• if you could choose to know everything about one topic, what area would you choose to be an expert?

• how would someone be able to tell if you're happy? if you're sad?

  .

• are you an organized person?
  i believe i'm very organized. i like to organize my work by priority and deadlines. i like to know exactly what i'm going to do for the day and the week. so i outline my tasks and organize my work load. by doing so, i can organize my time and work better.
  .

• if a fire destroyed your home and all of your belongings, what would you do? if you could take out three things before the blaze, what would they be? (assuming there is no one in the house at the time of the fire.)
  my laptop, the ring binder and my purse. in my laptop there are so many photos, videos, documents and study materials which i would really-really miss, in the ring binder are my official documents and the purse contains my ID and other cards. :)

• does any particular season make you happier than others? if so, do you know why?
  summer. warm weather, popsicles, pool time, beautiful sunsets, nice scents, corn on the cob, wheat fields, poppies and larkfurs, grilling, watermelon, peaches, bike rides, shorts, ...
  .

• do you like your first name? have you ever wished you had a different name? what name would it be?

THINGS TO TALK ABOUT WITH YOUR LOVE #2

in things to talk about with your love #1 i shared with you five interesting questions, which you could discuss with your partner. as i promised, i brought you some more...

?  Do you ever pick up hitchhikers? Which type of people would you pick up?
?  How often do you think your gut feeling is correct? When can you remember that it was incorrect?
?  What one skill do you wish you had learned but haven't?

- i would pick up young hitchhikers with huge backpacks, because it would make my day brighter - to help someone, and i would be interested in their story: where did they come from, where are they going...
- most of the times, my gut feelings are incorrect, or...i don't even have a gut feeling. yes...that's sad given that i'm a girl... :P
- i wish i have learned to play the piano. i started to take classes, but the teacher was old and boring, so i quit after one year. (but after some years i learned a lot on my own, which is nice.)

THINGS TO TALK ABOUT WITH YOUR LOVE #1

you are probably aware that in many countries of the world the bride and groom don't really know each other before they get married. well, that actually happens in every country. :)
all of you surely know girls and boys, men and women who have been dating for years, then have been shocked to learn what their mate thought about sex, religion, careers, household work, money and the future.
couples could cut down on a lot of their clashes if they know more about their mate’s thoughts, beliefs and emotions. the best way to get to really know someone is with questions. 

i found a great book with a huge amount of questions for couples. some days ago, when i needed to spend some quality time with my husband (not just discuss “the weather and our jobs“), i opened the book and we started to discuss the questions. we were talking more than an hour. it was interesting, it was constructive, it was fun.

these were the questions:

? What things about me remind you of anyone from your past, either past sweethearts or good friends?
? What do you think are my talents? Do you think you have any of the same talents?
? How many physical fights have you been in? Do you usually start them? Why do you fight?
? Has anyone very dear to you died? How did you handle it?
? What are you most fearful of? How does that fear keep you from doing things you would like to do?

i will continue sharing some of the questions here, so you may discuss them with your partner or your friends.

have a great week! :)
