I don't think I can ever tell you my name haha probably if i'd just live in a box afterwards... you might get disappointed with my poem, not that it's about you or anything it's just...ugh it's hard to explain sorry - apparently second poem anon, not a close friend

Aw come on, please? I'm really curious. About your poem, especially. I'd really love to see it! :)
Okay look, when you're ready, send your poem here: http://ijaye.tumblr.com/submit (If you aren't logged in sa tumblr you can submit anonymously) I'll never publish it, I'll just keep it in my inbox :)

What's your favorite Murakami book, Apple? :> I totally agree with you on people reading a Murakami book once in their life (but then he is my favorite author, so hello bias). :)

My personal favorite is South of the Border, West of the Sun! :) I love the tangible sadness of it.

Can you recommend anything to read?

Trivia: I am wondering if I will ever develop a skill of recommending books based on people's personalities. I'd need to be a good judge of character and have an impressive mental library of book titles.
For now, here are some books I am biased for:
YA: The Fault in Our Stars/Looking for Alaska
YA series: The Hunger Games
Hist. Fiction: The Book Thief
Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird
Lesser-known classics: Rebecca (by Daphne du Maurier)
Lastly, there are many genres I could put Murakami in (Contemporary, Asian Lit, Translated books, lalala) but I think everyone should read a Murakami book once in their life, no matter what their favorite genre is. And although it isn't my favorite, I'd recommend Norwegian Wood because it's what people often favor.

"Someone saying the wrong thing." whoaaaa take it easy there missy. That begs the question what is wrong? Or what is your definition of wrong? And if so, does the world have to work around your definition? Should it? How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?

42. The answer is 42.

Have you ever loved someone you have not met?

That's interesting. I don't believe I ever have :)

Name someone you wish never slipped through your fingers?

Although I now know we aren't right for each other, I still resent the way I lost a great love years before. He has moved on and is happy now, so I won't name him out here :)

Gabi na, matulog ka na raw hahahaha :*

Natulog na ko before you sent me this. Haha. Bakit may 'raw'? Bakit may :*? Sino ka? :))

that other poem anon is an imposter!! D: I'm your first (and ONLY) poem anon, okay. Ya got that? :)))) HAHA.

oh my gosh what is going on here!
You aren't by any chance confusing poem anon with prompt anon?? I mean, whoever you are.. I'm confused, just tell me who you (both????) are na kasi :))))

poem anon / not a close friend here. I'll probably do it someday if 1) my poem is nice enough to show to you and 2) if writing/poetry comes into passing and I "coincidentally" have a copy of the said poem haha

ano ba yaaan. I am even more curious now. At least tell me who you are? Hahaha. Or just send me the poem without telling me who you are (I don't know how you'd do that, but hey, let's be creative). But give me something because I'm so intrigued~

What's your pre-writing ritual? :)

This is a cool question! And I wish I had a cool answer, but I don't. Haha. In my most heartfelt works, the only thing I do is submerge myself in feelings. For my 365 updates, I reread my Twitter to check how I've been feeling the past days.

What is the most played song in your music library?

Woah. Apparently, it's "Every Time You Go" by Release the Sunbird. Closely followed by "The Last Time" by T. Swift and Gary Lightbody.

If I wrote a poem and I gave it to you will you consider it weird? - not a close friend

Hello! If I knew you were a writer and/or we have some kind of writing relationship (the topic of writing has come up between us, even just in passing), or if there's a special totally non-creepy reason for your wanting to show me your poem, then I don't think it'd be weird! :)
ex. a guy I just met the night before showed me a poem that was obviously about me, and it was obviously him making a move on me so... no. Don't do that.
EDIT: Not to say that I don't find poems to be wonderful tokens of admiration; it was just creepy because I had just met the guy and I never even asked to see his damn poem. He was just a bad case, don't be afraid to write your crush a poem, anon. Haha.
And I'm particularly curious now that you've brought this up. Haha.

dudeparetsong kamusta naman ang mga ibang tula?

Oh my gosh, I was just staring at the remaining prompts in the inbox right now and afdhgfhjhlk I feel bad because I haven't attempted them yet. Poetry is such a struggle for me most days. I'll get to them D:

who are the most ticklish persons you know?

That's a toughie one. I don't really know. I can't seem to bring to mind a list of my ticklish friends. I guess I don't pay attention because I don't like the business of tickling.

Always with you even if I can't really be there >:D<

My, my. Are we finding new places to be sweet? Hahaha. >:D<

I like the way your duga anon speaks. :)) HELLO, DUGA. :)) Hahahahahahaha!

Nagulat ako, pero ang cute. Hahaha

Could you publish the prompts when you've done them already PLEASE. :)) I think they're pretty nice prompts and I wanna do them too someday. I forgot them kasi. :)) Also, which one are you working on first? :>

HAHA. Who are you, by the way?? I'm keeping the prompts in my questions inbox for now because I wanted to answer them with the link to the published poems. I haven't decided yet, I'll let my fingers choose :D

Duga mo dude. :)) Magsulat ka na muna bago ka bigyan ng bagong prompts. :)) and also... I am excited to see them. 8D

huwaaaaaaaaat D:

What's one of your favorite 'little things' to enjoy in life?

Besides a good and smart conversation, I love a good after-party/after-hangout feeling. When I'm all tired out and I'm either wrapping up the day/night with friends or making my way home, and every muscle in my body is sighing, "Well, damn. That was really fun."

let's say you have the option of torturing someone for as long as you like without anyone knowing, who would it be, why, and how will you torture him/her?

I'm actually thinking really hard about this one :)) As of typing, I don't know my answer. But if I should ever think of the right person to torture and how, I probably wouldn't tell anyone (so much less publish it on the Internet) because it would probably be horrific.

An anonymous hug coz im too shy. >:D<

I kinda needed a hug right about now. It would have been great to know who you were, but this is totally appreciated nonetheless >:D<

Which celebrities do you suspect are really aliens walking amongst us?

Nicki Minaj? or Miranda Kerr, on the opposite side of the spectrum (That perfection isn't humanly possible)

89, 94, and 121! Especially 121. :D

Ahh, 89 and 94 are so close to my heart! :) And I'm glad you liked 121 a lot, because I thought it was kind of off. Thank you so much <3

The notes on 365 are very well-written! You have the right words and you have your own voice, heehee

That's really sweet, thank you so much! :) Do you have a favorite "story"? (This is for my betterment, ahihi)

When was the last time you hugged someone?

My mom hugged me right before we took a nap this afternoon. ahihi.

What's one thing you hate sharing?

Space. My desk, my bed, my corner of the room. asdfhjklfghj
