    ABOUT ME.


    open mind. open heart. easily inspired. need to create. encourager but not a flatterer. intuitive. absolutely in love with life's many PERSPECTIVES. a go-getter. anticipating life's next punchline. my dog says hi.banana and mayonnaise. unretired myspace addict.


    WITH FRIENDS.

    "show me your friends and i'll tell you who you are."
    i like giving people a chance to be a friend - because everyone (including me) has baggage. kinda like that thing teachers did: "you start off with an A" deal. hence, its pretty easy for me to call you a friend. all it takes is a simple hello. by the second time we meet, if by some odd reason we remember each other's name, then, i consider you a friend of mine. seriously.


    WITH PEOPLE.

    i am the type of person who likes looking into your eyes in conversation. i was not always like this. it was at some random point in my adolescent days, that i enjoyed this kind of connection. some find this situation with me to be a little uncomforable...lol. don't worry...i'm not in love with you :)

    i just like the purity of seeing people. i like to give people my undivided attention when i look at you because you are all experts at living to me and have experiences i wanna learn from.


    WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET.

    anyone who isn't afraid to take a chance. anyone who doesn't believe in wasted time. anyone whose passion includes bringing positivity to people's dreams.


    MY HOPE.

    to be creative for the rest of my life // to be creative with the rest of my life


    WHAT ARE YOU?

    i get this question a lot and it confuses me as to what they're referring to. because for some reason, my brain follows that question with the quote, "...some kind of monster." i don't know if i heard it from a movie...eh.

    anyway, i am filipina with a tiny bit of spaniard.

    I SAW YOU ON _____'S FRIENDLIST? ARE YOU FAMOUS?

    no. just computer-geeky enough to catch people's attention.

    DO YOU HAVE AIM?

    yes i do. but i only have like 30 people on my BL. i don't give out my AIM SN.

    DO YOU HAVE MYSPACE IM?


    if you see me on, feel free to say hello (sn: claire_e).

    I DON'T SEE YOU ON? WHEN ARE YOU ON MYSPACE?

    really? hit refresh and check again. as one myspace friend put it, "i see you're not offline again."

    WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS ON?

    surprisingly, all my work is myspace-related.

    ARE YOU SINGLE?

    by this, if you mean whether or not i'm two people, the answer is yes i'm not two people.

    HAVE YOU BEEN DESIGNING FOR A LONG TIME?

    no, i was a dancer/choreographer and just got into designing around the time i started myspace.

    WHY HAVEN'T YOU RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL?

    i enjoy hearing from you guys and i respond to as much as i can. please be patient w/ me and refrain from negative comments if i haven't replied to you yet. if there's anything i will NEVER do is reply to you with words of negativity. i counter negativity w/ silence. that's how i am in real life so i won't be any different here. im not gonna be bolder here just because its the internet and i can't see your face. thanks to those who've been understanding.

    DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL FOR WHAT YOU DO?

    i did not take any classes for this stuff. not to say you shouldn't, i just didn't. i'm highly experimental and that seems to be enough. what i didn't learn in school, i made up for in my own mistakes...hehe. but if someone out there wants to mentor or fine-tune me, im down :)

    YOU SEEM ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHAT DO YOU WANNA BE?!?!

    i have an OVERLY-indulgent attitude when it comes to creativity. i sometimes confuse this passion for my heartbeat. that would probably explain why it seems that i'm all over the place. in fact, i wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what i want to be in this life because i do not want to focus everything i am towards one ideal. i don't intend to be one thing. i just wanna keep moving.

    HOW ARE YOU?

    i am fine.

    Hello Ms. Claire, First, Thank you for the add. I'm fairly new to this MYSPACE. However, i try to think of myself as a quick learner type of guy. when i first got on myspace your profile was the ONE that inspired me to get into this. i have to thank you, claire. Still, to this day, i have never read anyone's page from beginning to end...damn, i don't even think i've read my own all the way through. your profile is you, and only you. not about all these crazy shout outs and bling junk. nothins wrong with the bling junk, i'm just tired of seeing it. I became your friend a few weeks ago when your site had YOU singin SUNDAY MORNIN. i loved it!! send me your version!please! anyway, your profile showed a personal side that u share, and it glows. your commitment to help others is AWSOME! believe it or not, i think of you whenever i see a new artist on here tryin to make a dream come true. i'm just learning how to design my own page, and i've gotten a few compliments. i even helped out with designing a couple of unsigned artist (for free). hit me up sometime, and SEND MY SONG! MY Profile is more about the street business, and where i came from and went through before and during college. my street smarts comes from my uncles, and father. the college boy experience is MOMMY all the way. so i got the best of both worlds for real. but this is about YOU and how you inspire people. if you can inspire me, an ex pimp / businessman to open up a little and be a better human, you are an ANGEL in my book.
    Stay Pure.
    peace, love
    D'Nero

    THIS IS MY MYSPACE STORY...YUP I HAVE ONE
    one day, and i made a promise to follow our dreams. in this promise we each wrote where we saw ourselves in 5 years. i wrote: help 10 people accomplish their dreams. i struggled with the number before committing to it because i thought, how am i ever gonna pull that off when dreams are such big things to one person let alone 10?
    in 2004, one of them said, "why don't you join myspace?" i was like, "no." then i did anyway because i remembered the time the words "i don't need email" came from my mouth. started checking out people's profiles and thought it was cool that you could customize your profile by learning those code thingies. using what little photoshop knowledge i developed from trying to help my friends so they could concentrate on their music, and with no html knowledge, i started by learning the IMG SRC code and was so proud of myself when the link actually worked. i went bananas i say.
    so it began. this intense curiosity with design. i started looking up band postings of gigs on their bulletins and pretended like they actually asked me to design a flier for them. if I liked it enough, id send it to them. sometimes but not always, they'd use it.
    out of the blue, messages me and asks if i can help him make his page like how i had mine. one night he told me that i should keep going with this myspace designing stuff cuz he had a good feeling about it. so serious was he that he even came up with this whole business plan for me to think about.
    later, says, "check this person out on myspace...her outlook reminds me of you only you're more inward." so i read through her profile and think she is fascinating. i send her a message to tell her so. suddenly finding some guts somewhere, i say 'wth' and tell her in a p.s. email, "im just gonna go ahead and design a page for you and if you like it, you can use it."
    loved it. this was in 2005.
    and the rest is...now. for as long as ive made designing a part of my life, ive been on myspace. and in a sense, if you've been keeping up with me on here, you have been a part of it. a special thanks to the aforementioned - you should know that you are everything this page is.
    so, i couldn't say my dream is to design for the rest of my life because its not. design has become this way i thankfully stumbled upon to help friends explain their dreams. that by putting it in pretty-picture form, whoever sees it will understand it and give them a chance.
    check out some of my favorite creations since joining myspace. just mouse-over the thumbnails at the top of my page.
