  Continued from Sunday. I love it. I didn't expect red to suit me a lot. I'm dreading the day I'll need to wash my hair already because I don't want it to start fading away, lol.

Have you graduated from high school?  Omg yes, it will be 9 years since this year.

Do you ever leave the house without make up on?  Rarely anymore. But today I actually did (leave the house without), for the first time in AGES. You picked the right time for this question hahah. I was just claiming concert tickets today at the mall so I didn't feel the need to put on makeup. I did put on a bucket hat though just so my face is mostly covered.

Do you expect to be married in the next two years?  Nope.

Did you receive a good morning text today?  Nah.

What’s most important in a relationship: honesty or trust?  I would say you definitely need honesty in order to have trust?  < Right? Hahaha.

Do you like to cuddle?  In theory, yeah.

What time did you wake up this morning?  Around 6 AM. 

What are you planning on doing after this survey? I would like to take another one, since I feel like de-stressing tonight. I'm just feeling a little down because today was supposed to be a non-working holiday and yet I worked all afternoon at a coffee shop.

Is your ”love life” complicated?  It's the least complicated thing in the world because there is none, and I don't feel the need to update that anytime soon.

What ruined your day today?  This girl who accused me of scalping for GD's ticket. I was? minding my own business? and she swooped in to doubt me for absolutely no reason? I really hate getting into nonsense arguments on social media, it gets me super anxious especially because I barely talk to anyone in the first place – so it becomes so much more frustrating when someone still has it in them to stir something up. Fans are crazy. LET ME ENJOY MY CHANCE TO SEE GD IN PEACE (minus one)

If you had to choose between a million dollars or to be able to change a regret, which would you chose?  Million dollars.

Where will you be 2 hours from now? In bed, most likely. I need to be at Rockwell by 8:30 AM tomorrow so it's another day of having to allot 2.5 hours just for travel and sleeping very early the night before...

Name the person that has honestly hurt you the most in life?  I haven't muttered their name in years and would like to keep my peace. :)

What were you doing at 8:00 a.m. this morning?  I think I was just watching reels, trying to wake up.

Have you kissed anyone with a tattoo before? No.

Why aren’t you in bed? Too early! It's not even 9 PM. Let me experience whatever holiday I have left, lol.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?  Just a pretty brutal work day because I will be going from Rockwell > BGC > Pasay. I can already predict that I'd just be going through the motions and will be hugely reserving my social battery, not really talking to anyone unless I'm prompted haha.

[purplesurveys]

1990

What do you usually order from Subway/Togo’s/another sandwich place? I just buy from like the same banh mi shop every time I want a sandwich lol; I get a classic banh mi from them. In general though I rarely seek out sandwiches because...idk, I find them too big and most of the time too messy to eat as well.

Have you ever talked about your period with a guy? Were they okay with it, or grossed out? It's very likely that I have. Most likely they were okay with it – I would have remembered them if they were grossed out by it.

Have you ever been to small/church/bible group/study (forced to or wanted to)? I've never been to Bible study and thank fuck I was never forced to join. My family are practicing Catholics, though, so we go to church every Sunday and I also attended Catholic school for 14 years. As an atheist, I got good at tuning everything out at some point.

In-N-Out, ever been there? If not, what’s a good burger place around your town? I've never been. But for burgers, I'd recommend Sweet Ecstasy.

How many people do you know with the name Ashley/Ashlee? Zero.

Have you ever been to an asian (any type) market? If so, what is the closest one to you? I dunno if this question is relevant to me because I'm Asian, live in Asia, and have easy access to Asian stuff at any market or grocery any time I want.

What would you do if the person you have feelings for showed up at your door? I'd just give a very basic "What are you doing here?"

Will you talk to the person you like tonight? Nope.

How would you feel if your significant other had tattoos?

Do you actually eat breakfast lunch and dinner everyday? I just eat dinner. HOWEVER, the main difference from last year is that I eat in tiny bursts throughout the day now (like a pastry, or a slice of cake, or a doughnut) then have dinner as my one main meal.

