About Me

LOVE Coffee Bean's Double Vanilla Tea Latte. =)I think I'm basically a nice person (Harharhar!!!) but I do have a tendency to appear apathetic. I thrive under stress, and I can't stand staying home on vacation for more than 2 weeks.I admit I'm very picky when it comes to my friends and the people I hang out with. Call me a snob or whatever, and I'll accept it as a compliment. I'm so mean, or so apathetic, to people I don't like or couldn't care less about but when I love, I love. And that's it. I'm very loyal to the people I care about, sometimes even to a fault.I know my place in the world. Although I indulge my ego sometimes, I basically know my limitations, or at least I'd like to believe I do. =pThe only New Year's resolution I've ever successfully lived up to is to swear off softdrinks (6 years and counting...).I'm SUPER O.C., and my friends can attest to that. In my world, there is always a time and a place for everything.I eat really slow for some reason, buti na lang friends kami ni Lianne, and I get bored really easily (READ: REALLY short attention span), so I doodle and space out a lot during class, except Crim subjects. Atty.Ibarra (Yes, the son of the famous Venus Ibarra, DBA of Ateneo Accounting fame.), my college Negotiable Instruments professor, once told me I'm on my way to becoming a very good gangster, and for some reason, I still believe I [email protected]
