Personal Information

I am a fifth year student taking the course Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in The University of Southeastern Philippines, B.O. Obrero, Davao City. This June is our scheduled graduation (our school follows the Aug-Dec and Jan-May school calendar) and everyone around's excited. Three exams this weekend, and a Written Report about our Field Trip and I'm done. I have nothing to worry about the approaching event. I lived in Brgy Agdao Proper in Davao City since the day I was born. I'm already 21 years young. My father is a construction worker and my mother is a housekeeper. With a little amount of money they earn I am near to surviving college life. Engineering Life. That is through the help of scholarships. Since in grade school, I'm a Scholarship hopper. I am always into the betterment of my status as a student. To a better benefits.To whichever helps my parents the most. My sister next to me, is a college student also. We are in the same school, she is taking BS in Biology. Next to her is a boy, who stopped in study and chose to work. Our youngest, a girl, is about to enter Senior High.

I'm not that tall and my skin's fair. Unfortunately, I have acne. I usually hide it with filters in some of my photos. I've been bringing this in my face for seven years, and still finding for the right medicine. Or still finding the right routine for sleep. I hope someone from here can help me with this. :D (That's a henna)
