Me
I am each and all:
God’s child, anal, doggie lover, chicken-vore, pink and blue baby, caring friend, luck magnet, sweets junkie, handy calorie counter, stress ball, compassionate ear, local wanderer, globetrotter.
I love to travel and I wish I could have an endless pit of resources to allow me to do so. I love to go on adventures and I want to try the unconventional.
I am an Iskolar ng Bayan with an undergraduate degree in Economics (2001 – 2005) and hopefully a graduate degree in Development Economics by 2012.
I work for the sole Exchange in the Philippines.
Between you and me though, I wish I could just be a travel agent and an events organizer. 
I am…
seemingly carefree, nonetheless competitive with a heart; quirky and spunky yet somehow still reserved and careful; upbeat and oftentimes spontaneous and impulsive; sappy, sensitive and deep; clingy but ironically independent.
angelic and giving, but can sometimes be dark and naughty; strong and tough but a self-confessed movie crybaby; patient outwardly but irritable inwardly; passionate and hopeful and forever positive and cheerful.
I:
think a lot, daydream a whole lot more; rationalize untoward events and criticize politicians too much; sympathize with the poor, the bereaved, the marginalized and the exploited; wish to empathize with the aforementioned; contemplate if law, politics, foreign affairs and entrepreneurship are possible sub-career paths in the future; name my gadgets Ziggy, Kiss, Edie and Kitten; tie food wrappers into knots before throwing them in the bin; run after the elevator.
Oh and yeah, I wander and I wonder, a lot.
