Quick Facts
- I started walking when I was 9 months old, and my mom was like, “What the hell?“
- I’ve been a school politician since elementary. I was the vice president of the Student Council when I was in Grade 5 and president when I was in Grade 6. I was the secretary of the Supreme Student Government when I was in 4th year high school.
- I had my high school years spent in Makati Science High School where I learned that not all science high school students are exceptionally bright - some are just.. well, extras. Haha. I’m so mean.
- I’ve always loved pink ever since the world began.
- I love writing. I was named Editor-in-Chief of our high school organ, but for some reasons, I resigned.
- My ultimate aspiration is to become a teacher and a lawyer at the same time, but somehow, I ended up taking Fine Arts which deviated my future from being a lawyer to being a professional artist, I shifted to another program, so now I’m on my way there!
- I’ve never been into fine arts until I entered college, where I was forced to be into the arts. Afterall, I took up a Fine Arts program for a year. And believe it or not, I was included in the Dean’s List for two semesters.
- I transferred to the University of the Philippines to take BA Linguistics. And yes, I’m back to the freshman standing.
- I’m in a long-term relationship with my Niko. We’ve been together for more than 4 years now, and I’m ultimately happy about it.
- I have lots of bitterness in life, but I make effort not to fuss so much about them, although sulking once a month is almost normal for me.
- I love reading books.It’s my favorite past time (aside from surfing the net). I usually borrow books from Niko, but I also buy myself books from stores that sell second-hand books. The cheaper, the better. Haha.
- I’m particularly irritated with Filipinos who dress like “gangsters” (that’s how they call themselves) with their gargantuan (no exaggeration here) t-shirts, elephant jeans, white caps and white shoes. And other kinds of Pinoy Jologs.
- I have a small frame body, but I eat a lot. I usually crave for pizza and Mcflurry and chicken and fries.
- I talk and laugh a lot. I’m a talking machine! I enjoy joking around, but I also have my “time of peace”.
- I am a very emotional person (but not the “emo” nonsense that most teenagers are going gaga about). I easily cry over romantic drama movies. You get the idea.