When the depression hit me like a truck in 2024 I really would just wait for dinner to eat – I'm so glad I'm out of that jungle now.

Is there something else you should be doing? I really should be planning my outfit and freebies for Hobi's concert the following weekend, lol.

Was your last text message from someone of the opposite sex?

If you could have a free plane ticket to anywhere, where would you choose to go? I'd love to go back to Fukuoka. For how much I dreaded the trip (since I went there with workmates), I actually really loved and enjoyed Fukuoka as a place.

What’s the approximate total cost of the clothes you’re wearing? Idk, I wanna guess maybe 2k? It's not much – it's just a vest and vintage cargo pants.

Where was the last place on your body that you felt physical pain? My shoulders are a little sore today.

Has someone of the opposite sex made you smile recently? No.

Can your significant other/crush sing?

What do you want/need right now? My money back. The salon I went to has shit payment methods and ended up charging me twice. I need to go back tomorrow to ask for half that money back, but until I don't have it I will feel stressed lmao.

How much does the last person you texted really know about you?

Who was the last person you apologized to? What did you apologize for? I said sorry to the hair salon people because I plugged my phone in one of their outlets to charge, lmao.

What are the initials of the person you have feelings for?

Did you straighten your hair today? Quite the opposite, I had it curled a little bit. Just because.

Is it okay to like someone else, if you already have a boyfriend/girlfriend? ?

Would you spend the night in a haunted house? Probably not.

Look in a mirror. Are you 100% happy with what you see? Why/why not? Tonight I am hahaha, since I had my hair re-dyed and curled today and it looks very well done :)

Will tomorrow be better than today? No clue, tbh.

What are you listening to right now? Just the aircon running.

Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? My sister, I think.

Do you still whip out the Nintendo on random occasions? Like, our Switch? Sure.

Can you honestly tell the difference between DiGiorno and delivery pizza? What is DiGiorno.

1989

When are you at your happiest? It is eye-opening how long I am taking to answer this lmao. I guess I am at my happiest when the people around me are at theirs.

Do you find that you’re attracted to people who aren’t “right” for you? It's happened before so the chances of this happening definitely aren't 0% at the very least.

Is there anything you wish you did today? Uh not really - I feel like I was able to do the stuff I wanted to do given the situations I was limited to today.

Why haven’t you done it?

What were you doing before you started this survey? I was doomscrolling GD reels on IG + looking at pegs for future nail designs, heheh.

Is there any exotic animal you’d like to have as a pet? If so, what is it? Nope.

Can you honestly say that you love yourself? I love myself and I'm happy with myself + spending time with myself.

How many people have you kissed? 1.

How many of those people are you still friends with? 0.

Do you just feel awkward when you dance? For the most part. I only ever dance freely at concerts where it's dark and people mind their own business.

When was the last time you felt absolutely happy? Earlier when I took myself out for dinner and a drink, and felt for the first time in a little while that I had permission to ignore the world around me.

Where did you go, the last time you left your house? I went to the office, then after that I went to the neighborhood cafe+bar for the aforementioned dinner and drink.

Name someone that you love: Not giving their names away but my grandparents! And I can't pick one, either... it has to be all four.

Is there something that you’re looking forward to right now? If so, what? Apart from the obvious, cliché answer of FRIDAYYYYY, I also cannot wait for more details of GD's concert to come out. I mean holy shit it's in May!!! How are there no prices yet and how is there no selling period yet!!! His management has been ridiculously clutch with all their announcements so far and I just can't ever get used to it, lmao.

What caused you to cry, the last time you did? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL uhhh. It was an angsty fanfic? HAHA

Do you think you spend too much time feeling upset? Yes. I am naturally grudge-y.

Is there anywhere you would rather be right now? If so, where? I'm fine where I am right now; I already got my fresh air earlier. :)

Do you like your singing voice? It depends on the song! I'm not a singer AT ALL, so there's just a very select range of songs where I can at the very least have decent control of my voice and not sound like I'm crying for help.

Do you think that you’ve ever actually been IN love with someone? Yeah.

