Today's questions!

Today's questions are from Divas with a purpose (15 Questions to ask yourself: Soul searching for your purpose). I'm beginning to like answering questions. These are so fun, I answer as honest as I can and the answers are always so surprising. So here's to another surprising day :D

1.      What’s the one thing I’ve always wanted to do? Consider what would need to happen in order for you to carry through with this long-sought wish. Make a plan and get started.
-Be an author. Write and publish a book, most probably fiction. 
-Fix the buildings in my secondary school (the windows, the doors - some of them can't even close or are missing! can you imagine that!) , add toilets (clean ones that are constantly supplied with water). My school just looks (notice the present tense) like it's from a horror/ghost movie.
-Travel to all the places I want to go (if possible, without a strict budget, but maybe sometimes try backpacking): Japan, every country in Europe (namely Germany, France, Italy, England, Ireland). And who better to travel with than my family and friends.
-Donate an ambulance to the hospital in my hometown because believe it or not, that government hospital only has 2-3 ambulances! And it covers up to an area that is 3-4 hours away by car. 

2.      If I could spend today doing whatever I desire, what would it be? Let your mind go. It could be something related to your work, your home, or simply a lark.
Haha! The lark thing is just hillarious! I guess I would lie in bed, enjoying being in the warmth of my blanket, hugging my toy cat and just being there for awhile before I have to get up. Then I might spend the day watching a movie or two. For food, I would like to eat whatever I am craving for that day.

3.      Where do I really want to live? What city and what type of residence? Perhaps you’re already fulfilling this passion and you do live in your true first choice. If not, ponder the possibilities of moving to a place you’ll love.
JAPAN! I would like to live there (if and when I master the language). I don't know which part yet though, but most probably Tokyo? It's hard to decide when you've never been there. Who knows I might like Kyoto or Osaka better. 
My second choice would be some European country. Staying in a little cottage somewhere far from the big cities but close enough to a grocery store if I needed to get something, have a small farm in the backyard and in the front, a garden. 

4.      Where would I like to visit? Perhaps you’re harboring a secret yearning to visit Washington, D.C. or Westminster Abbey in London. The streets of Hong Kong may be calling your name or even the Grand Canyon. Can you make it happen?
I would like to visit everywhere I could if possible. 

5.      What do I talk about doing but never do it? In a conversation, you might state something like, “For the last 10 years, I’ve really wanted to take a cruise to the Caribbean.”
Hmmm... I guess the answer would be: a) getting a boyfriend and b) writing my book

6.      What are the reasons I don’t go after my dreams? Explore within yourself why you haven’t pursued the life you want. Can you do something differently to help bring your dreams to life?

7.      How will I finish the sentence, “More than anything, before I die, I want to ___________?” Say it out loud and fill in the blank. Then, figure out a way to accomplish it.
...be at peace with myself. 
...love myself. 
...teach others to love themselves too. 

8.      What are the things in my life that I would like to get rid of? If you’re discovering you don’t love everything about your life, maybe it’s time to do some “housecleaning.” Make a list of the ways you’d like your life to change.
a) Stop with the negative thoughts
b) Be more physical/ Exercise more
c) Eat more fruits & vegetables

10.  How do I feel when I put all my effort into accomplishing one of my goals? Notice these feelings. You’ll no doubt want to experience them more often.
Tired. Honestly speaking, it feels very tiring. It feels like I'm caught in a rat race. Maybe I feel a little relief too, that all this is finally over. 

I guess this is all I'm going to answer (out of the 15 questions).
