Do you support freedom of speech? Of course, as long as that freedom is not used to advocate homophobia, racism, or sexism, or any form of oppression towards marginalized groups.
Are you ever told you are too opinionated? Yeah. My family loooves to use this word as their main adjective for me as Iāve always been the most vocal, unapologetic and rather radical one in my stances. All my relatives are more conservative and traditional so when it comes to like talking to their peers about me, my being opinionated is always the main thing they take pride in, as inĀ āRobyn isnāt afraid to say her thoughtsā orĀ āRobyn has always been very honestā lmao.Ā
Thereāll be times I will have an opinion that vastly clashes from theirs, usually politics, and theyāll do something Iāve always found hilarious in that theyāll talk about me behind my back to my mom and tell my mom to monitor my posts more. So ok, I guess itās nice to have a niece whoās unafraid to speak her mind but when itās different from how they think, theyāll do whatever it takes to silence me haha.
Do you hold grudges for long? I hold grudges for life.
What's in your garden/backyard? We donāt really have a garden. We just have a couple of large trees and several potted plants to decorate the front of the house but thatās it. For the backyard, I dunno the name for this particular type of flooring but ours is basically composed of stones embedded onto the ground so itās not very child-friendly. We do have a portion with more plants there and a basketball hoop for my dad to play/exercise with every morning.
Do you own a purple pillow? I donāt think so. My sister probably does as she loves pillows and stuffed toys and loves collecting either.
Do you have a brown blanket? I donāt.
Do you think diamonds, stars or hearts are prettier? I donāt really like any of these as designs.
Is Pink attractive on a man? This conversation died a long time ago lol. Anything can be attractive on anyone as long as theyāre comfortable with it lol.
Do you watch political shows? We donāt have those here as politics here are mostly emotionally-charged and regular debates wonāt work, coupled with the fact that we have a number of politicians who are merely celebrities or athletes and will be absolutely useless on such shows. News programs are enough politics for us.
When was the last time you visited the bathroom? I dropped off my dog at the shower five minutes ago as my mom had plans to give him a bath.
Do you like flying? When was the last time you were on a plane? Yepppp I really like riding planes. For me itās always been the biggest indicator that IāmĀ travelling and it gets me all excited. The last time was March last year when we went to Bicol for a short vacation.
Have you ever overflown a bath? No.
Do you appreciate brutal honesty? I know itās always best to hear it but sometimes itāll still sting.
Do you know what Runes are? No, Iāve never heard of it.
Do you play any Fantasy/Roleslaying Games? What? No. Fantasy is my least favorite genre of anything.
Do you like salami? Not really. Processed meats have never really sat well with me. < Oh my goodness same. I never liked how they taste or feel like. If someone ordered a pepperoni pizza Iāll always have to put some extra effort to remove the pepperoni on mine, usually to the horror of my friends lmao.
When was the last time you ate meat? We had binagoonganĀ for dinner an hour ago and that mainly consists of pork.
What was the last hot drink you drank? I heated water to make coffee but I usually leave it untouched for half an hour or so for it to cool down, as I hate drinking hot coffee in the summer.
Have your parents met your boyfriend/exes? They have met my girlfriend, but not as my girlfriend.
How about your boyfriendās parents? Met them? Yes, Iāve met my girlfriendās parents. Theyāre a delight, and theyāve been very nice to me from the very beginning.
Do you feel uncomfortable easily? Not really. There are just particular scenarios I donāt like being in, like if Iām running late or if Iām in a class with a prof notorious for screaming at or embarrassing their students.
Is there a girls/boys name you can't stand? Why? Name all you dislike: I donāt actively hate any names but I do have a predisposition to chuckle when I hear names like Karen, Becky, Susan, and Chad because theyāre now memes on the Internet hahahaha.
Do you know how to say I love you in at least 4 languages? Sure. I know how to say it in Spanish, English, Filipino, Korean, and French.
What age will you be when you times your current age by two? 44.
Do you find the sound of a cats purr relaxing? Itās cute but I donāt find it relaxing for the most part. I just get the sensation of being scratched or hissed at because cats donāt seem to like me.
Are you in a simple or complex mood? Right now itās a bit complex. Thereās a lot of things going on in my head right now and only surveys can calm me down for the meantime.
Do you know your Mum's first pets name? Iām not sure if it was their first but my mom occasionally talks about their family dog Collar.
Do you like car racing? No, but I have a number of friends who do. JM in particular is super passionate about it and has a lot of F1 stories to tell, and even though I donāt understand most of it or donāt recognize most of the people he talks about, itās always nice to have someone spill their interests onto you so I listen anyway. :) He once gave each of us a piece of tire that he got from the racetracks when he watched the Singapore Grand Prix last year, it was adorable.
Do you fall asleep with the TV/radio on? I put Netflix on. I used to put YouTube on but its autoplay will go on until I wake up and is a huge battery drainer. Netflix will only play a couple of episodes and stops the show completely when you fail to respond haha.
What is your closest uncle/aunt called? My momās cousins. Theyāre all several years younger than her so theyāre a lot hipper than my mom, were actually cool in their youth lmao, and are more understanding and accepting and open-minded about current issues. Theyāre the first relatives (that arenāt my sister or closest cousin) I came out to, and I appreciate them keeping the secret to this day.
Do you wear underwear to bed? Yep.
Who hugs you the most often? Itās a tie between Gab and Laurice.
Who was the last person you led astray? Uhhhh this sounds awful lol. Iād hate to have this kind of impact on someone.
Who was the last person who led you astray? No oneās done this to me as far as I know.
Would you ever want to be famous? If so, for what? Sure but I wouldnāt exert so much effort just to be famous, like joining a million auditions or contests. Itād be nice if, say, I just had a vlog and it was one of the lucky ones to hit the jackpot and end up having a decent following. Iāve always liked journaling my life and I feel like vlogging is the only method I havenāt dabbled with yet.
Is your phone a pay as go/talk or contract? Itās prepaid, which sounds like pay-as-go anyway. I put in a certain amount of money on my sim card to use for call and text, not the other way around.
What colour is your bedroom carpet? I donāt have one in my room cause my dog would much likely pee on it.
Do you get angry, depressed or nervous more? Nervous.
What is something obvious about you that everyone notices? Probably my teeth, and that my front ones arenāt straight.
Would you ever get a heart tattoo or your back? No.
Do you like Sapphires? The gemstones? Not really. Theyāre fine, but I wouldnāt go looking for them.
Do you own a torch? I donāt.
Marshmellow - Yum or Yuck? Yuck, in any way theyāre incorporated into food. I really dislike the chewy texture and I find them too sweet as well.
What fruit can't you stand? All of them, but the ones Iāve tasted and particularly hated are mango and pineapple.
