I am 21 years old, lives in the island somewhere in northern Cebu. A little shy, with a lot of friends(whom I dearly loved). A family person, and a homebody who loves everything cozy. I am the eldest child, and I am living the pressure of setting a good example for my younger siblings, and yet I love this responsibility. I'm a little too studious for my own liking; I take my studies very seriously which burns me out everytime.

To summarize the kind of person I am, here's my favorite fun fact about meโ I am a Psychology student with an enormous love for words. I have always been a lover of literature, ever since I can remember it. I sneak out books from school library, and remember reading every stories in our English textbooks way before our teacher tells us to.
When I was an elementary student, an English teacher complemented an essay I had made about the origin of my name. She said I would make a great writer in the future. It was there that my long writing journey has started. Ever since then, I forged a reputation of being an essay competitor in my class, I became a student journalist, and I wrote numbers of prose and poetry. Because of my itch to scribble, I have spent most of my life breathing words into paper.
However, โsciencyโ the degree I'm currently taking, I have continued to love words. At the moment, I am member of the school paper publication in my college. I am a Feature writer, which means I get to story tell the whatabouts in our school community-discussing the iceberg's of a trend, undermining a poignant concept, and interviewing prominent people in the institution. Those are some of my responsibilities as a feature writer, by which I am delighted to work on.
I have always been a journal girlie, keeping notebooks every year and filling them with all the breathings of my heart. Last year, I began a new section in my journal, where I have a monthly recap noting all the highlight events, learnings, and intentions for my month.
So much about my love for writing. It has been a dream come true for me to pursue psychology, because I believe that humans are the most complex and interesting thing to study. And I am absolutely right about it, because my brain has been turned upside down since I started this degree. I enjoyed how theoretical our study gets, and every now and then, there are concepts in our subjects that brought me to "aha moments" and eye-opening realizations that revealed so much about our human nature.

Another thing about me is that I enjoyed being anywhere in natureโ a stroll along the woods, chasing sunsets, and a swim by the sea, cannot but heal every part of me. Maybe because I have been surrounded by it growing up, since I have lived my whole entire life in the island (I am my own Moana btw), until I get to moved in a city to pursue my degree.
However, I cannot be away from my family or the island for a month because I literally get sick from feeling homesick. I love frolicking; my dream is to one day pour my heart into my own garden to plant flowers and vegetables. I used to host picnics with my friends as well (back when I was still a freer senior high school student).

As I have mentioned above, I am a two legged bookworm. You cannot ask me my favourite book, because it would be like asking a mother who's her favorite child. All I can say is that I love classic literature (not to be pretentious), especially novels that are written by a woman. Because their works speak more emotional depth to me. My favorite literary heroines are Anne Shirley from Green Gables, Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, and Jo March from Little Women; somehow, they all have this commonalitiesโ strong-willed, stubborn, and book lover women who's feisty and opinionated mind can never be dictated. But I reserved a special place in my heart for the soft and kind ones like Beth, Cinderella, and the little Sarah. Those whose resilience and kindness stood amidst the turmoils and hardship they have experienced. I believe these characters mirror my true essenceโ as I am a combination of these seemingly contrasting qualities. However, for poetry, I enjoyed those that are written by menโ "If" by Rudyard Kipling and "Disederata" by Max Erhman are two of my most favorite poem.
I have tons of insignificant hobbies and interests that take my dilly-dally days from meโ watching cooking vlogs, snorkeling, getting lost in the rabbit hole of Pinterest, conversing with anyone about their lives, writing letters to my friends, watching variety of shows (I love animation btw), talking to older people, constellations, British literature, and many moreโthey have no inherent value for other people, but I dearly enjoy and love doing them regardless of any external factor (I am glad I get to tell it here).

I am introduced to hive, by a sweet natured classmate of mine, miss . The way she told me about how she enjoyed posting her blogs here communicated rays of joys to me. So I joined the hive community because, just like her, I cannot keep my enthusiasm for recording the best and mundane moments in my life. I love keeping records of how I get to spend my days being my truest and most genuine self. Nonetheless, being able to share it here with my fellow hivers makes me happy and giddy. I attended the seminar with Miss
; she comprehensively introduced the systems and guidelines in our navigation towards the hive community, by which I am very grateful about.
