1. Advice for your younger self.

"Always believe in yourself."

2. If you could change your name, what would it be?

Hmm. I used to wish my mama and papa gave me a name that was easier to read, because every time a new teacher would do a roll call my name gets murdered in a million different ways. As time passed by, I got a laugh out of it.

3. Are you proud of yourself? Why?

Sometimes, I am. Sometimes, I'm not. It's human nature to doubt one's self.

4. Best thing that ever happened to you?

Getting saved by Jesus Christ. Speaking in tongues (receiving a gift from the Holy Spirit).

5. Worst thing that ever happened to you?

I try not to think about it too much. I wish it could be buried in the deep recesses of my mind, but it's not. Even though I can't forget about it, I see it as a positive that I survived that experience. Not only did I survive it, but I came out stronger and it didn't affect my perception of people.

6. A song you're currently listening to.

"Huling El Bimbo" by Eraserheads

7. Fill in the blank: Friendship is _______.

something that you should cherish.

8. Fill in the blank: Life is ______.

living it according to God's will.

9. Describe your daily routine.

I don't have a routine right now. It's summer vacation.

10. Describe what you feel like waking up on a Monday morning.

During the summer, it's not much different from every other day. But when classes start, I dread Mondays because it's like getting a hang over from the weekend.

11. Describe your soulmate.

He loves Jesus more than me, tall, older than me by a few years and he's got a stable job.

12. Describe yourself in three sentences.

I'm quiet when I'm around new people, but once you get to really know me you'll see how weird and quirky I am. I'am an old soul. I tend to get lost in my own world, so I like to be alone most of the time.

13. Do you believe in God? If yes, then why? If no, then why not?

I believe in God, not because my parents told me to, but because I had an encounter with God and still do every day. In my thoughts, in what I see and in everything that I do, I know He's there. As it says in the Bible, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) If only people would start seeking Jesus, instead of seeking Pokemon their lives would be saved for eternity.

14. Do you believe in love? If yes, then why? If no, then why not?

Yes, I believe in love. For love is what saved us from death in the first place. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

15. Do you have a boyfriend? If no, why not?

No, because I haven't met "The One" yet.

16. Do you like to sing in the shower? If yes, which is your go-to song?

Yes. It varies. Depends on what's playing on my iPod. Mostly Capital Kings, Royal Tailor and Toby Mac songs.

17. Ever caught a virus, disease or sickness?

Primary complex when I was a baby, dengue fever when I was in my sophomore year of high school and a chest infection when I was in my sophomore year of college.

18. Who was your TV character crush?

Billy Nutter from Jane by Design

19. Favourite Book/s. Why?

Number one, hands down: The Bible. It's a book that never gets old even if it was written more than a thousand years ago.
Blind Alley by Iris Johansen. It was very interesting and it was the first time I was immersed in a thriller/suspense book.
Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan. It made my heart ache.
Dear Adam by Ava Zavora. I don't really know why I liked it, but I thought of it as a feel-good romance.

20. Favourite Emoji/s. Why?

😂. It's because I laugh at almost everything.

21. Favourite Game/s.

Tetris. I've been playing it for ages.

22. Favourite Sport/s.

None. I don't play sports. I don't watch sports. I don't like sports. Sports don't like me either.

23. Favourite Vacation Spot/s.

Somewhere tropical. Somewhere full of nature. Somewhere with history, a story to tell.

24. What's a gift that you'd like to receive for your birthday this year?

A puppy.

25. Have you ever fantasized about a friend's boyfriend?

Nope. That's so against the girl code. Even though I'm a guy's friend type of girl, I still abide by the code of my gender.

26. How do you feel when a guy talks to you?

It depends, but mostly I'm more comfortable talking to guys than girls, because my best friends are all guys (except for my cousin) and I hung out with guys all the time when I was still in the Philippines.

27. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

The first animal that came to mind was an eagle, because eagles have leadership characteristics. Also, when people see them, they soar high into the sky. I believe I'm like an eagle who soars high wherever I go. I've changed schools, I've moved from one country to another and I still soared through many hardships.

28. If you got a chance to make someone your slave, who would it be and why?

My brother. He rarely does anything for me.

No one at the moment. I have nothing I'm curious about.

30. If you were an author, what would your genre be?

Definitely romance.

31. If you can be invisible, what would you do?

Watch movies in the cinema for free. Unlike others, I would never go naked even if I were invisible. It would still feel like someone could see me.

32. If you could be a world leader, who would it be and why?

This may sound as shallow, but I want to be Queen Elizabeth II, because it would be nice to know what it feels like to be called the Queen of England. ✌️

33. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

I would like to teleport, so I wouldn't have to pay for an airplane ticket to travel the world.

34. If you could meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Jesus, because there's a guarantee that I will meet Him one day.

35. If you were given a chance to rewind your life starting from when you were born, would you accept it? If yes, why? If no, why not?

No. I'm the way I am now, because of everything - good and bad - that I went through. I'm contented with the decisions that I've made and I'm happy with the way that I turned out to be.

I acted as if my classmates wouldn't stop fighting. Before leaving to get our adviser, I told them to make noises and shout at each other, so it would be believable. Our adviser was so pissed, he was taken aback when he opened the door of our classroom and we shouted surprise. We had lots of food and drinks. It was really fun.

That I wasn't able to share Jesus enough with other people.
