The Kapre That Lived In Our Neighbor's Tree

Several things that occupied my mind as a child:

1. Why does the sun look like it's following our car? The same goes for that mountain over there.
2. Who switches lamp posts on and off?
3. Why does red mean stop and who made this law universal?
4. How can one miss a movie much like one misses a parent, a loved one, etc.?
5. How can a fair number of people fit inside Oscar's trash can?
6. Who decides which colors are painted on cars?
7. Who made it OK for cars to overtake my Lola's owner-type jeep just because they're faster?
8. Who invented Patintero?
9. Given where our country is on the planet, why isn't everything sideways?
10. What is Stephen Yan's "Wondah Powdah" made of?
11. Who said it was fine to eat pigs, cows, and chickens and leave every other animal alone?
12. How did people determine which foods were alright to eat? Did they have people eat different stuff and then take note of what the people who died ate?
13. Who the crap said squash tasted good?
14. Why does our dog always have puppies even though we don't have a Papa Dog?
15. Maybe our next door neighboor really is a Ninja. I saw him climb Mr. Corpuz's Duhat tree and boy did he burn rubber going up that sucker.
16. Why can't a coyote who is smart enough to purchase explosives and mount them on skates catch a bird?
17. Would it be possible to suck the pus out of a boil using a vacuum cleaner and some straws?
18. If I went inside that room on the top floor that was always, and I mean always, locked, would I find a dimension parallel, but not similar, to ours?
19. What if, during that ghost hunt, I had gathered enough courage to look at the Kapre everyone else said they saw sitting on the branches of Aling Linda's Mango tree?
20. Why the hell isn't there any corn in corned beef? (Or pork in pork and beans.)
