About Signorina

I’ve always loved to write ever since I was in grade school. I remember maintaining a notebook where I’d write stories from horror to romance. I also had diaries and they’re always still funny when I read them. I’m not sure why, of all other things, I chose writing to be one of my active hobbies. Prolly because, through writing, I can express whatever I feel without harming anything or anyone – just my hand. Hahaha. Anyway, here’s a few stuff about me. *winks*

I’m a pluviophile. I love to watch the dark skies, to feel the cold breeze that plays along and brushes against my skin, to touch the mist on the window pane, to witness the grand drops of the rain on the ground, and to play under it like I used to when I was a kid. Just the view of the gloomy skies effortlessly makes me smile, but I’m not depressed or what. Or maybe at times, I am. But the sky and rain just give me this inexplicable peace and happiness. Every. Single. Time.

Coffee. If there’s one thing that I’m in love with which I can’t let go, it’s coffee. I believe in forever with it hahahhahah. It’s my own kind of drug and my only companion during the wee hours of the night because I really love to stay late at night and I really don’t know why. Prolly because I feel so much serenity? Jeez, I’m a sucker for it.

Books. Oh, boy, I love books! I love the smell of the pages especially of a newly-bought one. Funny, I actually really do close my eyes when I sniff the pages. The smell is my other type of drug lol. And yes, I linger at bookstores, eyeing on possibly good books, and at times, really taking them right away to the cashier just so I could no longer waste time or worse, change my mind hahaha. If you ask me, I highly recommend Mitch Albom’s The First Phone Call from Heaven and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Those two books are my top 2 favorite books, so far. In fact, with the former, I was only supposed to read a chapter so I can still study for an exam, but I ended up finishing the entire book on that same day. That was how captivating the book was, for me.

Guitar. I play acoustic guitar but only the basics. At first, I thought it was hard and that you really need to hire a teacher but when my mother bought me a guitar, I tried to learn by myself. I bought a tuner and a capo, downloaded a complete guitar chord chart, watched Youtube videos, and poof! I eventually learned! Hahaha.

I’m a certified public accountant with my license that’s about to expire and I’m afraid I won’t be able to renew it because of the required CPD units which I could not meet (lol), so technically, I will no longer be “licensed” before the year ends. (12/20/2019 update: I have successfully renewed my license! But from 100 required CPD units, it doubled to 220. We can do this! Hahaha) Oh, by the way, let me share with you my testimony about my CPA journey. You can read it here: Trusting Him

I still have a lot of goals in life and one of ’em is really hard – to earn those four letters at the beginning of my name and help those financially incapable with their legal battles. It’s really hard, you know, especially when you’re both working and studying at the same time. But with God, nothing is impossible. 🙂

I’m 25 and drum roll with party poppers please — still single! Proud NBSB here. HAHAHAHA. *wink wink* I actually prayed in high school not to have a boyfriend yet but God extended my prayers until now and I’m not sure how long the extension will be hahahaha. But seriously, I can wait. And I am happy. It’s happy to be single kaya hahahaha. According to my blogger friend, Joseph, “there’s more to life than being in a relationship”. Oh diba. In fact, he made me a guest blogger in his blog. Curious? Read it here: Definitely Single But Definitely Happy Hahahaha and lastly, I believe in “first and last”. Naks! Hahahha.

I think I’ve said a lot already lol. What about you?

Let’s share lives. 🙂

 

Praying that you’ll be blessed so you can be a blessing to others,
Juani ❤
