CHARACTER SKETCH
I have conducted an interview with a love one. We were just talking through skype when I thought of having the interview. I asked him several questions and I observed how he answered the question. My first question was "what makes him happy?". He didn't hesitate to answer music. He find it comforting because it separated him from having bad thoughts and experiences even he's already having a bad day. The types of music he's into are contemporary, indie and folk. He even specified some of his favorite artists such as simon and garfunkel, beatles, asian kung fu generation and some hiphop and RnB artists, and hillsong. I asked him another question but he found it vague so he didn't answer it. I said describe himself. He answered me in a straight way he said he's hardworking. can be patient and can be impatient, unorganized but he's managing things. very nostalgic. I asked him if he will be given a chance to teach about anything, random things he said he would like to teach about how to play musical instruments. He loves playing drums. He can also play guitar, bass and a little bit of violin I think. After exploring some of his likes in life, I asked him some questions that are more personal. I asked him when does he feel great. Excitingly he answered me when people noticed a big loss of wait. He says that in that way he feels accomplished. Maybe he's really putting a lot of effort to loss wait so he's very flattered hearing this. He's a hot tempered person and he admits it. But lately he said, he was able to control his temper and he is more persevere. I said he should avoid eating fatty foods because this might be a cause why he's hot tempered. We just laugh though. A sign that he doesn't want to stop :). We were having a great time chit chatting so I asked him what inspires him the most. I know he's a bit shy answering this in front of me, however he answered that it's his girlfriend(take note that it's me. When I asked him why, he bowed and answered me that I can't barely hear his voice. He said my girlfriend because she knows the right things to say. This made me stop for a while. Absorbed the sweet moment and after a minute go on with the interview. I asked him again about some recent activities he had. I asked him what made him smile recently. He said he saw a little girl wearing a pikachu hat and shook his hands he finds it cute. I didn't imagine that a big guy like he would find it cute. He said another soft side that I do not know yet is when he's showing empathy to other people. In this way, he can be a comforter to the needy. When asked what type of book would he like to write, he answered he wanted a horror book; something scary. And the story line??STILL PROCESSING!! He really didn't want to answer this question because he said he has no intentions to write a book, I just forced him to say so. We were on the latter part of the interview and he said he loves the ocean view. Although he was borne in Guam(a country that is also an island) he doesn't know how to swim. He said he's scared of the creatures of the water. He loves the ocean view because it's big and feels like when he's on an island it's small and there's so much more to see. He likes to explore the ocean someday but he's scared. He thought of the interview as "ridiculous". I mean it he said it on my face. Hence, it didn't stop me from asking. Made me want to ask more questions. Just to see if really is not as hot tempered as before. I was about to end the interview when I thought of asking about us. First I asked him if he's willing wait to wait. He said YES( I felt so relief upon hearing this answer) When asked him why, I was shocked to hear a "STILL PROCESSING!!!" Deep inside I was like "oh my gums! he's playing the game now!It's pay back time because I extended the interview!". I asked him another question. But it's too private and sensitive. It was just a scenario and I know for a fact that when he answered he'd be upset, he mean it. The last question I asked was a hypothetical question. I asked him if he would be given a chance to spend a day with his girlfriend, what will he do? He couldn't find the answer to the question. He will utter the words, but then again, he would stutter. He found it difficult to verbalize it so he decided to might as well just type it. He said he would like to take his girlfriend and do things she would like to do. wants to lay down with her girlfriend and spend the whole night talking and added "i don't know". Again, he bowed his head and felt so shy answering me. In the last question, I saw the child-like-shyness of him. I felt he was uncomfortable answering the question. Kind of hesitant because perhaps, he might throw a bad answer. Overall, I felt the sincerity answering my questions, though he find it silly and ridiculous, I was so happy knowing more about this gentle giant of mine.
