2011

When was the last time you were sick? How incapacitated were you by the illness/ailment? I rarely get sick but the last time I felt feverish was actually right after my GD concert lol... it was a combination of the adrenaline keeping me up for 28 hours straight, barely drinking any water and food for those 28 hours, walking 15k steps in 40ºC, screaming and jumping nonstop during the concert itself - even the commute to and from was tiring because it was all the way in Bulacan.

The concert was Saturday - by Wednesday my skin felt tingly (my usual indicator that a fever's coming) and I was also dealing with the peskiest sore throat.

Do you often reflect on your past in terms of "eras" or “milestone” time frames (eg, looking back and saying, “it’s been 10 years since X”, etc.)? Sure, if it's relevant to do so. I'm big on nostalgia and it's always nice to remember the places I've been or the different sides I've had.

Is there something you would like to do or be, but have pretty much accepted it won’t happen because it’s just “not the kind of person you are” or is otherwise incompatible with your personality, character, etc.? Like I've said in these surveys before, I feel like my dream job would be to do PR for WWE but I just do not see myself living the rest of my life in the US, much less Connecticut where they're based. It's a complete lifestyle clash from the get-go.

If you use Letterboxd, what causes you to “heart”/“like” a film? I've never been on Letterboxd. It reminds me of my ex so I don't think I'll ever get around to trying it; I barely watch films anymore as it is.

Do you like people watching and is it something you do often? If so, where are your favorite locations to do so? Sure, when I can. I usually do it in coffee shops, where I can easily make myself inconspicuous.

Whether you want to have children or not, what do you think has had the greatest influence on your views of children/childrearing (eg, your parents, your own upbringing, your interactions with children as an adult, etc.)? My parents and 1) how we would deal with sensitive topics or feelings, and 2) how they would handle if their child did something wrong or something that didn't meet expectations.

On 1) they were always shut-off themselves, so I grew up suppressing my feelings. To this day I'm allergic to heart-to-heart conversations or being affectionate with anyone; and at work the most common comment about me is that I try to look strong but people can tell I'm fragile on the inside.

On 2) I was treated and talked to like an adult from childhood. If I made a mistake, I was given harsh words, made to feel stupid, etc. As early as 5 my mom was giving me the silent treatment whenever I did something wrong and I remember hyperventilating to my aunt at 5 years old, panicking about whether my own mother would even speak to me again or if she hated me enough that she'd drop me off somewhere and never come back for me again. I grew up being confused whenever I saw my friends being spoken to in a soft tone by their parents, because I never had that.

Is there anything that you enjoy that you simultaneously find intensely cringey? Is it so cringey that you wouldn’t normally admit to actually enjoying it? No.

When was the last time you felt someone was being dishonest with you — not necessarily downright lying to your face, but acting or responding to you in a way that seemed false or did not feel like their true self? Everyday. I feel like one of my managers doesn't like me.

If you were a doll, what outfit(s) and accessories would you come with? A bandana/scarf, my Paranoise pair, a crossbody purse with a photocard and Zoa plushie hanging from it, high-waist jeans, turtleneck top, daisy earrings. 

What was the last bit of praise you received? Idk if it counts but someone recently told me they loved my top lol

When you hear or see your name written out (as in /your/ name, not someone else who shares your name), do you immediately recognize it as your own, or is there a moment of disconnect before that recognition? My own. There's not a lot of Robyns around.

2010

Do you have any siblings you absolutely despise? Why do you despise them? Yes. They put their hands on me years ago, and as far as I'm concerned there is no room for forgiveness for anyone who crosses me in ways like that.

How many times a week do you shower? Is this a healthy thing for you? Either 6 days or the full week, pretty much. I need to shower everyday because it's very easy to start feeling hot and sweat and feel gross where I live.

Do you like taking random surveys like this? I love surveys, that's why I've been doing these since like 2012 lol. I've tried starting diaries/journals so many times in the past but never had any of them last more than a month; I found that surveys were easier for me to commit to, so I've been doing them ever since.

How many times a day do you eat a full meal? Is this a healthy thing to you? Just one - dinner. It's not healthy and everyday I can literally feel it being unhealthy, but I just prefer that setup since I'm always on the move and don't have time to eat anyway.

What’s your favorite movie? Why do you like this movie so much? Good Will Hunting. The script is beautiful, and generally the film has just always resonated with me.

What’s your favorite genre of movies? Why is this? I find that most if not all of my favorites are variations of drama - surrealist drama, romantic drama, general drama, etc.

Have you ever looked up at the sky, and thought, Why am I down here? Tbh not really, but I do end up thinking things like what's out there, if I stare at this spot how many millions and billions of years back am I actually looking at, is there a supernova happening somewhere right now...etc. Fascinating stuff.

What is your hair color? Are you satisfied with the color of your hair? It's a very washed shade of dirty blonde which is a result of the purple dye fading out over time. I really need to color it again because it's beginning to look gross.

Do you talk on the phone very often? Who do you talk to the most? I avoid calls if I can. That being said I always proactively do whatever I could to get out of talking to anyone through call.

Do your parents intimidate the people you date? Are they scary people?

Have you ever watched a horror movie and thought, “What would it be like”? Sure.

How many times a day do you say I love you? Who to usually? I feel like anywhere between 10-15 times and always to the pets.

What’s your favorite color? Why is this your favorite color? I like pink. It just is. I think it looks pretty on a lot of things :)

Do you like Drew Barrymore? Do you like her movies and work? I'm neutral about her and I don't think I've seen any stuff of hers.

Does the sight of blood gross you out? Why is this? I have a tricky relationship with blood lol. I'm okay with it in sport – like wrestling or boxing. But if it's in the context of a medical procedure, like watching a needle be pressed into skin, I feel woozy and need to look away.

What is the most common color of clothes in your closet? Black and white. I have all other colors but the rest are dispersed in varying frequency.

