020; [3/50 QTWFYM] their eyes cast down|i'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

So I stumbled upon a website with a whole bunch of questions, 50 to be exact, that one can ask them self. I love talking about life and self, although it can be depressing sometimes. Anyway, I scanned through the questions and I thought it would be kind of fun to answer them in this blog. So hope you enjoy my answers, and please feel free to leave YOUR answer in the comments. 


50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind 
3.If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Because that's just a part of life.
My "dream job" is teaching overseas. That's something that I've wanted to do since elementary school, and the spark has not worn out. If anything, it's only gotten bigger. So as much as I don't want to do summer school or by extension any school in general, I kinda have to in order to reach my goal. 
Imagine getting everything you want with the snap of your finger (or push of a button if you can't snap). Novelty wears out fast. The reason why we really appreciate things is because we have to work for it. Besides, we should appreciate what we have right now. Some people love focusing on the shitty things of life. All I can say to that is suck it up princess.

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?  Both of them kind of suck, but never trying is the worst.
I'm pretty open-minded and I love trying new things, although I do have a slight fear of failing....Back in high school I went to some outdoors place with activities such as archery, tight rope walking, and rock climbing. If you know me, you know that I am not an athletic person, so naturally I had this huge fear of making a fool of myself and failing.   I tried everything and I'm really glad I did because it was really fun! Also, I didn't fail too miserably... I didn't fall, I made it to the top, but I couldn't hit the board for the life of me.

018; [1/50 QTWFYM] What's my age again?

So I stumbled upon a website with a whole bunch of questions, 50 to be exact, that one can ask them self. I love talking about life and self, although it can be depressing sometimes. Anyway, I scanned through the questions and I thought it would be kind of fun to answer them in this blog. So hope you enjoy my answers, and please feel free to leave YOUR answer in the comments. 

50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind
1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?                                                      
  
According to others: between the ages of 12 - 25. 
             I went out to Montana's Cookhouse on Family Day and the hostess gave us our menus. She gave me a special paper kids menu. Please take note that kids menus are given to children under the age of 12 meaning anyone over the age of 12 cannot order from the kids menu. To add on to that, she told me there are activities at the back. 
             On the older side, I was observing as ESL class and the students were curious about my age. I told them to take a guess. Here's what they thought: 22?23?25?24? When I told them my age, they were kind of shocked.                                                                                                                                                                                                          
According to myself: 16; 18; 20; 36
              I have to admit, there are times where I get overly excited about something/someone and I act like a squealish, 16 year old, teen bopper fangirl... BUT I can say that I'm not and never was that bad actually. I'm not the type of person, nor was I ever, to wait outside for days for a glimpse of celeb crushes. I never dreamed of spending my life with crushes. I never even wrote to crushes. Here's a fun quote my friend said to me back in high school: "Be careful, your fangirl is showing" - JM 
              I feel that 18 is a transition stage, and I don't feel comfortable thinking of myself as an "adult." I can't cook, drive, or do laundry. I can however make appointments and sign documents. So um,  I have not yet reached that stage of independence. 
                I feel 20 and I don't know why exactly. I mean it's  almost there, so maybe it's an internal thing. Also, 20 relates to university/college student and that's exactly what I am.  
               Sometimes I feel so tired after school or work and all I want to do is sleep. Unlike many people my age who have a night life, I like to spend most of mine relaxing at home. So in that way, I feel like a burnt out 36 year old stay at home mom perhaps? Also, I have find couponing interesting - not that I would do it (too much work), but it fascinates me.
so there's me in a messy nutshell.

017; First time teaching and I fell in love with Judas

Like many students, I've done presentations.
Like many prospect teachers, I've tutored students.
Unlike many teachers, I've not taught many lessons.

I taught my first official lesson today in an ESL (english as a second language) class.
Keeping it brief, there were moments of both good and bad, but the best was the rapport I built with the students (they even clapped at the end of the lesson). They all seemed like interesting people and I really wanted to talk to them on a more friend-like level buuut I had to restrain for "professional" reasons.

