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!

Yesterday.

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.

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

Nothing. My self needs humility more than anything.

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

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

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

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

 

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

I went to a filipino restaurant today

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

Voice my needs effectively and respect myself more in dealing with others

I would regret not seeing the more of the world and becoming stronger

4. What do you want most out of life?

I want to know that I'm using my talents and abilities to help others in the best way I can

5. What do you like most about yourself?

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 hope the reason is that I make people feel special or noticed or connected to, instead of a more superficial reason... I think it might be because I'm simultaneously nice/understanding, and snarky/dorky

6. What do you owe yourself?

This question asks about what I'm not doing which could be making me much happier basically? I think I have to simultaneously be less lazy and be less hard on myself, which is hard.
