I'm a 24 year old downtown girl who tries to be busy with anything she can put her hands on. Frustrated photographer, nocturnal, loves to read, try out foods, coffee addict and lunatic. I'm an occasional OC and has the tendency to have short term memory loss. I am a very pleasant person, that is with the right approach. I maintain a number of blogs, depending on the main topic of the blog that I write and on the network of friends.

I love traveling but monetary issues are restraining me from going far. So I'd like to make my goals realistic and at least visit a place here in the Philippines that I've never been to.

I just love snail mails! There was a time that I would send my officemates letters even if we meet each other everyday. Also, I used to have penpals when I was in first year college but regretfully discontinued due to hectic schedule for studies. But I still keep the cards and the letter. It just brings back smiles everytime I see them.

I have special appreciation with Japanese stuffs! I love eating Japanese food and enjoy watching their dorama and movies though I don't speak the language. I have tried making origami (just the simple ones you do as a kid) and loves chopsticks! I already have three, I know it's a slow collection but all I see are disposable chopsticks.

I'm an Aries so I love shades of red. I'm not really girly and I love wearing jeans and tees though I wear skirts and tank tops once in a while. I love black mostly but I also like to surround myself with colors. I adore earth tones and warm tones from brown, green, yellows to lavender and pink. I don't like the shades in bright shocking neon colors except of course with post its and pens. Those are the only things I allow anything bright, for reminder purposes. I like the shape of stars, moons, and leaves. I also love the swirls and curves of vein like artwork, stripes and dots and of course coffee marks. I love lip balm, nail polish, eye liner and mascara. I also love the scents Clinique Happy Heart or something like that.

I also like small things. It's a wonder how I find it useful with small things. Plus I tend to bring a lot of stuffs in my bag so little things are easy to carry and as they say, "little things meant a lot."

I also love wearing bracelets and earrings and some anklets. And I am fascinated with mood rings. I am an easy to please person and tend to smile on the simplest things. A lovely splash of colors of sunsets, a leaf on the water or the moonlight can easily bring a smile in my face.

I live in the Philippines so I ship my items airmail in batches, if you haven't received yours and others have received theirs, please allot two to four more weeks waiting period before doing anything drastic. And remember, a PM will always be appreciated. Thank you!

Amelie, Tesis, Labyrinth, Edward Scissorhands, The Craft, LOTR, The Matrix Trilogy, Batman, Ringu, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction.

I love whimsical movies. I also love watching indie films and art films.

Currently into crocheting, have tried beading, cross-stitch, embroidery and hand sewing. Plans to learn silk screening, rubber stamp making knitting and hopefully looming with a weavette. I have also collected stamps and postcards and cook local dishes every now and then.

I read romance pocketbooks once in a while but I love Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Coraline and some short stories in the Smoke and Mirrors compilation. I also like Anne Rice's book and A Catcher in the Rye. Bob Ong is one of my favorite local writers. I also have an ongoing manga collection of Death Note.
