forced choices

I remember my college professor, Sir Bob's (he's now Dr. Bob PhD) habit of asking us "analytical questions" as part of our discussions in psychology, theories of personalities or basic psych theories classes that he used to teach us...it's simple really but it's so difficult for us to give honest or straight answers for most of his questions without us of course divulging or exposing our true selves...haha thats the thing! it's a matter of honesty and trust among classmates/blockmates...and learning from each other in the process...

and one of his fave are his "forced choices"...he would ask you to choose...between 2 options...and you JUST HAVE TO...no ifs or buts...no looking into the motives or consequences...the most honest and spontaneous answers are the accepted ones...

these are usually what we psychos barkadas mostly talk about...and we would expect such "forced choice" questions from Sir Bob whenever he joins us in our inuman sessions haha...

and so...I was browsing through the multiply...and for the past few weeks i've been seeing this "survey" being answered by my kids...and this piqued my interest - esp the few questions and made me recall of Sir Bob's habit and our "laglagan moments" during our psychos inuman sessions...

so here it thought: (I edited few of the items in the "survey")

Which is more difficult:
To let go everything or forget what
happened?

Would you rather shout to the world and show that you're angry or quietly isolate yourself and your animosity?

Would you rather know when you're about to leave this earth or go on living as carefree as you've been doing?

If you knew about your "time limit" on earth...would you tell someone else or not?


Would you give 100 wishes for the world or spend 3 wishes for yourself?

Would you rather have...a person's love...or a person's trust?

Would you rather stay a friend or befriend someone new?

Would you rather be naive and afraid or ruthless and brave?

Would you sleep and have a dreamless sleep or stay awake and perpetually daydream?

Which is more difficult for you...telling someone you love them or telling them that you don't/cant love them back?

Hirap ba? haha kaya di ko sinagutan eh...akin na lang yun haha

melting in the heat


You know that it's really March in the calendar...
it's blistering hot during this month!
I can not recall a Holy Week celebration wherein it rained...can you?


You know that it's the summer season once again in this side of the world...
longer days...sunnier skies...drier atmosphere...no wind...
perspiration blotting your upper lip despite the air conditioning in your office...
if only we can report for work in a string bikini
haha


I so want to dive into the next body of water
and drench myself for days...weeks...months even...
haha such an exaggeration huh


Unfortunately...unlike the rest of the population in school...
and like the rest of the workforce...
we don't have a long summer vacation...
add to that we have Saturday work
haha


If only the beach is a stone's throw away from the office...
I would have a tan by now...
(Like my color is not that dark yet)


That reminds me...
we have a swiming pool in school...
I guess that would work
haha



still haven't decided


still haven't decided what kind of posts I'll be placing here...

it could be reviews...movies...restos...but i don't usually go out that much...
hmmmm...

it could be links to other sites I go to whenever I'm online...hey! it shows how many idle time I have huh...that's not good hehe

it could be music reviews...yikes! and here I say am not a music expert...tsktsk...

it could be a montage of photos...ever since I got my digicam...I've snapping away...unfortunately I am mostly not in the pics I take haha...

hmmmm

or even just posts of funny youtube vids...
that's a lot...ken lee...will ferell's landlord...

still don't know really...

maybe whatever strikes my fancy huh...

i can not name that tune

a lot of my friends know by now...
that I am not a music expert...
ok fine I listen to music...and I have enough audio cd's
and downloaded mp3s in both my office and home pc...
though I hardly can enumerate the music genres I do listen to...

I even can't tell which is which...
I know I listen to...love songs...slow songs...r&b...dance tunes...
jazz...80s music...bossa nova...standards...OPM...some alternative and
rock bands...
huwow! i listen to alot huh...

Though I hardly know or remember song titles and singers...
I watch gigs from time to time...
I listen to my friends' artist recommendations...

Though you know what's weird... I usually like songs and add them to my current playlist
even after months that it has been released and played in the radio or the US...
so you can just imagine some of the songs that are currently in my playlist...
but have long been popular...
as in months ago...



I told you...
I have a weird taste in music
haha
