alone in an island

Philippines
March 10, 2008 7:15pm CST
When I was applying for a job before, during the interview, I was asked about this situational question: Suppose you will be trapped in an island, which has nothing, but waters and trees. What 5 things you may want to have at that moment and why? I remember answering it like this- I want to have a book, a blanket, an umbrella, a pocket knife, and a mobile phone so I can call for help... hehehe I just wonder what other people might answer it,,, YOU?

I would bring matches for smoke signals, the love of my life, a blanket, my laptop, some junk food, and a phone! That's a fun question!

a notepad and pencil (does that count as 2?), a lighter, a shovel, a reclining lawn chair :) If the pencil doesn't count I would say blanket or maybe toilet paper....haha. That is fun to think about as long as it is a nice island.

5 things would be my four children and food that can be eaten in five days. bread for example. i dont want to be in an island without them. i will be worrying to much about them. where i am is where they have to be.
