"We do not realize that LOVE is just a further impetus,
not something that will prevent us going forward.
We do not realize that those who genuinely wish us well
want us to be HAPPY and are prepared
to accompany us on that JOURNEY."
- from "The Alchemist"

oF HeArT & sOuL



I am: a hopeless romantic, loving, passionate, independent, sincere, well-grounded, friendly, loyal, open-minded, socially-concious, generous, thoughtful, emotional, stubborn, curious, complex, and imperfect.

I am a: daughter, sister, granddaughter, godmother, aunt, friend, lover, partner, dreamer, believer, worker, mother-hen to my barkada... and i will be many more in the years to come.

I believe in: GOD, love, friendship, the goodness of man, miracles of every waking day, taking risks, loving the same person the second, third, & nth time around, forgiving, & giving others a chance. I believe in myself, my dreams & my passions.


I value: human life & all of God's blessings, the good in every man, independence & self-sufficiency, humility & charity, freedom & democracy, honesty & integrity.


Three virtues we should all acquire: unconditional love, compassion, & forgiveness.

The two things that amaze me: the human body & the great architecture of the universe.

The two greatest mysteries to me: the simple and complex dynamics between life and love.

The one thing I will never stop pursuing: to be the best person I can be.

The one thing nothing and no one can take away from me: my ability to love over and over again, however much pain I encounter, which stems from my great faith in Him.

The one thing not too many people know about me: I have a blog.

The one thing I wish I wasn't: allergic to alcoholic drinks.

My two favorite comfort food: chicken adobo and sinigang na spare ribs with lots of gabi.

My two therapeutic outlets: reading a good book and listening to music.

My two greatest passions: love and the pursuit of knowledge.

The mantra I live by: To live well, love much, laugh often, and love much, much more.

Three successful (living) people I admire: Jennifer Lopez (for her business-sense), Oprah Winfrey (for her passion to succeed and compassion for others), and Angelina Jolie (for her courage and devotion to her work as a United Nation Ambassador of Goodwill).

If I were to freely choose and practice an alternative career, I would: be a physician... that's my only choice.


Two more things I miss: I miss being a student (back to school next year, yehey!!!) and my life in the Philippines (with friends and family that I adore so much).
