If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

I would invite my dad because he passed away last year in March. I got to spend time with him a lot but I still wish he didn’t passed away this quick. I miss him. I think he would be so happy to eat my cooking.

Would you invite celebrities or friends and family?

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

To increase comfort in my daily life, I would live simple. Not spending too much money on anything, buy necessities that are on sale such as shampoo, soap, food, clothes that I need. I avoid clutter.

Do you like to live simple?

What are you most excited about for the future?

For the future, I’m most excited about painting, drawing and writing a book. These things have been on my mind since 2019. I want to finally get into the habit of writing daily and sketching. I’m a terrible artist but I don’t want that to stop me from creating art.

Do you do things you’re not good at but enjoy doing?

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

For the sake of harmony, I stay silent. Not sure what else I can do. If I had to let go of something maybe it’s social media. I wouldn’t have anything to do if I had to do that. Most of my time I spend surfing the web, reading and writing online. I especially enjoy shopping sites like Etsy, Shopee, WordPress, Tik Tok…

Would you ever go several days without social media?

Describe your most memorable vacation.

I’ve never had a vacation. But I do have a memorable memory of places I’ve been to. I got to say Salt Lake City, Utah was memorable. I had a lot of fun staying for three months and worked there for a short time. I enjoyed shopping at Wal-Mart and Smith’s supermarket. The weather was the best. I went there during winter around the time it almost stopped snowing.

How was your vacation?

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

I can’t say I’m an authority in any subject. I’m not really good at anything. I do have a college degree in cooking, though. I know basic cooking but can’t say I’m an expert. From my understanding to be an authority in a subject, that person has to know the subject very well. Cooking isn’t too difficult but it requires a chef to explain food science and there are food terms that professionals can explain the subject to some who are beginners. The term mise en place means “put in place.” Only students, chefs and French speakers know this term or some who work in a Western kitchen for a long time.

Can you say you’re an authority in a subject even though you don’t know everything about it?

What’s your definition of romantic?

Red roses come to my mind when I think of the word romantic. My definition of romantic are a couple in love, a relationship, two people spending time together at a candlelight dinner, Valentine’s day and etc.

Romantic is intimacy between the two people who are in love for the first time or married and still in love.

Have you ever experienced romance?

How do you express your gratitude?

Here are examples of how I express my gratitude: I show my appreciation by doing the little things like buying them a snack, saying thank you, sending a thoughtful message and giving a phone call.

The reason I said buy a snack for the person who did something for me is so they know I’m grateful for them helping me and I show them that I’m thankful. It’s a little gift to show them I think about them.

When I’m grateful, I always say thank you to them that help me.

My aunt allowed me to stay at her house for five months and she prepared my breakfast for me everyday before I move. I send her messages and call her sometimes asking how she was doing. She send me packages of my stuff and paid for all shipping. I’m grateful for her actions.

How do you show appreciation to someone who did something for you?

What makes a teacher great?

A teacher’s patience and passion for teaching makes a teacher great. I used to teach English to a four year old that was struggling. My employer who has a degree in teaching didn’t have much patience for the little boy. She asked me to give him close attention and I did. He understood my teaching. Teachers have to repeat themselves a lot. I didn’t mind having to repeat myself often. As long as it helped the students to understand and remember English vocabulary.

I was not a real teacher when I taught children. I just wanted to try the job, so maybe I could have changed my career. I didn’t have a degree in teaching. Most places will not hire someone who is inexperienced in teaching. I didn’t have experience in teaching. I just wanted to try what it was like, so my employer gave me a chance. I worked at that job for two months. The students really like the game I had them play. I actually enjoy that teaching job. The children had fun trying to speak English to me and it helped them.

Do you enjoy teaching children? Are you an experienced teacher or you simply just teach for fun?

Have you ever had surgery? What for?

In my life I’ve never had a surgery. I’m grateful that I have a decent health. But I do go to the hospital for my psychosis medication. I started having psychosis in 2013.

Do you ever had surgery or do you have mental health problems like depression?