Do you text or no? Who do you usually text anyways? Tbh I usually talk to my online friends these days. If referring to just irls, I think I speak with Angela the most. Jazz too!

Do you think sweaters are only for dorks? Give an example of a dork. I never thought that about sweaters.

Do you prefer hoodies or jackets? Why do you prefer this choice? Jackets. I'm in professional settings most of the time and hoodies just aren't cut out for that.

Is black your second favorite color & does it really go with anything? It does at least for me, but I'm not sure if it's my second favorite. Pink is my favorite, then I wanna sayyyyyyyy blue is my second.

Do you cry really easily? Are you depressed? I don't cry easily in general, but there are certain triggers that will make me cry quicker. I still get bad dreams/nightmares about my ex from time to time and I wake up crying from those. Or when I remember Kimi / watch pet videos that remind me of Kimi.

On depression, I think I may have it but it's not officially diagnosed.

Have you ever babysat before? Did you enjoy this job? No... at least not in a paid setup. Babysitting isn't really a thing here. I did look out for my younger cousins but that's expected of an elder girl in my culture.

Do you like children, or do you hate them? Why do you like or hate them? I don't hate them. I just don't like being around them, especially the noisy and poorly-behaved ones.

Are your parents still divorced or together? They're together. They can't divorce because it's not made legal here.

Have you ever busted a window before? Why did you bust it? Nope.

Do you still get scared watching old horror movies? You watch them alone? The older ones are actually a whole lot scarier to me than the ones we have these days. Sure, I've watched them alone but still prefer to watch them with someone else.

Is the sound of Halloween exciting to you? Do you enjoy the holiday? I love Halloween but I feel like no one around me plans for it anymore.

Does anyone ever call you unique? Do you think you’re unique? I've never heard it used to describe me.

Do random people ever call you and make conversations with you? Uhhhhhh nope.

Do you talk a lot when you’re on the phone? Are you annoying? I don't and usually try to get out of it as soon as I can if I do find myself caught in a call.

Have you ever contemplated suicide before? Ever attempted it before? Yes. Yes.

When you think of summer, what is the first thing that comes to mind? The weather being so hot I feel the heat buzzing(?) on my skin.

Do munchkins/midgets scare you? Why do you think they scare you? No.

Do knives scare you? Is it from watching scary movies? They do. It's simply because they're sharp, it's not just because of horror movies. I've always been afraid of anything sharp; even newly-sharpened pencils would bring a wince out of me.

Have you ever tried to sing opera? Did it work out for you or no? No.

Do you know anyone named Tawny? Nope.

Can you count to 100,000,000? Have you ever tried before? No and no.

[purplesurveys]

2009

What do you hope you grow out of? Overspending on indulgences. I'm very self-aware that I need to start being more responsible and realistic about money since this won't always flow forever, and because I'm about to enter my 30s; but I'm also still caught up in the phase of catching up to all the years I missed not getting the things I want.

What is the healthiest and unhealthiest thing you do on a regular basis? Healthiest is that I don't overeat + I eat generally healthily? Like I love veggies and I also consciously step back from eating too much of anything I find unhealthy. I feel these habits would help me in the long run. Unhealthy - I have a very bad sleeping schedule that hinges on getting as little sleep as possible because I like staying up. Vaping is up there as well.

When looking for a SO, what three things are most important (besides looks)? Work ethic, intelligence, and being understanding.

How much do you judge a person by their appearance? I try not to, but I won't lie I mean sometimes I'll slip even if it's just for a second.

What movie made you cry the most? I cry to the ending of Liway every time. Doesn't matter how many times I watch it, the way they reveal whatever needs to be revealed at the very end will always drive me to tears. La vita è bella has this effect on me, too.

What’s the TLDR description of your last relationship? Two very insecure people trying their best to help each other, all with their toxic habits in tow, until they both realized they can't keep pretending to be okay for the other anymore.

Are you a fan of musicals? If you are, what ones have you seen live and which ones would you like to see? Other than Miss Saigon, I'm not. I've also seen it before; the only other musical left on my bucket list to watch is Les Miserables.

Are you someone who needs to have time alone? Yes, mostly when I've had a full day out socializing.

What’s your favourite type of fast food? Is it something you eat a lot or do you try and limit it? I generally go for premium fast food since the cheaper kinds don't usually fill me up + the options are too limited. I like places like Army Navy and Popeye's which are more expensive, but at least I know I'll be full by the end of the meal which is enough to make it worth it.

As for the frequency, I order in at least once every 1-2 weeks, typically on a Friday or evenings since I treat it as my 'reward' for the work week.

If you want (or don’t want) kids, is this something you’ve always known or have you changed your mind as you’ve grown up? I've always wanted kids; but with how my last relationship ended I've grown bitter toward the scenario and don't imagine myself as a mom anymore.

What’s your opinion on places like SeaWorld? Do you think keeping whales and dolphins in such small enclosures is cruel or a necessary evil? It is cruel and I avoid such places at all costs.

Have your parents traveled to any countries that you have not been to? Yes - my dad especially, since he's assigned to different countries all the time.

What are your favorite condiments to put on a burger? Mayonnaise!

Would you have sex with the last person you sent a message to? Nope.

Do you break things when you are mad? You will never see me doing this. I'll be more intense, sure - honking just a bit longer, gripping my phone just a bit tighter, typing just a bit louder... but I will never actually break or hurl anything.

How many different people of the opposite sex have you cried over? Less than a handful but none were in a romantic sense. Most of these cases have been people who've passed away.

Is the person you last texted single? I don't know.

Name one thing you look forward to as you get older. Increasingly growing independence and decreasing levels of giving a fuck.

Do you use your hands when you talk to emphasize what you are saying? Oh absolutely. Arms, hands, fingers, I include them all lol.

Name somebody you think died before their time. Selena.

Do you enjoy cooking? No.

Do you wish you could go back and change anything about your childhood? I wish it was a safer and kinder one. I grew up having to do so much tiptoeing that I remember repeatedly getting genuinely confused when I'd see my classmates having very close relationships with their parents. I thought you had to be afraid of yours.

