| Introduction | She is a hip hop artist in hiding. She is also a library science major, a bibliophile, and a frustrated beach bum. Movie adaptations of beloved comic book series or books may agitate her unnecessarily. It's no secret that Miao is easily flustered and can be scatterbrained at times, but there are minute parts of her existence that are always highly organized; her digital music collection and the contents of her handbag are examples. These days she spends her time playing Nintendo DS and Sony PSP games, enjoying tabletop games with her friends, and planning her non-traditional wedding. She currently works in Malacanang at the Office of the Press Secretary, and writes for the Philippine Online Chronicles and various other publications in her free time. She also maintains a personal blog consisting of playlists, illustrations, semi-regular video game and comic book reviews, occasional movie and tv show critiques, and the sporadic actual life update. |