If so, do you still feel the same way about them? No.

Have you ever done a psychedelic drug? If not, would you ever consider it? No and nopenopenope.

What’s something that makes you feel uncomfortable? Being in Manila. That city can eat shit.

Are you bisexual? No. Well, I dunno. I don't think so? At least not fully? I think I can like both guys and girls, but honestly my aroace tendencies trumps everything else at the end of the day.

Are you a good speller? Yes. Spelling was pretty much my specialty as a student and when I was in elementary and high school, I was always the go-to person they thrust into spelling bees or whatever.

Come to think of it all these years later, I think it was because I got really inspired by the movie Akeelah and the Bee, which we watched in school when I was in Grade 2. I already read a lot prior to watching it, but after that it's like a spark lit up in me and I read a thousand times more intensely. I even did what the main character did and read the dictionary the way you would a book.

Are most silences awkward for you? At least from my experience, it only gets awkward if you acknowledge it out loud. For me, I really love the silence and take it in positively.

Do you sing and dance? No.

Have you ever been to an amusement park? Sure.

Name someone you wish you had never met: My ex.

Why? I could've done and could've been so much more without the relationship. I'm glad I'm now the person I was always meant to be... it's really just frustrating that I delayed this whole becoming-myself thing for 6 years.

Name a word that you just really do not like: Guffaw makes me feel uneasy for some reason. It just doesn't look like a word that's meant to be a variant of 'laughter,' lol. It spells like it could be a car part?? Hey could you hand me the guffaw??? Hahahah idk

Why don’t you like it? ^ Oh, that. Hahaha.

Do you still seriously make pinky promises? No.

Did you ever see the movie Good Burger when it came out? I'm not familiar.

Do you and your friends have a lot of inside jokes? With Angela, yes.

What’s your favorite aspect of your life? I like simultaneously being single and having Grown-Up Money that lets me buy whatever I want. I'm pretty easy to please - I just want to be able to afford stuff. But that's also because we grew up with not a lot, and I always had to suppress asking for the things I wanted.

Do people tell you that you should smile more? No. But if that's what people think, I'm glad they do not say it to my face.

Do you prefer summer to winter? Idk what to tell you man, we don't even have winter. Nor spring. Nor fall. We only have heatwaves and flash floods lol

Do you use swear words? Sure.

If so, do you have a favorite one? Fuck.

What’s something you find utterly disgusting? Manila.

Are you easily angered? Only toward things or people I'm passionate / affectionate toward.

What’s something someone could do to really piss you off? Be a stupid driver.

Do you spend a lot of time just thinking/daydreaming? I can, but it's not a default.

Name a song you’ve really been digging lately: Take Me by G-Dragon :)

Are you a virgin? If yes, are you waiting until marriage? Not a virgin.

Who has the nicest singing voice, that you know personally? Maggie.

Say something nice about someone you really don’t care for: I like how she always seems to know how to talk to people and make them feel at ease.

Do you think you’re pleasant to be around most of the time? I think I can be outwardly standoffish more than anything, so honestly probably not. I'm happy to remain undisturbed for the most part regardless; but if there is someone who wants to talk to me I am more than happy to reciprocate :)

What are you gonna do now that you’re done with this survey? Maybe go back to Instagram to look at reels until I feel sleepy.

[purplesurveys]

1988

Do you have any scented candles in your home? What scent(s)? We do, though we largely keep them for decorative purposes and never actually use them. We have one in coffee and another in vanilla.

Are you planning any special outings with family or friends? I definitely plan on taking my family and best friends out for my birthday, but don't have anything planned/reserved yet. I think the closest would be two weekends from now - Reena and I will be seeing Hobi for two days straight.

Who were the last 3 males you talked to? There was the Grab driver who took me to my mom's workplace earlier today (so we can go home together) + the last two clients I talked to happened to be both dudes.

Name someone who made you laugh today. Nobody, I had an awful day today.

What was the last form of communication you used to speak to your best friend? (e.g. text, phone call). Messenger.

