3. All about me Welcome to my crazy world!! I'm a pen and paper person - I love reading and creating my own works through writing and drawings Proud Moment: I won 2 nd place in Speech Writing and Delivery Contest in Japan. One article of mine was published in The Philippine Daily Inquirer under the Young blood column I love being on a plane and riding trains. I usually travel alone, it gives me the opportunity to meet new people. I’ve only been to Japan, it’s where my family is based since I was a kid.

4. I’m a coffee addict! I’m fond of visiting different coffee shops, appreciating the smell of coffee brewing and looking for an inspiring ambience that will put me to a writing mood When I was a working student in Japan, I used to drink 6-8 cups of coffee a day (WHOA!!– I know -.-)… But not anymore, I’m controlling myself to go beyond 3 cups a day What can I say, I really love coffee.

5. If this is talent…. I used to dance, specifically Jazz dance and Ballroom… but not anymore v.v I love music. I sing, a lot ^.*, especially when I’m alone. And I use to play the piano I love Handicrafts- this one hobby of mine started during my elementary days I also love baking and cooking- though the latter does not seem to love me back v.v

6. Idea…to…Business They say I’ve always been “Business minded”, since I was in grade school- maybe it’s one of the reasons why I chose to take Entrepreneurship I do buy and sell Sometimes I create my own products One idea of mine made me a representative of my previous university

7. Business…to…Community I love immersing myself to community service, in any form. I'm a proud and used-to-be an active member of St. Paul University’s CDC (Community Development Center) for more than 2 years. I love the sense of fulfilment volunteering gives me Proud Moment: During my first year in St. Paul, I received an Outstanding Service award during our NSTP graduation

8. The Dark Side… I lack self confidence I tend to envy those who gets ahead of me I tend to overthink things Sometimes I'm a little immature I’m honestly not very good in decision making- but trying my best to improve it I'm doubtful Sometimes jealousy eats my rational side Nobody’s perfect… but these imperfections should be our push to becoming a better person

But after high school, my father demanded I try living in japan for a change I was a working student, stayed there for 3 years straight, but decided I wanted to come back here and enter college I LOVE PHILIPPINES, BUT JAPAN HAD BEEN MY SANCTUARY FOR FREEDOM. I MISS THE PLACE AND MY FAMILY SO MUCH

12. I was 13 when my mom had my brother, hoping I was old enough to be the responsible ‘ate’…. But not really ^.^ Yoshi (my brother) seems to be the mature and responsible one My mother told me how my brother was so proud of me- making me a topic of every essay in his school- that everyone seem to know me even before they even met me Some said, the way he listens to and follow me, we look like mother and son ^.^ SIBLINGS
