Let’s lighten it up:

A) First, recommend to me:
1. a movie
2. a book
3. a musical artist, song, or album

B) I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want.

C) Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends to ask you anything; say that you stole it from me.

I stole this from PinayHekmi.

Here are the questions that I received with my answers. I will continually update this post for each set of question I get.

Added as of 27 Nov…questions from Dominattyrix.

From PinayHekmi:
1. If you found a fiver on the ground, would you try to look for who owned it or pocket it surreptitiously?

Yes, I would look for who lost it, honestly. And if I find no one, then I’d keep it.

2. Which do you prefer, the U.K. or America?

UK, simply because I am already here and that it is in Europe where history and culture and diversity is rich!

3. If you could save only 1 item from your home because of a fire, what would you save? (Barring any people living them. Pretend they get out ok).

Oooh, tough one…let’s see, on top of my head…my 32″ LCD TV (too heavy to carry! so, NO)…my entire Friends DVD collection (NAH, box sets are getting cheaper these days)…I suppose then it would have to be my PASSPORT. Felt so lost and imprisoned when I didn’t have it for a long time (while residency papers were being sorted out) and I couldn’t bear not having it with me – the hassle of replacing the passport, re-applying for the US B1/B2 visa and re-stamping for my UK residency will outweigh replacing my more expensive items at home.

From SuperPinggay:
1. Bakit nasa dulo ng stick yong taba ng BBQ? (Why is the fatty portion of the meat is always towards the end of the skewer?)

When the meat is still raw, the lean portion is easier to pierce with a skewer than the fatty portion.

2. Kung isa kang gulong ng sasakyan, san mo gustong ilagay/gamitin ka? (If you were a car tyre, where would like to be placed/used?) Front left, front right, back left, back right or spare?

If a were a car tyre, I would like to be on the front, driver’s side (left or right depending on which side of the road you drive). Front because it gets to arrive at the destination first. Driver’s side, because I won’t get scratched or dragged on the curb more often.

3. Kung isa kang kulangot, other than inside the nose, sang location mo gustong mailagay ka ng amo mo? (If you were a booger, other than inside the nose, where would you like your owner to put you?)

On the underside of the table because that is where everyone else is!

From Dominattyrix:
1. Forced Choice: A person you are in love with but doesn’t love you back and prolly won’t love you back, ever. Or, a person who loves you to death but you don’t love and would prolly never grow to love?

Person I am in love with but doesn’t and won’t ever love me back. I’d rather be the one suffering that the other person. Not in my nature. Besides, I don’t think I’d ever agree to be with a person if I don’t feel anything for him. If that were true, I wouldn’t still be single now.

2. UK-related questions: Why is it that Brit guys seem effeminate? Is that a cultural thing? Hehehe. And why do brits say “bloody” a lot? Does this have anything to do with bloody mary?

Brit guys seem effeminate probably because of the posh and refined upbringing and backgrounds. Maybe it is cultural and historic or just how society perceives it. We tend to associate the refine nature to be that of a woman as men are always pictured to as beasts. Not all of British men are, anyway, as there is the extreme end. Take “My Fair Lady” – you have Prof. Higgins who is so tight in his poshly manners and then you have Alfred Doolittle, a cockney-speaking, pub-drinking rogue. As for why do they say bloody a lot, I don’t know. Will research on that one and post it here later.

3. If you could forget about the name your parents gave you, what name/s would you choose for yourself? Why?

Megan. Because it sounds strong and knowledgeable.
