Congenial playwright Dean got this one from speculative writer Banzai Cat and told myself, "I could give it a try!" So i asked him to INTERVIEW ME. It felt like I was one of those candidates in a beauty pageant LOL (I can dream, can't I?). This is fun really. The following are the questions Dean asked me.
- Worldwide, the education system suddenly gets revamped - by you! What 3 books would you make required reading for everyone under the age of 18? a. The Bible b. A Life Like Mine c. Under 18: Knowing Your Rights
- Coffee is important, right? But one day, all the tea and coffee in the world vanish. What would get you through the day?
Awww… what??? No coffee?? How could I get through the day?? Ahh… Papsie and the kids! - If, at this very moment, you could find yourself front row and center at any living band or musical performer's concert, which or who would it be? Would you sing along?
I would like to sing along with SANTANA but he has to teach me the lyrics first, and he has to be patient! I love his music but most of them are not in English. - What did you want to be when you grew up, when you were a little girl?
A journalist… you are making me sad, I did not become a journalist. - What are the most important or influential words anyone said to you?
"Kaya mo ‘yan! Ikaw pa!" from Papsie.
Here are The Official Interview Game Rules:
- If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying "interview me."
- I will respond by asking you five questions - each person’s will be different.
- You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
- You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. If you don’t have a blog, I will still ask you 5 unique questions and you can post your answers here.

Hi Bing. While I would like to say "Interview me", and am actually intrigued as to what questions you will come up with, I am afraid I would probably just be able to go as far as to answer your questions. I don't think I will be able to post my replies in my blog as well as invite others to let me interview them because I can already see it will be time-intensive (having to prepare a set of five questions for each person who agrees to be interviewed), and I don't know if I am willing to commit to that.
This is an interesting concept, however, and I'm looking forward to reading other people's answers in their blogs.
I see you've added me to your links and I thank you. Thank you also for answering my question about your template. I was able to find it soon after posting my question to you. I have another question though. How did you change the size of the font in the body of your blog? My father-in-law suffers from MD (Macular Disorder) and can't see too well. I would like to change the font size in his blog to the largest one possible.
You might want to check his blog out at http://irawollen.blogspot.com.
Please give me specific instructions when it comes to tweaking the template to change the font size. Imagine yourself talking to a kindergarten student, okay?
Interview me! =)

Hi Bing. This interview is quite revelatory and getting to know you better. I can say "interview me" too. More power.
Hi Renee,
In the template, you can experiment with the font-size, aside from the many other contents. For example, in the body, you will see this:
font: x-small Georgia, Serif ---- > you can change this to x-large Georgia, Serif
Another example will be this:
#blog-title {
margin: 0 0 .25em
font-size: 270% ------ > you can always change by increasing or decreasing
font-weight: normal; ----- > you can always change to light or bold
this is the best I could share, I just experimented with my blog, too, asking info from nephews who are geeks.

Here is for you Angelo:
1. You were wed year 2003, right? What is your opinion on “seven-year itch”?
2. As a parent (and a successful one) who has plans for your kids, will you choose to let them follow the course they wanted to pursue, or impose what you desire for them? Why?
3. What do you plan to do when you retire as an economist/IT exec? Will you focus more on writing?
4. How will you defend yourself if you were given a memorandum one day forcing your resignation because your services are no longer of use to them?
5. Is blogging a challenge to you?
Here's your take, Major Tom:
1. Expound on being a Y.B. Masdal.
2. What prompted you to have “Where Now is the Citizen on Mars?” as blog title?
3. What political issue stimulated your mind the most?
4. Who is Major Tom 10 years from now?
5. If you are an RP diplomat to Iraq, how will you deal with complaints on working condition and hours that violated the OFWs’ contracts?
Great answers, Bing! thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Bing. I can't wait to work on my stepdad's template now. ;)
And I appreciate the specific examples you gave, which makes it a lot easier for me.
Thanks again!
interview me.
ok, here is for you, digitalfilipino!
1. What do you think would be the best way to preserve culture and ethos?
2. How do you think information superhighway could help uplift the Philippine economy?
3. In your own opinion, what makes a woman ‘complete’?
4. What is your definition of feminist?
5. Is it beneficial to be thin, and that would make a woman live longer?
I came over from Dean's blog as soon as I read the excerpt from your interview! I LOVE your answer to the last question. I burst out laughing as soon as I saw it, because that's such a common phrase - and yet it makes you buck up when they're said by someone who believes in you.
I guess that's the point, right Bing? That it's not so much what is said as WHO says it ... and even if all s/he says is "Kaya mo 'yan, ikaw pa!" - somehow it makes you believe that yeah, kaya mo nga yan.
right, rei! very right!
INTERVIEW ME... :D
Your 5 questions, Sol:
1. As a mother who works abroad, how will your child/ren be reared into responsible individual/s when undeniably mothers play a vital role in value formation?
2. If the president of the Philippines will ask you how to make the excellent teachers stay, what would be your answer?
3. What could be the reason/s of teacher shortages in America considering that it is a first world country?
4. You were born in a country where woman suffrage is prohibited, how would you make your voice be heard?
5. You learned that one of your best friends is referred to as one of those detestable bloggers, what would you do?
Good Luck and have a nice day!
