Vogue Parody 73 Questions Challenge
1.What’s your usual Starbuck’s order?
I don’t usually go to Starbucks, as I have a coffee brewer at home, but I am a big fan of their matcha green tea frappuccino.
2. What does your workstation look like?
Fairly neat. I work on a small foldable table so it looks pretty crowded but I just have my laptop on it, an electric kettle, a little basket (holds my car keys, lip balms, phone charger, wallet, earbuds, and a few napkins I get when I go out to eat), and usually my mug!
3. Favourite food?
I think it’s a tie between sushi or ramen… and NOT the instant noodle ramen (no offense Nissin, I still love you).
4. Favourite author?
Ahh.. I do not have one! There are so many great authors with different writing styles.
5. What do you think of open relationships?
I’m not into it and I only want my boyfriend to myself haha.
6. What is your favourite video game?
There’s so many video games I like, honestly! I love playing Sims 4 and MapleStory on PC, and LittleBigPlanet and Tekken on my PS3. Overcooked is slowly creeping up as my fave PS4 game so far.
7. Guilty pleasure treat?
… I treat myself to guilty pleasure treats all the time so I feel no guilt anymore LOL. I love cheesecake and tiramisu cake!
8. Favourite movie?
Enchanted!
9. Favourite book?
I don’t have one – just like the favorite author question, I’ve read so many awesome books that I can’t choose between them all!
10. Twitter or Instagram?
Twitter.
11. Desktop or laptop?
Laptop, for portability.
12. Best advice you’ve ever received?
Take chances, believe in yourself, and give credit to yourself where it’s due. I feel it’s often so hard to do the third because of Impostor Syndrome and just trying to be humble … but we have to try to constantly adjust our thinking and accept that we do have some amazing talents and abilities!
13. What project are you working on right now?
I’m working on an art project for a friend! If you follow my art Instagram account, you’ll see it in your feed the near future, as it’s almost done. My art IG account is @geraldinedraws, by the way!
14. Favourite colour?
I love neutral colors. Other than that, my favorite color is blue!
15. Did you get good grades in school?
Yes, I was an overachiever and was Valedictorian in high school.
16. Dream job?
My dream job would be sampling all the amazing cuisines all over the world! Not scorpions, spiders, rats, dogs, cats though, I have certain standards!
17. Play any sports?
I used to, but I am actually not much of a sports person. I used to play Tennis in high school. If my high school had a swim team, I probably would’ve been in it too.
18. Do you have a degree?
Even though I spent a total of four years in several colleges, I only have an Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene.
19. Nationality?
Filipino.
20. What is your favourite kind of blog post?
My favorite blog posts are either tags like these in which I can learn more about someone, or something full of GIFs in it, or something related to video games!
21. What do you like to collect?
Bath and Body Works lotion and body sprays!
22. Describe yourself in three words?
Quiet, imaginative, creative
23. If you were a rapper what would your stage name be?
G Money. Some of my coworkers already call me that (not in front of the patients of course)!

Victor, my boyfriend.
25. What’s on top of your wish list right now?
Laser hair removal!! I’ve been wanting to get it done for years and I might actually make it happen before the end of this year and will make a blog post about it if I do. STAY TUNED. I got my friend and boyfriend hyped to do it too and he might get some done during his visit to the US!
26. Sorting house?
You’re gonna hate me (maybe, I hope not) but I’ve only watched like the first one or two Harry Potter movies and never read any of the books … 🙈 I know, I need to add it to my to-do list!
27. How many tattoos do you have?
None.
28. What are you most grateful for this year?
Being alive and having my family, food, and shelter above my head. Family includes my boyfriend Victor, who has been my buffer for every single complaint and sad story I had. I’m lucky to have him.

I finished my Art History I summer class! On to better things in the Fall!

I’ll have to say Spring. I hate the Summers here for its humidity and the Winters for all the freaking power outages we get.
33. Favourite holiday?
Christmas
34. What fictional character do you relate to the most?
I honestly don’t know… and I’m sure there’s a better answer if I think longer and harder, but right now all I can relate to is Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron. He is an asthmatic, and he always complains about his scapula. I don’t complain about my scapula specifically, but I complain about my back all the time. I’m also an asthmatic!
35. Do you like surprises?
Yes! For better or for worse, they spice up my life.
36. What’s the biggest surprise you’ve ever had?
The biggest I can think of is when I got my acceptance letter by email into the Dental Hygiene program. The one I was applying to, along with a few other schools, had a very competitive program in which several hundreds apply to every year. I was ecstatic I got in.
37. Which surprise made you cry?
I can’t recall any surprise that made me cry.
38. What’s the best surprise you’ve given someone else?