Have you ever been overseas? Sure, I've been around Southeast (Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand) and East Asia (Japan, South Korea, China).

Who’s your favorite rapper? G-Dragon.

Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex? Yep.

Do you have any gift cards in your wallet? I do not.

What fictional character/s remind you of yourself? Diane Nguyen, for a time.

What was your college major? If applicable. I got my degree in journalism.

What are you a geek about? History and culture. K-pop careers of my faves.

Are you happy with your weight? It's okay but I do want to slim down a bit! Just enough to lose the chubbiness that's since gathered in my face the last few months.

How many cats do you have? We have one.

How many dogs do you have? Two.

How many other pets do you have? Just the 1 cat and 2 dogs.

How old were you when you got your driver’s license? I was 18.

How many of your grandparents are still alive? 3 of them are still here with us.

How many apartments have you lived in? I've never lived in an apartment.

Who is the best doctor you’ve ever had? Honestly, Angela's mom is my favorite because she has ALWAYS known what's wrong with me whenever something was up and always knew what medicine/s to prescribe for me.

Do you have a lot of people blocked on Facebook? I don't usually block on FB but I do report comments that piss me off, lol. I block on Twitter a whole lot more... idk I must have over 100+ accounts blocked to keep my feed free of toxicity.

Are you afraid of spiders? No as long as they don't jump at me, which they've never tried to do.

Are you afraid of snakes? Apart from the obvious 'yes if they're venomous,' I'm generally not. I've held snakes more than once in the past.

Does everyone in your family know your sexual orientation? I don't identify as any, so there's nothing to know, really.

What is one thing you find offensive? Mistreatment of OFWs. Or anything to do with insulting them, looking down on them, etc.

Do you often post about politics on social media? Sure.

Would you ever want to go back to school? No, I'm not really after a masters/PhD.

Have you ever broken into a public place, like a high school, after it was late and secluded? No. Getting caught and getting in trouble for it sounds like a nightmare for my rule-follower personality.

Would you be interested in going scuba-diving? Sure! Just nothing too too too too deep.

Have you ever been in a cave? Yes, many times in the past.

Do you actually know anyone named ‘Bill’ or ‘Bob’? I know a Billie, but that's it.

Can you knit? I can't.

Can you do the splits? Never learned how to.

Would you be satisfied growing up to be like your parents? The only thing I want to get from them is their work ethic. I'm fine with being my own person otherwise.

Have you ever found a member of the same sex attractive? Yes.

Do you count calories? Nope.

Does your sibling have a significant other? No. At least not that I know of.

Have you ever cried at a real wedding? No.

Are there any gadgets of yours that need charging right now? My phone will die in a few minutes if I keep it playing music on loudspeaker, lol.

Have you ever been called a skank/slut because of the way you dress? Nope.

Are you a fan of acrylic nails? Sure! I use press-on nails though. Just a lot easier to handle.

2008

What were you doing before you logged on here? I caught the surprise live Bigbang did :)

What was the last airline you flew on, and where were you going? We were on AirAsia to and from Seoul.

Which of your breakups was the hardest for you to get over? I've only dated one person.

What did you have for dinner last night? Last night I had spaghetti with a slice of bread. Pasta usually doesn't make me feel full, so unsurprisingly by around 2 AM I got hungry again and got McDonald's delivered - I had a cheeseburger with fries and a box of nuggets.

Do you write poetry? If so, what kind of poetry do you write? I don't write poetry; I've never been good at it every time I've tried.

Have your parents traveled to any countries that you have not been to? They have.

Did you have acne when you were a teenager? I did not, but it has finally caught up to me these days. I'm apparently a late (?)bloomer(?) when it comes to acne... it's similar to my mom, who only started breaking out in her early 30s.

What’s your favorite type of gemstone? I guess I'll just go with my month's... diamond.

Do you prefer sleeping in total darkness, or do you like to have a little bit of light? Darkness.

Who was your favorite children’s book author when you were a kid? I don't know if I had one.

Would you rather take a class in fencing or archery? Archery.

Has a significant other ever given you the silent treatment during a fight? Yes.

How many bathrooms does your house have? We have two.

What was the last thing you borrowed from someone? One of my dad's cords to charge my phone.

What are your favorite condiments to put on a burger? Mayonnaise.

What color are your best friend’s eyes? Continued from last Tuesday...which is kind of hilarious because I didn't realize until now that this survey had only three questions left in it LMAO -- Dark brown.

Have you ever had a stalker? Nope.

Would you rather work in an office setting or work from home? I never reached the era of office work - I was first employed during the time we started adopting work from home as a thing and my workplace never shifted to full RTO. That being said I like the setup we have, which is pretty much WFH but we have the option to go to the office any time we want.

[purplesurveys]

2007

Have you ever gotten into an accident with you parents’ car?: Yeah, I still feel so bad about it even though it wasn't even my fault because it's still my dad's car. I was driving his Vitara on campus when this stupid cyclist got too close and his stupid bike grazed the back side of the car, by the gas tank. He sped off immediately so we weren't able to catch him, and I was devastated when, upon checking if there was any damage, I saw some of the paint chipped off. My dad didn't get mad, because he never does... but of course that was what made me feel 1000x worse.

Ever thought of just picking up and moving far away?: I don't actually get that urge, no – because I know I'd never survive long, lol. I can barely look out for myself here.

What’s the wallpaper on your computer?: BTS.

What is the last thing/person you took a picture of?: I think it was just of my Daesung lightstick since it finally got shipped to my place earlier today. I also took a group photo of my now-complete set of Bigbang lightsticks – Dae's, Youngbae's, Jiyong's, and the group's.

Name a band/artist you like that isn’t that popular. Paul Blanco isn't that mainstream, I feel like.

Can you lift your significant other (your best friend if you’re single)?: Uhh I can probably lift her off the ground but nothing more than that.

