Funny Question No. 12. What was the worst punishment you received at school?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I remember Tommy Tigulo, our English Teacher when I was in my first year of high school. He was kind of abusive because he’ll just throw the blackboard eraser your head if in case he suspects you of being rowdy in class.  I was not the rebel type then so it was very humiliating for me.  

Funny Question No. 11. What, if anything, have you ever re-gifted?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


No. I have few friends and I don’t really encourage gift giving.  It’ll just ruin their respective budgets.  OFWs have responsibilities back home and asking gifts are just an imposition.  There are far more important things in this world.  So, I hardly receive gifts hence, I can’t re-gift.

Funny Question No. 10. What is your favorite cereal?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


None. I’m a full blooded Asian. I can live without cereals but can’t without rice.

Funny Question No. 9. What is the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I try to read novels during weekends but I don’t consider it as geeky or nerdy.  It’s only geeky or nerdy if the subject matter is too academic.

Funny Question No. 8. What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


Believe it or not, it’s not food but Suppositories. LOL.  If I’m stressed out, I’ll be constipated so I needed it until I discovered the ‘Kancura Tea’ through Andrew.

Funny Question No. 7. Can you play any instruments?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I can’t play.  I never had the opportunity and don’t have the patience to learn.  You are only drawn to instruments if you’re musically inclined.  I was never a good singer and I never had any interest in playing instruments.  If I can turn back the time it would have been better if I learned to play an instrument.

Funny Question No. 6. How old is the oldest pair of shoes in your closet?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I wear shoes until they’re worn out and I don’t keep them, I throw them away.  The oldest shoes I have in my closet are about 2 years old.  They’re mostly Italian made and I wore them in the office.  The shoes I wear for walking don’t last that much.  

Funny Question No. 5. What was your favorite toy as a kid?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I could not really remember what my favourite toy was while I was growing up.  I grew up in a farming community and we play with what nature gave us.  Our marbles are the seeds of the rubber tree while our toy guns are made of banana trunk.  I did remember though that Dad made a wooden truck for me.  We were always horse playing with the neighbourhood kids most of the time and I really did not miss growing up without expensive toys.

Funny Question No. 4. Choose a movie title for the story of your life.

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.

If there’s a very appropriate movie title for the story of my life, it would be, Linktik lang ang Walang Ganti.  I could hardly remember the storyline of that movie but the hero was able to get back to those who have done him wrong. 


Life is a battlefield.  There was one battle that I thought that I was going to lose.  However, with prayers and good people around, I survived.  I was not unscathed though, scars are everywhere and it took a while for me to fully recover.  The hell I went through made me who I am today, sure of myself more and unafraid.  What is the worst thing that could happen to a person than facing death himself?    

Funny Question No. 3. What was your favorite TV show when growing up?

This question is one of the 25 Funny Questions which was sent to me by a head hunter.  I never expected them to send funny questions since it’s considered that recruiting is a serious business.  But who cares so here’s my two cents of that question.


I was not really that fond of TV when I was growing up but I remember that we owned a big black and white TV.  I was more drawn into playing with the neighbourhood kids than watching TV.  I can barely remember the shows being shown and the actors.
