Here are my answers to prompts #10-12.

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

I was never very sentimental as a child, unlike the way I am now. I wasn’t exactly the master of patience as a child. The only thing that could hold my attention was a jigsaw puzzle and I remember even from a young age, I was going for the 500-1000 pieces puzzles. I don’t know what happened to those as I wasn’t attached to any of the puzzles.

The thing I was most attached to might had been a baby blanket. Even now, I have this weird habit of holding a blanket to my face while I sleep. There’s something comforting about a soft and fuzzy baby blanket that tends to put me at ease. I’m the female version of Linus from Charlie Brown when it comes to my blankets.

I don’t know what happened to the blankets from my childhood, though. I believe someone threw them away as everyone had attempted to get me to quit one time or another but no success because these days, I am sleeping with a pink blanket with my name on it.

Come up with a crazy business idea.

Any business idea is a crazy idea until it earns a profit. When I was unemployed for 4 months in 2018, I came up with this crazy idea of start a virtual business. “Be an entrepreneur,” I dreamed, “be financially independent.”

One of my crazy yet practical business idea was to start a virtual bookkeeping business where I manage clients’ books through Quickbooks Online, which I was certify at the time. Mom shot it down at once when I told her just as she shot down my dream to become a writer. “Do you know how hard it is to start a business?” She said. “Get a real job.”

Although I’ve given up getting recertified in Quickbooks, I feel the dream is still there even though I know it’s hard, especially the first few years of business and there’s a lot of pressure. I think the real dream there is to become financially independent.

What snack would you eat right now?

I was never a “snack” person. I feel snacks interrupts the flow of the day. Once in a while, though, I like to toss a couple of malted chocolate balls into my mouth to satiate my craving for chocolate. I buy it bulk and keep a jar in the door of the refrigerator.
