Introduction A free spirit. A good soul. A rebel for a good cause. Trying to make a mark in a field that is leaking of testosterone. Defines success in an unpopularly different way. Has a primal love of nature, music and entertainment. Afraid of heights, but loves being on top of mountains. Gets a certain high watching sunsets or any captivating scenic spot. Finds the rain romantic. Constantly seeking for change. Loves seeing new places, trying new food, meeting new people. Feels the need to get together with old friends on a regular basis. Loves to laugh, mababaw ang kaligayahan. Clumsy kahit hindi lasing. Started keeping a journal at age 8. A good conversationalist, can talk to almost anybody, about anything under the sun. A hopeless romantic. A fighter. Intuitive. Has photographic memory. Open minded. Considers family and friends as my life’s greatest treasures. Believes that in the absence of faith, hope, or love, nothing in this world is worth fighting for.