What is the first vehicle you recall your parents/guardians owning?: They had a black 80s-model Mitsubishi Lancer.

You only have $5 for the whole week; What do you buy with it?: I think that should let me get a 6-pack of instant noodles + dozen eggs. Those are also the only two things I know how to make.

What was the worst job you’ve ever had?:

Have you ever seen counterfeit money?: Apart from obviously play money, I don't think so.

Have you ever lost a pet you were attached to?: Kimi was my dog as much as he viewed me as his person. Yes. I think of him at least once a day.

You’re at an amusement park; What ride do you want to go on first?: I would uh head straight to the food stalls lol

You can read minds; Whose mind do you snoop around in first?: I think that would just make me feel constantly anxious immediately so no thanks.

What was the most rebellious thing you’ve ever done?: Rebelling was never in me, tbh. I was a problem child and acted out largely because my mom didn't do a good job being a mom and always went out of her way to do things and say things that would make me feel like she absolutely despised me. I didn't know what else to do or where or who to run to because my own mother didn't serve as shelter, so I developed a bit of an attitude, felt very pissy toward the world, and just had a lot of rage in me for a while.

Despite this, I didn't really do anything that was loudly rebellious though - like getting into the wrong crowds, dabbling in drinking or smoking etc. I was just...mad. I just struggled to make friends. I just felt negatively about everything and everyone for a while.

Do you ever talk to inanimate objects?: Yep.

Have you ever moved and had to change schools growing up?: Never experienced this.

Name the most meaningful thing a non-relative has done for you.: So many people have shown kindness to me for so many different reasons. I've had Grab drivers drop me off literally in front of my car door in times where it's rained and I didn't have an umbrella on me; I've had acquaintances offer their place to me when I found myself in emergencies, stranded somewhere; I've had people like Pat who, within just hours of meeting each other, promised to shield me the entire time from rabid fans (we were both barricade for the GD concert and were in constant danger of being tackled by psycho fans who wanted our spots) all while giving me cellphone signal + teaching me tips on how to get noticed by Ji + offering to put my extra freebies in her bag, because hers was much bigger than my measly purse.

You’re going to be a mom/dad; What do you think/do?: Inform my parents. I'd keep the baby.

Have you ever tried to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times?: Sure.

Are you more likely to give up or persist when you’re having trouble?: It depends on the situation but in general I tend to be a give-upper, lol.

Do you resemble one parent more than the other?: I think so. At least for me, I see more of my mom in me.

Your best friend needs a kidney to survive; Do you give them one of yours?: Only for Angela.

Name a big life event that has taken place for you within the last 2 years.: Traveling abroad without my parents for the first time!

Do you end up regretting things you say often?: No.

Would you rather have a huge cat or a tiny dog?: Biiiiiiiig cat.

Pringles or Lay’s Stax?: Pringles.

Name one difficult lesson you’ve learned.: The world will never stop spinning for you, no matter how much you beg and kick and plead and cry yourself dry.

Name one thing you look forward to as you get older.: Having more things to not give a fuck about. I've grown increasingly nonchalant toward matters that would've brought out a meltdown in me 5-6 years ago, and I'm excited for that to continue lol.

Do you use your hands when you talk to emphasize what you are saying?: ��� Yes absolutely 👐

You own a huge business; What is it?: I won't stray away from what I'm already doing, and probably go with a public relations firm.

Are you afraid to ask for help when you know that you need it?: Yeah I mean my very unhealthy life philosophy is to never ask for help for anything ever. To this day I struggle to ask for water + ask for the bill at restaurants because the way I was raised, asking help would typically lead me to get scolded or questioned why I can't do this or that by myself in the first place.

Name somebody you think died before their time.: Owen Hart.

Name the possession you’ve had the longest.: Mmm probably the books my dad got me ever since I was a child. He was the first to take note of my love for reading and writing and made sure to support me in it by buying me books every time he was abroad. I didn't throw most (if not all?) of them out.

[purplesurveys]

2006

Other than your name, what was the last name someone called you? I go by a different name on Twitter, so let's go with that.

If you could find one long lost friend of the past, who would it be? I was very close with a girl named Genie from Grade 3 to 4 then abruptly and completely lost touch when she moved schools. I'd love to meet her again and hear how she's been the last 17 or so years.

Was your sixth grade teacher a man or a woman? I can't actually remember but I think it was a woman.

What was the last thing you drank? Canned coffee.

Have you ever had any teeth pulled? I've had some of my wisdom teeth removed - I just can't remember if it's been two or three of them so far. Why can't I seem to remember anything tonight? Hahaha

Do you wash your hair or your body first when taking a shower? I go for the hair first since the conditioner needs to stay in it for a few minutes.

Are your parents still married? Yep.

What was the first tape/cd/record you owned? Apart from movie OSTs, the first CD I asked my parents to buy me was Beyoncé's I Am Sasha Fierce when it came out in '08.

Have you ever eaten something other people might think is gross? I eat a lot of things like that. A good portion of Asian food is viewed that way, lmao. I think what freaks people out the most though is stuff like balut.

What color is your toothbrush? It's purple and white.

Have you met anyone famous? Yeah, a good number of people. It comes with the job.

When you were a kid, who was your best pal? Continued from last Sunday evening, I think. It differed depending on the grade, but the most consistent friend I had was Angela.

Have you ever been to a nursing home? I have not.

What holiday do you enjoy the most?

What was the first video game you ever played? I think it was Duck Hunt. I remember being in my grandparents' place as a 3 year old and playing with the Nintendo gun controller.

What do you find yourself buying all the time? Meals that should be out of my budget.

Do you own any board games? Nope.

Were you born in the state you live in? No, I definitely don't live in Manila and never plan to.

Have you ever lived in a house that has been broken into? Nope.

Who do you know that watches the most sports? I'm not sure... I think a safe guess would be Hans?

