What is the speed limit on your street?: It’s a very tiny village inside a smaller sub-village inside an already gated village, so it’s probably 10 or 15 km/h.
A word that describes you, starting with the last letter of your last name?: I can’t think of anything, honestly. The only z adjectives I can remember right now are zany and zealous, and I’m neither of those.
What is the age difference between the last two people you kissed romantically?: I’ve only kissed one person; we’re a month and a half apart.
What day of the week does your garbage get collected?: I don’t actually pay attention, oops. I see the garbage truck much more these days because I’ve only been staying at home, but I haven’t gotten to keep note when they come. 
How many hours have you worked this month?: Zero. That is about to change soon though.
How many schools have you attended?: Two. One for kinder to high school, then I moved to another for college.
What has brightened your day today?: When I came down for breakfast this morning I realized the dishes that were prepared weren’t my favorites so I only got little of each, until my dad walked back to the kitchen and surprised me with a full plate of corndogs heheh. I had never returned my portions back into their serving plates more quickly.
Run your fingers through your hair and measure a stray you retrieve. How long is it?: It was a rather short strand because I lost it as soon as I tried to measure how long it was.
How did you or whoever come up with the name(s) for your pet(s): My dad likes cars and F1 and he owned a Kimi Raikonnen shirt, so he just became Kimi. I didn’t and still don’t mind it since my sister and I, then 10 and 8, had been giving shitty suggestions for a name anyway.
What are you listening to?: I can hear the fan in front of me whirring. It’s the loudest electric fan we have and I used to not like the noise, but since it’s gotten hotter over the last few weeks I’ve come to appreciate it since it’s also the strongest fan we have.
When is the last time you clipped your nails?: Yesterday.
Plucked your eyebrows?: I had the hair and makeup artist pluck some of my stray hair last February when I had my senior shoot. I think my last bout with trichotillomania was the start of the year; it was definitely very recent since I’ve been feeling more anxious these days.
Washed your hair?: An hour ago.
Whose birthday is coming up next, that you know in your head?: Apple’s is on the 5th, I think.
When is the last time you danced? Alone or with another?: Last weekend of February. I was with my friends but we were also cramped in a very packed club, so we were technically dancing with everyone in there.
Who is your most annoying colleague?: One of my requirements this semester is to turn in a magazine for layout class, and because it’s a magazine (and thus a lot of work), it’s a class output, meaning I work with all my classmates in that course. Nearly all of us have put in a lot of work for our respective page assignments save for this one girl who has been unresponsive all semester long and who has never worked on her part until we bugged her tonight. She explains that all her stuff was left in her dorm because the lockdown had been imposed and so she couldn’t use InDesign, which I know is utter bullshit because as far as I know she’s a popular Twitch streamer and I see the shit she posts on her official account. Anyway, she says she’ll try to submit tomorrow but because we’ve been waiting on her for months now I think that that is also bullshit. What is your weight?: Under 100 lbs, but it’s very possible I may have tipped over that by this point because my dad has been making very delicious meals throughout the quarantine.
What is your height?: 5′1″, 5′2″, I stopped keeping track.
What country were you born in?: The Philippines.
Which countries have you been to?: I’ve been all over the Philippines except for Mindanao; Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, and South Korea. My dad had plans to take us to Vietnam and I also had a planned graduation gift of going to Thailand this year, but obviously those aren’t happening any time soon so boooooooo. Last green food you ate?: The green beans in my kare-kare for dinner earlier.
Red food?: A hotdog.
Yellow food?: The batter on the corndogs that my dad made was kinda yellow? Tbh it’s more gold than anything but that’s the last yellowish thing I can think of.
Purple?: The eggplants in the aforementioned kare-kare.
What is the name of the strain of weed you currently have?: There are different kinds???????? LMAO I’m so clueless. I’ve never even seen weed in real life.
Does the city you live in have Skip the Dishes, Über Eats, etc.?: We have local companies that do the same things these do.
Last article of clothing you purchased?: Two of the same tops with puffed sleeves, just in different colors.
Last electronic you purchased?: I don’t really buy those myself. If I need or want a gadget, I typically ask my dad to get it for me.
Last thing you bought for someone else?: I got my dad a meal from Rodic’s as a thank-you. That day he accidentally drove out with the family car I usually drive on that day because my own car is coding, and so I had to book a Grab and take the campus jeeps with no heads-up whatsoever; I think he felt bad so he finished up whatever errand he had that day and drove all the way to my school to give me the car while he took public transport to go back home. I didn’t ask him to do it and I felt bad he drove all the way there and commuted back home, so I got him my favorite meal.
Last thing someone gifted to you?: The box of sushi Angela surprised me with on my birthday.
Colour of the last pen you used?: Black.
Last marker?: I think it was blue.
Do you use bug spray?: Yep. In a country where bugs are mainstays in homes, every family kinda needs to have their own supply of bug spray.
What is your blood type?: I have no idea hah. This is definitely a thing I should know by now considering I’m twenty fucking two.
From where did you last bleed?: My vagina.
Who did you last walk a dog with?: My parents.
Ride bikes with?: I can’t ride a bike, but it was my dad who last stayed with me to teach me.
Hold hands with?: Gabie, and now I’m sad.
For what reason did you last high five someone?: I gave one to my dad because I unintentionally made a hilarious pun over breakfast a couple of days ago and we had a good laugh about it.
