First Question...

Has it ever happened to you, that all you have wanted to say was YES but then, you said NO? Why? What are your reasons?

Ar-Jaie: Hell YEAH! hmm, almost 5 years ago, I should have said something like YES but I was too "ma-pride" that I said NO. Why? Because, I thought I was not ready then, and I thought it's there to stay. I thought it will wait for me to be ready. I thought that one day, the question will be presented to me again, but then again, up until this very moment, I AM VERY WRONG.

Larch Lee: Say No to something I wanna say Yes to? Yeah, a couple of times. But not to super major stuffs though. Just to 'not so major' ones like better paying job offers, gifts, etc. I take accountability for any decisions or actions I make. So that I won't have to blame anybody else except myself if there's any regret in the end. I don't know about everybody else, but for me, it's kindda easier for me to forgive myself than to forgive others. Reasons why I said No? Either I don't think I deserve the gifts or that somebody deserves them more or will appreciate them more than I ever will. Either I think that the job offer is very attractive at first but won't be enough in the long run or that I decide to stick to my current job for the sheer hope of 'maybe someday, things will be better here'.

Dannie:A lot of times! As the eldest in the family, let's just say I've had my "unfair" share of sacrifices! =P But not only in that aspect, of course I've had to make decisions in my studies, career, relationship with others, etc etc. And there could be a hundred and one reasons why I said NO instead of YES. But as of now, there's none that I regret doing. And that is the most important thing.

Rykiel: It happens to me most of the time, but only to simple matters such as hanging out with friends over coffee, having a girls' night out, going to places for vacation and etc. How I would've loved to do all of these things if it weren't for my little tyke. I have accepted the fact that my priorities have changed and I'm glad to keep it that way.
