About Me
"I'm 3/4 Filipina and 1/4 Chinese. I grew up in the Philippines, but was actually born in Hong Kong. My family moved to Los Angeles, CA when I was 5 years old, and I've been here ever since. Believe it or not, I attended Catholic school. I guess it's true what they say about being cooped up with strict rules, you go buck wild!!! Anyhow I was never shy, actually, I've always been exceptionally friendly. I was always the most talkative one in class, I could never help getting in trouble. There was never a dull moment in school. Then came high school. Finally no more uniforms! I attended Hoover High in Glendale, CA. I don't really have that much to say about school because I ditched. Ha ha, yup. My friends and I always found something better to do. Be it hanging out watching soap operas or gossiping the whole day, as long as it wasn't in class. I had to buy merits to graduate. I either had to do after school clean up or sell tickets. I took the tickets, about $350.00 worth of tickets. I hit the epitomy of laziness when instead of selling the tickets, I bought all my tickets. My parents had a hard time with it though. Boy did they have a hard time. Hey what can I say I was a teenager. However my mother never let my mischief go unpunished. She was exceptionally strict with boys (what mom wasn't!) Overall they knew I was a good kid, a bit of a screw ball, but they knew I was no criminal. I was 20 years old when I started modeling. They both had heart failure when they realized what I did. I was certain they would chop me up to little pieces and send me to Timbuktu. Thank God they didn't. It had to be some kind of a divine intervention that I'm still here. My first modeling experience was for a calendar shoot. It was a calendar for colored women. I guess it was flattering that I was picked for the project, but I felt quite awkward. I worked with two of the other models. And my jaw dropped straight to the ground when I saw them. They were both golden brown with booty for days and I felt so pale and figureless. The second calendar I did which was 1999 Pacific Coast Happas was the one that introduced me to the import scene. The company was promoting it in car show events and that's how people got to know me. I loved the response I got and that's why I continue to model. I've started to branch out in different sectors in the modeling industry. Then I started to get into glamour photography, working with different magazines. It made me so happy seeing my pictures published. I called all my friends and told them to go check out the news stands. I never thought I would make a living doing what I love do. I don't even consider it a job. It's tooo much fun to be considered work.
