Instead of the usual Q&A like those in slumbooks, I picked 27 questions from the game "Ice Breaker 2" and answered questions.
Directions:
- Pick X number of cards according to your age when you play this game with yourself.
- Skip cards that are labeled: privilege
- Answer/Comment on the questions according to the order of the cards that you picked.
Mine goes:
Comment on this: "Integrity of feelings is the art of being real with another person"
I agree with this statement. A friend just recently told me that I am the type who gets really emotionally involved with friends and more often ends up fighting their battles for them.
What one thing you can do to have an effect on government this year?
I honestly do not know what great effect I can do for the government this year since I am on sabbatical but I guess what I can do as an individual is be a good citizen (pay taxes, etc.)
If you were to die this very moment, do you know for sure where you would spend eternity? Explain.
I don’t know actually, it’s actually a scary thought for me but I am hopeful that God loves me and he knows the best intentions of my heart.
A protestant friend of mine shared something wonderful few weeks ago, it’s about GRACE. She said that we are automatically forgiven by God and that’s called Grace. And when you die, it’s resting in peace. You are automatically at rest and the bad things that might have happened to you are consequences of the choices that you made and you are automatically forgiven. You just have to make better choices next time so that you’ll get good results.
Where do you want to be five years from today?
I would be in a stable job that I am passionate about and hopefully would have settled down with the person I am sure to be sticking up with. I would definitely be living a quiet simple life.
If you can give one sentence advice about how to live life, what would it be?
Do not be afraid to make mistakes but take calculated risks.
Share to us one of the strangest dreams you ever had.
A person who knows me by name was asked by my lost great love to take care of me. Like it was an errand that she has to take care of me to the point that I get to be chauffeured around. And that person who knows me by name is my lost great love’s current love. (Weird Cheesyness much!)
What is the best gift that you can give yourself and why?
Peace of mind. The mind has been underestimated so many times but people don’t know how much the mind plays a great role in changing your life.
What is your chief disappointment in being single?
People asking me when I am going to settle down when it doesn’t really bother me that much.
What is scary, if anything, about your relating intimately with someone?
Emotional attachment.
Fill in and Share: One of the best things I ever got for free was...
Having at least one real good friend for keeps wherever I go, and what company or career I get myself into. I am very blessed and I am grateful that I take care of these friendships.
When you think of your lonely times, what scares you about the experience?
Of returning to the exact same phase like I did not learn.
Did you ever go against a fashion rage? Why?
I really don’t know much about fashion rage but I love classics. I dress depends on the where I am, and I tend to be a chameleon.
Share to us your biggest argument you had with your parents.
I’ve had several arguments with them when growing up but the latest was when I was venting out about my feelings towards work and what I am dealing with.
One of the long-standing grudges I've held was...
I was betrayed by either an ex or a so-called friend, but I pretty much weeded them out of my life that I had forgotten what it felt like nor even remember their face.
Tell us one of the worst fights you ever got into.
When I got into more than a fist fight with a guy when I was in college because he took advantage of me.
What type of partner would you choose for yourself?
Someone who is intelligent, with a wicked sense of humor than I do (can make me fall off my chair laughing), good conversationalist (one I can stay up until wee hours in the morning just talking), responsible partner/parent, spiritual, can take my craziness, neat, simple, better than me in social skills.
What is your dominant fear?
Not being able to properly say goodbye ( involving sudden death).
Would you dare to sleep in a haunted house overnight?
I would because when I'm sleepy I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere. But when in a haunted house, I doubt if I will be able to sleep at all but as long as I go with my highschool friends especially the boys, staying in a haunted house is going to be funny than scary- guaranteed!
Share us a time when you really hated your job.
It came to a point that I am literally dragging my self to work and I've never been more unhappy in my entire life.
What one place would you never want to return to and why?
Not literally a place or address, but I would never want to return to the time that I fell out of balance that it doesn’t matter which place I am in because I never get to enjoy it.
What was the best decision you ever made?
Quitting my job and finally let go of the things that made me unhappy.
Do you consider yourself a good lover? How?
Yes. For reasons I cannot disclose in cyberspace.
How did you go about your "Great Escape" from peer pressure?
I tried to go with that my peers liked but my personal preferences surfaced that I had to make a point to please myself and not others.
What fantasy would you like to live out and why?
Jenni Epperson is my life peg when I turn 30. For the meantime my positivity peg is Divine Lee.
How did you deal with unfriendly neighbors?
I do not know my own neighbors back in my old apartment, except that the guy who lives few steps from me is my friend Jon.
How do you express your anger to your enemy? To your best friends? To a parent?
I do not really have an enemy. Wow! It feels good to say that I'm not really the type who "barks" because I "bite". Simple as that. With friends, I tell it to them, no pretensions and in all honesty. I believe that real friends will always tell you the truth no matter how much truth hurts than let you make a fool of yourself in front of everybody.
With my parents, I give them a piece of my mind. Which is rare, because I am quiet most of the time but when I speak up, I say what I mean.
Do you favor group dating?
I would if I don’t like the guy. As they say, there’s courage in numbers.
I will bring my Ice Breaker cards with me on the next shot sessions with friends from Grad School and see how much fun it'll bring!
Ice Breaker Cards + Alcohol = FTW!
