1. What is the sweetest thing you've ever done for someone else?
hm... there was this birthday surprise this year I wrote about this June, this for my bestie C.
Then there was another one in 2017 for my other bestie P. She likes to go on trips over her birthday, and we made plans to be in Tokyo. C did not come with us. Well. C is supposed to be the Japanese guru (studied in Japan, now has a Japanese language school in town) so I had to rely on my own shoddy Japanese. I found a "night time cake shop" in Shinjuku, and communicated in LINE about arranging for a cake, with message plate with her name (yes, she likes to refer to herself as Ms. P). So after dinner, on her birthday date, we meandered listlessly (no, I knew full well where I was going. I memorized the bloody map) and led her to the cakeshop in question. I said "hey, let's look at cakes!" and in we went. "hey! These look nice. OH! There's already a cake for you!" and she was all "huh????????????" LOL

2. What do you wish people would do for you?
Just face me with your full intelligence. In other words. Don't play dumb. You can't imagine this one colleague was trying to skiv off of work that the Boss asked her specifically, and when I went to talk to her, she was all "oh? what? so what do I have to do?"
I just side-eyed her and said "you are free to call the boss directly and ask him. I've done my part. You follow up. Thanks."

3. What are your simplest pleasures?
Lying in bed, with the dogs (or the cats, if they feel like) cozying up to me.

4. What makes you feel all warm & fuzzy?
I may always say Frankie is a crazy dog, but when he's not crazy, his face just looks so sweet LOL.

5. How do you define love?
Think about when kids love something. They destroy it. I say love also needs a hefty amount of respect with it.

1. What did you once dislike but now find pleasurable?
Coming to think of it, as a kid I didn't really like cheese. Now? Give me ALL THE CHEESE!

2. When did you last prove to be adaptable?
I think I'm proving to be that every single day.

3. Who’s especially adorable?
Why, Frankie, of course!

4. Among your possessions, what’s especially durable?
My car. It's close to 17 years I think.  After that, this MacBook Air I'm writing on right now, 12 years maybe.

5. Among stuff you ate this week, what was the most delectable?
Dad made a particularly good cucumber salad in yoghurt and dill. Good stuff. I had seconds and thirds... just that salad.
