Everyone Deserves a Chance to Fly

Tag, you’re it!

Rule 1- Post the rules

Rule 2- Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones

Rule 3- Tag 11 people and link them to your post

Rule 4- Let them know you’ve tagged them

1. Which first name would you have given to yourself if you could’ve picked?

Hmph…technically speaking, I did in fact pick my English first name when I was little because I hated my Chinese name so much. But if I were to choose again, I’d pick Tessa. 

2. Name 3 things about yourself that you wouldn’t change for the world.

Unabashed love of Glee, Kurt Hummel & Chris Colfer; enthusiasm to try new things; general all-round geekiness. 

3. You get one million dollars to spend, only rule is you can’t spend it on yourself. What do you do with it?

Pay off my sister’s student loan debt; buy my parents a nice requirement home; send a bunch of kids in my neighbourhood from low income families to sports camps for the summer 

4. Which super power would you like to possess and why?

Mind reading. I am terrible at deciphering what people say and what they actually mean when they say it. I’m also terrible at reading body language. Maybe this will help me connect better with people? I dunno… 

5. If you could rule the world, what’s the first thing you would do?

Declare Klaine the Royal Couple of the world. 

6. We all know the countries we live in can be pretty crappy, but let’s stay positive. Name three things you like about the country/place you live in.

It was a real shock moving from a city of 2 million people to a small city of 100,000 people, but there are nice things about it: 1- Don’t need to make reservations for restaurants; 2 - Cheaper public parking; 3 - It doesn’t take forever to run errands because everything is close by. 

7. Describe your favorite piece of clothing in your closet.

A tan, corduroy jacket with sleeves turned up. Cuff of the turned up sleeve is in a nice tan and white checkered pattern.

8. Do want/plan to have children one day? Why or why not?

Definitely. Five years ago I don’t think I would have wanted to have kids. Now that I’ve grown up a little (I hope), I’m a bit more prepared for it. Raising a human being is a huge responsibility, but I don’t think there is anything more incredible than experience the world through your own child’s eyes. 

9. Favorite game you used to play as a child? Favorite game you like to play now?

When I was a kid, I used to line my stuffed animals up and play teacher. Now I like to play Scrabble. 

10. What’s your motto?

We must treat others as we wish others to treat us.

11. If you were a teacher, which subject would you teach and why?

History. Without a doubt. How do we understand where we are now if we have no clue where humanity has been in the past? But more specifically, the history of migration because migrants are such an interesting, resilient group of people across time and space. 

My Questions: 

1. Where do you see yourself living 5 years from now? 
2. Who was the most influential adult figure (not including your parents) in your life when you were a child?
3. Do you believe in reincarnation?
4. Are you still friends with your childhood best friend now?
5. What’s your biggest best peeve?
6. What was your favorite vacation?
7. If you could travel back in time and in place, which time period and place would you travel back to and why?
8. Did you ever wish you had another sibling? Why/why not?
9. Have you ever considered legally changing your name?
10. If you were offered eternal life, would you take it? Why?
11. If you could choose between unlimited travel to any place in the world, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the moon, which would you choose and why?  

On vacation! Boo ya!

Heading off to San Juan, Puerto Rico for 10 days. See you after the vacation! Will try to bring back some Ricky Martin!

Happy Mothers’ Day to all you moms and moms-to-be!

“Daddy? Baba?”

Kurt and Blaine turned around at the sound of their 10 year-old daughter’s voice. The small pyjama-clad girl stood in entrance to the living room. She had a small canvas bag slung over her shoulder, and she was carrying a large flat box in front of her.

Kurt smiled at the sight of his angelic daughter. “Good morning, Ava. What are you doing up so early? It’s only 6:30. You can sleep for another hour, you know.”

“It’s okay. I was awake anyway,” Ava said cheerfully. “I have something for you.”
