About Me #1: The Days of Our Lives

1. If money were no object, how would you spend your next birthday?

Okay if I was hella rich, it would be a week-long celebration. There's different ways I could approach this if we're talking Elon Musk levels of rich, because I could either fly to my friends and family, who are all in different parts of the world... OR fly them to a venue (likely in the Philippines) and cover their accommodation and tickets. Imagine! If it was the Philippines, we'd go to a bougie resort and then I'd party with my family at my grandparents' house.

I would love to go to Japan too, I think that would make for an interesting birthday. 

And get a big tattoo at some point, obvs.

2. What's the best way to spend a rainy day?

In bed if it's cold. Drawing or reading if it's hot and annoyingly humid, like rn. 

3. Tell us about your most memorable vacation:

Either Auckland and Rotorua last year, or when I was a kid my aunt would take us to weekend getaways at the (now permanently closed) Legend Villas in the Philippines. You have to understand, going swimming in a pool was a luxury for us. It was nice to be able to stay somewhere that's not really home, with an air conditioner and a buffet breakfast. It was also around when High School Musical 2 came out and I was living my best life in Club Penguin.

4. If you could re-live one great day of your life so far, which one would you choose?

Probably the day when I was talking to someone I really liked. Smiling on the train listening to Roxette like I'm in some weird rom-com... I also really enjoyed the drive to Auckland last year (same vacation as explained in Q3). When we arrived, we ate at this restaurant called Andy's... my god I miss that burger.

5. Describe a typical day of your childhood:

I don't remember much of school, but I remember I would wake up and my grandma would dress me because I'd still be half asleep. Go to school, sit in class I guess, then have my extremely unhealthy lunch of Cup Noodles and iced tea. I'd go home and go straight to Club Penguin, YouTube... I could've sworn I had a routine. Also when my crush went online I'd bug him. Lol.

6. If you were in charge of adding a new, world-wide official holiday to the calendar, what would it be, and how would we celebrate it?

World Pizza Day. Paid leave for everyone. Enjoy a pizza with friends, family, neighbours... 

7. Would you rather work twelve hours a day for three days each week, or eight hours a day for five days?

It depends on the job. If it's something I really like I wouldn't mind eight hours a day for five days. But tbh, I think twelve hours of ANYTHING would kill me. 

8. How do you like to unwind at the end of the day?

SLEEPING. Listening to music, watching YouTube videos. I'm really into Steve-O's Wild Ride at the moment.

9. If there were thirty hours in each day, what would you do with the extra time?

Probably procrastinate more.

10. Tell us about a day you spent with someone who means a lot to you:

This question just makes me think about my ex. Smh. 

Non-ex related answers, I guess it was fun going to a concert with my mum. I think it's something I took for granted as a kid but now I really enjoyed seeing her get to watch her favourite artist live.

About Me #2: Shiny Happy People 

1. What kinds of people do you like to surround yourself with?

Deep thinkers, good communicators. 

2. If you could meet any historical figure, dead or alive, who would it be?

Jason Miller who played Father Karras in the original Exorcist. I already planned this. We'd have a drink and a smoke and we'd talk about the creative process.

3. If you could spend a day with any living celebrity, who would it be?

Johnny Knoxville and/or Steve-O. 

4. Who in your past could you have treated better?

The people who are no longer in my present.

5. Around whom do you hide your true self?

The people who are currently in my life.

6. Who has made you feel the happiest?

The person I currently like.

7. Who has caused you the most pain?

The person I currently like.

8. Who would you swap lives with for a day?

Halsey. Or a local tattoo artist.

9. Who inspires you to be a better person?

Myself, I guess. Sometimes having a crush on the person-I-currently-like kinda inspires me to work hard at all aspects of my life which I want to improve. But I have to remember, at the end of the day it should be for myself. Which, tbh, does not motivate me as well as a crush does!

10. Who looks up to you?

I genuinely don't know. Nobody, hopefully! I'm not that impressive or iconic.