Do you have a favourite Celine Dion song? I don't have one.

Name one of your favourite foods that starts with the letter ‘C’. Chicken curry!

Put your iPod on shuffle. What genre is the first song that’s chosen? I don't use an iPod anymore, but I'll shuffle the current playlist I have on Spotify -- heh, it gave me Dirty Vibe, which is a song by Skrillex, Diplo, GD, and CL.

Does the person you love/like have a car? What colour is it?

Have you ever received a compliment on anything you’re wearing? I actually did today; Joel told me he liked the flowers sewn into the vest I had on. 

Which word(s) do you generally use to describe someone attractive? (e.g. “fit”, “sexy” etc.) It depends on what kind of 'attractive' I find them, because they can be cute, they could be sexy, they could be intelligent...so on and so forth.

Have you had any caffeinated beverages today? I didn't, which come to think of it may very well be part of the reason my migraine was SO bad today. Everything was pounding by like 2 PM and I didn't get to take a Biogesic til 5 PM. It was hell on earth.

What was the last alcoholic drink you tried for the first time? Did you like it? This is a good question but honestly I'm not so sure. I think Pale Pilsen, when I had it before Taeyang's concert? Yes, it was really good!

Have you eaten any chocolate today? What kind? Mmm I had chocolate milk if that counts :)

Find the 7th text message in your inbox. Was that text message from a male or female? I'd rather not look at my texts since most of them are work-related.

Think back to 6 months ago – how was your love life? Nonexistent, the same way it's been for five years and the same way it is now.

What’s your favourite feature of the person you’re currently interested in?

How many people have you hugged today? None.

Do you have a favourite hair colour or eye colour on your preferred sex? No.

Describe your last awkward moment. I'm not really sure. I try to forget them immediately so I don't dwell on them and squirm at random hours of the day when I suddenly remember them haha.

Is there anyone on your mind atm? When was the last time you spoke to that person? Nope.

What was the last compliment you received? The aforementioned flowers-on-my-vests from my workmate.

[purplesurveys]

1987

Do you have any stickers on your car? Just one - it's an homage to my university. I've always said I wanted a BTS sticker too, but it's been 3ish years since I first said that and I just never got around to having one custom-made hahaha.

Do you own a jean jacket? Yes I have one, it's a hand-me-down from my mom.

You can have a milkshake right now. What flavor do you choose? Cookies and cream or Biscoff!

Have you ever given someone flowers? Sure.

People say that texting has ruined our written language. Agree or disagree? I do understand this mindset but I feel like this issue was more relevant 15-20 years ago when we had just discovered shortcuts and overused them to fuck, aka back when lolz, rotfl, rotflmfao, c u, 2nite, etc etc were part of everyday conversations. These days even though we still use shortcuts, it's definitely not to the extent of how it used to be; and at least within my circles (professional and personal) people have long since circled back to typing full words and sentences.

Are there any lamps on in the room that you're currently in? Nope, not at the moment.

How often do you get on Facebook? I check it several times a day - Facebook is very popular in the Philippines and is where everyone/all the news/all the memes are.

What day of the week is usually your busiest day? Oh Monday. Easily. Always flattens me as if it's a 16-wheeler.

What age do you wish you could stay forever? No thanks. 

Do you have any concerts coming up? I'm seeing J-Hope on the two days he'll be here in April. GD's also scheduled to come here in May and I won't be missing that for the world. Then in June, if all things go to plan, I can potentially see BTS or at least celebrate their military discharge with fans in Korea.

Have you ever rode in a Corvette? No.

Do you enjoy the sound of thunderstorms? Sure.

When was the last time that you packed your suitcase? Start of the year when I was packing for Japan.

Do you own an iHome? No.

Is there a place that you will never return back to? Continued from last weekend, I think? There've been lots of places like this for me, whether I didn't come back to them intentionally or otherwise.

Do you listen to Blink 182? I knew like 1 or 2 songs but was never a fan per se. My sister was, though.

When was the last time that you created a PowerPoint? I'm always making presentations at work.

