Let's get started! Let's talk about staying up late. Do you often stay up late
0:33
Well, not often. I only stay up late when there's an important project that needs to be completed at a certain date
0:41
For instance, last month, I had to usually hit the hay at 1 a.m
0:47
or 2 a.m. as I was working on a company project, even when I was at home
0:52
It was tough, but I was able to manage my situation. Do you have a doctor's advice
0:59
Absolutely not. My doctor advised me not to stay up late because it would compromise my health
1:05
Well, I used to stay up late in the past because I spent a lot of time watching
1:12
TV series or movies until I got terribly sick. Since then, I changed my unhealthy habit because I don't want to die early
1:28
What do you do when you stay up late? There is only one reason that I have to stay up late, and that's because of work
1:36
As I said, when I'm given a task or a project to complete, I make sure to give my all
1:42
of course, including my time, as I want to finish the project a few days before its deadline
1:50
So if there are some revisions needed, I have ample time to correct them
1:57
Did you stay up late? I don't stay up late recently. However, in the past, I did
2:03
So I usually stayed up late for no important reason at all
2:08
I just binge-watched some TV series or movies that I was engrossed in
2:15
and unfortunately, that took a toll on my health. That was an important life lesson I learned anyway
2:22
Did you stay up late when you were a child? Hmm... As far as I can remember, I didn't because my parents were so strict in disciplining us
2:33
especially my father. He made us sleep at 9 in the evening all the time
2:39
because it's the right thing to do, according to him. My siblings and I couldn't go against my father because he's the boss in the family
2:48
I only started having some experiences of staying up late when I was a high school student
2:54
Did you stay up late? Well, it's not always, but there were times that I stayed up late
3:00
especially on Friday or Saturday nights. There were some Friday or Saturday nights when I stayed awake until 12 midnight
3:09
because I watched movies with my parents. How do you feel in the morning after you stay up late
3:18
I feel gruggy and I'm sometimes bad-tempered. I think that's pretty natural for some people who pull an all-nighter
3:27
I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's just a natural thing to do
3:31
I don't think it's a bad thing to do. I think it's just a natural thing to do
3:35
I think it's just a natural thing to do. I think it's just a natural thing to do
3:39
I think that's pretty natural for some people who pull an all-nighter
3:43
But anyway, I do my best not to become toxic to my co-workers
3:49
because I know that when we have an important project to finish
3:54
they also need to stay up late. And probably, they also feel what I feel the next day
4:01
So, I just need to be more understanding. How do you feel when you stay up late
4:06
Well, in the past, when I was a champion of staying up late
4:10
I usually felt so exhausted in the morning when I woke up
4:15
I felt like I didn't want to go to school and just wanted to spend more time in my bed
4:21
I was stupid at that time for staying up late for no important reason at all
4:28
If I hadn't become ill, I think I still would have continued that bad habit
4:37
Let's talk about t-shirts. Do you usually wear t-shirts? Definitely. I love wearing t-shirts because they are more comfortable
4:48
Besides, they can never be out of style since they complement very well with jeans or short pants and sneakers
4:58
Also, I wear a t-shirt as an inner for my blazer whenever I want to wear something casual or semi-formal
5:05
Again, t-shirts will never be outdated. Do you wear t-shirts in summer
5:11
Well, I always wear t-shirts when it's summer time because obviously, they're more comfortable
5:17
Of course, t-shirts will always be everyone's favorite in the season as they give nothing but comfort
5:24
I also wear t-shirts from time to time when I go to sleep
5:29
especially if I don't feel like wearing pajamas. Do you like t-shirts with pictures and prints
5:40
Not at all. I'm more into wearing plain t-shirts. I don't know
5:44
I think it has something to do with my personality. I'm actually a minimalist type and low-key, so I prefer simplicity
5:53
You can never see me wearing t-shirts with a Disney character or a Marvel superhero or a coatable coat
6:01
or some sort of fun expression printed in my t-shirts. Actually, I find them childish
6:11
Yes, I do. I find them cool and fashionable, especially those expression t-shirts
6:18
In fact, I have more than a dozen of those types of t-shirts and I got them at bargain prices
6:26
