Hello netizens!~
I'm that girl on the photo at the side of your screen and my first name is H O P E and that's the main reason why you would see a lot of "HOPE" references in this blog. I'm not a terribly creative person so for the most part I use my name, its meaning, symbology etcetera as my go to usernames in my various social media accounts. I play around my name, so to speak. So if you tumbled upon this blog in the hopes that this is anyway related to the Hunger Games fandom (although, I am a fan of the trilogy), you are sadly mistaken. I used the the phrase "dandelions in the spring" as a username because it connotes HOPE (again), I want to use another username aside from my common username of the duchess of hope or hope is here, besides it sounds nice. Additionally, when I think deeper for meaning and introspect, I feel this is apt as I want to be hopeful for the future, for writing and for the adventures and misadventures to come as I navigate this confusing and magical time that is one's twenties.
For the longest time, I wanted to write properly again and blog about stuff, but for various reasons and excuses I haven't ( I wouldn't bore you with the details). So now finally here it is. With this blog, I want to share and record my life and adventures through writing and photos. Now, as I said, I'm not a particularly creative person nor am I an exceptional writer, although my friends (and family) constantly tell me its good ( sometimes I don't believe them though, because my family and friends, loyal and supportive as they are, are supposed to say those things, its their job! ;) I'm also not that good with photography, though I liked to believe I am, i'm not, I have not taken any courses or lessons and learned most of what I know from friends and the internet. But, I would try to make this online journal as creative, lively and beautiful as I can manage.
For a more personal note, I am a five foot morena who hails from the Philippines, that beautiful archipelago composed of 7107 island that I wanted to explore and marvel at its endless beauty. I'm a living contradiction, one moment a girly girl who loves fancy, elegant pretty things and puts on makeup and dresses and then another, a girl who don't care what she looks like, comfortable in jeans, lives for adventure and okay with being sweaty and dirty. I'm also a nutritionist-dietitian by day (though you wouldn't notice). I also love books and consider myself a bibliophile, I can read and finish a book in one day, my reading nowadays is not restricted to fiction, I recently started reading more poetry and not so recently been reading mangas. I love food and recently been into cosmetics. I also love to travel and slowly making that dream a reality, little by little. I like most kinds of art, though sadly it doesn't seem to love me because I don't have a single talent I can think of or I can do. I'm stopping now before I bore people and write every single thing about me and write about my entire life and start a memoir. Hopefully you'll get to know me as I write more of my misadventures.
until the next time.