Do you like group work? It's fine.

Do you have any stickers on your laptop? Yeah, I've placed a few.

How is the weather at your place right now? SO HUMID. There's a discomfort in inhaling; and in general, if you're like just standing outside or whatever the air does feel like 50 lbs lol. The humidity worsens the heat too, so tbh I've just been inside air conditioned rooms all day/allweek.

Have you ever stolen one of those pink plastic flamingos? Nope.

Is music or the TV on while you complete this survey? No, I like things on the quieter side tonight.

What song or TV show?

Does your grass need cut currently? No.

Do you listen to Nirvana? Not really, no.

What color are the doors in your house? Brown.

What brand of shoes do you wear? Right now? I'm indoors so I'm not wearing any lol but in general my collection is split across Nike and adidas.

Have your friends ever not wanted you to be with someone? I'm sure they thought this and were tempted to shove it down my throat many times. I wasn't the smartest person in a relationship.

What thumb do you use to hit the space bar with? Come to think of it, that'd be the right.

Do you own a red dress? I used to but I think I threw it out already...didn't feel in style anymore.

[purplesurveys]

1986

Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you? I have absolutely no reason to be doing this, hahaha.

Have you ever built a snowman? I've never even seen snow before...

What is the last thing you drew a picture of? I never draw. I don't know how to.

What do you think about babies? Loud.

Do you hate the last person you kissed? I'll always reserve 10% of my emotions toward that person for hatred haha, but it's just something I keep to myself.

Do you like to listen to the radio in the car? It's been a while since I've listened to the radio - I always connect my stereo to Bluetooth now then play Spotify from my phone.

Do you sleep with a fan on? The intelligent and ideal choice would be to do so because it gets really hot through the night - but I hate the whirring noise and find it too noisy. Absolutely a me problem, lmfao... anyway, what I do is to turn on the aircon the night before long enough for the room to feel absolutely frozen, then I fall asleep while it's still cold so that I won't feel the room warming up.

Have you ever broken up with someone for someone else? I've never broken up with anybody.

Is something bothering you? I'm feeling a little antsy about my Korean visa application since I need to handle all the documents this week.

Have you ever taken a shower with anyone before? Sure.

Have you done anything sneaky lately? Little bit, yeah.

Were you happy when you woke up today? I was largely disoriented and confused because I had been SO tired and majorly lacked sleep yesterday.

Do you wear your seatbelt in the car? Only if I'm in the passenger seat.

Have you ever been cheated on? Nope. I don't think so.

Do you prefer to spend your time indoors or outdoors? Depends! Normally I prefer being out; but if I'm out 5 days in a row I'd start feeling desperate to be back in my room haha. In general though, I do like spending time outdoors.

Do you think you spend too much time feeling upset? I don't think so. I am passionate, though, meaning to say when I get upset I can definitely wallow in that emotion. But frequency-wise, I wouldn't say I'm *always* upset.

When was the last time you were sick? Oh it's been a while; I super rarely get sick. End of November, 2023.

Has anybody close to you passed away in the last six months? Not this exactly - but somebody close to somebody I'm close to, if that makes sense.

Have you ever broken the law? Sure.

Have you had any confrontations with anyone lately? Nah.

Do you walk fast or slow? Fast. I usually walk to the beat of whatever song I'm listening to.

Is there any alcohol in the fridge? I think I still have one bottle of soju left after we drank a couple of them last night.

Did you ever build furniture forts as a child? No.

Do you plan on losing weight any time soon? Nope.

When was the last time you used a disposable camera? i don't think I ever have, hahaha.

Do you hate it when people smoke around you? It's whatever, I don't mind.

Have you ever been to Florida? Nope.

When’s the last time you screamed really loud? Last Wednesday when they dropped the dates and cities for GD's tour, and Philippines was included lmaoooooooo

Has anyone ever called you a whore? No. I'd be very surprised if this was the word choice for me, and I might even ask them directly what their basis is HAHA

Who were you last in a car with? My mom and grandma.

Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty eyes? Not eyes, but eyelashes, yes.

