#religion talk up ahead mostly of the lds (mormon) church#but anyway if you post/reblog anything that's critical or demeaning towards the church i would appreciate if you tagged it#i understand and acknowledge and criticise the church for actions they've taken and words they've spoken#and know that several queer folk and people of colour have had negative experiences with it#organised religion will be corrupt#that is the way of men#however#i really love the gospel that it teaches#and it makes me sad when the men who lead the church misinterpret it#the church i was raised in and taught from gave me only positive experiences#even if i do not officially associate it i do consider myself lds/mormon because of my religious beliefs being heavily affected by it#i was not raised in a war or stake that preached hateful speech of any groups#and i am very thankful for this because i know others have#it comes down to experiences#but if you reblog anything that is demeaning or hateful towards the church i ask you to tag it#because i have to be in the right mental space for that lol#i do not ignore these things but i don't want them to be the first thing i see when i open my dash either#smth like anti-mormon or exmo#i have those blocked

survey by ccandacelove
Do you have sensitive skin? It actually kind of is. I bruise quite easily and my legs often end up itching badly if they’re exposed outside for too long, like it gets all warm and tingly; I have to keep slapping them to feel relief because scratching never helped.
Do you wear necklaces or earrings more? I don’t wear a lot of jewelry anymore, but if I had to start a collection of either of these I’d pick earrings.
Rings or bracelets? Bracelets. Never was crazy over rings.
Are you attracted to several guys at the moment? For the most part I don’t bat for that team, so nah.
Are you jealous of your best friend? Sometimes I will get just the teeniest bit of envy that Angela and Andi are both in committed, fulfilling relationships with healthy dynamics I never got to have with my own past relationship. But it happens just for a second and I’m always simply happy for them. I can’t envy them for being happy.
What year is it? It is 2021.
Are you egotistical? No.
Spring or autumn? I remember experiencing spring in Korea and that was sooo incredibly pleasant. But it wouldn’t be fair to pick it because I’ve never known what fall is like haha, so I guess neither.
Pasta or tacos? Right now, tacos. I like pasta too, but my parents make it all the time and I’m having leftover spaghetti from Yellow Cab literally right now, lol.
Water or soda? Water.
Irish accent or Aussie accent? Irish for me. I find the Australian accent hard to understand at times.
Do you consider yourself to be a bit gangster? Not for a second.
How many toilets are in your house? Two.
Do you have an older sister? Nope, I am the eldest sister in this home.
Do you have any ghetto friends? Idk, I wouldn’t call any of them that though?
Favorite song by Owl City? Vanilla Twilight has always been able to make me feel warm and peaceful.
What color is your mum's car? Both of our cars are white.
Do you live in an apartment? Nope, never have.
Is your attitude contagious? I wouldn’t say so. When it comes to setting the mood and things like that, I prefer that other people take the lead.
Cats are usually cuter than dogs right? Erm, I like dogs more but it doesn’t mean I don’t find cats cute. They are; I just wouldn’t seek them out.
Do you have a wallet? Yes. It was given by Gab, so I should probably buy a new one by now.
When is the last time you went to church? Physically, last March. But we watched a Christmas Eve mass livestream.
Where were you yesterday at 3pm? I was in my room working, but it was a slow day so I might have been looking for surveys to take then as well.
Is your favorite color green? It’s one of my least favorite colors.
Do you think black people are usually annoying? What an incredibly insensitive question.
Do you own purple socks? No.
Do you truly understand the (LDS) mormon religion? I am not too familiar with it since it’s not a common denomination here.
Do you think it's bullshit? I don’t have an opinion.
Where do you keep your kitty litter box? I don’t have my own, but a few months after Arlee passed away my sister gave away the litter box to her friend who got a kitten.
Are you part Scandinavian? Not a drop.
Did your aunt ever take you to the park back in the day? I don’t think any of my aunts took me out all by themselves when I was younger, actually. My mom was always around with an aunt/uncle to supervise.
Is your hair in a ponytail atm? Yes indeed. Low side ponytail.
Are you rude to little children? If they are being disrespectful then yes, I throw it back at them. I’m going to go ahead and say it, my youngest cousin (who also doubles as my godson) is poorly-raised and is ridiculously spoiled, whiny, and just a headache to be with for more than two minutes. During his birthday party last month he complained about guests who did not bring him gifts; and last week he was demanding my eldest cousin to get him a box of doughnuts. I’ve tried to be nice because he is my godson, but I’ve never met a kid so entitled; so both times I was unable to bite my tongue and told him to get his own gifts and to get his own doughnuts. Turns out I’m not ready to have kids just yet, lmfao.
Do you like Ethiopian food? I’ve not had a taste, but I’m very much interested.
Is your current crush younger than you? I don’t have a crush.
Are you a lighter complexion than your father? No. He has the fairest skin in the family.
Do you know any white people who desperately want to be Black or Hispanic? Sure. On a more relatable note, I’ve also seen white people try to be Asian.
Do you like apricots? No.
Do you go to the beach every summer? Well, we used to. I don’t know when we can go back.
Ranch or barbeque sunflower seeds? I’ve never had sunflower seeds, but I generally like barbecue flavor more. I’ve seldom had any ranch or ranch-flavored stuff; it’s not commonplace here.
Do you know the first 5 books of the bible in order? I know what the collective term is (Pentateuch), but right now only Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers come to mind. It’s been ages since I last opened a Bible.
Are you eager to attend anything tomorrow? No events tomorrow, but I’m planning to buy my very belated Christmas gift for Andi so it’s very likely that I’ll find myself in a mall again tomorrow.
Have you ever bullshitted a whole test or exam? For sure. I mostly did this with my advanced math exams in high school, when I didn’t have it in me to care anymore.
Are banana chips delicious? I can see the appeal, but my dislike of fruits has always come first so I never enjoyed it much.
Do you have a pet fish? Not in over a decade.
Are you happy with your eye color? I don’t really have a choice; all Asians on this side of the continent have dark brown eyes lol.
Do you have more energy at night or mornings? Night, usually.
Can you meow like a kitten? I guess? Sometimes I’ll trick Cooper and let out a meow, and he barks out the window every time hahaha.
Is your mum beautiful? Sure, she’s pretty and looks young for her age.
Shrimp tacos or beef? Beef. I’ve never had shrimp tacos.
Soft shell or hard shell? Crab? Either works fine. I’ve had both and they taste the same lol, it’s just more work with hard shell.
Do you live on the East coast? I do not live on either coast, if we’re talking of the US. We don’t base our geography based on coasts and for the most part, it’s either you live in Manila or you’re from the province haha.
Do you like kinky sex? Not really.
What country were you born in? Philippines.
Solid soap bar or liquid body wash? Body wash.
Do you believe being gay is a choice or a "disorder"? It’s someone’s identity.
Crest or Colgate? Colgate.