[purplesurveys]

2005

How many bedrooms does your home have? It was 3 when we moved in, but at some point we had the balcony renovated to be an additional bedroom when my brother was starting to get a little older and needed a space of his own. So it's no longer a balcony, but we do still have a rooftop so at least.

What kind of phone do you have? I have a battery-is-barely-hanging-on iPhone 13 Pro. I'm eyeing to have it upgraded but I also only want to do so if the next model's going to be dramatically different the way the X was when it first came out. But if that doesn't happen any time soon, I may just get the battery replaced hah.

TW: Sexual assault -- Have you ever been assaulted? I'm not quite sure what counts as assault and maybe this is just me still in denial/still in a daze about it, but I did get grabbed and kissed by a stranger when I was in Itaewon last June. I was quite intoxicated so I kissed back, but I remembered it slowly the next day and got bummed about it.

What was the last thing that made you feel fortunate? I had dinner with my family around an hour ago. It was just that - the fact that I could have dinner, and I can have it while seated at a dinner table inside a house and could go for seconds if I wanted to.

Can you hear a lot of traffic noise from your house? I mean I guess yeah, technically. I live in a gated village, but I do live at the very tail-end of the subdivision so I live in relatively close proximity to some highways already. If it gets quiet enough here at night, you'll sometimes here honking + truck noises + jeepneys + motorcycles speeding outside, but nothing that's too distracting.

Are there any good Thai restaurants where you live? Not really. You'll need to go to Metro Manila for some authentic Thai.

Have you ever drawn or painted a self-portrait? I think we had to once as like a grade school art project.

What was the last red thing you ate? A butterfly-shaped gummy :)

Do you know anyone in a relationship with someone who’s old enough to be their parent? I don't think so!

Have you ever found something really interesting at an antique store? I don't really go to antique stores much (also because there aren't many around here). I remember a few months ago we did go to one in Cubao, where the young man manning the store explained that every single item in the shop belongs to his grandfather.

Anyway, I didn't notice too many things because there happened to be an outage when we came and it was pitch black inside LOL - except for some pretty scarves I saw. Then I learned they cost P500 - P600 apiece so I had to politely nope out of there.

What brand of laundry detergent do you use? We use Surf.

Have you ever driven a Mini Cooper? No, but it's my dream to own one.

Who was your last voicemail from? I've never used voicemail. I don't think it ever caught on here - I've never once seen my parents / aunts and uncles / family friends use voicemail.

Do you have any Italian heritage? I very very very very very very very highly doubt that.

Did your longest relationship make it past the 5 year mark? As a whole, i.e. the entire on-off nature of it, yes. The stints themselves didn't, though; the first time, we were together a year, then we broke up for a time blahblahblah, got back, and were together for 4 years the second time.

What time do you usually eat dinner? Any time between 6:30 to 8 PM.

Would you ever want a career in the performing arts? Nope.

What has been your favorite job you’ve ever had? I've only had one job and it stopped being my favorite around 2 or 3 years ago.

When was the last time you had a power outage from a storm? I think it was last year.

Have you ever been falsely accused of something serious? Idk how serious we're considering this but I mean my dad was once convinced I went out smoking because there was a cigarette butt under my shoe and it happened to fall off in the car 😭 I still think he thinks it, which I find equal parts frustrating (BECAUSE I DIDN'T DO IT!!! lol) and hilarious.

Do you ever Skype/Facetime your friends and family? Family: We don't video-call to bond necessarily, but we'll do it if like we're running an errand that involves the other person and need answers immediately. Like if I'm shopping for clothes and need a second opinion – I'd call my mom then.

Friends: Almost never, too. We'd only pull the video call card either if we're making plans, like for an out-of-country trip; or if there's urgent gossip/stories/life updates to be shared and it can't wait for us to physically be at each other's homes.

What did you think of the last movie you saw in theaters? Answered this previously so I'll answer this with the last movie I saw regardless of where I watched it – I watched The Flight Plan with my parents last night. It was okay but I did find every single character annoying at some point. I think that was the point, though, so they did a good job at executing that at least.

Did you ever set up a lemonade stand when you were a kid? No.

When was the last time you spoke to someone in a different language? Idk just an hour ago, we speak in Filipino a lot more than we use English at home.

2004

Did the last book you read have a good ending?: I can't remember the last book I completed; I don't read a lot as it is.

Did the last book you read have a character in it that made you mad?:

Is your friend’s birthday tomorrow?: No. I don't know a lot of August celebrants actually, come to think of it.

If you were to paint a rock, what would you paint on it?: I think I'd do colors of the rainbow on it.

Are you ready to leave the past behind and move forward with your life?: That's what I had to do around 5 years ago when I was going through a breakup. But now, idk, life has been...pretty uneventful the last few months lol and there's been nothing to 'move forward' from, really.

When was the last time you took a selfie?: I don't remember when exactly but I think within the last two weeks is a safe range to guess, since I take them regularly-ish either with my friends or with my pets.

Have you ever used a tripod to take pictures of yourself?: I don't think I have.

Have you ever dressed ridiculous for no reason?: I mean I dress silly only for Halloween, but that's it lol.

Do you feel like you have a sliver in your foot right now?: No.

Was it hot out where you lived today?: I think it would be humid once we're home, but for now we're at an Airbnb and the aircon is doing lovely work making the room chilly.

What’s your favorite color of the sunset?: Any. I love sunsets, have no preference in its color/s.

Do you know anyone who is colorblind?: Nope.

Does sunlight make you feel better?: For the most part I don't react to it...for the rest of the time I find it annoying and a hindrance to me fully enjoying the outdoors.

Does fall make you feel alive?: Idk I've never experienced it before.

Do you paint or draw regularly?: I wouldn't say regularly, no. I probably paint once every 6 months.

Do you write stories / novels frequently?: Definitely not; I'm not that type of writer. I've tried doing creative works but it just never came/doesn't come naturally to me.

Do you write poems regularly?:

Do you like writing poems?:

What do you like writing more: songs, poems, plays, or stories?: Personal essays.