Have you ever played the guitar? I mean I've strummed guitars and have played around with them. I don't actually know how to play one properly, if that's what you meant.

Would you rather be called "honey" or "baby?" Baby.

Have you ever eavesdropped on someone’s conversation? I'm sure I've heard conversations going on but I never pay attention to them.

Do you still play the "slugbug no slugbug back" game? I have no idea what that is?

Has anyone ever told you to grow up? Sure.

Have you ever eaten a bug? Probably.

Do you think Apple Jacks is a good cereal? I've never had it.

Do you think pit bulls are as mean as everyone says they are? No.

When eating, are you more concerned with the taste or healthiness? Taste.

Have you ever shoved stuff under your bed to make your room look clean? It's happened before but I never had things stay under the bed because I didn't want to encourage that behavior for myself. It was more like, if there was someone coming over, what can I temporarily put under the bed first? then I place them back out once they're gone. Plus hoarding raises the chances of attracting cockroaches and shit anyway, and I didn't want them anywhere near my room.

Do you know anyone who has been a victim of a drunk driver? At least as far as I know, no.

What would you do if your best friend was marrying someone you can’t stand? It's not my choice to make, so I'll let her be but I'll probably be expressive and vocal and excited around only her.

Would you drink a gallon of sour milk for $250? No.

Has someone ever thrown something at you & it landed down your shirt? I don't think so.

What toys did you play with in the bathtub as a kid? Bathtubs are not common here.

Do you like jumping off diving boards? I've never tried doing that.

[purplesurveys]

1985

Which fictional character can you not stand? Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory. Negan from The Walking Dead is also on my forever shitlist because of What He Did and That Thing being the reason why I stopped watching the show. While I heard the character got more and more well-liked as the show progressed, it does nothing to what I'll always feel about him haha.

What was the one subject in school that frustrated you because you just couldn’t process it? Chemistry did not and still does not make sense to me.

What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever gotten? I'm really bad at remembering things like this.

What is an occupation that you would like to do just for one day if you had the chance? Good question. Maybe a staff member for a K-pop group? just so my fishy ass could see who's nasty to work with behind the scenes, lmao.

What do you think people have an unnecessary stick up their ass about? Other people's choices on marriage and children. Like people just naturally probing as much as they do now is insane to me hahaha.

What common advice do you think never works? "Everything happens for a reason" is such bullshit and backhanded advice. I know you're probably looking for more action-based advice haha, but that was the first that came to mind.

What’s the best movie without a happy ending? Mmm I really like Requiem For A Dream. Grave of the Fireflies, too.

What is something you think is actually better about today’s generation? There's generally a wider list of things that are accepted or normalized now - be it mental health, gender expression, self-expression in general, no-homework policies in schools etc. We're all also very unapologetic about these things, which makes the whole situation just all the more reassuring to live in.

What movie has a worse love story than Twilight? I wanna say The Notebook? But idk I feel like I'm unfairly biased because I know I mostly think it's the MOVIE that sucks haha like the acting, the script... I guess, strictly from a story POV, 13 Going on 30 has gotta be up there in terms of weird because of the whole plot of 13 YO Jenna going after old Matt.

What seems obvious to you that doesn’t seem to be for other people? That they are stupid, selfish drivers.

If your partner in the zombie apocalypse was the main character of the last movie you watched, would you survive? I'd like to think so, hahaha.

What’s the worst episode of your favorite TV show? I know there's an episode of Friends where Rachel dressed up and acted like a cheerleader or something to attract Joshua or whatever, and it was just very cringey to the point that I've only seen it once, around 6-7 years ago - hence why I can't remember a single thing about it apart from the fact that I've avoided it like the plague, lol

You can pick two artists to do a song together, dead or alive, but they have to be from different genres. Who do you pick and why? I would explode if Beyoncé and Hozier ever collab.

What is something you would never buy again, even if you were rich? I can't think of anything, tbh. I don't really have serious regrets when it comes to things I buy – I guess it's a mindset you also sort of develop if you grew up a little short...that every single thing you buy has some sort of value to it, so you learn to appreciate it from whatever lens you can think of, even if it objectively sucks.

