1. What's your blog about? This is your one and only chance to plug your blog.

It’s all about my views, ideas and perspectives about lots of things. Collaboration of thoughts and insights. Every little things that I came across daily and various happenings with me. Thoughts about life in general, mostly about relationships, sexuality, women and men. As long as random questions keep coming to me, I’ll probably keep asking about them. They’re thoughts on nothing in particular and more. I love my website, but I’m not in love with it. Does that make me a bad person? This is the place where I could bitch, moan and otherwise say what’s on my mind. The rest of the world may not care, but I do.


2. One of your most recent posts was a horoscope. How often do you check yours and how often do you really believe what they tell you?

Once in a while, because I know trusting them too much is taboo, yet I do find some truth to them. Answer to the question lies very much in the same realm as why people believe in just about any superstition. Everything that happens to us, even the slightest or seemingly most significant events, happens for a particular reason. Horoscope is just smoke screen to deflect your attention from what is going on, which is a cold reading. I don’t believe everything it says, for some of the advice is usually very vague and general, I often be better than no advice at all.


3. You have a banner at the top of your page promoting the site OpenMind which works against prejudice, discrimination, bigotry and the like. You know there will always be people who discriminate and have blind hatred for others. What made you join and want to promote this site?

They have the same main goal as my personal blog, to gather open-minded people, to promote an open-minded attitude and approach towards different aspects of society. I grew up and live in a country with such variety of ethnicities, sexual orientations, cultural values, religious beliefs, political positions, and so on. Everyone is unique, with their perspectives and I respect that. Open-mindedness can tune us in to a pathway, and definitely a learning experience. I don’t see being open as vulnerability or susceptibility. Openness is sometimes called guru thinking or scientific thinking. I observe and act without intention and observe the results and learn from them. Pure sense of it is never a surprised because I don’t presuppose the results, but learn from whatever happens. This doesn’t mean I don’t make theories, it does, however, means that I don’t cling to those theories. We meet a lot of people everyday with different viewpoint than ours, we don’t have to give up our own beliefs and accept theirs. We should just try to listen to and understand others point of view on the subject and try to see where are they coming from. This simply means, we should respect each other and don’t claim that our opinion is better or right and that they are false.

Remember, what is normal for some is not normal for others. So let’s all embrace diversity, for the world is too big to be alone.

4. From reading your blog, I know you work in research and development. I can't be sure but I'm sure when you were five that wasn't your dream job. So please tell us about a few of the jobs you thought would be cool to have when you were a kid.

As a kid, I was always ‘fascinated’ to be a president, be that of a country, large company, or any other position where I will be doing a job using my mind and making decisions instead of taking orders. I was one of those girls who wanted to be president some day. I want to hold a position of any weight, power or prestige. I was encouraged to believe in myself. I never believed in a glass ceiling or that I can’t do anything. I was taught that I could choose whatever honest job would make me happy and content.

5. WOULD you ever do the following? Explain your answer.

Swim nude in the ocean: Sure, why not.
Bungee jump: I don’t mind jumping, but with my head first? No way
Eat worms for a hundred dollars: I’ll give you two hundred, if you’ll eat it first
Mud wrestle: I’ve done wrestling, but not in the mud
Tell your boss he/she is an idiot: I did, without her knowing it
Go a week without a shower: I can’t even last a day without it
Cry to get out of trouble: Nope, crying are for little girls. Hehe


6. If you had the option of either, Dying in happiness at a young age or Dying unhappy but very rich when you're 80, which would you choose and why?  

I hate talking about death, but just for the sake of answering the question. Neither, I planned on living to my latest and with great happiness.

8. Pretend that you're a princess back in the 1800's. Your parents, the King and Queen are in the process of picking a husband for you out of all your suitors. They've narrowed it down to three and since you find it unfair that they're picking for you in the first place, they've decided you can choose one of the three they've narrowed it down to.

The first one is tall and gorgeous prince. He's a drunk though and he will verbally berate you billgerently every night. He'll be very arrogant because of his good looks and he will treat you like you're lucky to be in his presence. He's wealthy and will financially take good care of you but he will use the rich gifts he buys you to make up for the fact that he will spend little time with you.

The second is a good looking prince as well. He is still quite attatched to his mother and refuses to move from her castle, so if you marry him, you too will be living in his mothers home and obeying all her rules. He will cling to you and never let you have any privacy because he gets very attatched to his love interestd. He has horrendous body odor and no amount of scrubbing and cleaning can make it go away.

The third is also a gorgeous prince. He will treat you like the royalty you are and buy you everything you ever wanted. He will take you out and show you off to everyone but never leave your side so everyone knows that you are his. He will take care of you when you are sick and he will always listen to you talk. He loves women and he will adore you, never hit and never yell at you. Problem being, he does loves women and will have many, many mistresses through out your life together.

Those are the three they have chosen for you. Which do you pick and why?

What kind of parents do I have? These men are the best of the best? First prince, a NO, why? Arrogance to me is a big turn off, it’s a bad habit and rank among the worst. Second prince, a NO NO, why? I can’t stand a guy who can’t stand up for their own self. Call it selfish, but if I marry a man I won’t share a bed with another woman and sure won’t settle for a number two position in his life. Third prince, a flying F*** NO, who would go for a cheating bastard? Would you go for a guy who can’t keep his penis in his pants? These kind of behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

Bottom line, I’d rather be unmarried than be with someone who will look, step down, treat and think of me less than I deserved.
