My Life as A Teen

In my teens I was a very shy and timid. I would always hide behind some one's back when someone starts a fight. My hand would shiver and shake.

I had friends who took advantage of me because I was too sweet and nice. I always gave in what they wanted to do.

I never told them what I was feeling inside. Only when they really get into my nerves, and I can no longer keep it away from them. My friends hardly see me complain or say harsh things to them.

I was always the driver for my friends when we always went out. I would pick them up and come home late. My parents always complained because I would be tired, and my friends don't live in the same direction of my home.

At a point in my life my mom wanted me to get out of my shell and be confident about myself. I started taking modeling classes.

When I was traveling to the Philippines with my mom, she had a relative who knew someone where I can be exposed to modeling to the public.

She placed me in a fashion show and the designer was Goalie Grospe that was popular during that time. He was a client of my mom's relative.

My sponsorship was a hotel that was just newly established in the Philippines. The name of the hotel was Victoria Court.

Fashion Show

I had to take pictorial pictures just like an ordinary model had to do.

They had hired someone to publicized my pictures in a magazine with an interview. You will see as the article they made a mistake on my name.

It didn't stop there when I had traveled and decided to live in the Philippines during my adult years my cousin asked, me to be an extra in a Tagalog movie called, "Mangarap Ka".

The main character was Mark Anthony Fernandez and Claudine Barretto.

There we're other cast in the movie who I was able to spend time and hang out with them during the film.
