GIVE ME FIVE things you can’t live without.



My computer tablet, because that’s where I draw;

My Starbucks- ‘yun ‘yung gasolina ko talaga ‘pag sunud-sunod ‘yung taping;

My family, kahit hindi ko man sila kasama dito, they’re always in my mind, kahit sa phone lang, kahit sa video chat, they have to be present. Hindi sila puwedeng mawala.

The Lord, his guidance and his blessings, kasi lahat ng ito, kahit iniisip natin na may mga masamang nangyayri sa buhay natin, at that time it might be the worst of the worst, pero we don’t realize that all those things happen for a reason.

The last thing I can’t live without is respect for myself, kasi everyone needs that. Kung ikaw mismo, hindi mo kayang respetuhin ‘yung sarili mo, hindi mo kayang mahalin ‘yung sarili mo, mahirap magmahal ng ibang tao.

GIVE ME FIVE of your favorite movies.



Ang dami, eh. I’m such a movie buff, ang dami kong paborito na ang hirap mamili. I like What Dreams May Come, it’s a really nice movie. August Rush…ang dami eh, kasi I love everything from comedy to action, sci-fi, drama, lahat nagugustuhan ko. Ang hirap mamili, di ko ata magagawa. Too many to mention (laughs).

GIVE ME FIVE ways to get noticed by your crush.



Sobrang baduy ko dati nung high school. Medyo madaya din ako kasi I draw and I paint. Dinadaan ko sa ganun, pero hit and miss pa rin. May pa-drawing drawing pa ako, kunwari comics na ‘yung cartoon character ‘yung nanliligaw sa babae, tapos sa end, may dialogue na “I think you should go with Tom to Prom”, ganun. Napakacheesy ‘pag naiimagine ko ngayon! Sometimes, ise-sketch ko rin sila.
