GET TO KNOW ME!!!!

HELLO HELLO, WELCOME TO HELL!

     Ah, I'm just kidding. The Layer of Limbo can't hold so much spontaneity. The other layers, however, are a different story, but for the sake of keeping the positive vibe in this blog, we might as well pretend we're in good, ole Elysium instead of Dante's Inferno.

     But if being in hell means being with you, then I'll gladly stay there AHAHAHAHA KIDDING, LOVES, KIDDING! 

     As per tradition, I will take this chance to introduce myself.

     Hey, that's me! 

     Okay so my full name is Marie Julienne Lindsey Azárraga Cruz. Too long, didn't read? Just call me Juli. Some people call me Juls, though, and that's okay too. I'm sixteen years of age (I don't really want to say young or old l m a o), and I love to do a lot of things, and I want to try new ones, too.

I was born and lived my first few childhood years in Manila, but somehow I was washed up in Iloilo, where I currently am. I may have been born Manilenya, but in my heart and soul, I am Ilongga.

By June, I will be in Grade 11 (Shoutout to the instigators of K-12 Program without which I could have graduated early! But hey, life gets better HAHAHAHA). I will be taking up the ABM strand (Accountancy and Business Management), and from then on, I can't promise eight to ten hours of sleep every night. Go, All-Nighters! I mean, I try to study. I really do, but I will have to even more this upcoming A.Y.

Fact: On exam days, I am usually around City Proper trying to find iced coffee on the afternoons. Since I'm off to Senior High this June, chances are I will be scavenging for coffee more often than during Exam Week.

(beside me are Mari and Marvs)

Shoutout to my sibs hiiiiiii hahahaha

My friends are really, really dear to me. I have a really small circle but nonetheless, still the best I have. They have been there for me for so much and I'm just really grateful for them.

There are some prends not in pictures. Shoutout to Francis, Miguel, Saskia, Lica, and Jaemar!

I draw and paint! I especially like mixing colors around and making a mess with my brush.

Fact: I once accidentally drank paint water. I thought I was going to die HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm in love with so many cultures, and I am very interested in learning more languages. I've tackled German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, and Russian (with the Yuri!!! On ICE craze and all AAAAAAAHHHH), and I want to improve communicating with these languages even more.

Writing is truly one of the things I really enjoy doing. I also love to read and read and read. It's actually my greatest pleasure! If you see me at school, I will probably be reading (or at least, carrying) a book, even while walking!

(there's more) 

YES, I love music. I actually can't choose genres sometimes! I like to listen anything and everything, whatever floats my boat. If you shuffle my playlist on Spotify, things are sure to go whack! It can go from dancey pop music, then maybe a calm piano song, then loud emo/alternative music, then some trap, and if you're lucky, you'll catch the one v e r y old song I included.

Not kidding. It's from 1945, if you're curious. Ahahaha!

(ay pabebe jkjk) 

I like to sing a lot. One time, I felt really bored during a jeep ride with my club mates (SHOUTOUT TO JUNIOR WRITERS 2015-2016!!!), so I sang as loudly and off-tune as my lungs could go! Ahhhh, those were good times.

I really like to take pictures, and pose for pictures. Yes, that hand was unintentional. *gun emoji*

(An excerpt from a little convo I had two years ago with my Journalism teacher. See? We had to do 60 posts!)

I started this blog originally as a project for one of our subjects in school (SHOUTOUT TO MR. G!!!!). We had a blog post regimen and most people would say it's soooo tiring. In fact, many were relieved at the start of our Grade 10 school year because we didn't have to post in our blogs anymore, but I kept mine because I wanted to write more, share more of what I love to do, and connect with more people. I also needed an outlet to my ideas, and a way to be more productive.

Now, before we end this, here's a little game

FOUR TRUTHS, ONE LIE
(or my excuse to put facts without pictures)

1. I AM ANIME T R A S H
2. I'M OBSESSED WITH YURI ON ICE
3. I SHIP OTAYURI MORE THAN VICTUURI
4. I THINK SEUNG-GIL'S COSTUME LOOKS NICE
5. JEAN-JACQUES LEROY IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER

Nahhhh, I should probably just say it straight:

I will die without anime and Yuri On Ice.

Well, I'm going to sign off before I start babbling about rainbows and unicorns.
