background: My father is Australian and my mother is a Filipina. I have two big brothers and me as the youngest. We were born and grew up in Melbourne. We are fluent in Filipino for our mom speaks to us in Filipino language at home, as well as my father is, he knows how to speak in Filipino too. Honestly speaking, I've never been into the Philippines before nor other Asian countries.
I grew up in a musically inclined family, my father used to be a drummer in his long-time band here in Australia. They still have gigs twice a week despite of his and his bandmates' age already. My two elder brothers are in the same band as the bassist and drummer respectively. My mom is the only person in our family who is not into music although she listens to it and oftens attend my father's gigs whenever dad asks her to come. She is more focused in the business thing just because she is an accountant, a certified public accountant. She is like a dictator - a Julius Ceasar type - she is the one who dictates my life, on what I should do, on what I am supposed to wear, or how to act properly like a very gentle angelic girl (a woman, a lady). Although we are the only girls in our family, we seldom, very seldom, get to bond with each other for we have the opposite interests. We are somewhat enemies! But I don't literally HATE her because she's still my mother though. I just don't like how she treats me for it seems she wanted me to be like her - the perfect intelligent woman.
I started to play a musical instrument when I was 12. I got involve into music after the first gig of my father that I attended. I was amazed on how they perform on stage. It's incredible! Drums is the first instrument that I learned in which my "kuya" (Filipino term for big borther/oppa) Kuya Carl taught me. Right after mastering the drumset, I tried to play the guitars next. I wanted to try the bass guitar but when I took it, it is a bit heavy for someone like me so I just switched to acoustic guitar. My Kuya Steve was the one who taught me the basics of it and afterwards left me alone so that I will be the one to discover how great the power of a guitar is as to what he said to me. There was this instance that I broke a guitar, the one that Kuya Steve owns. I expected him to get mad at me because the guitar I broke/destroyed used to be his first guitar given by dad(out of his 8 guitars, it is his favorite and most precious) but I was surprised that he didn't even told me that he hates me for breaking it; what he did is to encourage me more and gave me another one. And as time passes by, as I play and study the guitar, I'd be glad to say that, I absolutely fell for it! What Kuya Steve told about the great power of guitar... it is true! It was magical! You can do whatever you want to do, you can express what you feel through it! Whenever you're happy, angry, stressed... you can just blew it up all there!
I didn't stop learning how to play different sort of musical instrument for I also tried piano, violin, cello, as well as the harp. Although I've tried a number of instruments, the impact that the guitar gave me  is totally different! The magic I felt as I play it... it's just extreme! I don't know but it's really... went through me.
The guitar that Kuya Steve handed me for the second time, officially gave it to me for passing his lessons excellent! He  told me to take care of it like how he took care of it before. It is  the guitar he used when he courted (sing a song/played the guitar dedicating it to the girl) his first girlfriend. So I took care of it as he told me to do so. I asked him if he gives names to his guitars but he insisted he isn't so I named my baby (guitar) Gigi. I always bring her to school, to somewhere and anywhere I go. I love my baby! I can't afford to leave her alone. And when she's being hurt, it hurts me twice!
And just because Hallyu Wave has conquered not only Asia but also Australia, I too became its super FAN! As well as my friends are. By the very moment I've had heard BEAST's "Beautiful", I got instantly hypnotized to love KPOP! And whenever I write songs, it  is usually inspired by KMUSIC. My friends and I tend to have our own band (all-girl band) wherein the three of us used to cover some of our most favorite KPOP songs and upload it on youtube. Through our covers, we became known in our school and instantly went viral. There are times when some folks invites us to perform on their events or something such as KFESTs or KCONs being held here in Australia. Sometimes, when there's a fandom gathering. We just sing the songs like CNBLUE does and not dance because we don't dance (well, I do dance when I'm alone but not good at it). Because of what's happening in my life that moment, my love for music grew deeper. I love it whenever I perform and sing to people; seeing them enjoying my performance is really a gratitude to witness. It is so precious and priceless!
Being in a band, and performing to people, is a secret to my mom, my brothers, and my dad. I kept it because I know that when mom knew it, she'll probably stop me from doing it so. I didnt bother to tell it to my siblings and dad because I'm scared that they might accidentally tell it to mom so I'd rather keep it with my friends. Unfortunately, as we are in the midst of our performance somewhere in the downtown area, I just saw my parents in the crowd watching me. I got nervous but I fought it hence continued performing and remained my focus in it. And when I went back home, mom was like going to melt me with her glare. My father on the contrary is absolutely proud of me, greeted me with a big hug! Mom as usual nagged at me and scolded me for not telling about to to her. Eventually, as expected she took all of my musical paraphernalias and grounded me for a month. Without my knowledge, she enrolled me in a university in business major (I am already going to college).  After knowing it, I confronted her and told her what I want. I even told her that she raised me up to make my own decisions and not to be a puppet that'll obey whatever she commanded me to do. Dad instantly became our referee as well as my big brothers are. I walked out of the house and went to my friend Alexandria and stayed for a while. There I told her everything what had happened back at home. I spent the entire night at her place, and talking about school in college, she was actually skimming on some universities in Korea, she wanted to study there but her family can't afford the necesities to study overseas so she rather not to. Knowing about that info, I've come up with the idea to study there and learn music. With that, I'll be in Korea and become an idol/artist one day. And when I become an idol already, I can be with my idols (rubbing elbows with them and make friends with them) and most importantly I can prove to  my mother that I am born to be a musician and there's nothing she can do to stop me anymore. Through that, I can prove myself to her that I made the right choice which is to pursue my dreams and that is to become the most influential and greatest musician of all time. I talked to my dad about it, fortunately, he agreed. He spoils me alot. My mom wasnt there when I talked to my father about it, so I assume that dad will just explain everything to her. Dad gave me his blessings to me upon my departure. I didn't asked him to take me to the airport for we will be crying all the while. I said goodbye at them in the house, hugged each one of them. Mom is at their bedroom laying on the bed turning her back at me. I ust said goodbye to her and left. I brought with me my precious guitar Gigi of course and some stuff. My dad will give me monthly allowances as I study in Korea so there won't be any problem due to financial matters.
