About Me

I was born in the Philippines and came to the states when I was small. I still speak some of my dialect, though I wouldn't say perfectly; and only understand Tagalog. I'm a 27 year old mom of 2, who has been married 5 years. (For those who think they know me, shouldn't be surprised--for those who know the true story, should be shocked.) My two girls are gorgeous and all the love I have in this world. I lived in NJ for a time and I still love the Devils; and the Giants are still my favorite men in tight pants. I don't hate on the Broncos, but I don't cheer either. Sorry! Besides, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but not the New Jersey out of the girl. (Name that musical and you will really peak my interest!) I am an outgoing, strong personality who is too straight forward and loud for her own good most of the time. I'm learning a little bit about tack and timing as I age, but many would argue I'm only saying that. I say what I mean and mean what I say. My father wouldn't put up with anything else! I'm extremely openminded and don't try to sell my opinions, so I'll respect and appreciate yours; I expect the same in return. I do have a bad habit of playing devil's advocate, though, and that gets me into trouble...

My Interests

I'm addicted to make-up, but as of late my official hobby is to scrapbook. (Boring? Not with the cutie pies I have to glue to the page!) When I find that rare moment of time, I still like to write and I'm back to my depressed poetry. I have spent some time reading up on serial killers. It's a true dark side of humanity, so I find the topic darkly fascinating and frightening. On the lighter side, I still love to go out dancing and have fun--completely sober. My rave days are long gone-- though I will say I loved ALMOST every minute of them, but growing up has been an interesting party by itself.

I'd like to meet:

People I haven't talked to in a long time and other Filipinos are my favorites to meet. I understand if I haven't talked to you in long time, it probably my fault, so I hope you forgive me enough to at least say hi. However, I don't just like to add people to have this insane and unrealistic amount of friends. If I don't know you or have known you, chances are slim I'll be adding you to my list.

Music:

At the moment I am back to my sappy lyrical rock stuff, though techno, especially hard house, is still the biggest winner. I still love Madonna, Tori, Janet Jackson, Blackeyed Peas, Celtic music, and a ton of others. Not to mention musicals! Rent is my all time favorite--NOT THE MOVIE!! Rent was written for on stage! Damn it! (Those tickets were some of the best and most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. EVER!!)

Movies:

The Lord of the Rings, Hero, Legend, Willow, Iron Monkey, Fist of Legend, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Reservoir Dogs, Lethal Weapon, (I am a nerd at heart!), Practical Magic, Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Aliens, Sixth Sense-- I have not been lovin' any of the new ones a whole lot.

Television:

Wait! You actually think I have TIME to watch TV? Your funny!

Books:

I am still stuck on non-fiction books about serial killers, but progressing more towards anthropogical topics. Oh, and re-reading the Lord of the Rings. (I did tell you I am a nerd at heart, right?) The Hobbit is still one of my favorites as is Strands of Starlight, which I stole from an old friend. Sorry! You have my number, I'll be more than happy to give your copy back.

Heroes:

Too many of too many different sorts to name them all, though a number of uniforms come to mind.
