Hi, I’m Malou. I’m 18 and a student living in Cebu. I'm fond of wearing guys shirt, so basically I'm one of the boys. I am a fan of photography, music, and reading. I’m also interested in writing and basketball. You can view my photos with a click on the button above.

I was in 3rd year high school when I started playing basketball during inter high, and I find it so cool and fun! But basically, Motocross is my first love but due to financial problem, I quit. So I engage myself to basketball. Both of my parents are not supportive when it comes to this sport because I have an asthma, but it's not contagious. And because I'm stubborn, I keep playing. At first, I violate a lot of rules because I really don't know how to play! All I know is that, you have to shot the ball! But its not just about it, as I undergo a lot of games and training, I had learned that basketball is way more than that. Its about how you are determined enough to reach the peak of your goal- to win for your team. So now, I can say that I had improved and I am happy for it. Well, I still have to attend trainings because I am still not good enough.

My greatest dream is to touch lives because of my passion and goals. Though I still have to eat a lot of rice, I know I'll reach that point someday :)

Writing and photography, however, are my favorite past time activity. It seems like pens and cameras are calling out for me, so why not grab it? I had joined a Slam Poetry Competition held at my school recently, and guess what? My piece had won the 3rd place and me, as the performer, got 3rd placer too :) ! Not bad for a beginner, eh?

I'm stubborn, but I'm friendly. Super. I'm "maldita" but I have a kind heart. My family is my inspiration :) Bahala nag wala ko'y makaon, basta sila makakaon lang. I am such a happy-go-lucky person and I don't have a boyfriend (maybe because of my suplada aura plus boyish personality).
