I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Avelyn.. and I'm a girl. (No, not yet a woman.) ;)
Let's see.. I really don't know where to start.. I guess, I'm a full-blooded Filipina. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I came to the US when I was ten years old. Now, at 17, I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going with my life.. but it doesn't mean things shouldn't be interesting along the way.
I have a weird habit of waking up too early and still getting to places late.. among them would be my school.
I'm currently a senior at Edwin G. Foreman High School. I like being involved in my school - and I guess it shows. I'm a senior editor and the webmaster of our school newspaper, the Hornet Buzz. I'm a part of the school band (I play the flute.) I'm also a former staff member of the school's JROTC program, the president of the Asian Club, current member of the Drama Club and the Video Club.
I guess it's just a part of my enthusiasm of learning more about the big old world around me.. to an extent.
I've been told that I'm one of the biggest underachievers in the world. Well, personally, I think that's just a pretty big word for lazy - and I admit, I could get pretty bummy at times. It's just one of my many moods, I suppose. I could be the most unnervingly quiet or in-your-face hyper loud at a drop of a pin.
It all depends on what interests me on a particular day.
Speaking of interests.. I'm always interested in meeting new people and making new friends. I also have a thing for a quirky sense of humor or gaining another perspective of life. If you're bored - like me - and/or still reading this, well, feel free to drop me a line.
Just be sure to inroduce yourself and I'll have no problem sharing some of my weirdness.
:]

My Interests

randomness, useless trivia, being there for someone, corny jokes, laughing, "unnecessary roughness" (haha!), my family and friends, trying new cuisines, meeting new people, making new friends, and yeah. :p

I'd like to meet:

Someone.. who'd be willing to share or teach me something new,
someone.. with a sense of humor,
someone.. with a passion to share their in-born gift,
someone.. with a big heart to reach out to others,
someone.. like you!

Whether you believe in him or not.. This is a very powerful message in this skit. This is set to the song "Everything" by Lifehouse.

Music:

i like listening to a variety of music.. but it mainly depends on my mood..

Movies:

secondhand lions, the lake house, enchanted, how to lose a guy in ten days, g.i. jane, back to the future trilogy, all harry potter movies, the lord of the rings trilogy, bad boys one and two, ella enchanted.. there's more to list..

Television:

heroes, whose line is it anyway?, smallville, that 70's show, the simpson's, family guy, the first two seasons of grey's anatomy..

Books:

poetry books..

Heroes:

god, my mom and dad, the soldiers at war and the everyday people who conquer the personal battles within themselves..
