About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Expand my horizons! :)

ABOUT ME

An introvert dreamer and wanderer who tries to decipher what this life is all about and what she can do to make a difference.
***
Loves to spend time alone, do new hobbies, meet new people and/or reunite with the old, and learn from them.
***
Tends to be a listener on first few encounters with new people, but really talkative (sometimes tactless) with those she knows for long.
***
Thinks (and sometimes overthink) about a lot of things and sometimes find it hard to express these to words. She's really paranoid to and can't get over things (not boys) easily!
***
Spiritual but not religious.
***
Can I share bout things I can live without? :)

1. Cellphone/Computer/Tablet
2. Internet
3. Car.
4. A decent bed.
5. Sumptuous meal
6. News!

You can take her to the mountains or any secluded area and she'd be fine without these things.

PHILOSOPHY

For things, people, and circumstances that you can do nothing about.. just let them be.

***
I also concur with the following words by my idol, amanda palmer. "trying" to live by these:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a year of homebased work! This freelance job made me realize a lot of things and reunites me with my "inner" self.

Finally did my first solo backpacking in Mountain Province, Philippines. 'twas the best!

Through this platform, i have met and have been inspired by lotsamazing souls, that i would not find if i stick with my office job and my comfort zone. This community is one of the best that happened in my 2013.
