a Closer Look...

I was born in Mangagoy, Surigao Del Sur and spent my childhood days there then we moved to Pampanga where i had my teenage life and learned that life is sometimes unfair and not a bed of roses but its really how to deal with "life's unfair moments" that matters.

I had college far from home because my restless soul wanted to learn the essence of independence at an early age. I took Business Economics in SLU, Baguio City. I really wanted to become an Economist and hoped to uplift the lives of Filipinos...i was so idealistic then. When i realized that becoming an economist is a long and very tedious process not to mention that it is very costly too...i changed my mind.

I decided to join the workforce in Manila and along the way i end up working in the advertising industry and really like it but i don't know how long will i like it though i believe that advertising is comparable to true love. It is the sum of all my loves - research, marketing, meeting people, having fun and excitement, adventures.

My career taught me to be fashionable but i refuse to become a fashion victim! I believe that in advertising one must be able to sell herself first (being appreciated by others ha...hindi yung magtinda ng aliw!) before one can sell his ideas…therefore it is important to always look good!

I am a happy and resilient soul. I always look on the bright side of any circumstances and I do not let life’s setbacks weigh down my spirit. I strive for excellence in anything that I am into may it be in my work or in my relationships.

I am not perfect. I have my flaws. I can be brutally frank and tactless at times. I do get even from time to time.

Those who do not really know find me intimidating, cold hearted, hard to please and liberated but I beg to disagree. I do believe that I am approachable enough to win friends, warm hearted as the summer heat (hehehe…nakakapaso!), easy to please – anything in pink will do the trick, and conservative (yes, I am even if it’s not obvious!).

Some of my friends call me an addict…addicted to coffee, extra joss, reading, pink, blogging, boxing and travels. Yes, i am addicted to work too but more so in having fun. i always make sure that i work hard and play harder.

I dream of becoming a backpacker someday. I want to see places and experience different cultures.

I am passionate and adventurous. I take chances. I seize the day and live life to the fullest.
