The Community Meme

I am not really a social butterfly, so even if this weekend (and this coming week) is the time when people use "busy," "hectic," and "chaos" into one sentence, I am not really that much affected. Sure, it's busy here in the house, but as of this writing, I am enjoying the house all for myself.

This weekend, questions are from Tom Baker of "Morning Erection." Quite a catchy blog title, if you ask me. Here are the questions ... and my answers:

1. As a blogger, what do you draw inspirations from for your posts?
> Life.

2. If you could swap blogs with another blogger for a post, who would you switch with and why?
> Don Dee of "The Mungo Conspiracy." I admire how he can be vocal about his opinions about certain matters, I would like to write my own through his blog... as I don't think I can air out some of my commentaries here on my own blog.

3. If your blog had a theme song, what would it be? Why?
> "I Am What I Am"

4. What is your writing process for a post?
> I usually tell the story behind the day / image(s). I am not gifted with a very wide perspective of how to present a blog post, so I just stick to the story telling part of things.

5. Your blog requires a cute, new, mascot - what would it be?
> I'll just put my picture there. Hahaha. Or, I can use pictures of my cat Oreo.

6. Do you feel you express your "true self" on your blog?
> To the most of my capabilities, yes. Of course, there are some matters I can't share on my blogs (like family matters - especially if the topic's quite sensitive like family quarrels and problems), but other than that, I am my true self on all my blogs.

7. What is your biggest online pet-peeve?
> People using their blogs to bash other people.

8. If you could live in a fictional universe, where would you live? Why?
> Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I am not into sweets... but the whole place seems magical - and yes, I wanna be friends with the Oompa Loompas.

9. You're having a bad day, you're upset, you're angry, or you're sad - what is your go-to comfort?
> Facebook Games. Currently, I am very much into Tetris Battle.

10. What is your favorite inspirational quote?
> "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

11. If they were to make a movie based on your life, who would play you, your leading lady/man, your best friend, and your rival?
> This is a difficult question. I don't think I have the time to actually think about my answer.

12. Do you think the world is going to end in 2012?
> Well, the world will end when it ends... for some people their world will about to end today, to some tomorrow. I guess we will just have to celebrate life while we still have it, rather than worry about when it will actually end.

13. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
> The way I look. This is something I am working on... I want to be out of my obese self.

14. What is your favorite season and why?
> Here in the Philippines, we only have two seasons (well three... if you will count Christmas), but my favorite is summer.

15. You've been bitten by a vampire. Would you fight it with all your undead being or would you embrace it for all it is worth?
> Embrace it for all it's worth.



16. Have you personally met any of your blogger friends?
> Yes! Well, most of the bloggers I met, I met through events - most of them I become friends with after I met them personally (as we love to exchange blog details to say hi after the event), but there were few bloggers who are already my blog friends before I even meet them - like the bloggers behind the Thursday photography meme - "Litratong Pinoy."

17. What does your favorite pair of underwear look like?
> My turquoise thong.

18. Have you ever drank something right from the container in the refrigerator knowing other people will have to drink out of the same container later?
> Hahaha. Yes.

19. What is your favorite word and explain why?
> Equilibrium. It is something I am striving for - kinda like Yin and Yang.

20. 2011 is soon coming to a close, is there anything you'd like to do different on your blog in the year 2012?
> I plan to delete one of my photography-themed blog and open a new one, or maybe delete this one and devote my personal time over my weight loss-themed blog....but all are still hazy; will know when 2012 starts.