On the side note: new Lady GaGa <3

016; No Go Radio = Scre4m and Sushi

"She's Daniel Radcliffe to my J.K. Rowling" Gale Weathers

I bought tickets to see A Rocket To The Moon earlier last month and the only reason I wanted to go to the show was for the opener Go Radio. It turns out that they won't even be there because of transportation issues. Sadness. VERY disappointed. Not disappointed at the members of band, more so the situation. Anyway, I ended up selling the ticket for face value. Yay me for not scalping - cause I totally could have made a few extra bucks because of the sold out show.

After a change of plans, I ended up watching Scream 4 and eating sushi with some friends. I sat in the chairs of the store while waiting for my friend to get off work. When a girl asked me if I was there for the interview, I soon discovered that the people sitting there were waiting for a job interview. I didn't exactly fit in with the fashion-frilly girls with my ripped jeans and worn out Chucks, but maybe that was Hollister was calling me?  Naah, I'm kidding, mere coincidence. But in all honesty, I really wanted to take part in the interview with them 'cause I really need a job : (

I'm not a fan of horror films. I know it's all made up but I still get scared! In fact, one of the trailers (Don't Be Afraid of the Dark) scared my shitless. Thinking about it scares me. Kind of hypocritical that I'm watching Scream, but I'll explain.  Scream is categorically horror, however I've seen the previous ones to know how the story is going to fall. There's no surprise: the killer is always in a Ghost face costume, mysterious phone calls, the weapon of choice is a regular kitchen knife, and stupid people who don't know how to lock doors. Same goes for the Final Destination series where the story line is practically the same and it's the mundane that attacks people in gruesome ways. But ya, Scre4m was an entertaining movie. Ridiculously hilarious at the most inappropriate parts (laughing just thinking about it). Personally I don't like Emma Roberts and I find her so boring. Okay SPOILER ALERT.  She plays a dumb bitch and the master mind of Ghost face to get FAME. Are you freakin' kidding me? I think what Wes Craven was trying to say is that people do stupid things for fame - and he definitely shows that in the movie - as stupid as stupid can get. Also, the 3 survivors survive.

Watch any "scary" movies lately?

Jan 24-25; last days and aftermath

Day 19
The family went out to some fancy continental buffet to celebrate my gramma's birthday.
Just wanna say that chocolate cake tasted nasty.
Mosquito Bite Count: 24 +2

Day 20


I went out for coffee at the Marriott Hotel and it turned out that Shah Rukh Kahn (huge Bollywood star) was going to be there promoting the new show Wipeout. A little informal history lesson behind the show: Japan has some reality shows where people complete crazy obstacles courses for money/prizes. America takes the idea and has reality shows like that, the one of the more popular being Wipeout. India has its own version now.... I had a flight to catch so I couldn't stay.
On the flight home, I got really sick. All I want to say is that it was the worst experience I've ever had. Thankfully there were some really nice passengers, flight attendants, and doctors on board.  Anyways, all I could say is that I'm hella glad to be back.

Jan 23; churches, a mall and a bag of chips

 Day 18
I went to two churches in the morning: Mount Mary and another one in which I cannot recall the name... 
As you may have noticed, I visited to a lot of churches during my trip but that does not mean that I am a religious freak or anything. I just followed my mom around. But that's not to say that I don't like churches. I do enjoy the architecture. 

Mount Mary
Inside Mount Mary
Church #2 had a warning sign







I went to Inorbit Mall in the evening. They have a little midway park outside, arcade inside, tons of stores, and the food court was huge! There was a wide variety of ethnic food too. Very western. Their version of America's Starbucks is Britain's Costa Coffee. There aren't many options, and doesn't taste nearly as good, and the service was so slow... and it took them two tries to get my ice cappuccino right. The first time consisted of coffee with a chunk of ice in it... Ya, trying it once is more than enough.
New flavour chips: Thai Chili, yummm