Is there any smell that turns you on? What? Not really. My girlfriendās scent sometimes would, but it wouldnāt turn me on every single time I have a whiff of it lmao.
Do you wear more white or black? Black, but Iāve tried to lessen it recently because I feel like I wore black throughout college. Iām glad I at least got to experiment with yellow, olive green, maroon, pink, etc before they cut off the school year.
What age are most your friends? They were mostly born within the years 1997 through 1999.
Do you know anyone autistic? No, not personally.
How about someone bi-polar? Yes.
Are you judgmental? I definitely try not to be, but Iām sure I am. I try to at least check myself when I have judgmental thoughts. <Ā This. I can also be unapologetically judgmental but this is reserved for people who have behaved shittily in public, like if a white person yells at and/or mocks an Asian person on public transport, or if a Karen-type mistreats fast food workers.
What was the last thing you borrowed from someone? My sisterās eyeglasses cleaner.
I give you a kitty - what do you name it? Cinnamon was the first name that came to mind.
Why do you think your enemies don't like you? I donāt have any enemies.
What about you do you think your friends dislike? I get super cranky about other people sometimes and complain excessively about them if theyāre not doing their job right.
What do you consider private to you? Iām not private about anything as long as someone asks but I will be most reserved if I have to talk about my depression from Grade 6. Partly because Iāve forgotten a lot of it, partly because itās simply not worth it to go retracing the bits that I do remember.

to all the boys that will *never* love me:
Dear christian, stephen, mikio, oscar, royce, pat, manny, derrick, mars, gill, rex, max, kevin, and nick -- whether yāall were a crush or someone i saw myself being in a relationship with get ready bc iām going IN. Iām gonna use this time to rank these catastrophes from level 1 to level 5. level 1 being a crush yenno not so bad or scarring, and level 5 being sad machine playing while the world is burning to pieces like bish you left a MARK on my heart. if you know me i think you know who that person is hahaha
*alexa, please play truth hurts by lizzo*
christian - level 1. lol letās take a trip down memory lane to my first crush ever!! my gosh i remember being so kilig over this boy in elementary school at st. leander lol it was so obvious. hahaha. your spikey hair and like goofy ass smile i donāt know i was such a sucker for that. the first filipino boy i ever crushed on waow <3 but then I left st. leander and never spoke to you again. you went to oādowd, i went to sjnd and that was it really. you went to sfsu i went to usf. idk how we ever found each other on insta, but it is so cute to see posts of you and jasmine haha a USF don as well!! the lastĀ āconvoā (i wouldnāt even call it that) was when i commented on your graduation post and you commented back thanking me and saying congrats too. so happy that your trillest brand is killing it and you know nothing about me anymore but what a great time it was to know you were my first crush ever lol. thanks for this <3
stephen - level 1. lol i left st. leander and moved to sjes and was like ok, who am i gonna crush on now?? hello stephen, my first white boi lol. i knew fosho that you thought i was weird in elementary school like there is a particular time where in church i sat next to you and during the our father you did not want to hold my hand LMAO and thatās when i knew. i stood from afar. touched your thumb for heads up 7 up HAHAHA gosh you were so out of my league and such an asshole tbh. you and nick, forever making fun of me for liking mikio lmfao hate yāall forever. you went to lmu and that was history. lmao you were so mean to me. but all well. you were like not a good person i think i just liked you because of your looks? lol hahaha
mikio - level 2.5. oh my god the epitome of my boy problems in high school lmfao fuck you. jk. but high school mika wouldnāt take that back. oh myyyyy what a FLIRT were you. i had so many fantasies thinking weād be together, weād be m&m HAHAH BARF wow, and then you dated mel and it was just like??? then you were my escort but then i was like nope and switched you with ryann LOL suuuuper crazy like I donāt really remember the details of everything but i knew in high school being so kawawa over not being noticed by you. but then you went to davis, slo, and now in sl?? idk where you are now but you had my heart back then (barf) but that was such a long time ago that honestly it doesnāt phase me anymore!! a feeling high school mika wouldnāt have thought was possible. so thank you. i liked you because you gave me little glimmers of hope of like maybe we could be together -- you were nice, flirtatious, close to your family... not afraid to make a fool of yourself for the one youāre interested in. which wasnāt me but again thatās okay! I wrote a letter to you didnāt i? idk what i was doing why was i so dramatic tbh. you did things that honestly werenāt in my control so i canāt hate you really. again realizing that you fit my type so it just, idk
oscar -- level 1. when mikio was being a butt i knew i could crush on you. LOL the hugs, the convos, being able to laugh at anything when you were in the room what a time SJND was when you were there. now youāre in boston with your boo and iām still really regretful over not being able to see you when i was in boston last year but itās okay. happy that youāre happy out there :-)
royce and pat -- level 1.5. ah. USF college times man. these two were literally a duo. RAās of the 4th floor (share yall are silly for assigning that haha) and damn, what a trip it was to crush on you. royce you were a dj so thats how i knew my thing for djās came. you both did your jobs at raās, pat you were on eboard so i saw your hustle there which i super appreciated. and this is also how i knew filipinos were my type? lol. EVEN THO YALL WERE LIKE WITH BOOS lol i am cursed but yall had hustle, swagger, passion for what you love, and still made time for partying it up and studying. and now i see royce at parties sometimes n i would awk hug him (rip at the phoenix hotel party) and i havent seen pat since he graduated but hes so happy with becca!! so cute. and its cute (and weird) how kierst is happy with royce.
****DJ SPARKY/AGANA/YURI -- level 1. yall are djās who i will always cringe at bc of how naive i was at shooting my shot... BUT IM GLAD YOU ALL ARE THRIVING OK LETS DISMISS THOSE BOIZ NOWĀ
manny -- level 2.5. ahhhhh manny manny manny. my first trip towards using dating apps and matching with someone on TINDER!!! LOL!!!! ok anywho i met up with you for a few times and it was just like... a lot of question marks bc i didnāt really know where my standards were when it came to online dating. we went on dates? but the first time i paid, and the second time youĀ āforgot your cardā so i paid again?? and then you walked me to my dorm and kissed me on the forehead?? red alert!! then you kept wanting like a second chance, to prove me wrong and i kept ignoring you bc wtf lmao... then i was foolish to let you into my life again and realized that was a mistake and blocked you again. and now youāre like a bonafide dj living your edm dreams. i saw you at audio TWICE omg rip. i liked you because lol ur filipino, a dj, buttered me up a whole ton which again problematic bc i didnāt see any of it within myself... but its okay mika is better now. better to not be talking to you. but thank you for being my stepping stone into dating apps.
