I'm a keeper.

Born in ‘86, long after my sisters… who are 11 and 13 years older. Born and raised in San Diego, California. I love my family and friends very dearly. I am full Filipino and abnormally tall for my ethnicity (I’m 5’10). Surrounded by engineers, accountants and doctors in the fam, I’m the ‘artist.’ Talk about being a black sheep. I love it though. I was raised to be catholic, but no longer practice any kind of religion, however, I consider myself pretty spiritual.

I enjoy reading, writing and drawing. I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Sharpies, I carry them with me practically everywhere I go so I can draw on whatever I want. I have scoliosis so my back is alllll fucked up, sadly.  I love to dance. I love to eat, but only good food. Sushi, Pasta are some favs. I love cheese and actually, any other dairy product. I eat slow. I talk a lot and listen too. I can understand tagalog (Philippine’s national language) I can speak it somewhat fluently. I can speak and understand some Spanish. I LOVE to travel, I think it helps to keep the spirit young. I think its important to be thankful for what you have, and make it a point to try not to take anything I have been blessed with for granted.

I LOVE my life. I want to be famous one day… preferably when I’m dead, or right before I die… because I value the normalcy and privacy of my life. I love concerts. I love music. I appreciate creativity, and originality. I want to make everyone I know and care about PROUD. I want to get something published. I think premaritol sex is totally acceptable, and kind of essential. I fear loneliness. If you’re hungover, word of advice: smoke a bowl. I love the beach. Bookstores also make me happy. As well as empty pages and new pens, pencils, and markers. Actually, plop me in the school supply aisle in a store and I’d be ecstatic. I also feel this way about arts and crafts stores. Earrings are my favorite kind of jewelery.

I love wine, champagne, raisins, jelly and many other processed grape products… as well as the grapes themselves. I like eating cold macaroni and cheese. I am easily distracted. I am easily amused. I am easy to please, but hard to impress. However, I am not EASY. Intelligence and wisdom turn me on. In combination with a nice smile and good dancing skills, I go crazy. Add some dimples into the mix and it’s pretty much over. But they need a snse of humor or its all out the door. It also helps if they can hold a great conversation. I get bored easily so they can’t be mundane. I am a changing woman. I don’t fear death or failure. I do, however, fear stagnance and boredom. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. I don’t believe in the notion that the first impression is most important, because oftentimes it is not even REMOTELY ACCURATE.

I have been told that I am too nice. But most people don’t know that I am actually capable of being a cold bitch if you fuck with me enough. I let too much slide sometimes. As a result people think I’m stupid or totally oblivious to what they’re doing to me… until they cross a line and I eff ‘em up.

My older sisters are my heroes, my Mom is my savior. Balance is what I strive for. I believe that people treat you the way you allow them to treat you. We only accept the love we think we deserve.

My favorite flavor ice cream is haagen dazs Coffee Ice Cream I love to journal and blog and come back to it years later to reread it all and laugh. I whole heartedly believe that everything happens for a reason. I’m slightly addicted to the internet. I hope my future husband’s last name starts with a B because that is my favorite letter to sign.  I was born before cell phones, the internet, and rice makers… that kind of makes me feel OLD. I like to drive alone. Honesty really is the best policy… (you can’t hide from the truth because the truth is all there is). I feel kind of sorry for really really hairy people. I sleep late.
