6. Have you ever found a method of chopping onions without shedding tears? Tell us about it!

10. Have you ever loved anyone who didn’t love you back?
* Yep. I suddenly remembered Yen’s FB status yesterday: “I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best…

1. “So…do you want the good news or the bad news?” When someone asks you this, which one do you generally ask for first?
I prefer hearing the bad news so the sad moment will just last for a few seconds since there’s something brighter to look forward to.
2. Do you remember compliments more than rude remarks or vice versa?
I cherish compliments but I don’t forget the rude remarks either.
3. The main difference between you and your best friend is …
He’s more of a positive thinker than I am.
4. Have you ever given someone a fake phone number, just to get rid of them?
Yes.
5. Do you find that there’s too much choice in your life?
Yes, we are always faced with different instances and situations..with different judgment to come up with.
6. How would you describe your temper?
Pretty good. I don’t get mad easily and often times, I just sulk alone or have the husband listen to my rants. I’m not the type who finds it easy to nag, are hot-tempered (even hotter than heated mattress pads) or who flares up easily.
7. Are you more likely to exaggerate or downplay your troubles?
Just in between. Exaggerating troubles is self-pitying.
8. List 3 people-real or fictional, living or dead, famous or personal friends-whom you respect and admire, and why.
The husband…he’s the best husband and dad in the world.
My grandparents…for raising and making ours the best parents.
My family…for being strong and sturdy despite all the troubles we’ve been through.
10. What do you need to work on?
My being introvert.