Is this the worst packed meal I've ever bought? Can't bitch about it, it's food, not everyone gets to eat. Was the price of this haircut giving "You got ripped off?" It's fine, they did a great job and the hefty price tag goes to the workers anyway. Things like this.

What do you do regularly despite it being considered very unhealthy or unsafe? Vape.

What is something that most people find attractive in a person that you find unattractive? Not 'unattractive' per se but it just doesn't have much of an impact on me - knowing how to play an instrument.

Do you ever use facial masks or scrubs? Outside of Covid, I've only used masks when traveling and it gets super cold. Like in Japan - I was in a mask like 70% of the time.

What do you think of the recent trend of adult coloring books? I'm guessing this survey was made in like 2017/18 when it was a trend, haha... anyway, I loved them. I was never committed/obsessed to the point where I'd finish a whole portrait – I actually never was able to do so. I usually just covered whatever I could do for 30 minutes or so, then I'd stop. It's therapeutic and soothing, yes, but it was also quite tiring to do hahaha.

Which fictional character do you think you’d be great friends with? Rachel Green.

What would you do if you found out your toys came to life similar to Toy Story? I don't have those toys anymore, so I think I'd be thrilled to see them in like a reunion of sorts? Haha. Then I'd mostly ask them how I was as a kid.

Do you own any cook books? My dad has a number of them since he cooks for a living. :)

Is there anything that you’d like to eat right now? I'm having Yellow Cab pizza right now and am having the time of my life.

What book are you currently reading? None.

What is something that you believe in, but aren’t very outspoken about? I'm pretty outspoken about my beliefs. I'd shock myself more if I was quiet about any of them.

do you think weird it’s for someone to have never tried soda? No.

is there any foreign film you recommend? Markova: Comfort Gay.

do you have the same religious beliefs as your parents? My mom is Catholic; my dad was never openly expressive about his beliefs. He did share he used to be atheist; but now, while he does the sign of the cross at church and such, he is not even remotely as vocal as my mom when it comes to religion/faith so I don't actually know where he's at when it comes to this. In any case, I think a safe answer to this is just a simple "No."

which floor of your house/building are you on now? Second floor.

are there any maps hanging in your room? Nopes.

are you often a third wheel? or is someone a third wheel to you? Yes to the first, haha. I don't mind! As long as we're all friends, it's not something I'm actively conscious of or insecure about.

what’s the last dvd you bought? It had to be one of BTS concert DVDs, back when they still did discs. I could never get on board with their digital codes or whatever that is they want to normalize, and what's bittersweet about it is I'm willing to let go of future merch if they keep doing this.

tell me about your favorite pair of jeans. It's a baggy pair that actually belongs to my sister, but it's like seen by my family as mine now because of how frequently I wear it, haha.

would you ride a motorcycle if given the chance? (or have you?) I'd ride behind someone, but would never be the driver.

is your hair healthy? Hard no. Some salon killed it rebonding it when I was around 12/13 and it was never the same after.

if a hotel offered free breakfast in bed, what would you order? Eggs Benedict and iced coffee.

how often do you take a train? Never.

what’s your favorite led zeppelin song? I'm not sure if I have one...I don't think so.

does your home have a balcony/deck/porch? We have a balcony (since renovated to be an additional bedroom) and a rooftop.

what does your closet/wardrobe say about you? That I need to shop more! I recently threw out like 60% of my clothes so now there is a bit of space and is looking a little sad haha.

do you enjoy theatre? No.

how would you feel about traveling abroad alone? In theory it seems fun, but realistically I'd only be willing to do it if everything was already lined up or organized for me, lol.

who would you call a lyrical genius? RM, Suga, and G-Dragon come to mind.

how do you treat yourself? Usually through food :)

do you have an interesting passport? No. In fact it is a very weak passport, nothing about it is interesting lololololol

are you going to pursue a career according to what you enjoy? I did.

who supports you financially? My parents and myself.

