1. When was the last time you tried something new?
- A few weeks back – Giving serious thought to taking up jogging! The only form of exercise I do is to walk and cycle - never been keen on running (too many reasons to go into) so actually thinking about it means I will do it (when the weather improves!).

- Last week Friday - Ordering a mocha for myself (don't drink coffee of any kind - makes me hyper) and surprisingly enjoyed it (well the milky frothy bit and the large croissant that came with it!). Will I order it again...probably not!

- A few days ago - Created a new Mediterranean mackerel dish/marinade - yet to give it a name but it’s yummy delicious!

Basically, I treat everybody as I would like to be treated, with love and respect, even those who don't give it back.

[LucyJr]

1. When was the last time you tried something new?

Yesterday.

2. What can you do today that you could not do a year ago?

Socialising, standing on my two feets (metaphorically), and...farting in public. Yeap, I tried that with girls. It was awesome!!!

Not knowing some important things I could have known if my ears were open. I was to selfish for that, and now I see how much I lost.

Joy and fun. And love of course, in the sense of a family. Also to build something, to work on something. I have to make something useful, whatever that would be.

5. What do you like most about yourself?

I'm a very strong-willed person. Once I take the decision, I'm all or nothing.

6. What do you owe yourself?

Nothing. My self needs humility more than anything.

7. What are you most scared of?

Of not being capable enough. I also have intellectual concerns. I was always a bit of a 5.

8. What are you looking forward to?

Buy my own house, I'm working hard for that.

9. What are you most proud of?

I have the most amazing parents in the world. With this advantage, I can win the world!

10. What makes you special?

Fundamentally special...nah...I think we're all fundamentally special (in the sense that we are equals).
Other than that, what I like about me is the patience and determination to work hard in a certain situation or problem...but than everybody can have that if he want to, so...I don't know, maybe the dream that one day I would run for presidency in my country??? Of course, I don't really want to take that responsability on my shoulders, but I just wanna entertain the possibility of it

I have always heard that I am well-liked, so I like whatever it is that is the reason why I am well-liked...

I think it might be because I'm simultaneously nice/understanding, and snarky/dorky
