Answers:

  1. It was unusual one actually. We lived sa Taytay, pero sa Pasig nag-aaral ng elementary. Siguro since my late pops wanted a high quality education since pilot school yung pinasukan ko noon, despite being a public school. So, I was used to wake up at super early (like mga 3am) just to prepare and commute pa-school. May service naman, pero the toll of fatigue was there. That said, I never had any elementary friends and never experienced being a normal kid. After school, nakakulong lang sa room and minsan tumatakas sa library na walang ibang gumagamit. Was honed to be an ideal kid, robbed of the moment of being a kid. Ganun talaga siguro pag anak ng politiko. Just got some sense of freedom nung around Grade 6 na (2 years after daddy's passing); however it was too late since it is already a pre-teen phase and too late to socialise. That said, I am considering myself na late bloomer sa mga bagay-bagay given na 'yun ang background na nakasanayan ko. In a nutshell, I'm a full blown nerd.
  2. Well, onte lang naman.
      -For starters, 'yung tiwala na binigay sa akin ng isang tao (whether at work, personal, and in between)
      -When someone chose to spend time with me, since it kinds of connected sa first item. That thought alone na willing ka maupo or kahit naka tambay lang sa gilid and spend time to talk with me, I value it. Time is a kind of currency na 'di pwedeng bawiin or kitain ulit, it is more of deliberately choosing to spend it.
      -Lastly, are the people that I hold most dear (And that includes you too.). When someone or circustances wronged them, they can have my back.
      -FOOD. I love foods.
  3. Uhmm.. Sige haha.
    • -I don't want to be micromanaged.
      -I prefer to respect and honor the scheduled/plotted plan or activity, unless there is a extenuating circumstances that hinders the fulfillment of such.
      -Sometimes, I need an alone time, just to decompress. I would like that to be respected. That is my way to prevent burn out and completely shutting down. Magsasabi naman ako.
      -When I chose to trust you when I share something that I consider a secret, I decide to be vulnerable with you. Im asking not to weaponise that vulnerability back to me should a conflict arise. This goes on a two way street, so this boundary is reciprocated.
      **Heads-up, wont hold a brake here** No pre-marital sex. I don't want that feeling of guilt after the deed, it was taxing and outright wrong. When we do it, we must be married na. And that was my intent in this dating journey we're having.
  4. Pet peeves...
    • -Make things clear. KISS.
      -PDA is okay, 'wag lang sobrang excessive or maala lingkis ahas na. Malagkit ako minsan, irritating lang sa pakiramdam haha
      -Related sa first item, be direct on what you want or need. Di po ako manghuhula.
  5. Comms... Same lang rin sa inyo. Pero this one is a bit organised lol
    • -Urgent and/or emergency, give me a phone call.
      -Non-verbal comms are appreciated rin. Asking to acknowledge the message within reasonable timeframe. If napansin mo naman siguro, I frequently checking you in.
      -Okay rin paminsan-minsan may call rin sana, whenever applicable naman. Its kind of sweet to hear a voice sometimes, lalo na when the situation hinders us to meet personally.
      -I'm not asking rin to send the morning, afternoon, and evening greetings. We aint kids no more.

Answers:

  1. Well, here we go. And to you, you are already expressing it, most probably di ka lang aware.
    • -Physical touch. The legal touch naman. Honestly, there was this one instance nung hinatid kita sa sakayan (Iyon ata 'yung bumili tayo ng donut sa Dunkin) and you hold my arm for a few seconds, and I love it. And it is pretty obvious naman na siguro ito.
      -Acts of Service. I would like to help you whenever I can to lighthen the load, from the smallest up to the significant ones (e.g. holding your ecobag-- sorry na if mali 'yung term, that such things)
      -Quality Time. Self explanatory naman siguro ito. That's why I always ask you to meet every Saturday kahit ihatid ka lang pauwi. Kahit saglit lang iyon.
      -Receiving Gifts. The suhol, lol. And I appreciate that you are using the watch and I hope it serves you well.
      -Words of affirmation. Saka na, kapag pwede na. *wink*
  2. Hmm... Sorry, that I failed you, younger self to fulfill the dream of being a pilot. But, things ended up better that what we hoped for. Taking risks pays off.
  3. Well, happy for most of the time, pero before our conversation kanina, there was this feeling at the back of my head na things are going down south.-- at least this is cleared naman na (RCA rules) We can take things slow naman, a slow burn.
  4. Given the genetic history on both sides of my parents na may diabetes and heart related issues, I am kind of afraid na... you know.
