About Me:
I am an artist by heart and had been seriously scrapbooking since 2005. I am a single mom (courtesy of annulment) of 2 teenage kids aged 21 and 18 years old. I am a partner to a 4-time Palanca awardee, who is a fictionist, has published 2 books, a multimedia artist, a bassist, and a skater. I am a woman's rights advocate and the chief mover of the online publication for women www.femalebattle.net. I had been considered a multimedia artist since I have appeared in ABS-CBN's Magandang Umaga Pilipinas & QTV's The Beat, guested a few times in DWIZ's Woman Talk, featured in Good Housekeeping twice and my articles have come out in Manila Times, Voice of Canada online and a few more. I also have a regular column in our parish newsletter in Las Pinas City. I was a servant leader of our parish too for 2 consecutive terms (4 years) as Parish Coordinator of the Ministry of Lectors and chairperson of the Worship Committee of the Parish Pastoral Council. Presently, I was a Lector Commentator in our parish for 9 years. I write, I design, I scrap, I am into photography.

"What is the essence of a woman?" You simply answered it in your mini album. ;-) I enjoy reading your journaling and of course admire your works of art.
