About the Writer

Half the time, if not all, I act on PURE INSTINCT. There is no “definite” me, except interests I haven’t been able to rid myself of for the past 22 years: writing, reading, design, and music. Interests that, if I may say, constantly shift depending on the person I am becoming — doesn’t sound too dependable either if you’re looking for a definite description of whose thoughts and experiences you are about to read. Anyway, for technicalities’ sake, here are some things you should know about Aix (me):

1. She’s Filipina. Not Korean/Japanese/Thai — or whatever other chinky-eyed race we got in the planet. Ha ha! Her mom has Chinese roots though, and her dad on the other hand has Spanish roots. But don’t treat that as something really special in a country like the Philippines. A lot of Filipinos are of mixed blood. Makes them more… special. Lol

2. A cry baby. She is the worst of her kind. You gently ask her to stop crying, she will just recede her wailing to the silent type. Movie, book, an argument, a frustration — anything that makes the heart noticeably heavier, you know what she’d do.

3. A writer more than a speaker. Oh she can hold conversations with practically anyone. But you’d be surprised how, in spite her seeming outgoing aura, she has more things to say in writing. Only through writing can she express her most sincere realities.

4. Camera phone as the best pal. She isn’t techie anything but she loves documenting. Lol, that pretty much explains the grainy quality of pictures in this blog. And you now know when the picture wasn’t taken by her. :))

5. Knew nothing about preparing food, now knows a little — has no intentions of knowing everything but enjoys being in the kitchen? ;)

6. You have no idea how writing about me in third person is starting to feel weird and a little too vain. Lol.

7. A catholic but considers herself to be more spiritual than religious. She’s an active member of the parish though. ‘Cos otherwise, her life would prolly be messier than it already is. Hah.

8. The fourth of five kids in the family (2 lady siblings + 2 male siblings). I love my family to the bone but that doesn’t mean we don’t have little differences among each other that drive us crazy half the time. The point is, and has always been, we swing it family style every time.

(ohmygod, I am soo dropping this third person thing)

9. My dream is to travel for leisure. That’s the one thing I haven’t been able to do because all my travels out had something to do with congresses. Not too bad when you come to think of it right? I got to meet amazing people and got to go to amazing places on big time purposes. Would be nice to just go out on my own with the purpose of stuffing myself and getting lost. Ha ha.

10. Uhhh..

ANYWAY! The main purpose of this blog is for me to write about my stubborn search for constancy in a world I know very well breathes and sleeps on the indefinite. Constancy not in the form of the things I can keep within my reach, but more of constancy in abstracts that give life deeper meaning. My gut tells me they exist. Let’s find out?