if you wanted to go to the movie cinema, how would you get there? I'd drive.

how many pillows are on your bed? Two.

do you prefer being awake after everyone goes to bed or before they get up? Whatever, I don't have a preference.

do you know much about feng shui? (do you use it?) I know about it since being Filipino is unfortunately inextricably linked to Chinese culture. No, I don't observe it nor believe in it.

how would you make friends in a quiet class? If other people are quiet then I'll just go about my own business. No use socializing with people who don't have plans to reciprocate the energy haha.

what’s your favorite spot to read? On the couch.

did you know that buddha is not considered a god to buddhists? Yes.

do you save tickets from movies, etc.? Sometimes, if the screening has some level of significance to me.

when’s the last time your bedroom was painted/wallpapered? A little over two years ago.

teach me something in another language. "Ang haba naman nito." means "This is long" but with a bit of a passive-aggressive calling-out/complaint tone, and is what I currently feel about this survey HAHAHA

who knows the most about you (besides yourself)? Probably Andi.

do you have a nervous habit? (e.g. biting nails, tapping feet, smoking) Peeling my nails. In extreme situations, I'd pull my eyelashes.

how’s your favorite pro sports team doing lately? I don't follow any.

would you be/are you a good role model to a younger sibling? I don't think so, but I also don't really try to be. At this point I just try to be the cool older sibling who is chummy with my sister's friends, or drives my sister wherever she needs to be, or offers her drinks and such.

[purplesurveys]

1984

What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? As basic as can be...I look for my phone to check the time.

How do you like to spend your lunch break? I either work through it or just spend the entire hour speed-watching a bunch of stuff on YouTube to put me in a good mood for when I need to get back to work. I have the unhealthiest, most inconsistent eating schedule and never actually use my lunch break for lunch.

Do you prefer coffee, tea, or something else to start your day? Coffee, exclusively.

What's something small that made you smile today? Yeesh idk today was pretty shitty and none of my favs even posted anything lolol there is nothing this day did to save itself. I guess the pets more than anything were the ones who made me smile.

What's the last text message you sent today? "Omg brownout [at my place], please continue the meeting" to Ruthie hahaha. The electricity got cut off while I was talking during a virtual meeting, so since it meant I'd lose wifi for around 5 minutes (because the router would restart and all) I asked my teammate to proceed with the call without me first.

Do you keep a to-do list or just go with the flow? I have a to-do list for my work tasks but I otherwise keep everything else outside of it on the spontaneous side.

Do you prefer working in silence or with background noise? Continued from Friday evening. Most of the time in silence, but I've taken to occasionally turning on music or some show to accompany me while I work. It needs to be in Korean, though, or like a wrestling match, so that I either don't understand it / there are no words. I'd get distracted if I hear English because I'd try to understand what I'm hearing while I'm also trying to work heheh.

Do you ever take naps, or do you power through the day? I can't nap on weekdays because I work 8 hours straight. On weekends, I actively avoid napping because those 2 days are my only free time and I want to spend it awake as much as possible.

Do you spend more time indoors or outdoors? Indoors. The post-pandemic era really did a number on the traffic situation. It's a million times worse these days and kills off any excitement I used to have about going outside.

Is there something you do every day that you wish you could skip? WORK. Or maybe not even work...if I just don't need to deal with the people at work (save for like the two people I'm ok with) or the shit they're constantly stirring, I'd be a different, happier person today lol.

How many hours of sleep do you usually get each night? Anywhere between 5-6 hours, since I sleep a little after midnight then can wake up a little while before 9 AM.

Do you keep a journal, to-do list, or planner to organize your day? I have a spreadsheet (Google Docs) that I use as a to-do/checklist.

Do you prefer to have breakfast at home or grab something on the go? I skip it.

Do you prepare your meals in advance or cook fresh every day? I do the latter, but instead of cook I just heat up or microwave whatever pre-made food or leftovers we have.

What's the last thing you do before going to sleep? I either watch YouTube, go on Reddit, or play a game on my phone to feel sleepy.
