No idea.

Excuse me?

Basic stuff like movies, dinners, hikes, etc.
What do/did you think of your high school?
K lung.
What is the dirtiest rap song you have ever heard?
“Banyo Queen”, maybe? It needs a trigger warning, in my opinion.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Parang wala naman.

Do you think Victoria’s Secret is overpriced?
I think everything is overpriced.
Do you have a tumblr?
Yep.
Why is it that photography is becoming a trend?
It was big back in the day, wasn’t it? I think it had something to do with the sudden availability/accessibility of digital cameras, and also the growing popularity of online platforms where people could post their photos. Or maybe not, I dunno.

Don’t you hate it when one of your earbuds stops working?
Yes! Before the era of AirPods and other fancy schmancy earphone brands, all I could afford were 50-peso earbuds from the roadside tiangge along PhilCoa. The wires were too flimsy, so one of the buds were guaranteed to fail within a month or two. Kainis!
Speaking of PhilCoa, I heard McDo PhilCoa has officially “signed off.” I wanted to cry, man. I wasn’t that heartbroken when ChoKiss closed because I barely went there anyway (it was too expensive for me). But McDo? In PhilCoa? My heaaaaarttttt!!! 😭😭😭

What’s MagicJack?

Nope. House phones are already a “boomer” thing on this side of the world.

Sure.
What was the most expensive restaurant you’ve ever eaten at?
I don’t recall. I think all restaurants are expensive.

Are you nice to everyone, even people you don’t like?

I doodle shit on my notebook.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you have mini-blinds in your house?
Nope.
Do you rent your home or do you own it?
I rent.
What is your favourite song right now?
Hmm. Probably “3 Lefts = 1 Right” by Public Places. I don’t get it, but I like the sound of it.
Their song “Free” is also dope. The MV is weird, but the song itself is absolute ear candy.
Do you use Firefox?
Yep.
