ANSWERS:

If you were to become a deity, where would you want to rule - heaven,
earth, hell?
If I were to become a deity, I would choose to rule Earth because
the world of mortal/human is mesmerizing, and I want to observe
humans and their day-to-day life and be able to experience it myself.
Being right around the middle of heaven and hell makes me feel like I
am in a safety net where I am not pure evil or good. Thus, giving me a
comfortable throne where I could sit without the pain of choosing to be
good or evil. Although as a deity I have the great responsibility in ruling
the kingdom of Earth, I do believe it’ll be less complicated.

What Filipino superstitions do you practice? Why? Expound.
A Filipino superstition I do practice are pagpag, knock on wood,
and the tabi-tabi po. There are actual spirits that would follow me home
if I don’t try to do the pagpag and I don’t want them roaming around
home so I choose to believe that when I do pagpag somewhere their
spirits will no longer follow me. Additionally, I do the knock-on wood
when I say things I don’t actually want to happen so it would not
continue to happen. Lastly I say tabi-tabi po when I walk around a big
lump of land or nunu sa punso or somewhere dark and forest-like
places as a sign of respect to the mythical creature or the dili ingon nato
so they would know I am not going to hurt their home but rather I would
only pass by.