derrick -- level 1. omg at times i forget about you! which i donāt know is a good or bad thing but i donāt think i ever told anyone about you lol. we met on okc, this filipino boi (lol a trend) andddd i went on like two dates with him? one, i met up with him at that one coffee spot near golden gate park. then we walked over to ggp and we just talked and thinking about it now it was very ideal for me to be myself fully, in public if that makes sense. you were so nice and genuine omg. we went to sweet maple the second time around and you paid for the food which was like wow!! diff than manny!! and i remember talking to you about kh and you loving it as much as me. but i got scared because you were like 26 or somn? i was still 20 i think and i was like this dude might be asking a lot out of me...so i told him theĀ āthis is on me i donāt feel ready and not sure how i feelā spiel. and that was history. i honestly donāt know what he is doing now but he was really nice. i felt no malicious intentions from me, i just wasnāt ready to move forward w him. the first nice guy i ever let down bruh. ugh.i hope youāre doing well now though.Ā Ā
mars -- LEVEL 5. fuck me i hate this chapter SO MUCH lmao. so many drunk cries and just cries in general post this whole... like chapter. but lets start off with why i liked you: handsome as hell, close to your family, athletic, hustled, SO MF KIND EVEN WHEN I WAS BEING CRAZY, a great homie and bf quality, gave me the false hope of likeĀ āyeah ill see if i can come throughāĀ āill let you know when i listen to thisā the forever ILL LET YOU KNOWS but still views my stories and still doesnāt let me know mentality.... you never initiated any of our convos. i was STRAIGHT pursuing you even though i didnāt believe that youād change your mind about just seeing me as a friend. you made that clear to me from the start but i didnāt take that as an answer LOL which is why i was so crazy to keep hanging out with you... even tho you were super busy and i felt like a burden you STILL made time with me, whether that was peruvian food, or thursday nightlife followed by dancing at a bar together (which i ruined when you took me home and asked you about your love language lmao), souvla, and then our final time of seeing each other: san tung and tpumps. what a fucking few months that was...only to come out of it with another girlfriend with the same name as me. LIKE WHAT. ARE. THE. ODDS. i still canāt believe it till this day. my gosh you were so nice to me mars. such a great homie. and i wasnt empathetic or smart enough to make diff decisions to retain what we had...but im happy that youāre happy with mika. other mika. yeah. man i never felt so in the dark when going through this time, this was so rough. i wasnāt eating, iād cry in bed for days, it was so bad. iād like to say that Iām healed from that though. lol to burning the shirt which honestly i should have kept bc it was a cute shirt.. but yeah. thank you.
gill -- level 1. lol you were dumb to think i was attractive enough to dance with at the soulection event. we exchange numbers and i think because i told you i was 21, you backed off. lol guess i was a fetus then. still am. lmao. we text for a bit but then i find out you tried to get into arcillaās pants?? lMAO. oh and then i see you at that pool party, saw you talking to other girls and i broke DOWN bc i was crossed as hell LOL sorry ate kayla that you had to take me home that day LOL ugh i hate myself for that night. and then i see you right in front of me at OSL. in 2019?? for childish?? that was such weird weird fate. thank god you didnāt recognize me (i had long black hair there, you remembered me with short brown hair plus it was dark). i just thought it was crazy. uhm you had the fuckboy vibe and look on point.. knew everything about soulection. family oriented. but it just fizzled bc i blocked you and then just stopped talking to you lol.
*****chris l/frankie -- level 1. again i cringe at how dramatic i pursued yall sorta as crushes but for sure bc yall were soulcycle and about fitness YES bodies 10/10 and you understood soul. but omg chris pls get ur life together (which is what it seems like ur doing??) and frankie well youāve been having your life together being married and all so0o0o0 im trash for crushing lmao BUT IM GLAD THATS ALL IN THE PAST AND THAT WEāVE FORGOTTEN i think lmao
rex -- level 0.5. lmfao you were dumb youāre gonna keep looking at me and emily only for me to make the move in letting you know i was interested, follow you on ig, and then you block me?? weirdo. bye.
MY HINGE BOYS </3Ā
Max -- level 3. oh maximus lmao. we talked for a whole month and what a pleasure it was to text you every day, receive and send memes, curate playlists, be w/ each other at different events... only for it to end after we netflix party/facetime where i donāt feel the kilig iād feel when texting you. so i told you i wanted to be friends. and then i try to still reach out and be friends, but i got delayed responses to no responses. and now you just, look at my stories? lmao i know it donāt mean shit to look and you recently liked my post, but i feel like i invested a lot into our quarantine reality. you had GREAT music taste (even tho ur playlist was a lil questionable), for all i know you were just telling me things to like get you on my good side, motivated, privileged......... yeah. i hope you find your 5ā²0 qt rave queen that can go to events with u
KEVIN -- level 1. lmfao honestly you SUCK hahaha even with the benefit of the doubt, it does not take 10 hours to reply...even if you are busy at work NICK AND MAX WERE ABLE TO!!! you were spotty to begin with but then we netflix party and then you dont talk to me anymore after i ask if we could exchange music playlists? i didnt even ask u to be my boyfriend its a fucking playlist.... we talked about music so much. ugh BOYS ARE SO DUMB LIKE SERIOUSLY. hope amazon treats ya right
NICK -- level 4. ugh. ughguhgughgh. i liked you because your profile/resume was all my criteria: music taste A1 bc of bryson, i hated mint chip, i loved spongebob (even tho you NEVER sent me spongebob memes fuck u), you were hapa (he he but fuck u) (i laugh while typing this i am so dum), uhm. yeah. we talked everyday consistently for two weeks. you were such a joy to text bc you were funny (i was funny too), even tho it was hard to keep the convo going w you at times in the beginning because you never inquired about me at times. max did. its like you were better than mars, but not like A+ in replying like max was. you never really flirted with me? lmao i mean even those attempts of me tryna bait you, i always got... friend vibes. benefit of the doubt maybe you just didnāt know how to flirt but you had posts of your past relationship up on your feed so you cant tell me that that exp did not have you pursue a girl and flirt her up. to me, there was no initiative from you. i was chasing you for sure. this dating life is a two way street -- life doesnāt work where one pursues you only otherwise like no. bet if i went the fuckboi approach, gave you lame responds would you have kept the convo going? prolly not bc ur a cancer and want to feel needed. the only thing ill commend you on is when youād apologize for delays in text messages but then you kinda stopped that. like understand i should also feel like i should be pursued and never did i feel that i felt like you just responded just to respond... like youāre a cancer its in your nature to dive deep and ask deep questions but you never did, you were the type to play video games with your pals LMAO and like/????