Sunday Stealing 021: The Majorly Personal Meme, The Last Part



Today we ripped this meme off a blog written by a group of high school students. The blog is called Eternal Fireworks. The writers are Michael, Kynan, Alex, Kenny, Chris, Leo, Shelley, Athy, Bam, Tina, Bnita, and Athy (yes, there are two). There is no statement to where it came from. But, it was probably stolen from there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. It is a long meme and we shall do it in two parts. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

41. What are your plans this weekend?
The usual grocery shopping and other weekend errands. Oh, and we have a birthday party to attend to on Sunday.

42. Do you think someone might be thinking poorly about you? Why that might be?
I don't know and I don't really care!

42. What features don't you have that you would like on your cell?
I'm not really that particular. As long as I can make a call and send text messages, it's alright with me.

43. How many people can sleep comfortably on your bed?
Small? Medium? Or Large? Just kidding! Only two.

44. What are you hoping happens by the end of 2010?
That I get a visit from the stork :)

45. What was the last video you watched on YouTube?
Old Filipino TV ads. I went for a trip down memory lane last night. Thank you, YouTube!

46. Would you ever agree to have an open relationship with someone?
No, I'm already taken, thank you. 

47. Is there something you could never give up?
Family aside, I think it's reading books and writing letters the old-fashioned way.

48. Would you, (or did you) prefer a small, intimate wedding reception, or a big-scale, over-the-top reception?
We had an extremely intimate wedding reception -- we were the only guests! *lol*

49. What's bothering you right now?
My back pain.

50. Do you hate anyone?
It's only a waste of energy and time, so NO!

51. What were you doing at 12am last night?
Sleeping soundly.

52. Was this summer a good one? How warm was it where you live?



52. Is the last person you kissed before your current situation mad at you?
No.

53. Can a man and a woman be friends without having feelings for each other?
No - feelings will always be involved no matter what - romantic or otherwise. How can you be friends with someone if you don't have any affection, care or even attachment to one another?

54. Do you think long distance relationship work? If you've had one, tell us about it.
It could work for some, but  not for everyone. I don't want to bore you with details but my husband and I spent more than 16months away from each other. Those times were very, very difficult -- we were both traveling to countries in different directions and the only thing that kept us together were emails and text messages. We had to cut our adventures short to be with each other. Otherwise, we would've probably pursued different paths.

55. Do you know why it's called "Random Boredom"?
Huh? Is it because you chose to bored randomly?


56. Do you thing (sic) that it's always the man's responsibility to initiate sex?
That was before but now no more! Hello, girl power?!?!?!!! If you feel like it, then go get it! It's fun this way rather than waiting for someone tee-hee-hee.

57. Have you ever made in love while you were in the same room with another couple?
Errm, no, that's sick!  

58. Tell us the best thing about your current or most recent S/O.
He is goofy, generous, hardworking and he just fills me with love.

59. Tell us the worst thing about your current or most recent S/O.
His impatience!

60. Would you write one question in today's comments so that we could have our followers allow us to steal their questions? We'll need at least 15.
Pass, I'm too lazy to think of one this time.

Saturday 9: Half the Man I Used toBe




1. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that you were ten years ago?
I'm not sure if I want to be the same person as I was 10 years ago! So, no.

2. Is there something that you have to give all or nothing to?
What do you mean, like money? I have no money to begin with, so, the answer is no.

3. Have you ever gambled?
No. Wait, does playing bingo count as gambling as well?

4. Can you sleep anywhere or does it have to be in bed?
If I am really, really tired and sleepy I can practically sleep almost anywhere -- in the car, plane, or my work desk! *lol*

5. Tell us about the most disastrous or embarrassing first impression you've ever made on someone?
Hmmm, I don't think I ever made something like that before.

6. Do you have a memorable "ripped clothing" moment in your life? No? How about in someone else's?
Unfortunately yes, that was years ago when I was working in a remote Cambodian village. I ripped my pants while helping villagers cut/make a trail through a very thick bamboo forest.

