chance. seventeen. Filipina. i'm in my second semester in sophomore year in college in the University of Santo Tomas, north of Manila. it's an hour away from where i live. those are the basics.

i enjoy the arts more than any other thing the world has to offer. i draw, read, write, sing, and use a little bit of Photoshop. reading and writing take up most of my time now... along with hanging out, talking and just thinking.

in truth, i joined this site because: one, i enjoy writing reviews for people; and two, i want to Beta. sometimes it hurts me to read a story full of erratic gramming that's grammar + spelling, and i'd love to fix it. but then there's this like--requirement to beta, hence i'm writing.

i write whenever i could. sometimes ideas literally pop up in class, and i'd get a scratch pad and pen. it's like, totally retarded.

my weird writing ritual is i can never fill up a notebook with doodles. i just can't. when i realize that it's going to be full of it, i have the tendency to tear out the clean pages; stock them up as scratch pads. i never took in the feeling of actually filling up a notebook with doodles, it's like heartbreak for me.

my armor of choice is a hardbound notebook it can be anything as long as it is hardbound, and an inoxcrom fountain pen. if you haven't heard on inoxes, you should. they're totally cheap fountain pens i have grown to and loved. try them out sometime.

i have a steady boyfriend of two years named angelo gonzalez. we celebrate our anniversary december 9.

my future plans are to finish college, review and pass the board, and then maybe work for Google, given that the recession's over. else i'm bound to work in a private company here in Flip. all my plans lead to the summit: adopting three smart, financially-challenged kids, most likely to live in the slums around here. i'd love to have one biological child of my own, but that's it. just one. a husband isn't necessary. but if i future kids would want a dad then it's okay. i just want them to be happy.

i've been singing in the church choir since i was eight, nine years old. we never ever stopped.

my greatest musical influences are stevie wonder, earth, wind and fire, rihanna, chris brown, ne-yo. period.

i don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs.

thank you, peace!
