This is me...

Barbra Mae
"Barbie"

born 21st August 1988

a Materials Science and Engineering, Major in Semiconductors student
in Mapua Institute of Technology

youngest and only girl in 3 siblings

used to have braces from 3rd year of high school until 1st year of college

stays at home most of the time

loves to cook and bake, I'm pretty good at it
my specialty is filipino dishes and chocolate crinkles

favorite color is blue and silver

favorite animals are cats, rabbits and dolphins

favorite food is shrimps
but allergic to them because of asthma
so I only get to eat them like once a year :(

like sweets especially cake and ice cream

prefers fish over pork or beef

almost never eats junk food

I don't like soft drinks
I can't finish even a single glass of soda

I hate vegetables
but I'm starting to LEARN to eat them
I'm in the process of convincing myself that they're good for the health

I am a pure blooded Bicolana
both my parents are from Bicol
but I'm born in Olongapo City

I'm a shy and quiet person
I don't talk much especially with people I just met
I'm not the type to approach people and start conversations

I don't like waiting alone, I feel lonely
if we agreed to meet at 10 am, you should be there at 10 am
but I don't mind making others wait

I am organized person
if you borrowed something from me, return it to where you got it
I don't want it lying around somewhere
I arrange the contents of my bag properly because it feels heavy when it's not
but the inside of my closet is so messy that a snake would probably come out of there one of these days

I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings and voicing out my opinions
I'm very sensitive to the feelings of others
if I have something I want to say but would hurt others, I'll just keep it to myself

I don't get mad easily
I'm very good at controlling my temper

whenever I lose my temper, which is very rare, I just keep quiet and ignore everyone
I'm not the type who shouts and points fingers at other people

I'm a soft hearted person
I easily forgive others even if they did something really bad to me

hate plastics, backstabbers and liars
don't like but not hate KY people

believes in karma

I'm a go-with-the-flow person
I rather have my friends or companions decide what to do or where to go

I don't like partying, gimiks or going to concerts
I don't like crowded or noisy places
I prefer quiet and toned down places
(but I don't mind going to a NEWS or Show Luo concert ^_^)

I've been to 4 schools till now
attended an all girls Catholic school during grade school in Bicol
spent my first year high school in a science high school in Subic

I used to have a band in first year of college

learned Taekwondo one summer in grade school
graduated from white belt
my mom forced me to stop because it will interfere with my studies
