"You could write a story about a rock or an empty soda can in a heartbeat!"

That's according to my friends and colleagues when I was working as a television reporter and feature programs producer. While they were right about that, I always find it challenging to write about myself. But here goes...

Most of my friends and family think I'm nice, smart, creative, honest, dedicated and hard working (it's true! I have a full list of these wonderful attributes on Facebook because I asked them to help me know ME...haha!)In addition to these qualities, I'm open-minded, sensitive, tactless, funny and feisty; I have OCD tendencies, have 86 food allergies and intolerances (gluten, dairy, eggs, ginger, cauliflower...you get the point).As much as I annoy my loved ones with unsolicited advice, I am a good listener. I love writing and am observant, curious and opinionated. I'm quite creative. I enjoy making photo collages and painting. As an Apple convert (thanks to hubby!), I For now, I create a lot of art to decorate our home since my hubby and I just got married in June 2015. I love cats (highly allergic to them too!) but, after Cinammon died in August, I just decided to not have cats for awhile. I love fried chicken and eat it almost every day! I'm a truffle fries expert and just crazy about food in general (a lot!).

I have always dreamed of traveling the world and learning about different cultures. While I was born and raised in the Philippines until I was 23, it was in Dubai that I grew up. I lived for thirteen years. So far, I have seen the UAE, some parts of Kenya, Florida, Vietnam and Indonesia. I'm currently living in Singapore.

I believe in living life to the fullest and have a varied work experience from telecommunications to hospitality, theatre and media.

So in a nutshell, I'm a citizen of the world, a dreamer and an avid life traveler.