Donuts.
47. If you could teach a college class, what would it be called?

48. Best animated film?
Spirited Away or The Secret World of Arrietty. It’s a tie to me.
49. What has a guy said or done to impress you?
The only guy that has ever impressed me is my first and current boyfriend, Victor. He’s said a lot of things that was honestly super sweet and romantic and I don’t want to flood this post with the things he said, but basically the things he said were very straight forward, not vague, and just really romantic. Below is a direct copy + paste of one of our conversations and this took place when I was stressing out due to a certain life situation and this is what he said to me.
I’m not a perfect person. I struggle with lots of things.
But you are very important to me
If I didn’t have you, I would still be thinking of dying everyday until I actually did itYou breathed life into me, and I want nothing but the best for you
And for us too grow old together
And be together for eternity
You could probably do without me
But I cannot live without youAnd I don’t expect you to be perfect and faultless
And I don’t resent you for it
I love you as you areI feel happy if you are
I feel sad if you’re sad or stressedI’ll be with you every step of the way
I’ll always support you as best as I can
50. Best thing to do on a first date?
Go out to dinner or making something together for dinner! And getting to know each other obviously.

Bad manners or being super aggressive
52. What’s the best pick up line?
I can’t think of any, I only know of corny ones haha!
53. Best comic book character?
Captain underpants. HAHA I’m sure I can come up with a better answer but that’s the first thing that popped up in my head!
54. Name three things which can always be found in your purse.
Hand sanitizer, my wallet, hand lotion.
55. Favourite drink?
Tea.
56. If you could play a historical character in a movie who would it be?
This question was really hard for me to answer because 1) I don’t really watch a lot of movies and 2) I don’t really watch historical movies. All I can think of is being Ip Man, because it would be cool to be an awesome kung-fu master who has many disciples in my practice! If you’re wondering why I know this, it’s because my Uncle watches a lot of kung fu movies in the living room.
57. Kittens or puppies?
Darn it I love both! I’ll have to say puppies just for the sake of this question.
58. Favourite sushi roll?
It’s called the Transformer Roll in my local sushi joint. It’s “Spicy scallop, crabstick, and masago on the inside. Topped with salmon, eel, and multi-color tobiko. Grilled with eel sauce and spicy sauce.” YUM!

Nothing.

68. If your life was a song what would the title be?
How Could It Get Any Worse?
69. What’s your favourite animal?
Dogs. I love every single animal on earth but my first real intense love was for dogs!

oh girl, literally nodded my head and said same when I saw that you listed sleep as the best thing ever…it truly is lol! Also, that ramen photo actually makes me crave ramen right now… and I’m dying to try the transformer sushi roll that you described! 😀
The iron giant always makes me cry, too! Thanks for tagging me. 🙂
Sleep is so good, can’t function without it!! Haha I’m sorry!! It is so good isn’t it 😅🤣 No problem girly I can’t wait to read yours!
Thanks for tagging me!
Really enjoyed reading your answers. We have a lot in common. I love playing overcook me and my husband play it all the time together. Sometimes we don’t progress because we keep pushing each other off the stage.>.< Definitely going to follow your art account and I'm going to check out the illustrators you mentioned. I really enjoyed reading this and getting to know you. 😀
You’re welcome Angela! Overcooked is so good! My boyfriend gets stressed out with it and doesn’t like to play too long haha! Ahh yes I know what you mean, it can be frustrating when we’re always tossing each other off. Thank you so much for checking out my art IG!
Yaaas to The Sims 4 (I just got it off about 30 minutes ago, lol)! My boyfriend introduced me to Overcooked last year and absolutely love that game on the PS4, haha. I get so caught up and the adrenaline starts pumping every time we play that game together.
I’m a diehard sushi fan but it’s only been this year or so that I’ve been craving ramen a fair decent amount.
Hahaha that’s so funny, isn’t it so great?! It is all too easy to get caught up in Overcooked. Sushi and ramen are so great, you can’t go wrong 🙂
MMmmm you can never go wrong with a green tea frappuccino. I agree with you about sushi though! You make me want to go out and eat some, hehe. I like the idea of taking chances – you never grow if you settle. Hehe, being a paid foodie sounds like THE LIFE! I’m more of a cake person as well. Pies don’t appeal to me at all. That sushi roll with the salmon and eggs sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing all of these answers!
