I don’t understand how someone can be this cute

[chevenzon]

01. I didn’t learn how to ride a bike until I was 12, and I don’t know how to roller-skate or ride a scooter or a skateboard. 02. I’m flat-footed, with my left foot far worse than my right. For this reason I wore corrective shoes with arch supports until I was 13. 03. And maybe this is why I love buying shoes now: Nike, Toms, FitFlop, L.K. Bennett, Nine West, Sanuk, and Jimmy Choo. 04. I’ve danced ballet with Ballet Philippines. It was The Nutcracker. I was 8 years old. 05. I was a classical piano scholar in UP. 06. I am woefully absentminded. I can memorize full scripts, but cannot remember where I put my phone or keys. 07. I learned to drive at the age of 30. 08. The first car I ever owned was a Toyota Corolla. 09. I once thought I could actually talk to God; turned out I just had an overactive imagination. 10. I’ve only gotten the flu twice in my life: once at 18 and then at 22. I get my fly shot every year now. 11. I have 5 piercings in total, 3 on my left ear, 2 on my right. Each piercing on my ears represents an emotional event. The last one I got was to show my daughter it wasn’t painful. Epic fail! It hurt! 12. I swear like a sailor. 13. I had a sizable Game & Watch collection (most of which is actually still in my mom’s closet). 14. I also collect Swatch watches… and elephants with their trunks raised up. My Auntie Daku (my mother’s eldest sister and mother to prima ballerina Maniya Barredo) gave me my very first one at the opening night of Annie. 15. I’ve never worn braces. 16. I make the sign of the cross before I go onstage. Always. 17. I’ve only attended Jesuit universities (Ateneo and Fordham). Yes, I’m biased. 18. I love popcorn, especially with plenty of butter and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. 19. I was allergic to shellfish until my teens. Thankfully it’s something I eventually outgrew. 20. As a child I fell asleep with books under my pillow. 21. I am not technically the eldest child… my mother suffered a miscarriage in her seventh month of pregnancy, a son she named Leo. (And that’s why I’m named Lea.) 22. The only knot I remember from being a Girl Scout is the square knot. It’s incredibly useful! 23. I like assembling things: Lego sets, jigsaw puzzles, Ikea furniture, or remote control cars. 24. I can pick up things with my toes. (Salonga thing.) 25. I can wiggle my ears. (Imutan thing.) 26. Favorite drink: Hendrick’s gin & tonic. But I won’t refuse a glass of German Riesling. Or anything with Grey Goose or Ketel One vodka. Ha! 27. Favorite video game: Assassin’s Creed 2. Ezio Auditore is hot. Requiescat in pace. 28. The one movie I have to finish when I accidentally catch it on TV: Tango & Cash. 29. I prefer 440 over 442, and I’ve never sung at 432. (Music geeks will dig this one.) 30. I used a pacifier until I was 5. 31. I put my left shoe on first before my right. 32. I start going up or down a flight of stairs with my right food and end with my left… unless there’s an odd number of steps, in which case I’ll start with my left or switch feet somewhere in the middle. 33. First kiss: 6 years old. And no, I am not sharing with whom it was! 34. I’m a bit of a word nerd. 35. Facebook is my other job.

Well hello, pretty girl! This one seems to have a flair for the dramatic. Wonder where she gets that from. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgqx6Jrv_hX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2018 is a year that brought me to a roller coaster ride of emotions, to the happiest events like, when I graduated with a bachelors degree and when my sister pass in the CPA licensure exam,😍 to the saddest events that happen in my life, actually in our life, when my father and our grandfather left us. 😢I wish to have me and my family a good and prosperous New Year.

PS: I saved this in my notes last Dec. 31, 2018.

Thanks to Anna Maria Perez de Tagle for this little nugget of wisdom… one to which I can often relate.

Your frankness makes him wonder, woman.

Holy Angel University the right school for you. 😊

I'm new here...

So I’m now officially here, a Tumblr newbie. What have I been missing? Anyone care to point me toward some interesting places?

[chevenzon]

I miss my baking, cooking, and bar class. Actually I just miss school. 😅 This are the throwback pictures of what we cooked and some drinks that we made, year 2017. 😊
