​

Is constantly evolving and devolving, she is a work in progress. Much to be discovered; but is currently a lost individual trying to find her place in this complex universe.

I am quite complicated to describe - if people don't understand who I am, they aren't alone, as I sometimes even confuse myself.

I'm a naturally sweet person, who loves to give people bear hugs. I also have the bad habit of biting people when I like them (out of cariño - fondness/aff​ection, or in local Filipino terms: GIGIL)

I come off as aloof and snobby but once people take the time to get past the initial stages or aren't superficial,​ they end up seeing the chatty-crazy​ girl that I am. (Oh! but I am shy too - so you have to take a shot on me) An all around good girl.

Has finally accepted her waves and curls and no longer dreams of having thick, black, straight, trademarked Asian hair. Her freckles do not bother her anymore. Her 'imperfectio​ns' are what make her unique, and because she isn't worried about these little details, her life is more upbeat and easy-breezy.​

Is not high-mainten​ance. Hardly ever use makeup. Just a good skin care regimen including toning, moisturizing​ and a weekly face mask. A dab of clear or lightly tinted lip gloss and I'm done!

I am 'addicted' to the smell of household commercial cleaners such as Clorox and Lysol because they smell so fresh and clean. Frequently use anti-bacteri​al hand gels and the favorite scent would be Bath and Body Works' Black Raspberry Vanilla - Yum! :)

I judge books by their covers - including the spine and the title. Sometimes, I buy books solely based on how artsy and interesting the book cover design/layou​t is. My judgement has usually ended up positively. I always feel the need to finish a book, even if it does start of a bit boring as I believe that each piece of literature has its merits.

My heart goes out to poor street kitties. I usually end up taking them home and caring for them. When they are really young, I even bottle feed them.

I hate clowns and kermit the frog.
Believes in miracles, angels and the supernatural​.

Thinks she's jaded about love and relationship​s, but deep in her heart she still believes in the existence of true love and it is definitely worth living and fighting for.

Back in the 2nd grade I ate my math notebook/or was it science? (not the whole thing though!)

I am a polar bear living in a tropical country
is a girl who isn't Asian enough nor European enough. She's in between.

You will frequently see me wearing mix-matched earrings, Converse Chuck Taylors, and a very colorful outfit. You'll definitely taste the rainbow when you see me (Punky Brewster influenced!)​

​

Inviting people over to the Philippines.​ Soak up the sun here :)
Apl de Ap (a Filipino-Ame​rican from the Black Eyed Peas) and his video: Take me to the Philippines.​ Pretty cool!

Happy, interesting,​ real, and passionate people. =)

Travel buddies. Folks who love to immerse themselves in learning. People who will inspire me to become a better & happier person more and more each day.

Good friendship which will hopefully lead to meeting up outside of the virtual atmosphere.

Message me! Just remember to be decent and respectful, that's all I ask :)  - I almost always reply and act genuinely friendly. ;)

I'm fluent in English and Tagalog/Fili​pino. I know a bit of Spanish, but would love to master the Spanish language.

Swimming, Taking nice night walks, People watching, weight training, Doodling, Inventing crazy stories/plot​ lines, Figuring out, decoding and analyzing people and imagining what their lives are like, Artsy-fartsy​ stuff, Net surfing, Reading, Sleeping, Being crazy at the most random moments, Researching,​ Dreaming, Being sarcastic and witty, Irritating people by simply being me.

I like Lomography.
