I am introverted, and to be honest, I am not a fan of either audio calls or video calls. LOL. I value my peace and quiet. Also, both make me feel quite anxious. If someone needs to tell me something, I hope they just message me.

Yes, I always enjoy the little things in life. A simple word of encouragement can bring me happiness and contentment. It can really improve my mood. And I always thank the Lord for every blessing I receive.

I do not eat fast food often. It is detrimental to my health, especially since I have been suffering from a chronic condition for many years. Fast food is high in sodium and contains unhealthy fats. I know someone who eats fast food almost daily and died of a heart attack.

To be honest, it depends. If my friends are real, loving, and caring, I'd choose them in a heartbeat. However, based on my experience, most of my friends no longer remember me, so I will choose money. LOL. Money is essential to me, especially since I am the only financial supporter of my family.

The minimum wage here is not enough. It can be challenging for a big family to survive, especially since prices continue to increase. People should consider having side hustles, such as online jobs.

I usually go to a private hospital. There is a long waiting time in public hospitals, and I had an unpleasant experience with one before. The nurses seemed not to care about the patients. However, if I am ever confined to a hospital, I will go to a public hospital, as it is more affordable. I do...

Yes, we receive more rainfall than in previous years. Maybe because of climate change. It causes severe floods in many areas. In fact, even the places that have never experienced flooding before are now experiencing severe flooding. It is, without a doubt, alarming.

Financial freedom is what I’d love to achieve someday. If ever that happens, I will be so happy and content. It is impossible to happen right now since I am the only one who helps my parents financially. My father goes to dialysis sessions three times a week.

I was enrolled in a Catholic school in college. Religion was part of the curriculum. I do not mind having such a subject in schools. However, just like @eLdavis said, some children come from different religious backgrounds, so I do not think schools should include it anymore or pressure kids to...

I believe time is more important than money. If time is not used effectively, there will be a lot of missed opportunities. You will also miss many important events.

I think online banking is generally safe. It is best to use banks that have been in the banking industry for many decades. However, it is still not a guarantee that you will be 100% safe. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated these days.

I only speak two languages fluently, Tagalog and English. I learned how to speak French and Japanese in college, but I am not fluent in either of them, that is for sure. If given a chance, I’d like to be fluent in Korean and Spanish.

I prefer tea over coffee. I make sure to drink 3 to 5 cups of tea every day because it contributes to my overall health and well-being. Nowadays, I rarely drink coffee, but when I do, I go for black or sugar-free coffee. Hehe

I have a long list of places I want to visit, including Switzerland, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland, and Taiwan. However, Switzerland has always been at the top of my list. The beautiful photos of the country make me really want to go there. The scenery looks like something from a postcard. Hehe.

I have always considered myself an introverted person. I prefer to spend most of my time alone at home, as interacting with others can be draining for me. While I can chat with people for a few minutes, I generally find it exhausting. However, I can be quite outgoing around the right people and...
