Questions Time:

  1. Why did you start blogging? I love to talk and tell stories but most of all, when my days go bad, I have no one to complain to. I used to complain to my mom but we’ll just fight. I’m tired of fighting.
  2. What tips have you learned while blogging? Read read read as well as comment comment comment! If you don’t, no one will follow or read what you write. That and don’t go tag-crazy. Stick to <15 tags.
  3. What/who inspires you? Things that inspire me are books, and reading other bloggers’ posts. Sometimes when I read something, anything, ideas would pop into my head.
  4. What is your favorite meal/food item? I really like Subway sandwiches or other submarine sandwiches.
  5. What is ideal day for you? Wake up, breakfast, work, lunch, dinner, TV, sleep.
  6. If you could talk to someone famous who would it be and why? Hmm, that is a good question.
  7. What makes you laugh? Watching sitcom, not much make me laugh. I live with my mom so I kind of have to be immune to laughter.
  8. Where do you see yourself in five year’s time? Five years, that’s 2020. I see myself in a loft-style apartment in another state with a steady job and faraway from my mom.
  9. What are your passions in life? My passion? It used to be singing but now it’s writing.
  10. What major saying or moto do you live by? There’s always tomorrow. 🙂
  11. What advice would you give to someone starting out in the blogging world?  The same as what I wrote for #2.

11 Random Facts:

  1. I learned to play the piano and guitar when I was in 10th grade. I quit guitar after one lesson because my tiny DSCF9752fingers couldn’t reach the strings. Piano, if I have a chance, I’d like to play it again.
  2. I like music from 90’s and early 2000’s. At the moment, my favorite song is Slice by Five for Fighting.
  3. I used to hate taking pictures but now I’m addicted to it.
  4. Because of my bone disorder, I only grew 5-inches from when I was 10. 😦
  5. I love to keep things organized though I hate cleaning.
  6. I’m a major procrastinator. I often wait until the last minute to do anything even though my heart is dead set on completing the task early.
  7. I absolutely do NOT know how to write a happy ending though I’m working on it.
  8. My favorite color is lavender.
  9. Sometimes, I get angry at people stating the obvious.
  10. If I can go anywhere, I’d go to Europe.
