1. Name:
Jesser
2. Age:
22
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
A tie between England and Brazil. England because I've always been fascinated with the English culture since I could remember. And of course, you got to love the English accent. I think it's teh sexy.
And Brazil so I can stalk Rodrigo Santoro, my future husband, and I can finally meet. lol
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?
It would probably be my dream room with everything that I need: a big comfy bed filled with pillows, a bookshelf on one wall, a laptop and a desktop pc (both must have Photoshop), a working table covered with piles of notebooks and mechanical pencils (if ever I wanted to write using pen and paper), a bean bag somewhere in the corner, a TV and DVD player (with surround sound speakers) with a towering stack of DVDs beside it, a mini-ref/pantry with all my favorite chips, chocolates, and drinks (I always want to have something to munch whenever I write or read), and a wall covered with pictures of my eyecandies--Rodrigo Santoro, Robert Pattinson, Harry/Ginny maniped pics and fanart--that I can stare at whenever I'm bored or whenever my muse needs a little nudge. The room would have large windows and a view of a beach and sunset. There should be a chair near one of the windows so I can just sit there and stare at the scenery whenever I need to unwind or be inspired.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?
I've never been a Draco fan; I've never liked him in the books and not even in the movies. No matter how much the fandom will write and argue about redeemed!Draco, he would always be a flat character to me--that annoying, coward git, who thinks so highly of himself but in fact he couldn't even do damn single thing by himself.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Half full. I couldn't explain why but I've always thought of it as half full. Maybe it's because I've always been optimistic when it comes to things.
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality.
"I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell. I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe you'll see a different side of me." - "Unwell" by Matchbox Twenty.
"Unwell" has always been my personal song, not because I'm crazy or mentally ill or something, but because it fits me a great deal from the first time I've heard the song. I've always been told that people's first impression of me are far different from who I am once they got to know me better. Some thought of me as a snob but once they get to know me, they always always say that I am not a snob at all. There are some thought the other way around; their first impression of me was that I'm such a sweet and friendly person but then they'd realize that I'm such a narcissistic bitch. (Most likely they were the ones who got into my bad side.) I have yet to hear a person who'd say that their first impression of me holds true once they get to know me.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends?
Family because they would be always there for you no matter what. Friends might and will leave you but your family won't. Though I must admit that there were times when I tend to value my friends more than the members of my family but then time and again, my family proved that they're there for me, no questions asked.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Playing with my cousins, most definitely. My cousins used to live beside our house so we get to play all the time in my grandparent's house because they have a big backyard. We'd climb the trees, pick fruits, and eat them on top of the roof, or run around the place, or play jump rope, or play house with my Barbie dolls.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?
My stubbornness and my attitude of doing what I want to do even if, say my parents, have forbidden me to do so. For example, if my parents didn't let me sleep over at my friend's house, I'd always find a way wherein I could still go to my friend's house and find a reason so my parents wouldn't have a choice but to let me sleep over at my friend's place.
I'm also selfish at times that I only think of myself first than other people. A lot of times, I tend to get so wrapped up with doing my own stuff that I tend to forget about the other people around me, say my brother and sister that need attending to.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?
Yes, definitely. I would probably be one of the first to sign up and be one of the most active members who never missed a single meeting. Aside from Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts has always been one of the subjects I find as interesting and would likely find myself excel in if I were to study at Hogwarts. I believe in practical application of things rather than theories, so most probably, I'd be one who would hate Umbridge the most.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations.
I've always been calm even if the situation's already a stressful one. I'd be the last one to panic; I'd be the one giving instructions to people if the situation calls for it (I think I have that attitude of assuming the leader post if the real leader already had a break down). Though I must admit that I also have a tendency to panic when everyone's already panicking.
If the situation only involves myself and no one else, I would try to step back and see how I can go about it; find a battleplan of some sort. And once I've thought of a battleplan, I'd follow it dilligently until I've finished whatever it is that I need to do. That had been proven effective loads of times, especially during the finals week.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?
Justice, because there's hardly any justice anywhere. I see injustice everywhere I look so I value it more. I think the world would be a better place to live in if justice is one of the ruling values.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul?
I've always been a child at heart. My mom has always told me that I do act like a child most of the times, and favor fun and play more than responsibility. And I've been told off a countless of times by my mom to act my age and not like a teenager.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?
I think it will put me in Gryffindor. I tend to think of myself as brave, the first one to go head on with something even if I'm not sure of what that would bring and a little reckless at times. I'd stick up for my friends and family all the time. And I do have a certain disregard for the rules (like right now, I'm supposed to be working but I'm here answering these questions.)
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
One of my recent pics that I love so much. I love my curls, but nah, they're not natural. I just had it permed. ;)