One of my favorites is a t-shirt with Audrey Hepburn's coat that says
6:34
Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I'm possible. I wear that t-shirt from time to time and it does give me positive energy
6:47
Would you buy t-shirts as souvenirs on vacation? No, I'm not a big fan of buying t-shirts as souvenirs
6:56
They're incredibly common and as I said earlier, I don't like t-shirts with prints on them
7:02
That isn't my style at all. I'd rather buy caps as souvenirs or some delicacies of the place where I visit
7:14
Definitely. In fact, that's what I always do when I travel. I pick those t-shirts with prints of the tourist spots of the place
7:23
or something that is significant to that place and I consider them my mementos
7:31
Normally, I buy at least eight of those types of t-shirts because I also give some to my friends or anyone in my family
7:43
Do you think older people who wear t-shirts are fashionable? Well, that depends on the wearer
7:49
A solid-collar t-shirt paired with a blazer, jeans and either casual shoes or formal shoes
7:57
would really look fashionable if the wearer shows confidence in the clothes that he's wearing
8:03
However, the entire appearance would look dull if there's no confidence at all
8:08
In other words, the confidence of the wearer or the person highlights the clothes that he's wearing
8:15
and that makes him look fashionable regardless of age. That depends on the type of t-shirt and of course the wearer himself
8:27
If it's a completely plain t-shirt and the wearer doesn't complement it with
8:32
something pleasant to look at, then it's not fashionable at all. There isn't a peculiar personality shown on the t-shirt
8:41
However, if the wearer wears a t-shirt in a way that he's able to express his uniqueness and creativity
8:50
then that's the time that I can call him fashionable. Let's talk about keys
9:00
Do you always bring a lot of keys with you? Well, I bring keys with me but not a lot
9:08
I just have my house key and my car key and I make sure to keep them safe inside my bag
9:14
or else I won't be able to get home. Honestly, I can't imagine losing any of them
9:20
I think I'll get paranoid if I lose one of them. Not at all
9:29
I only have one key that I always bring with me whenever I go out
9:33
and that's my key card for my apartment. I actually lost it once and thankfully, the management of my apartment was so kind
9:43
that they replaced it without any hassle. Actually, I don't have a reason to bring a lot of keys with me
9:54
Have you ever lost your keys? Not even once, thank God. To be honest with you, I'm an obsessive-compulsive type of person
10:04
As I said earlier, I always make sure to keep my keys in a safe place like my bag
10:11
So, before I leave home or leave the office, I always check my keys if they're with me
10:18
That is a habit of mine and that never fails me. Yes, numerous times
10:27
As I've said, I lost my key card for my apartment once
10:31
and honestly, this question reminds me of the time when I was a high school student
10:37
when I lost my bedroom key, my camlock key for my locker in school
10:42
my key to my diary and many more. I don't know, I think I'm incredibly careless
10:53
Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out? I've never experienced that one
10:59
With my obsessive-compulsive behavior, I believe that will never happen as I always double-check my things, including my keys, before leaving home or work
11:11
I'm always like that, so that has never happened to me. I believe it will never happen unless someone steals my bag where my keys are kept
11:22
Well, it's not often, but I had several experiences that I couldn't get into my apartment
11:33
The most recent one was two months ago. My key card was lost
11:39
I don't know, I guess I dropped it when I was on a train since I kept it inside my pocket
11:47
Perhaps when I got my handkerchief out of my pocket, I unknowingly dropped it
11:58
Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys to your neighbor? It's never a good idea to leave one's key to a neighbor simply because it isn't safe
12:10
We can never put our trust very easily in our neighbors, considering the many crimes that are happening these days
12:17
However, if our neighbor is a family member with whom we have a good relationship
12:24
then I think that's possible. Absolutely not! Well, why would we leave our keys to one of our neighbors in the first place
12:36
For me, that's the dumbest thing a person can do. I don't even know my neighbors in the apartment building where I live
12:45
I just can't imagine asking my neighbors if I could leave my keys with them
12:52
They would probably think that I lost my mind. Learn how to answer part 1 questions about chocolates, happiness, and art
