About Me

Getting to know Oneself

Weighing 2323 grams and the second of four children, I was born on September 18, 1990. I grew up in a small village. I have 1 older brother and 2 younger ones. My parents adopted a girl, she's 2 years younger than me. I don't know why they adopted and it's not important. 

I am writing this to know more about myself. There's nothing special about me. I'm simple and timid. I'm completely satisfied being alone, just reading a book anywhere quiet, or watching videos during my spare time. I used to like drawing when I was little, but when i went to high school and university i had lesser time to draw I just became contented looking at other people's arts and admired their artistic skills. 

I'm perfectly happy taking long walks while sippin ice coffee and listening to my playlist. I love being alone but i also enjoy spending time with few friends. I love spicy food and corn chips and i drink beer sometimes. I read books occasionally. 

I love nature. I love the trees, the flowers, the mountains, the beaches, etc. I like to take a walk in the woods to just get some fresh air, capture wild flowers, listen to the sound of dried leaves cracking under my feet and the whistle of birds, and just looking at the magical sun rays finding their way through the canopy of branches above my head. Oh what am i talking about? hahaha. Yeah, im actually remembering these things now because i'm trying to discover myself. 

I graduated from a nursing school. I'm a licensed nurse now but not working as one. I didn't really like nursing. I was more interested in arts, architecture, criminology, journalism, culinary, etc. In short, I wanted to be everyone else when i was little.

My childhood was just fair. I met my childhood friend, Gemma, at 3. We went to the same school until secondary. I liked going to the library just to stare at pictures. I also liked to play of course. 

I can't remember a lot about my high school life. I only remember Rename, Kerby, and Jingle. 

College life was quite tough. I lived away from home. I met new friends, experience new things, went to many places, and learned a lot too. Student life was hard but i cherished the fact that i was learning new things everyday. I had ups and downs, cries and laughter, fasts and slows, gains and losses, pressures and more pressures, etc etc. I wasn't a good student. My goal was just to graduate.

After taking the nursing licensure exam, I didn’t know what to do with my life. So my friend and I applied at a tutorial center for teaching English to Korean students. That's my job for 3 years now.

Lately I’m starting to have serious thoughts about my real profession. I would like to continue doing volunteer work so I could enhance my skills and learn more. But since I’m teaching, I can’t decide yet. 

Nowadays I just do things I enjoy to at least forget the stresses for a while. I listen to music, I do Facebook and twitter, I read articles on the net, I chat with friends, I write a little, I take short trips, I shop online, I drink a little, and I’m trying to love myself. These days I’m really hooked to Korean movies and dramas that sometimes I spend my weekend just watching videos the entire day. I also watch local variety shows like Eat Bulaga or documentary and magazine programs. My friends and I also look for international restaurants to try different dishes, and so far, I’m really loving Korean foods. I could eat spicy foods everyday! 

I never had a boyfriend. I never wear make up! My friends call me Rishi, or Rish. I don't like sports. I like to see the sunrise and sunset. I love the rain! And I like Summer too. The beach! Oh i could watch the oceans forever. I like to laugh. I like to think negatively too. I could be hyper and emotional. When i cry, i cry hard. I'm not close with my parents. I love my brothers. I don't have big dreams, i just want to do something significant for me and for others.
