Getting to Know me: Chapter 1

Getting to know me: Chapter 1

(Traits/Characteristics, Foods, Fashion and Hobbies)

It was Friday, 13^th of August in the year 1993 when I was born. I was raised in Barangay Guilon, Samal City. I live at the island not until I started working. I am the eldest of the family with only one sibling. My parents were Silvestre Hilaga Pellerin and Hilaria Bastillada Bacus (maiden name).

I am already living independently since 2014, considering that my first job was in Davao Oriental. I came back sa Samal that was when I was assigned in Babak Branch (MLhuillier Financial Services Inc.) for only 6 months.

I am an introvert type of person. I tend to be more quiet, reserved and introspective. Being around too many drains my energy. I only have a small group of close friends. I am very self-aware, and people find it difficult to know me.

I like frank, real, and open-minded friends. That’s all I need. On the other hand, I hate hypocrites, judgmental and close-minded individuals. I used to have a few girlfriends and I have friends who were boys. Why? (Bisaya para intense) Kapuy making friends ug babae kay honestly most of the time, mag sigeg panlibak ug tsismis sa kinabuhi sa ubang tao and I find it hago. Labad bes! Girls, di ta magpretend, this is realistic. Whereas pag boys imong friends, though tsismoso pud na sila usahay pero not in the way nga mag cgeg panlibak and mind you dili na sila mangunay ug libak nimo. Sa akong experience, so far wala koy amigo nga lalaki nga backstabber, hope wala jud, unlike girls. They are even more real kaysa sa babae, usahay we used to pretend when we are in our circle of friends. So, honestly speaking, we don’t have the right to judge a girl having friends who were boys because we all have our own unique reasons. “Flirt na sya kay lalaki iyang friends”. Oh! Common, ka mabaw ba ug panghunahuna, 2019 na and hapit na mag 2020. Don’t me!

I am competitive and I used to do things at my best. I hate failures and that’s one of my weakness. I easily get depressed, but I’m learning from it.

Now, let’s talk about food. I have some problems with my metabolism. I have fast metabolism making it hard for me to gain weight. That’s why I stay “payat’, but not bitokon. There are some instances nga manambok ko and that’s because I’m taking vitamins that boost my appetite. On my regular diet, I’m not into eating vegetables. I eat fast food a lot. But when I’m taking vitamins, I can eat selected vegetables and that’s amazing. I counted it as an achievement. I love food delivery, that’s why wala akong ipon. I am kuripot to other stuff but not with what I am eating. I am also generous, but if magsabot ta nga chip-in ta sa kaon, chip-in jud ta.

Fashion. I’m not into wearing trendy clothes for girls. I am contented wearing jeans and pants when I go out. But there were also instances that I wore dress, and that depends on my mood. I am not into branded clothes kay kuripot ko and magsakit akong buot mugasto sa pricy nga damit, except Macbeth brand. I love wearing ukay fashion if I feel like dressing up like a girl. However, tapulan ko mangukay, that depends on my mood as well. Favorite color is black and mustard yellow.  The reason, why I don’t like wearing a dress, is that clumsy ko usahay (LOL). I rather chose sneakers over sandals. I love wearing a cap as well. I am not into wearing pieces of jewelry and all. A necklace is already enough.

Hobbies. Surfing on the internet, watching movies, writing (blogging), and maglaag (maskin way kwarta). Surfing on the internet, not just browsing Facebook but I also love watching videos from famous influencer (youtuber). I do have social media apps and that includes Facebook, YouTube channel, Instagram, and Snapchat. I once wanted to become a vlogger, but when I started taking videos of me talking to myself, I find it awkward and horrible. I used to watch K-dramas and used to get addicted into it. I also love watching original Netflix films and MCU movies. I love visiting new places and I always wanted to travel.

This is it for now. That’s me when we talk about personality traits, foods, hobbies and fashion. Next, let’s talk about love life and career. Watch out for it! (LOL).
