About Me

Graphic Artist. Web Designer. Costume Maker. Cosplayer. Dancer. Frustrated Photographer and Writer. Animal Lover. Self-Proclaimed Vegetarian. Overly-Hygienic. Perfectionist.
I am WRYAN FLORES, but I'm more known by the name "Dukesa" from my ragnarok avatar name. I am a constant day dreamer who likes doing things that would make me grow as an individual. Though I get underestimated most of the time because of my height and all, people are sometimes astonished by how much I can do. I am a walking testimony that looks can be deceiving.
I'm really a totally different person every now and then. Sometimes I'm very refined and matured and lady-like, then I become all giddy and perky and childish... Sometimes I can be very business-like, sometimes very reserved... heh! It's probably just that my mood really swings a lot more than in any person would. Call me moody, I guess that's how I really am. I don't mind to be different from the usual. But NO, I will not consider calling myself eccentric, weird is okay, but never eccentric.
Not only my repertoire is that of the fine arts, it also includes BAKING BROWNIES (which I learned from my mom), DANCING (I was an alumni of the University of the Philippines Social Dance Club) and COSPLAYING (I started in June 2004) which I have found as another vent of artistic expression. I graduated from UP College of Fine Arts in 2003, the place where I saw myself blossomed into something even I wasn't able to predict.
I'm on a freelance job right now... so if there's no project, I'm a total house bum. I live a very boring lifestyle. Most of the time I can be found sleeping, reading a fantasy book, annoying Makz (my cat), thinking & pondering about a lot of things, writing on my pen journal, writing on my LJ & reading friends' LJ, making costume & cosplay accessories, moderating serasera forums & changing layout skins, updating friendster profile, browsing at friends' friendster profile and sending them messages or smilies, updating new art for Sheezyart, joining SA contests, browsing SA friends' gallery, neopets. In addition to that, I am presently devoting much of my time taking care of my newborn baby, Cozette.
Seeing you've gotten this far reading my profile, I say kudos to you! I'm a geek and I love being one. Nothing is going to change my skin.

I love anime! My favorite animes areSailormoon, Fushigi YÃ»gi and Ayashi No Ceres (works by YÃ» Watase), andCard Captor Sakura! but i still like others - so long as its anime! ^_^ And oh! I also like to bake brownies...

...
I can't say I'm a health buff but you'd mostly have difficulty making me eat meat in a row. I glomp vegetables, fruits, bread, and dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese. Calcium and iron rocks!!! I love sea foods especially crabs and shrimps and tuna and fish and crabs and.. and.. and also veggies... mmmmm! mushroom and corn and cabbage and "patani" and... fruits! mango and dalandan and pears and pineapple and grapes and fruit juices and pastries and chocolate cakes and candies and polvorons and gelatines and ice cream and halo-halo (oops! only here in the Philippines! ^_^ ) and honnneeeyyyy!!!!

CHOCO ROLL and CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!!! I'm a Choco Cake addict!

ALSO I LOVE TO COSPLAY!!! YOu can see my cosplay photos here --- Dukesa's Cosplay Blog

I'd rather sleep and sit in front of my laptop rather than do any strenuous activity - with exception to cosplaying that is. Scripts make me go crazy. I like to create forum skin layouts, blog layouts, web pages. I don't go out to bars and clubs, nor go to the mall to watch the latest flicks or shop. I usually shop at ukay-ukays and tiangge shops in my place. I don't follow trend when it comes to fashion. The more unusual cut, the better - and accentuated with rare jewelries made of stones and beads from my personal collection. Majority of my wardrobe are skirts, sweaters and jackets, sleeves tops, a number of high socks, and boots. You just got to love boots!! Thus also makes me such a slave to vanity. You can never make me go out wearing a plain shirt and whatever.

I'd like to meet:

anyone.. weeheheh ^_^ Basta i can have good time with them and of course, same interests, the better for us to get along di ba? especially those who love anime and ragnarok online. ANIME RULES!!!

Music:

The only music I get to listen to so far are Ragnarok Online BGMs ihihihih D but i like mostly those music that I don't understand the lyrics - like JAPANESE and ANIME!! ^___^

When i feel like loosening up i listen to Linkin Park, Matchbox20, Goo Goo Dolls, andBinocular. When I wanna feel sexy I listen to Dido, Jennifer Lopez, and i think i like Mandy Moore too...
But most of the time I just listen to whatever song is on the radio... I'm too lazy to go channel surfing. ~__~

Movies:

Harry Potter( i made that pic - its supposed to be a wallpaper), Lord of the Rings, Matrix Trilogy, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life [basta CG animations], Anime movies - CCSakura the movie, Samurai X: Restoration of the Meiji Patriots, and Metropolis... MJFOX Films like The Frighteners. Moulin Rouge... Little Women [those classic and medieval kinds like Ever After, Zorro, Man in the Iron Mask] and some Chinese Martial Arts film like Crouching Tigerrrr..!!

Television:

i am an Endless Love I & II devotee! I watch it religiously (ehehe as long as there's a channel airing it though ehehe) but I like Winter Sonata more cuz Jun/Joseph, and Raymond are soooo hotta hotta cute! I like telenovelas but just a few (I like Te Amo) and also Meteor Garden I & II, Eternity: A Chinese Ghost Story, and animes... I don't really get to watch television nowadays... i'm stuck with my computer playing and making webbies! ^_^ or I'm just sleeping hehe...

Books:

i am a Mary Higgins Clark fanatic! My favorites among her works are All Around the Town, and My GalSunday. My newest fave author is Shana Abe especially her book "The Last Mermaid". I also like classics - A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnette, The Fountainhead byAynRand... I like books that are investigative, mystery, a lil bit horror, historical, fantasy, mythological, and of course, romantic!
