Saturday 9 post~!
1) In this song, Shawn Mendes pleads with the girl he loves to be careful with his heart. Clearly he feels she's more important to him than he is to her. Do you believe that, in every relationship, someone always loves more?
I believe it, yes. This coming from my experience with non-romantic relationships :P... I do think that it would be the same for romantic ones too. Dare I say that it shouldn't be a problem as long as you communicate your thoughts and feelings with each other? Of course, there are other factors to be considered too but mainly (to me), communication is important.
2) He says that he'd willingly drive through the night just to be near her. Do you enjoy your time behind the wheel? Or do you consider driving necessary but not necessarily pleasurable?
I enjoy driving. I love listening to music while I drive. Although for now, I might need some time to get back to driving since I didn't drive much during the peak of the pandemic. Kind of afraid to return to the roads after so long...
3) He acknowledges that she has good intentions, but she hurt him anyway. Can you think of a time when you unintentionally hurt someone's feelings?
There might be some moments that I don't know about... but for ones that I do know, it happened in Secondary School. I think it was because I made a nonchalant (to me it was that way) comment and it hurt one of my friends' feeling. I don't remember how I know and how it was dealt though. I was still friends with her after that too so I want to believe it didn't ruin our friendship (at that time).
Unfortunately, I do have a tendency of making nonchalant, throwaway remarks at times... especially when I'm trying to hide my real thoughts and feelings. I also experienced making such remarks not aimed to anyone, and someone who I'm indifferent to was offended by it because he thought it was about him. I'm offended that he would think I'll give any thoughts about him at all! *calms self*... anyway, I try not to make nonchalant remarks that often anymore unless I meant for them to be heard. Honestly though, it's hard to know what will trigger someone so I rather have them speak out if they're uncomfortable with what I said so that I can adjust appropriately. I can't read minds, you know?
4) Shawn Mendes was a serious skateboarder during his high school years. Crazy Sam admits she's never even been on a skateboard. How about you? Are you more like Shawn or Sam, or are you somewhere in between?
I'm with Sam on this one. Never been on a skateboard. No plans to get on one in the future :P
5) While in his teens, he taught himself to play guitar while watching YouTube videos. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? If yes, what type of videos do you watch most often?
Oooh I spend a lot of time on Youtube, oh yes. I usually watch people play games (preferably horror games), anime (legally, since the channels obtained the official rights for Southeast Asia region), and reading/book youtubers.
6) When he's traveling or busy working, Shawn eats cold cereal for every meal -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. He says it's fast, tasty, and better than the fast food he'd grab otherwise. Will you be getting any meals "to go" this weekend?
Most probably will.
7) In 2016, the year this song was popular, Game of Thrones was TV's hottest show. Were you a fan?
I'm... not. I might watch it in the far future if I'm in the mood.
8) Also in 2016, a German shorthaired pointer won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. Tell us about a dog who holds a special place in your heart.
The dog from the children's book "Where's Spot?" by Eric Hill. Although mine was a Malay translation one so it was called "Mana Si Bulat?" instead (Bulat literally means circle lol). I think. Childhood memories, not really reliable. I remember this particular book being read to me and me rereading several times after that. I think this was one of the few books that spark my interest in reading when I was still a child.
9) Random question: What's the subject line of the top email in your spam folder?
I think my spam folder just got cleared/auto-deleted so it's just "Hooray, no spam here!" now haha...

Very thoughtful answers to #1 and #3! Thanks for sharing. And I should look into that auto-delete thing on #9. My spam folder is always full.
#2 Back in my college days I used to make my own 8-track tapes (That was back in ancient history.) and I had them timed for the 7 hour drive. Country & Western during the country mountain roads, Bob Seger Turn the Page for the long stretch of highway between Albany and Rochester.
Yes, music is what makes driving pleasurable. I wish I had auto delete too sometimes. I found something there today that was not spam, so glad I checked.
I like that you chose a dog from a book for the question about the animal. Well done.
