Singing, reading, walking my dogs, and meeting people
Singing was my first love, and to become a singer was my ultimate dream. However, studies and finishing a degree was always a priority, I set it aside. Then as young as 14, I joined a choir. I sing in some school programs, I sing in church until now. I sing everywhere. I associate my daily experience through music and I sing whenever I want. haha. Aside from singing I also love reading short articles and stories. I love reading real life stories.
In 2016, I got inspired by a group led by a British woman in rescuing abandoned cats and dogs in our local community and so I also had my rescues. Now I have 6 dogs of my own and I also feed the strays, continue rescuing more with the help of the animal advocates. Every morning, I would love walking my dogs in my family's coconut farm. It is a form of exercise and therapy at the same time.
Well, I believe I was born to be a teacher. I have always loved meeting and talking to people. I am very interested to know them and also share with them what I know. I can always initiate a conversation and I can always share stories of my own. I am very conversational, engaging and jolly.