/? me understanding gamer life i was like YES this boy gets me but like CMON. lol so many things. ok maybe i am reading too into this but this is the freshest heartache :/ you never like told me i was cute or anything like... max made remarks about my looks and you never did. i mean cool maybe you were just vibing off my energy but i just now question if you were actually interested in me? bc i was trying so hard to make you like me. every meme, was a move. you didnt play your cards right!! its like i kept hitting you with plus fours, and then all youād put down is the same color number card. where was the fun in that? it was super effortless but anxiety filling for me at the same time bc i was convinced that you were the one. :ā/ super good news to hear that you wanted to meet virtually literally NO EXPECTATIONS but then monday rolls around, you dont text me the whole day, i check in at 530, you tell me you go to costco instead and want to reschedule bc you thought i was ghosting you????? wtf did u just like expect me to just call u right at 7 and expect u to be ready?? max texted me after work and was likeĀ āwe still on right?ā so i was high key expecting that from you bc 1. show interest and 2. take initiative but you DIDNāT!! so i was honest in telling you how i felt but kept it light and asked to reschedule. you take forever to reply, but when you do you tell me it was silly OF ME to think you were supposed to confirm it which i get i initiated it i shoulda texted you earlier (but what if i had the worst day ever and couldnāt text you??? would you have just let it be and not text me anymore bc you assumed i ghosted you???) you also said that you thought maybe it was too quick to assume that i ghosted you which is YES tru. however i was not going to apologize for not texting you earlier and waiting for you to reply bc boy, that was on you to make a move to double check. if i was in your shoes i woulda texted. that would indicate to me that oh wow this boy is making sure we are meeting and confirming! even drop a hey hows your day you excited for tonight? i made it obvious to hype you up on your photos and everything, you just were like wow your photos are so good! wow i hope you posted that picture! like idk. i kept it light bc i still really wanted to meet you, and just wanted to attribute this small ass thing as a misunderstanding between the two of us but after long hours of making me wait, you decide you donāt want to reschedule because you were unsure of how you were feeling and that you couldn't put your all in and said sorry. no sentiment towards wanting to be friends just a straight goodbye which basically meant, in harsher terms im prolly not as down as you are for me and maybe i am nervous to meet u (idk ill never know if you were) anddd im not interested anymore bc youāre crazy and ME being the womyn that i am ended up being the mature one and said the goodbye hope you have a good life without me text and then our lovestory ended lololol what a great two weeks am i right? honestly maybe you still need to do some growing buddy but relationships are not easy going they are a two way street but also ill never know maybe you were just texting me just to text me and you still wanted to be the nice guy bc you were scared of how invested things would be post call so you call it off and it was just in the moment for you to be down but then have it change on another day.... i woke up in a better headpsace today about how this turned out but like god fucking dammit i had high hopes for you you infj CANCER. *squidward voice* so thanks. thanks for NOTHING (this is when you start your spongebob dialogue of all how to get everyone on board for practicing for the bubble bowl and sing sweet victory)
so, the end LOL basically. to all the boys who will never love me, ultimately thank you for being a part of my life. thank you srsly. thank you for making me exp the pain, the kilig, the uh everything. growing pains these are, but at the end of the day, i hope you have a good life. whether or not we cross paths again this gives me clarity as to what iām looking for and what i deserve. this goalgetting, resilient, funny, hardworking, awkward but in the best way pinay is a force to be reckoned with!!! she has the best support system out there!!! she has so much to live for because she is determined to not let down anyone counting on her!!!! so fuck u for missing out on that!!!
k. my ideal man list is coming soon. until then... see ya later.
xoxo,
Mika (allison to some)

21 questions
I'm late I'm so sorry vslndjwndks.
/////

Favorite musician: ooohhh that's so hard I listen to a lottttt of artists. I think rn the answer is Jojo, because I've loved her music since I was little!

Song stuck in my head: Ghost of You by 5SOS. It inspired an angsty fic that I'm gonna plot tonight, and probably shelve for future use after I finish my zine piece and my other chapterfics.
My other blogs: oof okay. @apieceforthewrongpuzzle is my studyblr. I don't use it much and mostly reblog, just for resources and helpful tips. @themundanebeautyproj was for a school assignment and I haven't deleted it bc i use it to save posts i want to find easily since i dont use it as often-- ergo, less reblogged shit to scroll through. And @haikyuutales-a-collection is the blog for my haikyuu folktales zine! I'm currently taking a short break from the PR since I don't have discord access, but follow that blog if you wanna be updated about the zine's progress and see sneakpeeks and stuff later on in the creation process!
Do I get asks: I've had a few. Some on anon, most from friends. I wouldn't mind more though!
Following: uhhhhhhh 524...? Whoops
Followers: 80! Wow that's a lot. Thanks guys!

What I'm wearing: an "okay? Okay." Shirt that has two sad little cuts in the bottom left from who knows where and black and green sports shorts-- yknow, the weird holey ones.

Favorite food: bacon or chocolate! Also rice. Fuck yeah rice is great
Play any instruments: i briefly tried to learn guitar but soon gave up. So no. I sing tho.
Languages: English is my mother tongue, obviously, it's what I grew up speaking, but I have a pretty decent grasp of Filipino (mostly comprehension, my grammar is shit). I also know very very basic Mandarin. Not a lot. Briefly tried to use duolingo for french so i have a smattering of vocab in that language. I also once had a phase where i tried russian.

Favorite songs: ..... don't ask me this. I listen to a Lot

I like to lick my lollipops slow and whatever idk, and i only eat orange ones
I studied STEM in my last 2 years of hs and hated it, my whole class knew I should've gone humanities bc that's where my passion was
I discovered I liked writing in 7th grade a week after I turned down an invitation from the writing club to join the invitational science club instead. I didn't have much fun. (Seems like foreshadowing....)
I was once in the top 24 students for math in my grade level-- out of 280 students give or take. Only for 4th and 5th grade tho.

Bonus-- describe yourself as aesthetic things: polaroids and old letters, open notebooks and fountain pens, calligraphy inks in bottles lined up on shelves. Sunsets through windows and a girl with her arms spread wide in the rain. Also fairy lights and lanterns. A single knife blade. Headphones.

Who is She? 33 - Dolores Huerta
Short version: So this will be my only new piece for Women's History Month 2019. It's a larger illustration of Dolores Huerta featuring many symbols that represent parts of her life both big and small. Dolores is one of the most revolutionary women living. As the co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union her selfless activism and organizing helped to not only change the lives of the farm workers across California, but it continues to inspire young women and people all over the world.
It is a crime that more attention, respect, and admiration is not given to her. I just finished working on a project about her and had the chance to learn a lot more about her. But, if you're not familiar with Dolores, I highly recommend watching the most recent documentary by Peter Bratt. It will give you a good glimpse into her life. Then go check out her foundation because she is still organizing! I give Dolores and her family so much respect and thanks. Happy women's day!Ā
Longer Version: So, here is a slightly longer version but I am not going to go over her entire life just some of the words, drawings, and symbols I included. I would highly suggest watching the documentary if you are not a reader. If you're a reader go check out her foundation.
