Strange Questions Meme

Posted by on Dec 12, 2009 | 0 comments




I’m getting a little hooked on questions memes. For one, I don’t have to think much hehe..And I could simply write the truth and voila! I have a post..

Anyway, here’s an interesting one I found somewhere. Some questions sounds like you’re in a beauty contest or something lol! I won’t be tagging anyone but if you find the questions interesting, fee free to grab it and answer. I’d love to read your answers to this too.

Questions

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone?

No. I’d rather not. Why should I allow someone be on agony knowing I’ll be dead? On the other hand, if there is someone who hates me really badly and wants to see me die, I’ll probably tell them, at least somebody will be happy I won’t be around. Although, no one has come to hate me that much yet. :)

If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?

All things have their bad sides and I guess as long as there is an explicit warning of its possible fatal effects, why not if it could save lives too?

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

I would want to retain my 30-year old MIND. Dyusko! I’m trying to rid myself of excess fats nga so I wouldn’t want to have this body for the next 60 years of my life. And besides, even if I had a to-kill for body, what use would it be if I have a useless mind?

If at birth you could select the profession your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?

No way. I love what I’m doing now and I’d like my child to have the same happy experience in finding whatever profession she can be happy with. There are lots of people earning lots of moolah but they are unhappy. I’d much rather settle for something that can earn me just a decent income and enjoying it too rather than something that can earn me millions and make working daily an excruciating experience. So, I’d want my child make her own choices.

If you knew there would be a nuclear war in one week, what would do? (you can’t stop it)

I could do two things. One is to figure out how to survive it. I also have to learn, if I survive it how would it affect me? I mean, would I be grossly disfigured or what? If I’ll survive with only my torso intact, I think I’d much prefer not to survive.  The second thing, I’d do is party like there is no tomorrow. Do happy things, be with family.

Would you accept twenty years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you had to die at the end of the period?

Nope. Disappointments, sad things, well, I think these make life more special. Not that I like being unhappy, its simply like, to appreciate happiness you got to experience some sadness. I’d much rather go through life with its regular ups and downs. If there is happiness all the time, how could I even appreciate it if I don’t know what sadness feels like?

If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it?

Yes I would. When I commit, I commit. It would take a lot more than that to stop me from marrying someone I love.

Someone very close to you is in pain, paralyzed, and will die in a month. They beg you to give them poison so they that they can die. Would you?

I probably would. I can’t stand anyone I love suffer and if I was the one suffering I’d expect my loved ones to do the same. I know some are against this but I’d much rather see them in peace than see them in too much pain.

Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as your dinner guest? as a close friend? as a lover?

Close friend? My college buddies, Yese and Tins. We still are in touch but I just wish we are geographically close to each other. I haven’t seen both of them in years so I’d want to have them for dinner. As a lover? I always have one at dinner :P (Hi-ace) but since these are all hypothetical and I’m pretty sure Hi-ace is not looking over my shoulders right now and would unlikely read this (he’s awfully busy..), so I’d like to have Gong Yoo (that hot Korean actor!) or Jude Law (my idea of an ultimate hunk) for dinner.

What is the worst psychological torture you can imagine suffering? (it cannot involve any physical harm to you)?

Not having any means of communication and not having a computer, mobile phone and internet connection. Seriously, this would make me go nuts! Sure you can say I’m a total geek and I don’t even mind or care.

You and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. You know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses the button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. What do you think you would do?

Arrggh! What kind of questions are these anyhow? Ok since I started this.. Well, I’d probably figure out first if there is any way we could both get out of there alive. It’s worth a try anyway. If there is no way, then I’d press my button.

Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow?

If I have absolutely no choice or there is a phone check for me to cash out with maybe nine zeros on it . But seriously, just as I could just pay someone to mow the lawn, fix the gutter, I’d really prefer it if somebody else was doing the slaughtering. Or maybe I’d turn vegetarian..

For $20,000 would you go for 3 months without washing, brushing your teeth, and using deodorant? Assume you could not explain your reasons to anyone, and there would be no long-term effect on your career. (you are not choosing one, you would have to go without all three).

Ew! No sorry. I’d find other ways to earn that but please I really can’t stand not washing, brushing or using a deo for even a day. And that’s 3 months! It’ll surely be the end of me.

Which of these restrictions could you best tolerate: leaving the country permanently or never leaving the state in which you now live?

Leaving the country permanently. That is if and only if I will leave and go back to the Philippines. I love it here in Phnom Penh, but if I’ve got no choice but to leave, then …

If you could choose the sex and physical appearance of your soon-to-be-born child, would you do it?

No. My genes are fine as it is. No use meddling with it. And besides, Chinks turned out to be more wonderful than I’ve ever imagined. Hi-ace and I must be a good genetic match hehe.

If your friends and acquaintances were willing to bluntly tell you what they really think of you, would you want them to?

What?? They usually tell me what is wrong with me, I mean my friends. They constantly tell me I need to lose weight which is more often than I really want..

Would it disturb you much if, upon your death, your body were simply thrown into the woods and left to rot?

No. Really. Funerals are expensive and besides I’m dead so I couldn’t even give a hoot! I’d much prefer it if I be cremated or if that is still expensive well they can just throw me over a ravine.

Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

No. I’d much prefer that to be a surprise. Knowing that leaves the excitement out.

Would you be willing to give up all television for the next 5 years if it would induce someone to provide for 1,000 starving children in Indonesia?

I’m sure the time I spend watching TV would not really induce anyone to do such an altruistic mission since I am a nobody. But since the question has been asked, well, I don’t really watch much TV so stopping TV watching for the next 5 years would not really be difficult for me.
