ABOUT ME

Hello im Lyra!!
Im a student living on and off in Manila, Philippines, and around the United States. I am an undergraduate studying in the Philippines, and at times am abroad visting family in the United States or Central America. If you pass by where i am at.. i would love to have coffee with you and give you suggestions on anything you wanna know, with what i know. However at this point i cannot host, becuase i am jumping from house to house and sometimes dont have a bed myself! As soon as i settle down with one, my doors are open.

And accepting anybody for who they are, no matter how dizzy or looney.. and supporting them in whatever way they want to twist and turn on this earth.