Stockton- Ok so Dolores was born in Dawson New Mexico, but she grew up in Stockton California. Although her dad was a farm worker and organizer, she was raised by her mom and siblings. There she watched her mom hold down jobs and eventually run a hotel which was not a typical thing for most women to do in the 30s. It was through her mom that she got her first feminist role model; saying that she never had to cater to her brothers. Her mother made them all work equally; which is often not the case in some Latinx families. Dolores attended school in Stockton in what was a very mixed setting, but she also experienced racism there in the treatment of students of color and her education.Ā
Dancing/Jazz-Dolores loved to dance and she loves music. One of her favorite genres is Jazz. She helped organize a dance, danced herself, and made time to go see musicians play live.Ā
Fred Ross-After working as a teacher and witnessing the conditions the children of farm workers lived in she dedicated her life to organizing. It is then that she met Fred Ross who ran the Community Service Organization (CSO). He taught Dolores about organizing and she became a bad ass at it. She was so persuasive and hard working that they soon promoted her to take policy changes to the states capitol.
Cesar Chavez-Another bad ass who worked with and was trained Fred Ross is Cesar. Cesar grew up as a child of farm workers and understood their experiences first hand. He was also a star at organizing and soon Fred was partnering Cesar and Dolores up. Cesar would also go on to be one of the most revolutionary activists of his time.
NFWA-National Farm Workers Association- Together Dolores and Cesar left the CSO and co-founded a small organization aimed at specifically organizing Latinx farm workers in Central California. They called it an association rather than a union because unions were outlawed and union organizers were being hunted.Ā
Huelga sign- After getting a jump from the Filipino workers AWOC (Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee) they joined forces with Dolores and Cesar to form what would become world famous as the United Farm Workers or UFW. The symbol for their flag inspired by Aztec iconography and later becoming a symbol for organizing, social justice, and Chican@ pride. The word Huelga means "strike" in both Spanish and Tagalog the languages spoken by the multicultural UFW. Ā
Si! Se Puede!- Dolores was a leader who often went into towns, cities, and communities to speak with folks, hear their needs, and to organize them. Ā She did this with wit, strength, and humility. But, if anyone ever told her she couldn't do something which both white folks and macho men of color often did, she'd say yes we can. Si Se Puede! Which is a slogan she came up with and was later used by Barack.
The Feminist fist- I included this because although Dolores was brought up Catholic in a traditional Latinx family she was brought up with some very feminist ideas. And when she met feminists on a trip to NYC to promote the grape strike of the mid 60s she gained some new ideas. At first she didn't rock with all of what they said, but then slowly she started to change her mind, incorporating them into her life. This is important, because of in el movimiento there can be sexism. Women from the Black Panther Party have spoken about this as well.
Family-So Dolores amazingly had 11 children! She now has 17 grand kids as well. So, as a movement parent she lifted up farm workers and fought for revolutionary causes. She worked tirelessly to do this for decades. But, her family life was sacrificed in many cases. She got married three times and often was away organizing. Her grown children have not held back in saying they were sometimes angry with her, left behind, or frustrated. They understand why she did what she did, but it was not easy. Somehow with little to no money (organizers don't get paid often) she raised and got help raising her kids.Ā
Billy club- I put that in there because she was beaten by the San Francisco Police Department. They broke her ribs and she had to be hospitalized. She has been arrested over 20 times in her life.
Why? Ok, so why did Dolores do all this work? Why sacrifice? A couple of reasons. The Mexican and Latinx workers who grew, picked, and serviced the farm lands that feed the United States were being exploited. They were being ripped off financially. Whenever possible the white farm owners undercut their pay. leaving them with not enough money to pay for proper housing (Dolores' mom often let workers stay for free because of this) , food, clothing, and/or schooling for their kids. Their kids could not attend school, they had to work in the fields to help support the family. The working conditions were horrible. Imagine bending over all day to pick fruits and vegetables without proper breaks, no drinking water, no bathrooms, or shade. Workers were . threatened if they asked for these things and fired if they attempted to form a union. They had no sick time, no benefits, no regular raises, and no support if they got ill. Lastly, Ā the farm owners were poisoning their workers as they worked them to death (life expectancy was in the 50's). The farm owners had their fields sprayed with harsh chemicals such as DDT known to cause cancer. Because of all this Dolores was passionate about fighting for these workers.Ā
Victory-And you know what? They organized among the Filipino and Latinx workers striking for years, bringing down a boycott that reached across the US . This eventually took so much money out . of the growers pockets that they forced them to the negotiating table, winning better working conditions, rights, and pay for the families. Dolores is a bad ass!
There's a lot I'm leaving out, but please check out more of the drawing and go find out more about this woman's life! Ā If you wanna see more women I've drawn for Women's History Month click HERE.

FAHM17 - October 7th, Talia Quaadgras
Meet Talia Quaadgras, a sophomore at Northeastern University. She is a Filipino-American who wasnāt heavily influenced by Filipino culture while she was growing up.
How would you describe your upbringing?
I would most closely identify it with an American and Dutch-centric upbringing; I learned how to cut my food the European way and sing Dutch happy birthday songs, but I never learned anything very culturally Filipino.
What challenges did you face growing up as a Filipino/Filipino-American?
I didn't really understand how I was different when I was fairly young, or why I felt like I was kept at a distance from some of my white peers. Once I moved into a community with a larger Asian presence, I felt that I didn't fit into the largely Asian friend groups either, and this might have been because I was second-generation Filipino, and thus further removed from the culture, or because the Asian population didn't have any Filipino presences. Probably a combination of both.
Have you ever struggled with your racial/ethnic/cultural identity? Describe this struggle and how you overcame it.
I definitely have, especially as I came to realize how unbalanced my cultural upbringing was-- I felt a little betrayed by my parents that I know so many Dutch traditions, and while that's understandable (I'm first-gen on my dad's side and I have Dutch citizenship) I felt that a dichotomy of Filipino and Dutch culture could have been integrated into my life without compromising either side. In reaction to realizing this, I've made efforts to get in touch with Filipino culture through food, reading, following current events, and learning from a Filipino community.
How has being involved in a Filipino cultural organization helped you to connect with your culture?
I don't really know what a Filipino-American can be like in my generation. Sure, they're a person, but I can learn what people have held on to in their families, little things that I can ask my mother about, to know if that's something that we could have done in our family, and that I could try to bring into my own life. It definitely gives me a bit of a FOMO feeling, but I can't go back and change anything in the past, so instead I try to channel the FOMO a little more productively.
How has your Filipino student org impacted your life?
They've been pretty great. Overall, I'm not the most involved member, but it's nice to have a community of people that I share a little bit of my identity with that I can just be with for a little while-- there's a sense of understanding who I am there, what my underlying identity is, that I just can't get around most of the other people I hang out with. They don't officially mean to, but they've motivated me to investigate my cultural background more, and I'm planning on taking a trip to the Philippines sometime during college to see my roots in person.
