My Life as A Teen

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

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.