As I arrive in Korea, I went straighgt to Cheongsan School of Performing Arts and turned in my application to be a student there. Luckily, I got in! As I stepped in the school, the presence of being the number one student just went in through me. I basically aiming to be the top student among the musician division. And be an idol and music producer sooner or later one day.
personality: I am absolutely a daddy's girl. Not so boyish but more of a clumsy one. Not the typical girl that always acts with care for she dont mind no one except for herself and friends, self-centered at times. I may look tough, unbeatable, and competitive outside but deep inside me, I am someone who just wants to achieve her dreams and to prove herself to everyone else. Some might look at me not being sociable and misinterpret my eagerness to learn. But rest assured, I am harmless. I am a bubbly girl, someone a friend could count on to, and can always depend on. I tend to be mischievous if I'm in the mood or someone/friend will do that crazy thing with me and laugh as we are having our goodtime together (since I am all alone in Korea).  All I want for a work is nothing but perfect! I want  work of art wherein no one can say anything but "WOW!".
And when it comes to love, I've never fallen in love with someone before nor had a boyfriend in short, no boyfriend since birth. They usually thought of me as lesbian or a biual just for the reasn that I haven't had a boyfriend ever since although I really am straight!
persona: Swagger Chic/Swaggernaut
trivia: She likes ice cream - all sorts of flavor as long it's ice cream, strawberry cake, fried chicken, carbonara, pizza, lazagna, people who are down to earth, she idolizes Beast/Bigbang/SNSD/F(x)/2NE1. Dislikes are air-headed guys (those who knew that they have something to say about themselves yet still shows the others that they are losers), rain because for her rain means sadness. Her hobby is sketching and sleeping and eating, sometimes composing/writing songs whenever she's inspired. She has a habit of smirking and bitting her fingernails.

rival(s):
 
love interest: Kyungsoo
history: Kyungsoo and I first met at school, in Cheongsan School of Performing Arts, at the open field sitting under a tree alone while playing my guitar with own composition. He all of a sudden approached me and said, "that song is good" he then sat next to me and offered me the food he made. We had a little chit-chat but wasn't able to exchange names and introduce ourselves. We plainly talked about music staff and the food he made. After that, we never had a chance to see each other again for two weeks or three and thought that we may not be able to become real friends until a school activity brought us together wherein students from the different divisions/courses must collaborate with each other as partners for the upcoming exams wherein they must perform the thing they two have come up with.
Chanyeol who is my classmate, since we are in the same musician division, became close to each other because of our same craziness. We are both mischievous at times. And when the said school activity has been announced, he wants me to be his partner but then the rules says it must be from different divisions. I had hard time to seek for a partner because I dont know no one from other divisions. Until, one day, while I'm in the middle of running so fast because I am going to be late for my first class, I accidentally bumped into someone as soon as he came out from the room on the left that made the food he is holding to spill all over his face. Of course I helped him out to clean himself only to found out that it was the guy I talked with before under a tree (Kyungsoo). I told him I'm sorry and because of that, I just ditched my class for I am already late; considering that our professor in that subject is quite time strict and once you're late, better not come in anymore or he'll eat you whole!
Anyways, I said a thousand apology at him and even asked him to be his slave just to forgive me with what I did to him although he didn't ask for it. Of course I am afraid that I might bump into someone who is gangster-like perhaps and show him that I'm unbeaten then  probably, I'll be a deadmeat. After what I did to him, he remained quiet and didn't even give a damn on me so I just follwed him whenever he may go for I suppose I am his slave as the punishment. Later on, as he is changing his clothes in the locker room (of course I turned my back at him) he just asked me to be his partner for the school collaboration activity. At first, I was dumbfounded and wasn't able to say a word. He then went in front of me (with clothes on) and said, "Why? Do you have a partner already?" I just shooked my head slowly at him. He said, "then we're partners already!" he smiled a big smiled at me and so do I. From then on, we became partners and eventually became close friends and little by little developed our feelings for each other as time passes by us; knowing one another better.
relationship: We treat each other as very close friends, like caring for each other which others see us as a couple already.
request(s): A kissing scene with Kyungsoo - just like the foam kiss of Secret Garden, but with this, the frosting from the cupcake Kyungsoo made for my character messed unto her lips when she ate it. As she is about to wipe it with her hands, Kyungsoo stopped her from doing so instead kissed her to take the frosting away with his very own lips.