Are you a writer?: It is what I best identify as, yes.

Do you write in a journal frequently?: This is the journal, if it counts.

Are you having conflict with a friend right now?: Nope.

Do you miss someone?: Well not actively, not really.

Do you feel overwhelmed?: I'm just feeling a bit weird that this weekend vacation is ending soon, haha. The whole space between a trip coming to an end + driving back to your reality is something I never grew quite used to; and yeah part of it all is feeling overwhelmed every now and then.

Have you ever wished your feet were smaller?: Sometimes I wish they were bigger rather than smaller, actually. I'm a size 5 and it's frequently hard to find shoes that tiny, especially from resellers – case in point, my Paranoise 3.0 is a size 8 and I bought it because for two months straight I was observing the virtual marketplace and that pair from that seller was consistently the smallest size available for sale.

I thought 1) someone would eventually beat me to this pair, 2) the markup for it wasn't that bad, and 3) I don't think any pair smaller than a size 8 would pop up anymore as I was already lurking for two months; so I gave in and bought. I wear it all the time now. It does require me to wear 2-3 pairs of very thick socks so that it feels comfortable LOL, but I am obsessed with the shoes and ROI the shit out of them.

On one hand, can you cross your first two fingers and your last two fingers at the same time? (I can, but apparently most people can’t): Well, yes.

Does your handwriting look like your mom’s?: Nope.

Do you sound like your mom?: There are tendencies, yes.

Do you look like your mom?: We look alike, yes.

Could you be a contortionist?: Not a chance.

Can you twist your tongue, bend it into a clover, and lick the tip of your nose? (I can): No.

Do you like the color orange?: Not particularly, no.

Would you ever drive an orange car?: Probably not.

Do you name inanimate objects?: Nope.

Do you blame yourself for things that aren’t your fault?: Yes I am unfortunately quite good at that.

When was the last time you went to church?: Last week. We might end up skipping today since we're still on vacation and don't check out til noon (we usually attend mass Sunday mornings).

If you were rich and had your own house, would you decorate it for holidays?: Absolutely.

Are you contemplating whether you should keep something or not?: Mmmmmm not right now, no.

Have you ever worn a school uniform?: I had to in my first school, which I attended from kinder to high school. College was very jarring for me the first few weeks because it was the first time in my entire life that I 1) not only didn't have to wear a uniform anymore, but also 2) it was a university that had no dress code at all (a complete contrast from my Catholic school upbringing where you couldn't even show your knees). That said I didn't start paying attention to style til college hahaha.

What is your opinion on school uniforms?: I think school uniforms in college are a little ridiculous.

Do you own fingerless gloves?: Nope.

What’s your favorite place to eat at the mall?: Yabu :)

What do you want for Christmas?: Money would be nice, and anything with dragons or daisies on it hah. Also press-on nails!

Whose birthday is next?: My mom's is next month; my sister's is exactly a week after hers.

When is your birthday?: April 21.

Do you have any plans for your next birthday?: Not this early on, no.

Is the world you live in a very good one? Is your life a very good one?: It could be better but I also acknowledge my privilege. I think that is essentially what being middle class is like.

Can you do the splits?: Nope.

Are you ready?: I dunno if I'll ever be...

[purplesurveys]

2003

WHERE YOU LIVE:

1) What are the best and worst things about your neighborhood? I live in a gated neighborhood so safety's a given. Outside of here, I'm situated just outside of the Metro Manila bubble so it's very quiet but has all the accessibility to the city that makes going to and from places convenient (if we're not considering traffic).

Worst is it's not Metro Manila, so I'm not really fed with like the urban/creative/hip spots I kinda need to stay stimulated. AKA it's not very fun here, haha. I know this is largely a personality thing though - someone who likes things simple would do just fine here.

2) If someone gave you an extra $5,000 for your house and only your house, how would you spend it? I know my parents were planning to renovate their bedroom to make the ceiling wooden or something like that, so I'd give it to them.

3) If someone outside of your town or city visits you for the first time, where would you take them out to? I can only think of one spot, which is one of the museums we have. Otherwise honestly I'd much rather take them to the city proper where there'd always be so much more going on.

4) If you had to order a quick takeaway for dinner, where would you go? McDonald's should be able to get the job done.

5) What’s a random fact about where you live? I can't think of anything interesting right now.

THE LAST HOUSE YOU VISITED THAT WAS NOT YOUR OWN:

6) Whose house was it? Can it be an Airbnb since I haven't been to anyone's house in months and also cos I think an Airbnb could make for cooler answers? LOL it was the apartment Airbnb we stayed at last month! Iirc the owner's name is Penny, and we stayed in the Myeongdong area.

7) Why did you visit and how long did you stay? We were vacationing in Seoul, so that's what served as home for the 7 days we were there.

8) What do you think about this person’s house? It's very very convenient and clean. It was nothing special - and tbh it's really a place for low-maintenance travelers because it's literally just a room with a bed; anyone wanting more features or more space would probably go crazy since the room was very small.

But we went with it because we figured we'd only be there just to sleep, and it wouldn't make sense to pay double/triple for a larger place we'd never even stay in during the day. We ended up being right; as stuffy as the room could feel like, we really only used it for sleep so no regrets there. The neighborhood itself was very safe and secure too.

9) If you could take or copy something from their house, what would it be? The pillows and comforter were soooooooooo soft and comfy.

10) What about their house would make it difficult for you to live there if you had to? The shower heater was hard to work with and it's the type that would give you either scorching hot or freezing cold water no matter how little you adjust the knob. I ended up skipping showers for a couple of days because I didn't want to deal with it.

THE LAST RESTAURANT YOU ATE AT:

11) What is the name of the restaurant, and what kind of cuisine do they serve? Watami for my grandma's birthday. Japanese.

