How have you been feeling lately? Have you been doing ok? Uncomfortable because of period cramps and the heat WHICH IS STILL HERE, even though itā€™s supposed to be gone right about now and itā€™s supposed to be raining at this point. I wish I was kidding saying this but we literally have three electric fans turned on just for the living and dining rooms. Itā€™s crazy and stupid and it shouldnā€™t be this hot anymore. Iā€™m doing better mentally and emotionally, so at least that balances things out lol.
Are you currently in quarantine? Still am. While all countries are slowly going back to normal, our Covid cases continue to get higher and higher everyday because our government hasnā€™t done anything except to make us stay home for three months. No mass testing, no alternate public transport plans, and for some reason Duterte keeps borrowing billions of dollarsā€™ worth of loans from the World Bank nearly every week, and we have no idea where the stupid fucking money goes. Our government is convinced theyā€™ve been doing everything right so theyā€™ve loosened up quarantine protocols, so with malls and restaurants being open again weā€™ve done nothing but reach record high cases almost every day.
Do you wear a mask when you go to the store? Iā€™ve gone outside a total of three times since March and I wore a mask for two of those times. The first time I went out I just genuinely forgot to bring a mask, but in the end it was fine because I only had to stay in the car.
Does your state require people to wear masks in stores? As far as I know itā€™s not a requirement per se, but fortunately everyone follows the safety precautions anyway.
Do you know anyone whoā€™s had the coronavirus? Yeah, my momā€™s former boss. This is a bit of a stretch but I also know someone personally who had immediate family members that tested positive.
What was the last sweet treat you ate? I had a peanut butter doughnut from J.CO! Soooooooo good.
Was it a nice day out today? No, itā€™s too hot. Even if life was normal rn Iā€™d prefer to be indoors with air conditioning, like a mall.
Is the weather nice where you live usually? Fuck no. It is disgustingly hot, sticky, and humid 3/4 of the year.
What was the last thing you ordered online? I donā€™t do a lot of online shopping. When I get something online itā€™s usually to get food delivered, and the last time I did that it was me and Andrew getting Hong Kong noodles.
Are you expecting a package right now? Nopes.
Have you ever ordered anything from Wish? If so, what did you buy, and did you feel it was worth it? No, though I remember Good Mythical Morning featuring it in a couple of episodes. I donā€™t feel comfortable buying from stores or sellers that sell things for a lot cheaper because they could always be fake, so I wouldnā€™t feel comfortable buying from that site.
Are you a youtuber? If so, are you consistent with uploads? and how many subscribers do you have? Iā€™m not, but I do have my own channel. I just use it to like videos and subscribe to my favorites, though.
What is one thing you hate about summer? The weather. Honest to goodness Iā€™d really rather live somewhere that gave me -40C weather everyday.
Did you go outside today? No. My dad wanted to bring Cooper to my grandmaā€™s place and I planned to come along, but at the last minute he changed his mind and did just the errands he was supposed to do.
What is the name of your youtube channel, if you have one? Itā€™s just my full name because my YouTube is linked to my Google account.
What was the name of the last store or restaurant that overcharged you? I donā€™t know any instances where that would happen. I donā€™t find service charge inconvenient because I know that directly goes to the servers anyway so I donā€™t mind how high it gets most of the time. Is your room more often messy or clean? Itā€™s clean most of the time but sometimes when Iā€™m busy I wonā€™t be able to keep it clean and itā€™ll be clean-messy? Like Iā€™ll leave stuff around but Iā€™ll still know where everything is lol.
Who is someone you miss? ALL MY FRIENDS BRUH
What is something you miss? Being able to go out and freely do activities. Life Pre-COVID < Life pre-COVID, perfectly put. I miss getting an allowance, being out until midnight, having dates with my girlfriend thhe most.
Do you feel like your emotions are often haywire? Not necessarily, but they can get pretty unstable sometimes.
Have you ever received a misdiagnosis from a doctor? Nah but Iā€™ve been given a prescription that didnā€™t work. We went to our family doctor who made me take a certain medicine for three days, and I started getting worried when three days had passed and I still had my fever. I went to Angelaā€™s mom and she was super quick to tell me that that medicine wasnā€™t the right one to take for a UTI and prescribed me with something else; and that second one ended up working like magic.
Have you ever been ā€œdiagnosedā€ with a mental illness from an online friend? who is not a doctor? If yes, isnā€™t that frustrating? Thatā€™s never happened before, but if it did I wouldnā€™t let my frustration get the best of me. Iā€™d just tell them that they should avoid doing that if theyā€™re not a professional because they could very much end up seriously harming people.
Do you have any friends that you can trust and tell everything to? All of them.
