The first impression I usually give to others is how strong my personality is. That's true. I'm independent and I like making my choices the way that I think it ought to be made but I'm never harsh if undeserved. I respect people for what they think, feel and who they are.

I would like to think that I'm a fair person, I believe in giving chances because I expect the same thing in case I mess up. I do mess up, oftenly too. I'm not perfect, in fact, I'm far from it. I'm...quite ordinary, really.

I like books, and what I'd like even better is more time to read all the books I want! I enjoy (I can't live without) music and dancing. I love to dance. There's so much profound beauty and sensuality in movement that it just can't be captured in verse.

I'm a philosopher by heart, but there's a little "light blonde" girl persona hidden inside there too, because I enjoy having fun and laughing with loved ones, family and friends.

In most cases, I like being busy and working, in fact I absolutely abhor being bored...but I'm also not against a lazy weekend spent at home just lounging in bed.

I think I'm pretty extraordinary that way...but I know I'm pretty ordinary too.

Working at finally balancing my private life and work. I like living life to the fullest, but I also believe that work challenges me personally in a very huge way.

Did I mention that I'm competitive? I'd like to think that I do this for a higher purpose...I just don't like disappointing family and friends and as much as possible, I would do anything to keep them and myself happy.

At the end of the day, no matter how successful a person is, the single most gratifying and crucial thing is to feel appreciated, loved and wanted. Hands down, no competition - I'd rather go home knowing that I'll get a warm, honest to goodness hug than look at a big wall filled with inanimate trophies.

Cooking up schemes, it really is in my job description. What I do at work.
At least I think so, anyway, you'd have to ask my boss to get confirmation :)

My eyes. People usually think I'm a snotty girly-girl (which can be fun, mind you). But it may very well just be the eyebrows, or the way my eyes are slanted, maybe even how I hold myself upright when I sit or walk. What's surprising is that since I grew up with 3 brothers, I'm a girl who's comfortable in wearing either rubber shoes and jeans or stilettos and a little black dress.

music: rock, emo, rnb, sentimental, classical and techno.

movies: a lot. I mostly like action, suspense, adventure, sci-fi and a few chick-flicks. It's silly I know, but horror movies still give me nightmares.

food: mostly filipino, american, italian and greek food (opa!)

books: 48 laws of power by robert greene, dan brown of course, anne rice, stephen king, autobiographical books, fiction, magazine articles about health, science, literature, news, biographies, everything...if there are no more books in the world but the dictionary, I'd take that very happily.

music. water. weekends. shampoo. sleep. hugs. Deprive me of those and you'll end up with a cranky half-shell of a human being.

They ought to really make this 10. 7 would be an wifi-connected computer/laptop, 8 is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, 9 is my ipod and 10 is tongue-scaldingly hot coffee.

the world
people - why they do the things they do
the difference that I can make in this world
what to cook tomorrow
what series to finish next
what to do with my projects
what will people do next - what motivates them
what makes some of my best bosses tick
what to do to get what I want at work (I run a lot of projects and have only 1 assistant, thus my work depends on how efficient I am at influencing others)
politics - office and world politics
sharks - these animals are just amazing!
religion and philosophy
science
what to do next - bucket list number 20?
people and sex - the games that they have to play, how enoyable and sometimes painfully useless it all is
why coffee makes my blood hum
why listening to Chopin clears my brain while rock music relaxes me
why I hate sappy songs, but I need to listen to them when it's raining
why dancing makes passion soar and bass makes my body turn cravenly to movement
why humans weren't created to be happy with just 3 hours of sleep - why did we have to have a full 8 hours..or why the world wasn't meant to have 40 hours a day so I can do everything that I want and need to do AND still get sleep?!

all that good and weird stuff...too much to think about eventually too much to feel.

at work, either fully energized because it's a friday and I'm so looking forward to Saturday or I'm zapped out of energy and can't wait until Saturday.

On social weekends:
Friday night = work late, finish everything
Saturday night = if the mood strikes then party hard, go home Sunday morning or if the opportune moment presents itself, I go on a date.
Sunday morning = breakfast straight from the club, hot coffee over good conversation with friends, then sleep (if clubbing).

On seemingly antisocial weekends:
Friday night = work late, finish everything
Saturday = turn of blackberry, go home to the province to hibernate with parents, brothers and my adorably tyrannical nephew
Sunday = Have lunch with extended family. Fun, Laughter, Stories and Family should always spend Sunday together.

...
I love my life :)

You've read this far.
You're looking for a friend, a confidante, a stranger to sympathize with, or actually interested in me as a person.
You're nice, honest, of sound mind, and have a kind personality.

Please do NOT message me if you're looking for a one-night-stand, or some creepy chat game, or if you're just playing. I hate games, but I can play a mean mind-game if you don't heed being forewarned.

Other than that...I normally don't bite :)
