{james's superhero survey (in progress)}

we're supposed to fill this up for the intern's wall. i LOVE filling up surveys though admittedly this is harder to answer than usual...

1. SUPERHERO NAME - come up with a fun, creative and quirky name for your superhero alter ego; try to relate the name to your sector: ahhh!!! i have no idea! :( suggestions, anyone? right now all i have is THE HUMAN VACUUM CLEANER and i don't think that will suffice. hahaha! :D
2. Planet of Origin - come up with a name for the planet that represents your sector. e.g. Planetang _____uhhh... palaging gutom at haggard? :D
3. Human Identity - Arianne Reyes (hopefully hindi kailangan ng whole name :p)
4. Birthday -- April 21, 1984 Age -- 23
5. Specialized superpowers in (what are your strengths?): speed-eating! :D
6. First manifestations of powers (when did you first realize that you wanted to be involved in development work and in the sector you're currently working for?) : totality of experiences in high school, college, and law... (naks! hehe)
7. Believes in the power of... (virtues / ideals you live by - e.g. perseverance, unity, people's inherent goodness (hehe), education, efficient local governance, kahit ano!): God, hard work and merit, people's inherent goodness, efficient local governance, education (parang kinopya ko lang..hehe), high levels of social capital, dreams and vision
8. Desires to eliminate... anything you want to stop or change: immediate: frat violence, long-term: poverty, hunger, apathy, corruption, illiteracy, change the political AND electoral system, etc. (in my own little way. i harbor no illusions of singlehandedly being able to change the status quo)
9. If i weren't a superhero, I'd be... If I weren't in law school or involved in development work, I'd be... taking my master's in political science or international relations or working in an ngo focused on political and electoral reform
10. Driven to save the world by... what's your biggest reason for being involved in development work? OR why do you want to become a lawyer? that is the million peso question...
11. Biggest enemy / obstacle in saving the world (it may be a personal flaw or an external obstacle) : myself! hahahaha. :D
12. When i'm not saving the world, I... eat, sleep, read... basically i'm your typical sloth
13. My own superhero is... a LOT of people.my parents, my grand-uncle, cong. risa hontiveros-baraquel of akbayan
14. The best thing about being a superhero is... What do you gain from being a development worker or from being a lawyer? any perks? hehe, i wouldn't know. am not (yet) a lawyer. but it does seem to be very fulfilling. :)
15. Other powers i'd like to possess - What aspects of yourself do you want to improve on? What do you want to learn? the ability to turn back time! :D seriously, i would like to learn to be more patient with myself and others
16. Super words - i live by the mottos: "non omne quod licet honestum est (not everything that is lawful is honorable)", "Integrity means doing what's right,even when it itsn't popular. Popularity allows you to live with others,integrity allows you to live with yourself." "there's always tomorrow." "be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter."- dr. seuss
17. Strongest/ most powerful when - i accomplish a difficult task, when i see my hard work pay off
18. Weakest when...there is chocolate in front of me. hahaha! but seriously, when i lose faith in myself.
19. My own meaning of SALIGAN - am still in the process of coming up with a decent answer for this one... :)