Describe a significant event in your life that shaped who you are today.
Moving from a predominantly white, conservative town to a more liberal, diverse town.
What do you feel most grateful for your life?
My parents' support in most everything I do.
Tell us about someone who has had a big influence in your life.
My grandmother- she's such a strong person, and she's infinitely giving. She created Zurich's international Women's society, decades ago, and she always believes the absolute best of me, no matter how much I try to tell her that I have faults.
Describe the happiest moment of your life.
I don't think I have one? That'd be so much pressure, I'd be comparing everything else that ever happens to me to that one moment, and not achieving that level of happiness again, well that'd suck a little.
Can you tell us about one of your most difficult memories?
I got sexually assaulted by someone I thought was a friend. I was ok in the end, but I was kind of messed up for a few days after, and I don't like to talk about it a lot. Ā
What has been one of your biggest regrets in life so far?
Not spending more time with my grandfather before he passed.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ideally with a stable job, traveling occasionally.
What traditions have been passed down your family?
Little Dutch traditions, like leaving shoes out to celebrate Sinterklaas day, and one or two small Filipino things, like eating rice with absolutely every meal.
Describe your immediate/household family.
I have mom, who's Filipino, my Dutch immigrant father, and a younger brother, who's a halfie like me.
Do you have any stories involving your older/deceased ancestors?
I know my Filipino grandfather worked for the US Navy, during the Korean War, I believe, so he could later bring my grandmother and the rest of the family to the US later.
Describe an extended family member you are most attached to and the relationship you have with him/her.
My grandmother-as previously noted- but my eldest cousin is cool too. She's half Indian and half Dutch, no Filipino in her, but I've looking up to her for most of my life. She's always been a few steps ahead of me in life, but not too far ahead she forgets some of the struggles, so she gives pretty good advice.
Is having a knowledge of family history important? Why or why not?
I think a bit of immediate family history is important. I want to know what shaped the people that are shaping me, I think that helps me understand where they're coming from and why they do some of the things they do.
What does it mean to be successful in your family?
Success has to do with following your passion. It used to be pretty chemical-engineering focused, but that didn't work out super well for a lot of family, so they've revised it to finding and pursuing passions that are truer to themselves. I''ll be pretty supported in what I want to do as long as I can prove I'll be able to manage myself.

I need this to hold my fluids š¦ .
I am feeling sickly today. I am sore š but I feel chills. I did a lot yesterday and I was doing it in a very interspersed divvied way and how it works for my allotted time š° particularly when I need and feel like eating š½. I am hungry š. Shocker. I ate so much cookies šŖ yesterday and I feel like I am nullifying the good work that I have been doing. There is some hope. I compared my STATs šššfrom last week, a little weight difference but a point in body fat, gawd, that one percent is huge to me. I donāt have an idea š” of what that means visually. Oh, right Laura said at around 6 pounds adipose tissue loss. I chat with Heather and she also said a great point, muscle weight and š fat weight. Ah š§. I am not going to lie and everybody are sensitive about it, there are many girls far too thin and are going to look š skeletal š¦“. My friend Susan and I are astutely talking about the pain and hurts that they donāt deal with that they feel itās their weight they have to control to an extreme degree. I also added social forces such as the pressure of catching a husband š°š¼ and appearing like the stick thin models like in Victoriaās Secret, etc. They are not selling sensible. Itās not healthy. They also have a cader of trainers š to make sure they donāt keel over. Yes, you can die from an eating disorder. I feel that these girls and boys who despite an imbalance in body image of all things go to the gym šš¼āāļø šŖš¾ and can bravely face their fears of being big and work on recovery. I hope š¤š¾ they feel good about themselves and lead to acceptance of things as they are and they can work on being better. I on the other hand look š at how unshapely my thighs are. However, I keep my desired body in mind. Itās appropriate that I remind everyone of what it is.
Beauty š. Health. Most, strength.
Also, before I left it out, yesterday, I didnāt follow Lauraās meal š„ plan. I got hungry š right away. You should ask her for the winning formula. Every Filipino doctor š„¼ would swear š¤š¾ by rice š. Nope. She actually went to school for it and has a license. Like a graduate š degree. She has passion for food š©š¼āš³ and went overseas to learn more about the diets people who live over a hundred partake. She invited me to her class. I am looking š forward. I refine my approaches esp behaviors towards the stuff we put in our mouths, how you get them and prepare. I am a freak of nature. I am tractable and can adapt without hardship. When I see a problem, I look š at it straight in the eye and make the necessary changes.
I just noticed that my Dad is being militaristic. He was like that too yesterday. I scampered prepping my gym bag. I usually bark back but I am being a good daughter. Now that I see that heās being strict, I should answer him back not because I am like that but to give him a sense of what heās being like and put it in a context. Reality testing if you will to see if the way to doing it is the best way or if something is not going right figure out why and as always, there is more than one way to doing things and not everyone are built a like. I maybe the stellar š kid, but currently, I am a royal š screw up. Ugh š.
youtube
Hmmm... Ok, letās channel what Friday was like. Itās a haze now. I was off Saturday and Sunday was so not princessy šøš¼. I know I have a schedule š
but my execution and handle of time is loose. Itās like I know the big rocks, the little rocks are what I do in between I do in between. They are not planned. They are random, haphazard, a whirlwind and on a whim. I took a lot of pictures ļæ½ļæ½ that day because I was not at the bottleneck. I keep on saying to everyone that every floor space is packed with machines. Oh, it could get busy. I didnāt eat my breakfast š„ in the car š. I ate with leisure in the cafĆ© slowed and mindfully to myself. I saw Katie and she gave me a side low five. I have been muscle rolling and because I canāt feel the tightness and pain in my back I say it works. I do it how Molly and Ian said I should, before and after.
I had limited time although it was more than what I usually have on the end of the week. I was excited š because I get to lift weights. Weird gal. But I am past what girls think š¤ or feel about being muscular. For me, itās part of the job and really I see the power š„ in it really. I see the oozing confidence on the girls with well formed shoulders and I want to be just like them. I am intimidating, what a surprise, and I donāt want to instill fear. I want to be approachable and for the most part I donāt want to teach that those you look š up to are nasty . In fact, I am noticeably too kind. Good, I get to be myself. I know amazing people get raps and atttact enemies. Itās great that you donāt lose yourself in the process and be who you are and not be full of yourself. Competition throws you off, show who is the talent. Right, I am on offense.
I cannot remember what my impressions were of the day. Usually, I have a recollection of what I was thinking š or what I was feeling. After three days. Maybe I should look at the pictures to remind me of things.
