tagged, and you may be tagged, too

Was tagged by Jay, my gay lover. I even got scolded for not attending to this meme right away. He can be so demanding. Ahaha!

People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who tagged them & cannot tag the person who tagged them. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

1. How has Multiply/Blogger changed your life?
I now have the whole www to talk to when I'm bored, or just plain in the mood for "talking". I can be über mushy, angsty or simply senseless and I don't even care because hey, it's my blog!

2. What do you do before bedtime?
Cleanse my face with an astringent, surf the net, yak on the phone with Francis, and have my quiet time.

3. What are you going to have for dinner tonight?
I've no idea yet. Maybe the same menu as my baon for lunch: sweetened ribs (my mom's specialty).

4. What is the ONE place you want to go to before you die if you had the money and the time?
With Francis, either up in the cold mountains (the Alps? That place where Heidi and her grandpa live in the book, Heidi [by Johanna Spyri]) or a serene but very scenic beach like a remote resort in Hawaii or the Caribbean.

5. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
I'd like to believe I'm an extrovert. But I confuse myself because I can also be an introvert sometimes. Case to case basis.

6. What do you do in your free time?
Read books, listen to music, watch DVDs, sleep. And when I'm visited by the muse, I try to write.

7. Do you trust easily?
Before, yes. Now, I test the waters first. (But I easily get attached.)

8. What personal belonging do you have with you everywhere you go?
My mobile phone--inside my big bag that has other things, which make for aching shoulders at the end of the day.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Yes. Quite a handful. "Unhappy" is such an understatement. I just try to not wallow in it. For one, there's Francis being assigned in Cavite for five friggin' months. And then...

10. What is your best quality?
I can say that I easily get along well with people, and that I have a sense of humor, albeit shallow. Haha!

11. Is being tagged fun?
Yes, it is. Especially when I don't have anything to blog about. Tagging can be a legit reason to blog away.

12. How do you see yourself?
I make my own life complex in one way or another. So yes, complicated and a contradiction of sorts.

13. Do you prefer rain or snow?
I love it when it drizzles. But I also want to experience snow, given that I don't get frostbites or die of hypothermia.

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Jay is handsomely gay, darn it!

15. Poor but loved, or rich but hated?
Poor but loved. But it doesn't hurt to be rich and loved at the same time, does it?

16. How many children do you want?
Two--a boy and a girl. Right, Francis?

17. What’s better: to give or to receive?
Last Friday, there was an ex-deal sale at work. So I grabbed a perfume for my mom, which she's been wanting since she got a whiff of it. So I bought it for her. I was all excited to go home that day and hand her that dandy bottle. So yeah, it is better to give than to receive. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

18. What do you feel about sex without love?
That's just plain lust. I prefer to call the act "making love" than just "sex". The latter term has this detached rawness to it, which I don't find appealing.

19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
Uhm. No. But if that's with my husband, then I'm all for it. Hahaha!

20. What would you name yourself if you’d been born the opposite gender?
I prefer it ancient-sounding and uncommon. Say, Onesimus or Moses. Hehe.
