Who said I can't be SUPERMAN? I say I can.

About Me


this layout is from whateverlife.com!JUST ME
THIS IS MY FIANCE, MY BEST FRIEND: MARK ALLEN
ME AND ROSIE
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE: ME AND RITIKA
haha, in high school we called ourselves CRAZY SEXY COOL
SISTERS FOR LIFE: Christine and I
COWORKERS!: Me, Mina and Beverly
I'm Filipina and barely 5 feet SHORT. I'm 26 years old! It takes some getting used to =) My current contribution to the world is in the form of soothing cries, swaddling babies, feeding, wiping poop, dealing with parents both kind and annoying, hanging IV bags, giving shots (while trying not to look at the cute lil' chubby face screaming at me), turning off alarms that continue to ring in my head on the drive home, and just giving of myself each and every day. This is aka NURSING, Pediatric nursing to be exact =). I love kiddies! They make me laugh and learn not to take life so seriously.
When I'm not working, I enjoy relaxing, SLEEPING!, and hanging out with my favorite people. These people would be my boyfriend ALLEN, the roomies of 6360, my wonderful friends (especially the old skewl ones), and family.
Currently, I am really trying to make changes in my life. I wanna be a better person, to myself and to others. I like to think I'm a simple person, but I know I'm not. I CRAVE a simple life, but sometimes it's hard to achieve. I can be drama, I am and probably always WILL BE a HUGE worrywart, and I am a KICKASS daughter. I definitely aim to work on my drama-ness and my worrywart quality. I'm also striving to love myself, to be happy with who I am and what I have, but that's EASIER SAID THAN DONE! I'm just trying to take one day at a time.

My Interests

CHITOWN
Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
I enjoy reading books and watching TV and movies (when I get the chance). There's also funtimes when hanging out with my bf, friends, and family. I would LOVE to travel all over the world, and have already enjoyed visits to the Philippines, Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, MIAMI and NYC! Hopefully many more trips to come, especially my ultimate goal to see EUROPE! I love spending time with kids, as well as doing artsy fartsy stuff when I'm in the mood. I also love taking pictures and posting/printing pictures galore. When I have time, I enjoy experimenting with different things to cook and bake. Last but not least, I love snow and I love DISNEYLAND! =)

Movies:

Disney movies of course, like Mulan and Finding Nemo. I also like chick flicks, even predictable and corny ones--I'm a hopeless romantic in that sense. Although highly amusing, I enjoy Filipino movies as well. I especially love it when they start speaking really deep Tagalog and you look over to your mom and she says, "I don't know." LOL.

Television:

One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, Top Chef, Real World, Grey's Anatomy. Now that I have my own place, I'm loving my CABLE and my DVR! I'm a CSI fanatic, but it has caused me to be scared to be home alone, HAHA that's what I get =P I also love 24 and LOST.

Books:

Anything by Jane Green or Amy Tan, To Kill A Mockingbird, Memoirs of a Geisha, Harry Potter series. If you're in the medical field, or have experienced having a loved one be hospitalized, My Sister's Keeper is a MUST. It's very moving and eye opening.

Heroes:

My Lolas (Grandmas)! My middle name is actually a combination of both my Lolas' names: Mercedes and Aniceta = my middle name MERANI. I've always loved my middle name, and now that I'm older, I appreciate it because it represents two strong, beautiful women who give/gave to their children and families with unconditional love. My Nanang (grandmother on Mom's side) passed before I turned 18 and raised me for most of my childhood. I learned most of my Tagalog from her! We would watch WWF together, haha! My Lola (dad's side) passed away just this December. I love both my LOLAS and they're probably playing BINGO in heaven rite now and livin' it up! =)