I started in the paddle bike š² for sure. Was this the day I saw Susan, Tito Ronald and Emily? IDTS. Ah, my sister and her BFF were there. She was texting me š² and she was at the gym. I didnāt start at the paddle bike š² I was at the rower š£š¼āāļø. I was at the Alpha CrossFit section. Vie, you are not intimidate? I am not going to explain it and go through the nitty gritty. But know this, they have the best new machines and there was no one there. Ugh š, they have a tracker that records your STATs ššš. Yes, I am not going to lie š¤„. I am considering it. Yesterday, I am searching for training packages. Like when I signed up for a membership, I chose a plan that had 150 $LT bucks at you could use it towards many services. There were many options. Aaron discussed with me what they have at that time and I chose 60 Day Challenge. The program is actually great because it gives you so many tools š§°š§ to improving your body, how you feel about it, how you nourish it and how you care for it. My sister and her BFF use them for PT, no itās not physical therapy šš¼āāļø . I wondered š if there is a package thatās not like 1,000 bucks to have like a month of physical training. Itās not pricey š² š²š²š²š²š²but knowing me, I want a great deal š·. I am poor. I am a graduate š student and really, who has unlimited money šµ. I remember telling my clientās late wife how I like getting things cheaper because you are left with more money š° in your pocket. But Vie, right now, has none. How confident and can you stand up knowing you donāt have a lot of money at your disposal. How comfy can you be? What makes you able to withstand teeming luxury. I wonāt give you the answer. You have to discover that for yourself. Little? Like in term of what, you have a womanās part? Vie, you are as sexist as you are plucky. How about I can be a peacock š¦. I wonder what you have that you can be like that. Itās not intellectual humility š for sure. Ugh š .
I was showing some nerves this day and I actually embraced it. Vie is so unsure š in her footing. I like it. How do you behave in a room full of testoerone. Like a girl without a doubt. Like a total loser š¤. Like someone who is out of place. Grow up. I know, I am still adulting. I couldnāt find my fave arm machine. It was the one where I do my shoulders, the muscles behind my shoulder blades and my chest. I had to go in the big machines for big boys. My friend Maricar goes there to work out. I am not intimidate probably because I have been a gym goer for as long as I have been in college š āš¾. I told you about the story of how I showed up in the Notre Dame rec center to work out. The hours are limited and the student body is largely student athletes š½. I refused to participate because I want to complete my degree š . Well, not exactly. Yet, I was on the treadmill and this guy was just staring š³at me like she has never seen a girl step on that machine before. Yes, the nuns are very very strict. I played it smart in the bench and I have a plan on how to build my back stronger. I started on 7.5 lbs instead of 10 and I want to stay on it for a few weeks š until I can grab a heavier iron. Thank God, I had a book š so I donāt stare into space. My gawd, nerd wimp on the floor. Can I like kick your butt? What like mind jujitsu? No, Iāll put a bullseye šÆ on your groin. Feisty.
My stretching šš¼āāļø time is long and I feel that I have to figure out a way to fine-tune it or perhaps I am doing it so mindfully that my counts are way not on a New York š minute. It has to be improved. I hung out downstairs. I wasnāt hungry š and I spend time on the phone š± sort of not berating but telling off flex your muscles on my undelivered Zellaās š . I donāt think UPS š can be so incompetent. I did stuff on my phone š² after. I went upstairs. Oh, I must be in a funny š mood. I for some reason have the silliest things to say. I said bye to Katie earlier as I left the floor after stretching and she was vacuuming and sheās really a great worker. I had to go back and say it, āYou know what you remind me of? Ghost š» busters.
Vie: the tire lady
Katie:
I feel that I have that I have exhausted myself out talking. I can feel it in my brains š§ . To say how my day went plainly, I did 30 minutes on the paddle bike š² and wanted to follow it up with 60 minute Metcon. I felt I need fuel ā½ļø. I went downstairs to eat. I went up I did some time in the treadmill only to find out that my Mom was 1 minute away.
My package š¦ has finally arrived āļø.

If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be? My obvious choices would be BeyoncĆ© and Hayley Williams. But to change it up a bit, I would love to meet Meghan Markle. What's the first line of the nearest book you can reach? Itās the preface, and it says,Ā āThe MSA Simulated College Admission Test Modules are written for the potential college freshmen who need to prepare for college entrance tests given by the countryās finest universities and colleges.ā Hah, itās a college entrance test reviewer. Gabieās sister is part of the next batch who will be taking the exams, so Iām passing on my old reviewers and modules to her which explains why this is the book nearest to me right now. What does the last text message on your phone say? āLetās talk on fbcā If you could be any colour of crayon, what would you be? Burgundy or maroon. I like bold colors. If you could be anywhere in the universe right now, where would you be? I woulddddd like to be at the farthest tip of the universe, just so we can finally learn just how big it all is.
Do you have a strange talent? If so, what is it? I can recite the entire screenplays of Titanic, The Proposal, and Breakfast at Tiffanyās, which makes me an awful companion for these movies. If you discovered a new species of animal, what would you call it? Iād leave it up to the scientists to name it tbh because I might probably give it an awful name without meaning to. What's the weirdest name for a phobia? Most of them already sound pretty weird to me lmao. For instance Iād never expect acrophobia to refer to a fear of heights, because it just sounds like a fear of acrobats :(( And triskaidekophobia sounds nothing like a fear of the number 13. If you ever had the chance, would you eat a frog? Yes. Iāve already eaten frog legs as it is. They taste just like chicken. Do you prefer being indoors or outdoors? Depends on where I am when it comes to either. I can enjoy both. When you're indoors, what will you most likely be doing? Indoors can mean a lot of things dude. I can be strolling around, eating, going through my phone, playing bowling, watching a movie, etc. Are you good at lying? I can lie if I have to, but I hate doing it. What was the last lie you told? I didnāt technically lieĀ but like I had to act fake last Friday around a guy I donāt particularly like, but had to hang out with because heās Angela and Hansās friend. I kinda had to lie through my personality and show him that everything was okay, which I think counts? Hahaha. I canāt remember the last verbal lie I had to tell. The next song that comes up is a new emotion: I donāt have anything playing on my Spotify. What's your favourite food? Burgers, for sure. What is your greatest weakness? Chewy chocolate chip cookies. What's the weirdest thing you've said whilst drunk? I donāt remember half the shit I say when Iām drunk, but I bet those bits that I forget are the weird ones. Do you collect anything obscene or unusual? If yes, what do you collect? Nope, no weird collections in my room. Finish the sentence: What if... Everybody hates what ifs, thereās no need to trigger right now. What's your favourite smell? I like food smells, basically. I like the smell of chicken being fried, curry being cooked, cookies being baked, the smell of bakeries and coffee shops, my order getting placed in front of me... I just love food aahhhh. If you were ever granted one single wish, what would you wish for? To have all the money that I would ever need and want. You're given the chance to name a newly found city. What do you call it? Iād probably have to borrow an ethnic word for this, because the