Hi, my name is Fire in Quechua :)

After 7 poi sessions, I finally had my first burn :) I’m telling you, twas a different kind of high. It made me forget my name =) The scent of Kerosene was so addicting and the spinning sound?????? Ahhhhh, like music to my ears. Will upload pics once I get ‘em from Oli. heehee!

So anyhoo, I just discovered that Nina means fire in Quechua, a native South American language. *DING DING DING DING DING!!!*I think I just found my fire name (which also happens to be my real name). Awesomeeee! I can’t wait to burn again =P

Oh and in case you have time to spare, do drop by Arts in the City at the Fort this Friday for the SpinDepence event. BRIGADA will be there, too.

Notes:

About:

Few things you should know about me:

I'm Rach (pronounced as Reych, not Ratch). And no, it's not Rich either :|
I took a 5-year Management program at UA&P, but green will ALWAYS run through my veins.
I speak my mind, but I do know when to shut up.
I'm very transparent, but I can also be a chameleon.
I like being independent, there's no but to that. It is what it is.
I'm Catholic but I try to live a Christian life.
I love talking about religion and other day-to-day issues that actually matter, but I don't mind talking about stupid things, too.
I like to argue. I should probably take up law.
I like to see the good in people, but I'm not naive.
I believe in change but sadly, I've lost confidence in our government.
Despite my lack of optimism towards my country, I still want to raise my kids in the Philippines.
I grew up in Alabang but after 8 years of living in Ortigas, I've completely lost my sense of direction in the South.
I don't mind multi-tasking, but I get stressed too. I'm not an alien.
I negotiate for a living
After a long day's work, my mind automatically goes on hibernate mode
I used to collect coloring books and stickers.
I love Polly Pocket.
My favorite color is red, but people always assume it to be pink.
I'm a lefty but I used to be ambidextrous.
Aside from English and Tagalog, I'm also fluent in Sarcasm, Banana and Shigidig Talk. Ask me how it goes, I'm more than willing to teach you =)
I took up gymnastics when I was in grade school.
I've been dancing for the past 10 years.
I've recently developed a strong passion for Poi. I want to be a good fire dancer.
I was once part of DLSZ's grade school chorale but somehow, I lost my talent in singing. Thus, I am a frustrated singer.
I appreciate all types of music.
I like watching live bands.
I prefer beer over wine.
I drink not to get drunk.
I want to put up my own mobile bar. I shall name it "Drink & Purge". Note on the side, I have 1 rule: You vomit, you clean it!
I'm into lomography, but I don't consider myself a lomographer.
I go crazy over plastic toy cameras.
I appreciate photography and abstract, but I don't particularly like art. Well, some aspects of it.
I enjoy watching movies, but I tend to doze off in between boring scenes.
I like to travel (a lot).
I love the beach, but I don't exactly have the beach bod (ha-ha!)
I love fashion. My outfit usually reflects my mood.
I'm addicted to shoes and bags. If I could live in my closet, I would :)
I hate needles, but I have 3 tattoos (I kind of want to have the first one removed. Don't ask why)
I hate lizards and frogs, real or plastic.
I hate sneezing.
I especially hate sneezing when I'm driving.
I sometimes do my make up while I'm driving.
I tend to multi-task while driving (I don't really know why but that's my thing).
I love to drive fast.
I've been in a (semi) serious car accident thrice.
My first car was a white 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Grand Sport Rally (GSR). Mom sold it last August and I cried for weeks. Saree was my ultimate road bud :(
I love fluffy dogs. My first love was Paopao, an 8-month old Maltese. Mom sold him, too and I didn't speak to her for 2 months :(
I'm generally a nice person, I think? But I am a self-confessed bitch, too (only when necessary).
I do not like taking advantage of other people
And no, I do not appreciate being taken advantage of
I love my friends to death :)
I once shoved my friend's ex in front of our school and said the P.I, word with full force. Never knew I had that in me (Yes, I am superwoman ha-ha!)
I'm quite easy to please.
I laugh like a boy.
I cry when I'm really upset.
I forgive, but sad to say.. I don't forget.

So now you know..


Kthxbye :)
