Two Pears in a Blog

Hi Hi!!

This week, Ashley and I decided to combine our two posts and answer random questions! For reference, Big Pear is Ashley, and Little Pear is me--Melissa. Okay, here we go!!

What is your spirit animal?

Ashley - Definitely sloth. They are resilient animals that know how to conserve energy.

Melissa - a puppy!! They are super cute, friendly, and dogs are very loyal animals. (have you watched hachi)

What is your drink of choice?

Ashley - At half&half, I get honeydew milk tea w/ boba, half sweet. I also enjoy toffeenut iced lattes at Starbucks, half sweet. Always half sweet! Or default water.

Melissa - Well, following Big Pear, at half and half, my go-to is the iced milk with boba, pudding, and chocolate! Starbucks is usually my choice of drink, tho!! I love their Green Tea Latte/Frap w/ 6 scoops matcha and caramel walls! Water’s good too...

What emoji best describes you?
Ashley - I feel like his face is applicable for many emotions/situations.

Melissa -  This face describes my senior year! I try to sleep whenever I get the chance because I never know when I will have to stay up!

What song are you feeling right now?

Ashley - Rather Be by Clean Bandit. It makes me want to close my eyes and not think about life.

Melissa -I Can’t Wait by Hilary Duff. (yes. so old. but so good) I basically can’t wait to finish college apps!

What is your kryptonite/weakness?

Ashley - Men with voices of butter (Sam Smith)

Melissa - perfectly shaped eyebrows.

What are a few of your favorite things?

Ashley - Rompers, lace, & preserved meats.

Melissa - watermelon, Starbucks, selfies, decorating things, sweaters, high-res. photos, & watches

two of my many, many fav things!!

What makes you laugh?

Ashley - My dad. And simple stupidity- like memes/gifs.

 

Melissa - Buzzfeed posts. For example, today I read a post about a woman buying a loaf of toast and she complained that she had to toast the bread herself. check it out: http://www.buzzfeed.com/nicholaswray/classic-wollies#9wghxz

hmu if you want a good laugh!

What is the highlight of your week so far?

Ashley - I signed up for the Leukemia Walk which is on my birthday! So I'm super excited for that.

Melissa - OOOOH. I got to hang out with FCBC people at Gab after school (and Dan!!!)! I really enjoy getting to spend time with the underclassmen and catching up with them during school!! (Thanks Dan, for the drink!)

What are you most excited for Hi Koi this year?

Ashley - I'm really excited for the theme and what it entails. I think it's applicable for not just the high schoolers, but us as counselors. I think Jonny has a great vision and I can't wait for it to be unveiled! Also, I'm peared up with the best pearing. (SHOUT OUT M.CHOW)!

Melissa - I am super excited for SG! I think that small groups are where we grow the most and can encourage one another!! Also SUPER DUPER EXCITED to serve with Big Pear! If you see us around, say hi to us! We love meeting new people!

What was your favorite HiKoi memory?

Ashley - Senior Honor Nights were always fun. My favorite was my sophomore year when my friends and I dressed up as the Spice Girls. The theme was I <3 the 90’s. Hopefully you can tell which spice we were..

Melissa - My favorite memory would be during SG's my sophomore year in High School when we shared our Hi/Lo of the week and Kington shared the funniest story of all time and none of us could stop laughing!!

sorry, bad quality....

What is your all time favorite TV show?

Melissa - I LOVE NETFLIX. Let's just put that out there! My favorite TV show would definitely be SCANDAL. What is there not to love about that show? (well actually, I can think of somethings.. but not the point!!) I absolutely love the plots and characters, some make you laugh, others make you want to give them a hug every time you see them.

Ashley - I as well LOVE NETFLIX! I am currently rewatching The Office, which is classic. IMHO they should’ve stopped when Steve Carell left ..  Also Breaking Bad was just genius.

If you could spend the day with one person, who would you spend it with and what would you do?

Melissa - If I could spend the day with one person I would spend it with my Mom and we would fly to NY and walk in Central Park and window shop on Fifth Avenue/Madison Avenue and go to a trendy cafe for lunch and have dinner at Halal Guys(best food in NYC, google it)

Ashley - I would spend a day with Jeremy Lin. He would romantically teach me how to play basketball. And then we would talk about all our common interests over boba and noodles. And then we would pray because God would be the center of our relationship.

Would you rather eat with your feet that you can never wash for the rest of your life or eat a bottle of deodorant for the rest of your life?

Melissa - I would rather eat with my feet for the rest of my life because how can you swallow deodorant.. It's like biting on powder/gel that your pits smell like…

Ashley - This is such an odd question .. But I would eat with my feet. Because there are people with no hands and they have to eat with their feet, and they are actually Very handicapable! And if you think about it, hands are probably just as dirty as feet. soo..

What are three things you use on a daily basis?

Melissa - 1. mah trusty iPhone; 2. my pink agenda; 3. my 32-oz pink water bottle (as you can tell, I like pink a lot.. although its not my favorite color..)
Ashley - phone, chapstick, and water canteen!

If you had a one time use credit card that would be paid by some unknown benefactor, what would you buy?

Melissa - A PREMIUM DISNEYLAND PASS <3 because I absolutely love Disneyland and I would spend all my free time there!!

so this is obviously not an annual pass.
But this was the last time I went to Disneyland :)

Ashley - A plethora of french bulldogs that would ALL BE MINE !
