About Me

born in the bewitching (literally and figuratively) province of capiz, this girl is married to her 7.2-megapixel digital camera and almost never leaves home without it. she believes there's no such thing as too much picture-taking. she believes she is the megapixel fairy with a memory stick wand.

a globe trekker-wannabe & simply envies people who get paid to travel & host travel shows. (what should i do to become samantha brown?) a cat-lover since childhood, she now lives with a grey cat named after iron chef bobby flay, in the home state of rocker bon jovi: new jersey.

my favorite part of the newspaper is the comics page. incidentally, i have a collection of comic strip compilations.

my favorite place at the mall is the greeting card shops...i can spend all afternoon trying to find the perfect birthday card to send to a friend in the philippines. usually i find it. i also try to remember people's birthdays as much as i can.
