Occupation: Assistant General Manager, Hospitality
Vehicle: 2016 Honda Accord Coupe EX

Where were you born and raised? I was born in the capital city of Manila. After spending the first 11 years of my life in the Philippines, my family and I traveled to the states and decided to settle down in Jersey.

Do you have any special skills or hobbies? I have been singing since I was four years old and my mother can’t seem to figure out how to shut me up now. Last winter, I discovered a new love for snowboarding. I spent most weekends ice skating or snowboarding up in the mountains with my friends. Since we’re in the middle of the summer season, part of my to-do list was to play basketball but it’s becoming very difficult to find time for it nowadays. Instead, I have been trying to stay consistent with blogging and practicing photography. Oops, and I forgot to mention that I am also trying to start live streaming video games.

What’s a bad habit you’ve been trying to get rid of? Being a crazy driver! I try my hardest, I swear. I just recently jumped ships and leased a Honda Accord EX equipped with Honda sense. That car is super strict. I can’t even accidentally stray away from my lane without the thing yelling at me. Hopefully, this car trains me to be a better driver.

What’s the most embarrassing thing you've ever done? Pretty much everything I do is embarrassing. Kudos for you if you’re still my friend even after hanging out with me in public. I am seriously the loudest one in the group. I eat like I’ve never seen food in my life and I have the most obnoxious laugh.

Have you ever been friend-zoned? Never! lol It was more like we friend-zoned each other? There was just too many things going on in our lives and so many goals we wanted to achieve first that we unexpectedly came into an agreement that then was not the right time for anything else more than friendship.

Any girl crushes? Forever Kate Beckinsale.

What steps do you take to stay in shape? I’d like to say that I am in shape but honestly, I could really benefit from running a mile or two a day. I love food! Whenever I do decide to take care of my body, I try to eat healthy rather than dieting since I am such a tiny girl to begin with. I just keep count of all the calories I eat and I try to drink lots and lots of water.

What inspires you? I have so many aspirations. I am at a point in my life where I am extra motivated to do whatever it takes to be successful. As I progress in my career in hospitality, I am inspired by the endless possibilities of where my career choice would bring me. All the countries I am able to travel to and the amount of knowledgeable people I will meet and work for, I am excited for it all. I am inspired by what I know I am able to contribute to my family once I start earning a really good income. Ultimately, I am inspired by a vision that I have of what my future can and will be.