7. What's changed on your blog since its inception? ... a redo? ... a change of pace? ... or is it about the same?
Template change, in my attempt to attract more visitors, and oh, more memes!

8. If you could travel back in time and whisper something to yourself ten years ago, what would it be?
Who farted?

9. Okay, let's have it! What's the craziest, most impulsive thing you've ever done?
Gone skinny-dipping in the beach with uni classmates while our lecturer was around. Aahh, to be young and reckless and drunk once upon a time!

Sunday Stealing 020: The Majorly Personal Meme, Part Two

Sunday Stealing: The Majorly Personal Meme, Part Two

21. If you were to live your life without your  best friend, what would change?
I lost my best friend when my family moved to the province. I found some new friends but I still was yearning to find my childhood friend. Thanks to Facebook, I recently found her after more than 20 years!

22. Tell us an era of your life that you really miss?
My university life! Most people say their high school life is the best time of their lives but I beg to disagree. I had the time of my life when I was studying in uni.

23. Have you ever been betrayed by someone that came as a complete surprise? Without revealing the person, if yes, tell us about it.
No, not really. I don't let my guard down so easily and I can see danger signals soon enough, before anything nasty is done to me.

24. Do you ever think that it is a good idea to hide your feelings?
Well, there are certainly times that it is best to keep your feelings to yourself.

25. Tell us about your favourite year when you were a student.
That would be 1993 - when I was doing my media internships!

25. When was the last time you were in a very good mood? What caused it?
Yesterday, it was perfect! We did our usual errands and just stayed at home, chillaxing. And then we got a word from my in-laws about our anniversary present from them! My in-laws rock!

26. Have you ever had a romantic relationship with a sibling of a good friend?
No, never. I always thought it would be kind of incestuous. *lol*

27. Tell us about the last thing that you did that you truly regret.
Picking up a fight with my husband over a silly, silly thing. That was months ago. I'm glad I can control myself now.

28. When did you laughed today?
Just after breakfast, after walking the dogs. My one-year old dog, Joe, had his zooming moment, running around the house like there's no tomorrow and for no reason at all. It lasted for about a minute. My husband said it's the exuberance of youth!

29. Do you trust easily?
No, my walls are always up, especially with strangers.

30. What do you care about that most people would?
Tolerance, I guess.

31. Is it easier for you to go without food or without sleep?
Without food! I am such sleep-hungry, if there's ever a word like that.

32. What non-alcohol beverage do you enjoy drinking the most?
Coffee

33. When you walk into a room full of strangers, generally how is your confidence?
I'm alright but a bit self-conscious as not to make any boo-boos like walking into a glass wall or something.

34. Does talking about sex with anyone but your lover make you uncomfortable?
No. It's a subject that was explored when I was in university so we tackled it academically. Outside school, I had friends who are quiet open and candid about sex and it's something that I am not shy when it is being discussed or talked about. I don't, however, volunteer information, unless I'm asked! hahaha

35. Do you tend to believe members of the opposite sex mostly behave the same way?
I don't. Each of us react differently, depending on our life's experiences, and regardless of sex. And it is also not good to put certain people in a box or label them as so-and-so just because they are behaving this and that.

36. Did you drink any alcohol this week? If yes, what?
Yeah, we are celebrating a milestone so we had beer last night and probably will be opening a bottle of red tonight =)

37. Would you ever consider being a vegetarian?
Probably not. I mean, I can, for the longest time, be without meat and all but I would never be a 100% vegetarian. It's because I love fish, shrimps, and other seafoods as well.

38. Do you believe there's always a room in your heart for someone?
Yes, I believe that. The only thing my heart doesn't have a space for is hatred.

39. Do you believe in the concept of soul mates?
Do you believe in souls?

40.  Last week we had a few players criticise our victim's questions. Which is fine to do and we value your opinion. Would you ever consider writing questions for Bud and me to post on Sunday Stealing?
What, and in return I'll be criticised, too? *lol*  Just kidding. Anytime =)