Filipino language is pretty badass. What do you like about your favourite band? Their songs are always intensely personal and relatable, they arenāt afraid to switch music styles, they keep going back to the Philippines heheheh, and they ALWAYS insist that theyāre a band ā itās seen in how Hayley always wants to be credited as āHayley Williams from Paramoreā in all her gigs, and never just as Hayley Williams. Are you creative? I wouldnāt say that. But now you got me all spooked because this was the theme of the first episode of the Donāt Hug Me Iām Scared videos D: What is the meaning of life to you? I never go on Tumblr for deep questions like this, so pass. What do you consider yourself a number one fan of? Thatās a bold statement, but Iād like to think thatās me with Audrey Hepburnnnn. What's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you? One time I was driving a little fast when the car in front of me suddenly stopped to take a turn. I didnāt know if I was going to be able to hit the brakes and if my car could slow down enough not to hit them; and at the time I was already thinking about either crashing to my death or dealing with an angry driver (even though they were the dumbass for suddenly stopping). I didnāt hit the car, but there was a literal centimeter of space left between my car and theirs; my car also got shaken up from its brakes getting floored that the engine made a weird sound for a few seonds. I was left overwhelmed and with so much adrenaline so I ended up crying for like a full hour after. Imagine you've just started a band. What would the band be called? Iām terrible with names so I hope this is the last question asking me to come up with a name for something. The name of your first album: BOY AM I WRONG. The name of your first single: You write your autobiography, the title is: What's your biggest pet peeve? Gotta be a tie between freeloaders and arriving late. What do you wish the weather could be like right now? Iām always wishing it were raining and that it could always be a little colder. What's the weirdest pet name you've ever heard? Recently I saw someone I know have the pet nameĀ ābubbapā for their bf, which was new to me. What were you doing this time last year? Ooh, luckily I had a 2019-themed Instagram where I tried to take one photo every day for the year 2019 and it covers January 14! My photo for that day was my wrist covered in lipstick swatches, which I now remember as the day Kate, Jo, Aya, Laurice, and I went to UPTC, snacked at a milk tea place and browsed through makeup. I donāt remember the rest of the stuff that we did, though. What will you be doing this time NEXT year? Iām guessing I will be asleep because I have to wake up early for my job, whatever it is. If you were a superhero, what would your magic power be? Time travel. What's your biggest secret? This Tumblr. What makes a great relationship? Itās such a cliche answer but communication really makes everything better. Also, knowing one anotherās love languages. What goes through your mind when you see 'that awkward moment when' posts? Nothing, I just internally hope that the rest of the sentence pertains to an actual awkward moment and not just a completely normal situation, which seems to be the case for most of those posts. How do you win over people's hearts? Iām a listener, so I just whip that weapon out and let them talk while I nod along and ask questions every now and then to let them know Iām paying attention. What's your biggest obsession? Food. What's the worst decision you've ever made in life? I donāt know. I donāt dwell on bad decisions so Iāve most likely forgotten the ones I did make in the past. What do you want written on your gravestone? Iām not yet sure. Something witty, for sure. Your favourite quote is? Itās 12:17 AM and Iām all outta energy to think of quotes that I like. What is a weird habit you have? Playing with, and sometimes pulling at, my eyebrows and eyelashes. It mostly happens when I have bouts of anxiety. If you were on a plane beside your favorite celebrity, what would you do? Say hi, tell them Iām a fan, and get on with my business so that I look all cool :((( I donāt know if I can pull that off with Kristen but thatās definitely my plan. Describe yourself with a song title? That Iām So Tired song by Lauv and Troye Sivan. Why would someone use an umbrella? Because rain? Or sunlight? If you could see into the future, what would you do? Iād look into it, because I hate uncertainty. Why is shampoo clear and conditioner not? Idk about yours, but mine both arenāt. You've created your own recipe. What do you name it? U g h. Do you have lots of floor space in your bedroom? No, not really. This room was meant for my youngest sibling so itās been small from the get-go. For some reason I called dibs on it when I was 10 because my parents meant to have me share a room with my sister and I was NOT a fan of that ā simply put, I called dibs on my current bedroom because it was a solo bedroom (my brother was 4 at the time and didnāt want to stay in a room all by himself, so it was technically up for grabs). I have the smallest room now, but honestly itās ok. I donāt need a lot of space and besides, Iām moving out very soon hahaha. What time do you like to stay awake until? Itās different every night. Are you a dedicated person? To causes or responsibilities Iām passionate about, yes. What happened in the last dream you had? Not sure. I forget most of them. What's your favourite day of the week and why? Friday, because weekeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend. If you're at the beach, what are you most likely doing? Iām always doing either of these: sunbathing, or swimming in the sea, just relaxing. The name of your favourite movie: Two for the Road and Good Will Hunting. Itās always been a tie. What's your favourite thing about Christmas? All the food.
Are you stubborn? Yes. If you could forget about one memory that you have, what would it be? Embarrassing ones. I wonāt delve into them because the whole point is to forget them, lmao. If you were made out of paper, what would you do? Google what just happened lol. Do you act differently to certain people? Yeah. You have to sometimes. How I am with my college friends isnāt 100% the same as how I am with my high school friends (I switch to a different sense of humor, but otherwise itās still all me), and both these personalities are so not how I act around family. What's your favourite sport? Pro wrestling. Your favourite tweet ever made by your favourite celebrity? The first time Punk and AJ ever tweeted each other. They were talking about human doodles and human poodles. It was WILLLLLLDDDD experiencing that as it happened haha. Did you enjoy this quiz? Sure! It was random enough for me. The name generator questions just scared me a bit. If you were on the titanic, would you be a survivor? I guess, because Iām a woman and they had that women and children rule. Where would be the weirdest place to randomly start dancing at? A bank? I dunno. What do you do when you can't sleep at night? I turn to Reddit or YouTube. 101% effective, every single night. Do you trust people easily? Yes. I can also take away that trust easily. If you could tell the whole world anything right now, what would you say? Please donate whatever you can to help out the animals in the areas affected by the Taal eruption. I wish it were this easy to yell it out to the world. Your opinion on the royals: Iām proud of Meghan and Harry, yāalls. GO DITCHĀ āEM. Donāt get me wrong, I love the royal family, but what Meghan and Harry did was pretty fucking awesome, too. Why is your favourite TV show your favourite TV show? Itās not deep, itās funny and I can rewatch every episode as many times as I want and still laugh at the same punchlines, itās relatable, and itās helped me through some dark times. Would you rather be the leader or the follower? Leader for tasks I know Iāll succeed in, follower for responsibilities that I know are way too big and pressing for my capabilities. What's your favourite pastime? Netflix, and my newest hobby, painting :)