What was the name of your favorite roommate youā€™ve had? Kimi :)
Do you have a favorite book that youā€™ve read multiple times? Yeah when I was a kid I would reread this book that an aunt had given me for Christmas as much as I could. For many years I forgot the title but after painstakingly Googling the few keywords I could remember I finally found out it again ā€“ itā€™s a series called Three Girls in the City by Jeanne Betancourt, but I only ever read the first book because it was the only gift I got. Itā€™s not my favorite book, but Iā€™d be so happy if I got to be reunited with it again because I donā€™t think we got to keep it around when we moved houses.
Whatā€™s one book or book series that youā€™ve read multiple times? ^ That, multiple wrestling memoirs, and Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Iā€™ve also reread the Twilight Saga once.
What was the name of the funniest kid youā€™ve ever babysat? I never babysat anyone other than younger relatives, but the one I enjoyed taking care of the most was my cousin Lucas. He was the smartest kid I babysat so it was fun talking to him, plus his yaya was always nice to me, they had a playground and sandbox at home, and all I had to do was keep him company while he watched Thomas and Friends over and over.
Do you enjoy babysitting? Just the younger relatives that were smarter and more behaved. I didnā€™t like the kids who thought kicking and being rowdy were fun.
Do you have any big regrets? One big one.
Are there things about your past that bother you? Of course. My entire childhood is one.
What was the last thing you saw or read on social media that made you angry? OMG get ready for this one. Our dumb as a rock presidential spokesperson was talking about how happy he is that the country beat UPā€™s (my school, which the government hates because we always talk shit about them lol) prediction of 40,000 Covid cases by the end of June if the government doesnā€™t do anything to prevent more cases. How many cases do we have? Fucking 36,000. Our government is happy because they finally beat our school over something for the very first time and they are technically happy that we got 36,000 cases, which if you round up will give you 40,000 anyway. My school had a fucking FIELD DAY over it and now he is a national meme.
Do you often post about controversial topics on facebook? At first I didnā€™t but thatā€™s because I wasnā€™t active on Facebook in the past anyway. After I realized that I had a bigger friends list on Facebook I decided to put it to good use and post about controversial topics to educate others. Itā€™s made a bunch of conservative family members uncomfortable and thatā€™s the goal, son.Ā 
Do you think itā€™s a good idea to post about serious topics on social media? or do you think that itā€™s better to discuss serious topics in person? It definitely is. In person is good too but you donā€™t always get that opportunity, so sharing stuff through social media doesnā€™t hurt too as long as information is accurate. For instance most of my relatives life far from me, so if I want them to get a piece of my mind about Trump or BLM or abortion, sharing informative graphics and tables is always convenient.
What was your favorite book you had to read for school? Without Seeing the Dawn by Stevan Javellana is my absolute favorite. Itā€™s probably the closest thing to being my favorite book. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is a good runner-up. On the other hand, DekadaĀ ā€˜70 by Lualhati Bautista is my favorite that was written in Filipino.
Have you ever failed a class and had to repeat it? Nope. I really believe I was meant to fail algebra in my freshman year in high school because I failed every exam, but I think my teacher just took pity on me and gave me a barely-passing mark at the end of the year so that I didnā€™t have to go to summer school. As for college, Iā€™ve never failed a class.
What class in school did you hate the most? In college I hated my economics elective. I still donā€™t know why thatā€™s mandatory for us journ students... I also dreaded a couple of journalism classes, but it was more because of the teachers than the classesļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ topics.
Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? I donā€™t think so.
Whatā€™s one childhood dream that has stuck with you, and one that has not? Having a big house; becoming a firefighter.
Would you want to re-live your childhood over again if you could? Iā€™ve already said it on this survey, but: fuck no. Iā€™m ok where I am now, even if I am a clumsy adult.
Which do you like more: being an adult or being a kid? Being an adult. Being a kid meant having to stomach the smell of hard alcohol and cigarettes from morning to evening everyday; being caught in the middle of screaming matches between drunk relatives; and being cramped in a single-floor home with 12 people. Like I said, I love where I am now. The amount of independence I gained in college was freeing and felt so nice and Iā€™m glad my parents never tried holding me back. Iā€™m also glad that I didnā€™t fall into the same alcohol trap, and that I know how to deal with my alcohol responsibly.
At what age were you when you started to feel like you were mature enough to offer others advice? Around college-age, so like when I turned 18.
Did your parents smoke or drink when you were growing up? Neither of them did, because we had enough alcoholism happening at my old home. It was actually my drunken relatives that finally drove my mom out of that house.
Do you enjoy bonfires? Iā€™ve only been to one and I was like 9 years old then, so I wouldnā€™t know how I feel about them now.
Have you ever stepped on a sparkler? Nope.
What, do you know of, are you allergic to? No allergies.
Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Also nopes. I always feel bad for the ambulances that I see because I live in a very traffic-heavy city and they always end up getting stuck and crawling through traffic like the rest of us. We do try to swerve, but our roads are so tiny and always cramped that thereā€™s little space left for us to move out of the ambulanceā€™s way, so even though weā€™re able to make a path for it, the space is not big enough for the ambulance to drive in the speed itā€™s supposed to.
What is your favorite version of the Bible to read, if applicable? Thatā€™s a big no thanks from me.
Do you follow trends? or are you a trendsetter? Yeah, I follow some of them if I think they are nice.
Has anyone ever described you as a trendsetter? Nope, because I am not.
Do you know anyone who used to be loving, but then turned cold? List three people youā€™ve known whom this has happened to. My mom, Athenna, Macy. The only person I donā€™t resent out of these three is Macy, because I know she turned distant due to mental health issues and because she wants to fix herself first, which is responsible.
What SAT subjects, if any, did you get a perfect score in? We donā€™t have SAT.
What were your best subjects in school? and what was your favorite subject in school? I loved taking history electives in college, and I performed the best in them too. I also did well in international relations, which was under the political science department.
Have you ever been abused by a parent or legal guardian? Iā€™ve been verbally and emotionally abused by my mom ever since I can remember.
Do you have a lot of wounds from your past? If weā€™re getting visual then Iā€™d rather say that I have one ugly, infected gash that gets bothersome from time to time. My past isnā€™t made up of little tiny scattered wounds.
Has anyone ever called you a jerk? Behind my back, probably.
Are you a jerk? I can be, so I donā€™t mind being called it. I never said I was the nicest person.
What color were your bedroom walls in high school? They have always been white. My mom doesnā€™t let us have control over our own rooms, so in the beginning itā€™s always been plain boring white. Donā€™t get me wrong, I like my room but sometimes it just feels like living in a cell.
Is there a girl or guy you wish you hadnā€™t let slip away? I wish I was still close with my high school friends, and I remember saying how they were for keeps in my old surveys so that makes me extra sad haha. Iā€™m civil with most of them, but no longer close. And I only ever talk to them if itā€™s their birthdays or if they achieved something big. The only people Iā€™ve remained close with from that original group are Angela and Hans.
Is there an old friend that you miss and would like to reconnect with? Not really. Sofie and I have grown apart from each other now and weā€™re both very happy, so thereā€™s no need to change that. Iā€™m okay with seeing her once or twice a year.
Who has hurt you the most? My mom.
Have you been bullied? Yeah in kindergarten. Long-lasting effects though.
Which talent show, if any, would you most like to audition for? and have you auditioned for one? No thanks. I donā€™t have the kind of talent that I can show off, like singing or playing an instrument.
Do you know anyone whoā€™s auditioned for American Idol? I donā€™t think so. But my mom knows someone who auditioned for our local version of Americaā€™s Got Talent. Heā€™s a ventriloquist that my mom used to get for our parties. As far as I know heĀ got into the grand finals, but Iā€™m not sure if he won.
Is there someone you think should audition that hasnā€™t yet? American Idolā€™s been over for a while now.
What time of day do you usually feel your best? I love the evenings.
Whatā€™s one way in which youā€™ve changed within the last ten years? I was in sixth grade then, Iā€™ve graduated from college now. My mom was purely verbally abusive to me then, now we have brief stints of having an actually healthy relationship. I had one dog then and I have two dogs now; I had no friends then and I have tons of them now. Thereā€™s been a lot of tiny changes but nothing that were life-changing.
Do you feel like time goes by fast, or slow? It goes both ways depending on how stimulated I am or how much fun Iā€™m having.
Who do you know who has died of cancer? One of my great-aunts.
Has there been cancer in your family? Yeah, ^ that. Other than her Iā€™m not sure if weā€™ve had other cases. My family tends to be hush-hush about cancer and only ever call itĀ ā€˜cā€™ orĀ ā€˜the big one.ā€™
Have you ever stayed overnight in a hospital, and if so, what for? Yes, once for a low platelet count.
Have you ever been a victim of police misconduct? No but the cops here are just as corrupt as the ones in the US, so I can very much be a victim any time. Itā€™s just a matter of being in the wrong place at the right time.
Have you ever been so angry you wanted to sue someone? Not so much that I wanted to sue someone, no.
Have you ever been a victim of racism? My country isnā€™t diverse at all and weā€™re all Filipinos here, and Iā€™ve only ever traveled to Asian countries, so no. But racism is a big reason why I have no plans to go to other countries known for it.
Have you ever deleted a friend on Facebook for making racist comments? Iā€™ve unfriended those who were being little bitches about BLM and George Floydā€™s death, so I guess that kinda counts as being racist. I still have a few racist Facebook friends that I keep around, but thatā€™s because theyā€™re family members.
What was the last thing you ate? Binagoongan.
What was the theme of your senior prom? Clair de Lune, so like the moon and shit.
Did you go to prom? It was mandatory, so I had to go even though I really had no interest.
