dickron:

1.) no, but it would be an interesting experience.

ryeaka:

1.) 25. at that age i was able to strike a good balance between the passion of youthfullness and the temperance of age.

2.) being "immortal" for a day, would defeat the very purpose of immortality, as it is suppose to be the ability to live for eternity. if you mean however, that i would be invincible for a day, i would stand at the middle of every battlefield and silence their guns.

3.) i believe i have already answered this.

4.) we have solved a lot of problems with the sightless with Braille.

5.) yes. and the reason is reserved for the one i love.

kit_cebu:

1.) it's interesting that you asked that question. i personally do not know myself. but you might be interested to know that i came up with the answer for the FAQ on that a while back.

How do I become a moderator?

This is not exactly a beauty-brawn-brain contest. Only the administrators know the ultra-secret formula on what makes a member a good mod. Incidentally they are the only ones who have the power to grant mod status to anyone.

to tell you honestly, i was just posting away like any other istoryan would and i got a message from the admins for the mod position. i needed a few days worth of thinking if i was up to the task. up to know, the "ultra-secret formula" is still a secret that only the admin knows.

2.) life is to be lived. unlike a lot of people who say that "things happen for a purpose", i think that we are the ones who create purpose and reason for who we are and how we live. the tips of our fingers have more to say about our destiny and what it means to us compared to the distant stars in the sky. \

3.) cars are cool. personality wise, i'd prefer the Chevy. but real world needs might dictate that i go for the Prius instead.

4.) i don't watch too much late night shows ( i prefer to be online, interacting ), but one time i have stumbled upon David Letterman's show and he seems to be a funny guy.

5.) tough one. a lot depends too much on the situation where i'd find myself making this choice and the limitations of what i can do. as much as possible no life should be wasted, and choosing who to save should not depend solely because one is a "mother" and the other a "daughter". when the burden of choice is in your hands on whose life you'd cut short and whom you should save, your choice is a disaster for at least one person.

is the life of the person you're saving worth it? who and how many people will feel the loss once you've made your choice? are both ready to die for the sake of the other? crazy questions among others that one needs to think about in making such choice.

6.) 5 lang for this day.

[yiennahs]

1. which side are you in on Corona's impeachment?
2. what are your plans for valentines?
3. what are your goals this year?
4. who is one istoryan that you find really annoying and why?

[gareb]

yiennahs:

1.) curious question. the Corona impeachment is much more complicated that a mere "guilty" or "not guilty" verdict by the Senate standing as the Impeachment Court. whichever the tide would turn, there are dire consequences for this nation. i could expound on this, but if fear that i will eat up too much space reserved for other things. but one thing in clear, i am on the side of truth, however painful and divisive it is.

2.) due to schedule constraints, among other things, i will not be joining the throng of lovers on the resto's and malls in the city. people celebrate lover's day because they do not celebrate it everyday, after all.

3.) i have very flexible specific goals.

4.) one lang?

Bro ask sad ko

1. when do you know your friends are true to you?
2. how do you treat a woman who bares it all to you just to get you as her lover (if you arent into her)?
3. Top 5 film directors (hollywood/local combined) and the movies they directed that startled you.
4. what are your thoughts about paranormal occurences? (considering that you have heard/read/experienced yourself)

[raissah]

First time to ask here so let me know if I'm not making sense.

1. Do you ask opinions from other mods when you close a thread? why/why not?

2. Do you enjoy being a mod or would you prefer to be a regular istoryan? again, why?

3. Have you ever used your "authority" here in istorya for personal benefits?

4. Other than health reasons, what are the things that would make you stop visiting istorya.net?

5. If there's someone you do not like at all (here in istorya.net) who would that be?

Butchokoy:

1.) the litmus test of friendship is always when a disaster of any proportion comes.

2.) that's just sad. gently but firmly say "no". enough that she will know that you mean it, but firmly that she will still have some dignity and self respect left intact.

3.) that's a long list. i can' think too much right now; i still need my day's dose of caffeine. i'll give you 4.

David Fincher, "Fight Club"
Steven Spielberg, "Schindler's List" (among tons of others)
Marilou Diaz-Abaya "Bagong Buwan"
Ishmael Bernal "Himala"

4.) those are at best anecdotal, hyped up by the appeal and allure of exoticism and the mystical. as with most cases, we tend to automatically attribute any "unexplained" phenomena to the supernatural simply because we do not understand the workings of such phenomena. it has been so from ages past, it is true now.
