Just Another Survey

After already having given the Scratch-Off Challenge I came across another interesting survey of sorts on this here blog. I'm going to do my best to write the answers with as much clarity and detail as possible so as not to miss out on any given essentials. And here we go...!


WHAT ARE YOUR THREE GREATEST FEARS?
I hate how the survey begins by asking me my three fears but I suppose I have no other choice but to answer it. Truthfully too... Aside from God, who I love and respect also, my three greatest fears are as follows in no particular order:

1. I'm afraid of heights. I wouldn't mind the everyday two- or three-storied houses but that's as high as I can manage. Anything higher than that and I'd probably have to lie down on my belly to catch a glimpse down below.

2. I'm afraid of flying cockroaches. This doesn't necessarily imply that I'm afraid of insects and all the other creepy crawlies in general. It's just that I get goose bumps everytime I see a bloody cockroach take off; especially when I'm coming to destroy them with my slipper!

3. I'm afraid of my mother's missed calls. Perhaps the greatest fear known to many an outgoing teenager is the more-than-one missed call received from the one they call "Mother." It's just so dreary to think your mum might be hell-bent on exacting a punishment on you for not answering her calls. Even when I'm not out with friends or partying here and there it still freaks me out to see missed calls because I carelessly left my phone on silent mode.

WHAT ARE FOUR THINGS YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
I'm going to assume this part of the survey refers to that soulmate I might find some day in my life. One of the ideal traits of my ideal girl would definitely have to be an appreciation for all things exquisite and fine. I'm thinking of a girl who dresses neatly, wears highborn clothing, enjoys fine-dining and formal parties, and possesses that "sass" a lot of guys love in a girl. A lady is what I'm asking. I wouldn't mind if her lady-self had a wee bit of arrogance, pride, and an upper-class attitude. But too much of those and she would just cross the line. The kind I find ideal is one who is modest and humble on the inside but richly and sophisticated on the outside.

Secondly, I'd love a lady who can maintain an upper-class vibe in front of others but who isn't afraid to explore all the wonderful fantasies in bed. Think, a tame cat outside of the house but a wild tigress in bed. To put it simply: complete sexual gratification in one package.

Thirdly, a pretty face. I know most people love their better halves for their personality but it isn't wrong to want sweet candy in an attractive wrapper. I'm not going to nitpick on any of her other womanly features but I would want a face with deep, engaging eyes, and lips in which I could just dive deep into. Sorry for getting carried away but I would want my cat-and-tigress to have a face that would melt my heart everytime I see it.

This last trait might be asking a bit too much but I want a woman who concerns herself more with the nurturing of the house and leave the breadwinning to me. I'm not asking for uncompromised obedience, I'm asking for an old-fashioned woman who hasn't let the times or the society change her. A woman who understands she's a woman and plays the part.

WHAT'S YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION?
After reading the above preferences I think you'd find this a no-brainer. But in case some of you might be wondering whether I'm bi-curious or have had any sort of sexual relations with a man then my answer would be, "No, I haven't. And, God willing, I never will. Not even if I'm getting paid."

WHAT'S YOUR HEIGHT?
Eh... I'm 5'7" to 5'8" tall. Yeah, I'm shorter than the average male height and I'm the short one, save for one or two others, among my peers. Both men and women have called me short but I feel I'm perfect for my age. Though a problem sometimes, I get by knowing that I still have seven more years to let my growth hormones increase me an inch or two (or three). And the fact that shorter people gain muscle mass faster than taller ones and kick-ass in a one-on-one encounter are just some of the reasons that help me sleep at night.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTE?
This was actually very difficult to fill in but in the end I had to choose one quote above all.

"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." - J.R.R. Tolkien

WHAT'S YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP STATUS?
Single and ready to mingle.

WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARENTS?
I love my parents and cannot contemplate to imagine a world without them. If there is one thing I am certain, above all else, that God has blessed me with is that He has given me a hardworking father and a loving mother. I get along well with both my parents and love and respect them equally. I admire my father for working till late at night just to ensure his children receive a good education, three meals a day, and a roof above their heads. I admire my mother for her enthusiasm and blind love for her children. She would stop whatever she's doing if she finds her children distressed or in pain. She would spend hours sitting beside her children during fevers. All the while she would also play the part of the sister we never had. A family of sons, my mother is both my mother and my older sister. She would laugh at playful jests with us and try to beat our highscore on Angry Birds while not compromising her motherly authority. My father, on the other hand, is not just my father but also my guardian-protector, ever watchful of his sons. He would provide moral and financial help whenever needed and always felt the need to spoil his sons every week with gifts or a family night out.

WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SIBLINGS?
I don't have a sister and I'm the oldest of three brothers. My two brothers - one being two years younger than me and the other nine years younger -  are to me as the moon and sun are to Earth. I enjoy the company of my middle-brother and frequently engage in bonding sessions like playing a video-game together or smoking shisha/cigarettes in the many cafes dotted throughout the city. Though I don't spend much time with my younger brother his presence is still an essential part of my everyday life. Whenever he's not around the house seems gloomy. He brims with radiance and loud happines - extremely loud happiness. His constant screaming - whether it is because he lost at a video-game, or does not like the food at his plate - is a fundamental addition to the "peace" in the house.

DO YOU AND YOUR LAST EX HATE EACH OTHER?
Actually, no. We're still in touch and are actually better friends than we'd ever hoped to be. I guess a wrong does make a right and the break-up may have actually happened for the better.

HAVE YOU EVER RECEIVED A "GOOD MORNING" OR A "GOOD NIGHT" TEXT?
As a matter of fact I've never received one. I did receive a "good afternoon" text once, though.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET READY IN THE MORNING?
An hour, give or take, during school/workdays and just under twenty minutes during weekends.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR MUSIC LOUD OR AT A REASONABLE LEVEL?
A reasonable level, please.

DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX YOU CAN TELL EVERYTHING TO?
No.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU WEAR A FAKE SMILE?
Not that often but I mostly fake a smile whenever someone new is trying to befriend me.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HUGGED SOMEONE?
Last Eid.

IS THERE ANYONE YOU TRUST EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULD NOT?
Nope.

ANY STRANGE PHOBIAS?
Luposlipaphobia - fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.


DO YOU PREFER BEING BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
It doesn't matter where I stand, the camera still loves me.

WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ?
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, book one in the series A Song of Ice and Fire.