12) How did you first find out about this restaurant, and what triggered you to try it? Mmm I didn't decide the restaurant choice since this was a family birthday celebration, but the first time I tried Watami was with my mom and siblings a few months ago – we all like Japanese food but haven't tried this particular place before, so it really was just for that reason that made us explore their food.

13) What did you order and how would you rate it? Tonkatsu is usually my go-to as soon as I see it on the menu, so I got that. It was actually very good, enough for me to give it an easy 10/10.

14) What do you like best about this place? What about it could be improved? The menu is huge. Like it covers a big chunk of Japanese food categories – ramen, sushi, tonkatsu, tempura...you get it.

What could be improved, it's less on their service tbh and more on logistics but the place could be bigger. We waited for more than an hour to be seated. My immediate family would never be willing to wait that long especially when there's hundreds of other restaurants in the same area, but we were with extended family who wanted to eat there so a 1+ hr wait time it was.

15) Would you go back? If so, what would you order the next time you do? If not, where or what would have been a better option than going there? Sure. I think I would go for the same thing.

THE LAST PLACE YOU VISITED THAT WAS MORE THAN 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM YOUR HOME:

16) Where did you go and what did you do there? I think it may have been Rockwell. I was there for work.

17) How did you get to this place? How comfortable was the trip? I took a Grab which I usually book for work travels. I remember being the to and from both being fairly comfortable.

18) What about this area do you wish exists in or applies to where you live? I can't really think of anything. What they have there we already have where I live.

19) Do you know anyone who lives in this area? Sure, a handful.

20) If you had to live in this area, what kind of housing arrangement would you choose? Condo.

[purplesurveys]

2002

Describe your most recent purchase: I just buy coffee and food these days - yesterday I got a meal of pork belly + Spanish latte from the coffee shop I was working in. But if we're talking non-food, I placed pre-orders on G-Dragon merch that I'm not particularly proud of because they weren't exactly cheap, lol - I got the jacket, snapback hat, and scarf from his Übermensch merch capsule drop.

Did you enjoy the last movie you watched in theaters? I don't think I've watched anything in the actual cinemas since Joon's RPWP documentary, and that was around 9ish months ago. But yes, I really loved the movie and admired how Joon clearly went outside the traditional mold of how K-pop content is usually packaged as. There were no theatrics, none of the perfection they try to show in K-pop - it was just a dude showing how he poured his soul into his album in the form of a video journal.

If you make surveys, where’s the last place you saw a survey made by you on another person’s site?

Do you take the subway train often (if your city has one)? We don't have a subway system and I don't use the public transport in my country. I'll only start once they have it fixed, which probably won't be in this lifetime...lol. The last place I took the subway at was in South Korea, which left me with a big pang of envy because of how organized and complete it was. Seoul taught me how to commute all by myself in 1 day, versus Manila's which I still can't figure out hahah.

What shoes did you wear today? I don't plan on going out today.

Does your sibling have a significant other? Nope. At least I don't think so. She's usually transparent about her Bumble adventures but she hasn't mentioned anything about it for a few months now, so I'm guessing no.

Have you ever cried at a real wedding? No. I also haven't been at a wedding since 2007.

Do you live in an apartment or a house? A house.

Do you use Skype? It was what we used around 2008-09 when we'd video-call with my dad whenever he was working overseas.

Any idea what you want for your next birthday? I can't think of anything this far out, apart from a day off work which would be nice.

Are there any gadgets of yours that need charging right now? My Airpods and the case, I think.

What do you use to remove makeup? Just water. It's not the healthiest, I know, and I do have skincare products that help with removing makeup better. But I just feel too lazy toward applying them one by one hahaaaaaaaa.

Which awards show would you wanna go to the most (e.g Oscars, Grammys etc.)? I don't subscribe to those anymore but if anything I'd go to like MAMA or MMA only for Jiyong, if he was involved in some way.

Any idea what time you’ll be going to bed tonight? If I had to guess, probably around midnight at the latest since I still need to work. But I also need to be in Makati around 10 AM, so I don't plan on staying up as late as I've been doing lately.

Do you think George Clooney is hot? He's definitely good-looking but I don't particularly have a crush on him or anything like that.

Have you ever participated in local magazine cover girl searches? Nope.

What colour is your keyboard? It's black.

Do you keep the plastic/paper/whatever bags after you buy stuff? Yes. Paper bags we keep so we can reuse; the plastic bags become the lining for our trash cans.

Do you own any high waisted pants? I mostly wear high-waisted pants these days.

Do you know anyone who has two different coloured eyes? Before, yeah.

Gold or silver accessories? Silver.

Have you ever ridden an elephant? Yes.

Are you a fan of acrylic nails? I don't really mind the material. As long as I have a steady supply of press-on nails so my nails can look cute and pretty, that's fine hehe.

[purplesurveys]

2001

What feeling do you have the most difficult in expressing? I think anger - only because I tend to get blinded by it and I'm either oversaying emotional thoughts or completely shutting off, both of which don't really help the situation. These days when I get angry I kind of just camp away for a bit and let it dissipate to a calmer shade of disappointment before I open my mouth.

Do you make your bed everyday? Why/why not? I do. I cannot proceed with work knowing my bed is unfixed... there's just some mentality/psychology shit going on in there that I don't feel like explaining rn, lol.

Do you give money to homeless people/beggars? Why/why not? No, because I never know if I'm inadvertently supporting a syndicate or cult, which a big portion of them are part of. They don't appreciate food either... so I just end up not giving anything.

What do you feel is your number one flaw? Are you doing anything about it? I am emotionally closed. Like very. It's not as noticeable a problem to most people since I deal with most people merely in passing, but it can definitely show itself in relationships I'm supposed to be 'present' in. Like with my parents. Or dynamics with my workmates. I just don't feel the need to be emotionally expressive, and just prefer to do what I need to do with someone so I can go about my day alone again lol

I'm not really doing anything about it because again – I don't want to. Haha. I like being alone, and being clingy or expressive is just not me.

Do you think you are competitive? Do you really dislike losing? I am competitive and hate losing. Simple as that, lol.

