Questions and their answers are revealed.
I saw this question in my ask.fm feed and I thought how amazing it was to apply Coldplay’s Fix You to console (I presume,) somebody who failed the UPCAT (the entrance examination of the University of the Philippines).
Good one, whoever you are!

“How can you make someone happy if you aren’t that happy yourself?”
I think that my answer regarding how to make someone happy (knowing what that person wants or likes) still holds.
The question is, would making that someone happy make YOU happy? If yes, then by all means go make that person happy.
(This one was asked by a friend. I find this an interesting question, so I’ll answer it here.)
“What do I have to do to piss you off?”
You could either do one or all of the following, if you’re the sadistic one:
1. Hit me below the belt. Not literally (though it will hurt like hell and make me Incredible Hulk-mad). What I’m saying here is that doing/saying about anything that is too personal (family, etc.) against me is just too damn much. Especially if it would make things awkward for me.
2. Make me feel frustrated, OR
3. Going over the line when making fun of me or teasing me. A lot of people don’t know when to stop making fun of others. It sure feels good when you do it, but it isn’t anymore when you’re at the receiving end. I experienced this a lot in high school (I wasn’t one of the ‘cool’ kids). Other people could take this well, but not me. Being pummeled by insults almost everyday back then almost depleted my reservoir of patience for such. But I always try to be patient and ignore them. When I do get angry, they’ll tell you, “what a killjoy!”. I then stay silent, but I’m mad as hell in my mind. Maybe I’ll explain it further in a different post.
However, it doesn’t mean that you couldn’t totally make fun of me or whatever. This still depends on my mood at the moment. I could totally ignore it or even play along with it when I’m in the mood to do so.
Also, in my part, I try to be more patient, knowing that people cannot please you all the time. And some people have attitudes that will grind my gears from time to time and I couldn’t change them.
And it’s natural to be angry about things sometimes.
“What do you think is the best way to make someone happy?”
Before I answer this one, let me remind you that I’m not an expert. This would be an answer based on my beliefs, experiences and opinions.
Moving on, there’s no thing as a “single best way” that would be applicable to all people. What makes one happy would be considered “meh” by another.
It also depends on whether we’re talking about a specific person or a multitude of people here. For the latter (and sometimes, for the former), being sincerely positive would be enough, I guess.
Now, to make a certain individual happy, I think it all boils down to knowing what that person wants. What does he like? What would make her happy? You might have to do a little bit of research to find out. It doesn’t have to be extravagant or even, a material thing. There are times that little things such as a good conversation, a hug or a sincere smile would do.
In fact, I think those would make someone happier than material things.
Would it be too cruel for me to wish that I could break some hearts for a change?
The thought of me turning down people who like/love me (if they do exist) crosses my mind every once in a while.
Okay, I know that it’s not fun or it’s something most people don’t like to do. But please, hear me out first.
Being rejected many times has made me wonder what it’s like to turn down people. Perhaps it’s driven by the need to get even.
But hey, I would rather love people than reject them, you know.
Most of the time I’ll go with the flow, though in some rare cases, I wouldn’t.
I would like to thank KP Franco for the questions. They were interesting and challenging. =]