Have ever been engaged or married? I have been neither.
Are you an aunt or uncle? Nah but Iā€™m a godmother to one of my cousins.
Do you live to glorify God and to do His will? LOL no
Are you happy with the way you are living your life day-to-day right now? It could be better and more filled with activity. But Iā€™m not miserably depressed right now and thatā€™s more than enough for me.
Do you feel like your life was better or worse six years ago? It was slightly better. I feel like 2014 was my best year.
Have you ever made a huge, catastrophic mistake? Not anything that ruined my life or someone elseā€™s, no.
Do you feel like you are currently in a state of suffering? and that not all of your basic needs are being met? If so, how long have you been in a state of suffering? Basic needs?? So you mean poverty? No.
Do you hate social injustice? Absolutely. Anyone who tolerates it is automatically a gigantic prick, Iā€™d say.
Are you happy with the current social class you are in? No. I donā€™t know how it translates to English, but in Filipino we have this term called naghaharing-uri that comprises the very very very very tiny top of the social pyramid and itā€™s made up of top government officials and their families, heads of corporations, old money families, etc. Itā€™s no secret that itā€™s this 1% that exploits the 99% remaining in the pyramid, so even though Iā€™m relatively comfortable in my class, I hate that, when it comes down to it, weā€™re only being used by this 1% for their own benefit.
Life isnā€™t fair. True or false? True.
Do you hate that life is so unfair? Sometimes, if itā€™s for stuff about social injustice and how some people have to be homeless, why homophobia exists, etc. But if itā€™s for tiny problems, I feel like theyā€™re necessary sometimes so we can learn from them.
Name a few people who seem to have everything handed to them. Some richer kids that I know.
Who do you go to when youā€™re upset? Sometimes myself, sometimes Gabie.
Do you pray less or more than you did 5 years ago? A LOT LESS, thank fuck I got out of that trap.
Do you pray a lot? Definitely not.
Do you frequently have back pain? Yeah, haha. Kinda expected considering I have scoliosis.
Whatā€™s the worst side effect youā€™ve experienced for a medication? and whatā€™s the worst withdrawal effect youā€™ve experienced from a medicine? Nothing worse than diarrhea. Iā€™ve never experienced withdrawal.
Have you ever used an epi pen? Nopes.
Whatā€™s a name that you like but probably wouldnā€™t use for one of your kids? Isabella because Iā€™m already an Isabelle and my girlfriend has a sister named Isabela.
Whatā€™s your name, and do you like it? Robyn. I like it now.
Would you prefer to give your kids common names or unique names? Common, more old-school names. I just feel like they sound super elegant.
Do you feel like anybody values you in the way that you deserve? Angela, Andrew, and Gab.
Who have you felt the most valued by? ^ Them.
Have you ever been treated like you were inferior? For sure.
What was the name of the biggest bully in your high school? Oh my god this survey is so long... we didnā€™t have bullies in high school. We had mean girls and mean girl cliques, but as long as you werenā€™t involved in drama with them youā€™d be fine.
Do you ever sleep outside? Nah. Iā€™d sleep at the rooftop but there are sooooo many mosquitoes at night.
How many siblings do you have? Two.
Are you the oldest, youngest, middle, or only child? Eldest.
How many kids do you want to have? One or two would be great.
Do you want to get married? Yessssssss.
Best date youā€™ve been on? Probably that time we went to BGC so we can feel fancy and have a fancy dinner, then when we meant to walk back to our car to go home we ended up having impromptu drinks at like 11 PM when we randomly found a jazz bar loudly playing live music in the area. OH and that time we went museum hopping in Manila and we ended the day having delicioussss Italian food.
Dream date? Traveling out of the country.
Ever kissed someone on New Yearā€™s? Nah. We celebrate New Yearā€™s with our respective families so thereā€™s no chance of that happening. Which is fine, because New Yearā€™s is traditionally a family-centric holiday here so it would be weird for anyone to ditch their families.
Have you ever had an experience so good you felt like you were flying? Sure.
Have you ever been in so much pain you prayed that you would die? YES, with my toothache last year.
What brings you the most joy? My dogs.
What is your passion; what is it that would bring you the most joy and fulfillment in life? Iā€™m at a point where it still keeps changing, so I donā€™t wanna give an absolute answer to this just yet.
Have you ever laid your dreams aside because someone else wanted you to? Thatā€™s never happened to me. I only ever gave up on one dream because it realistically wasnā€™t attainable, when it came down to it.
Who supports you in everything you do? My two best friends.
Who always tries to stop you whenever you try to go after your dreams? I havenā€™t had anyone bar me, but if someone tried to they would definitely hear from me.
Do you believe in following your heart, in going after your dreams? Not always.
Do you wish other people would want you to be happy? Of course.
Do you wish you had someone who loved and supported you? I already do.