On which topics do you feel qualified at giving advice? More technical stuff, I guess? It sounds boring...but I'd pull up Excel sheets and make Powerpoints for people who'd need like travel tips to countries I've been to, or concert preparation hacks, or a crash course in the industry I work in...hahaha. In contrast, I don't really trust myself to give advice for topics I find more abstract, like relationships, or family problems, or existential questions - stuff of the sort.

Will you be single over winter? We don't have winter but I know I will be.

Do you add random questions into surveys when you take them? I've never done that.

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

Do you remember the first time you kissed the last person you kissed? I kissed the person once and probably will never see them again in this lifetime.

Have you ever slept on a couch with that person? Nope.

Have you written a letter to a soldier? I haven't.

Where are the majority of your clothes from? Right now, the majority have all been thrifted. I think H&M would be in second place.

Does being in love make you nervous? It did before, at the start. Then it became the easiest thing to do, then the most painful thing to feel when it all fell apart.

Would you do your own surgery to keep yourself alive? (ex. stitches) I'd probably end up injuring myself even more or killing myself accidentally altogether so probably not lmao.

Have you ever had any really infected injuries? I got a very bad infected wound when I was 11 from snorkeling – I was kicking without flippers but happened to be in area with lots of coral reefs, so off I went kicking away at them; and yes, they were all very very sharp. I didn't feel the pain as much initially since I was underwater hence me not stopping; it was only when I got back to the boat when I realized just how big of a wound it already made.

Is racism for losers? Well yes!

Is there any band out there that you like every song by them? Paramore.

Are you popular on any websites? I wouldn't say so.

Have you ever cussed/swore in front of younger children? I may have once or twice but I always watch myself, of course.

Will you go to your high school reunion? Continued from...wow. June, I think? Only if my friends would be interested in going as well. Otherwise I don't see how I'd have a good time tbh.

If you could meet one famous person, who would it be? Maybe Seunghyun? He's such an interesting person.

Do you hate it when people look over your shoulder? It won't drive me crazy, but it's not preferred.

Would you consider yourself hypocritical? I...honestly think we're all hypocrites to an extent.

Do you know anyone who had had a heart attack under 30 years of age? I'm pretty sure I've heard of such cases; I just can't remember the particular names.

Are you considered popular at school? I haven't been in school for 5 years now lol, but I was associated with the 'popular' groups in high school, yeah.

When you last watched a movie, did you watch it alone or with someone? I watched with my sister.

Does your job allow piercings or tattoos? Yep.

Ever had a caricature done of yourself? How much was it, and were you satisfied with it? No, it's not really my style hehe so I wouldn't go out of my way to have one of myself done.

Do you like peanut butter and fluff sandwiches? I can't handle too-sweet food, so this just sounds so nasty to me.

Ever been to Gaia Online? Do you have an account? I may have visited it in my earlier years on the internet but didn't make an account.

Would you ever enlist in the army? Nope.

Last time you were at a job interview? How did it go? Around April, I think. It went well and they actually were messaging and following up with me about an offer, but the combination of 1) their adamant request for me to start in May (I told them I could only start in mid-June), and 2) the fact that I was likely getting a demotion with them, and 3) April simply being a busy month in my current work, I unintentionally ended up ghosing them. I don't feel too bad about it tbh because it really seemed as though the odds were stacked up against me from the start.

What’s one place you’d NEVER want to work at? Anything to do with banking, finance. I just simply know nothing about it lol

Do you use Tumblr? What do you normally post? Only for these surveys now. It's been well over a decade since I kept a fandom Tumblr.

Did you tease freshmen in high school? Continued from last weekend. No? That's so mean.

Have you ever been to Las Vegas? No.

Do you like Taylor Swift? Nope.

What’s your favorite Disney Channel movie? Ooh I really liked High School Musical, Wendy Wu, and Tw*tches growing up.

Do you ever have to do yard work? Nope.

Do you have any live versions of songs in your music software? I mean the ones I like are readily available on Spotify, if anything. I don't really download songs or like store them anymore.

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

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

Have you ever been to any sort of convention? Sure.

Is your mom or dad the older parent? They're the same age.

Last thing that pissed you off? Just people at work who still can't do the job right even after years of being given the opportunity to be trained to do the same thing over and over and over.

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

Would you ever visit a psychic medium? If you would, what would you wanna know? Nevaaahhhhhhh.

What’s something you have a very strong opinion about? Animal welfare/rights.

Are you family-oriented in everything you do? I'm becoming increasingly so...comes with getting older, I guess. Heh. I'm not affectionate and don't think I ever will be, but I show that I care in other ways, like being in the moment whenever we're on vacation.

Would you often call yourself a moody person? I can be.

Sleep position? Usually on my side.

Who is your best friend? Angela.

Do you have an online best friend as well? I dunno if I have a BEST friend but I do have several online friends I interact with regularly and have grown to also particularly like.

Who is your favorite person to spend time with? Myself.

Do you know how to grill a steak? Nope.

Do you mosh when you go to concerts/shows? Not really. I jump though. I usually give the people around me a heads-up that I'm a jumper, since not everyone usually shows their excitement at concerts lol.

When’s the last time you went to a nightclub? Last month.

Are you good at playing darts? I'm shit at darts but I like playing it whenever there's a dartboard around nonetheless.

Do you like breaded chicken sandwiches? YUMMY YES YES YES YES

Ever been friends with someone you didn’t expect? That's how I feel about majority of my online friends :)

Have you had any form of exercise today? I have not.

Is it easy for you to pretend everything’s okay? It's a breeze.

Do you prefer mint, citrus, or cinnamon toothpaste? Mint.

What’s your favorite color out of these five: Green, Yellow, Blue, or Purple? Those are four... but I like purple :)

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

Do you keep notes, drawings or letters that people give you? Yes.

Have you written or drawn anything for somebody else? Written, yes.

[purplesurveys]

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.

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.

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. :)
