PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY THE NAME
& yes, my real name really is Marizen, but the stage name (for open mic & spoken word slam events) is Rizen. so c'mon, say it w/ me now...
Mare + iz + in = MARiZEN
=D GOOD JOB! see, that wasn't hard at all! AND by saying it correctly, you have just given back to humanity by contributing to the preservation of natural beauty! =D but seriously though, first names are first impressions, so please don't make the name ugly! =) thanks. well, now that that's outta the way, here's the real bio...
i was born in the motherland (Philippines) but i grew up in South City. i came here when i was only 4 & i JUST turned 25, so i'm pretty much a "coconut"-- ya know, brown on the outside but white on the inside. (ya, i know. not very funny. well, maybe to some people, but whatever) unfortuantely, i can't speak a lick of & barely even understand my native tongues (Tagalog & Ilokano). but i can say that i've at least made an attempt to learn about my culture, & that's due to the fact that i LOVE to learn and/or experience new things, although there are some things that i would never ever do/eat, like dogs. yes, i said dogs. & yes, Filipinos are known to eat dogs. damnit, who in the hell was the nasty ass Filipino to start that trend? no, wait. who was the friend that actually let him?? the friend is the one who needs to get smacked! haha j/k anyways! let's see... i try to see something for what it's really worth, instead of just assuming its face value. =) another cool Marizen fact of the day: i am very very very picky--- EXTREMELY picky, actually but i just like to call it "CHOOSEY" because I CHOOSE who i want, when i want, where i want, what i want, and how i want things done in MY life so get it straight: i run on MY time honey, NOT yours. & i don't really care if it'll please you or not, because it ain't about you, sweetie--- IT'S ALL ABOUT ME. shiiit... & that's just bein' confident baby, not cocky. (oohwee! did ya hear the collar pop? haha) well, you can more than likely expect to catch me in something that's cute AND matching. =) (hey, i'm just tryin' to give you somethin' a little more... aesthetically pleasing to the eye, so why not? haha =D) BUT don't let the capris & heels fool ya--- i mean, i may scream bloody murder when i break a nail, & would forever prefer it if someone else takes out the garbage, but i'm definitely NOT the typical girly-girl, fem-fem. shiiit... i am NOT afraid to get down & dirty. i will try rock climbing a cliff w/ you, & even get under a hood, like i was "one-of-the-guys," for some car maintenance training. (especially if it's a MUSCLE car! hehe gotta love the sound of a REAL man's engine) i don't get offended w/ belching, spitting, or cursing. i can probably put some of my guy friends to shame in any of those areas. =P haha but speaking of friends... well, you can pretty much find me w/ people who have their heads on straight & like to enjoy life as much as i do. my friends are nothing but intelligent, positive people who love to laugh & clown around. & my family... well, what else can i say but i LOVE them. all of them, but esp. my baby brother Xander aka THE CUTEST LITTLE BOY IN THE WORLD. =) he is my heart, & he is gonna be the one to take over the world one day. haha oh, & my close friends are also considered part of "my extended family" so don't... well, just don't fuck w/ the fam-bam & we should be good. =) (c'mon, that's just an written rule right there!) oh yeah! one more thing: don't forget to check out my homegirl
UTOPIA aka THE BEST BRAIDER in The Bay
she will definitely hook you up w/ some CLEAN ass braids. i mean, if you're gonna get G'd up from the feet up, you might as well have the best braids! feel me??? haha seriously though, Utopia really is THE BEST BRAIDER. i swear, i REFUSE to go to anyone else. (damn, already givin' away free endorsements.. haha j/k!)
well, thanks to whoever is actually still reading this, (you do love me, don't ya? i knew it! haha) but i think that's all you really "need to know" for now. the rest you're just gonna have to find out on your own. =) (but that is NOT an invitation to the ugly. haha only the beautiful! haha i'm j/k. seriously though: "stalker status" on myspace is NOT PIMPIN'! haha) later for you.
