I am ME

As I approached my 30 plus years of existence, allow me share with you the gory details about myself…

I am a first born, that gives me the license to be stubborn all the time. The upside is being the eldest you got to wear certain clothes first before the younger sister but the downside is the expectations were up to the roof.

I was born under the sign of Libra, hence my endless pursuit for balance & harmony. I was never a confrontational person, I always come in peace.

I grew up with the old folks – Lolo and Lola, which is where my fondness for old movies, reading newspapers and listening to / reading political commentaries and watching PBA came from. Not to forget the wisdom that goes with age.

I like listening to music but no genre in particular. Depending on my mood, I can listen to jazz, ballad or classic. I can bang my head on an acoustic rock music but generally, I like music on its natural form, raw and untouched, no remixes, no fixes.

I am not fashion forward. I tend to favor black colors.I know a thing or two about fashion and appreciate fashion particularly the classic designs like Chanel (I sound old). I don’t read fashion magazines though, it makes me feel ugly.

I have a collection of collared honeycomb shirts in all shades of pink but seldom wear them (now, I’m getting weirder). I love shoes…our love affair dates back from my childhood. I love purses, I love petting them in their natural habitat and then leave only with the one that I can actually use.

I have come into terms with my hair now. When I was younger I used to envy those who have long straight hair. Mine goes in all directions when I wear it down. I can’t wear bangs because they tend to curl. Now, I am wearing it down and not bothered at all. I have to forge a deep relationship with my hairbrush though, I only remember it twice a day.

I am a sucker for romantic movies and novels and everything that makes me swoon and blush like I’m sixteen again. I have this tendency to watch the romantic scenes over and over again.

I love eating (it’s obvious). I love pasta and cakes…my comfort food are strawberry cheesecake and ice cream. Just a slice or a scoop and I’m back to my old self. When I was younger I love anything with chocolate but we have to parted ways recently.

I have this love affair with my bed but work and other pursuits always come in between. I snore and drool (not one of my best qualities) because sleep is the only freedom that I know.

The list can go on but for now love me for what I am. I'm like this rainbow in a desolate afternoon. I can color your world if you let me...

I am Julie, I am me.
