So here it is… the dreaded “About Me” Section which would prolly confuse you rather than enlighten you. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.
1. Human or a supernatural creature?
You’re willfully blind if you still haven’t figured out this one. The answer’s on the sidebar. I’m a venomancer and it’s rude to suggest otherwise.
2. Your nationality?
Wait, what? I’ve never heard of venomancers having a nationality. But for registration purposes, I’m a Filipino, born and bred here in the Philippines.
3. Educational Background
It’s not in a venomancer’s nature to study but nonetheless, I was able to finish a BS degree and years after that, pursued an MS Degree. And no, both of my degrees are in no way related to Literature, Journalism, or whatever degree related to writing/blogging. I will be elaborating about my profession at some point.
4. You said in your sidebar bio that you’re a gamer, care to elaborate on that?
Gaming is my top 5 favorite hobby. Seriously, if I’m not reading or blogging or watching k-dramas or annoying MY BEAU, I’m playing either offline games or MMORPGs. Currently addicted to The Sims 4 and other mobile games.
5. So you also watch Korean dramas? Any favorites?
It’s not only humans who have been caught with the Hallyu wave but geeky venomancers, too. I mean, who am I to resist when even my pets are screaming for the next episode of –insert K-Drama title here–?
Favorites include most of the Hong Sisters’ dramas (My Delightful Girl Chunyhang, My Girl, Fantasy Couple, You’re Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, Greatest Love, and The Master’s Sun), City Hunter, Arang and the Magistrate, Secret Garden, Boys Over Flowers (the plot was a mess but it was f**king fun), King 2 Hearts, Princess Hours, Joseon Gunman, Healer, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Liar Game.
6. Favorite TV series other than K-dramas?
There’s the TV adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire; the highly popular, critically acclaimed, and most of all, the overly makjang, A Game of Thrones. Other than that, I can’t think of anything else.
7. Favorite movies?
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all the movies in the Fast and Furious franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Godfather trilogy, Star Wars 1-3 (still need to watch 4-6!), Jurassic Park (the 1993 film), Avatar, The Underworld Series (Awakening sucked though), Triple X (the first film only), My Sassy Girl (Korean version), Miracle in Cell no. 7 (Korean), Three Idiots (Bollywood film), and Ghajini (Bollywood film).
As for Filipino movies, there’s Magic Temple, Anak, Walang Himala, Dyesebel (the Charlene Gonzales version), and Feng Shui (I’m not really a horror fan but this one totally impressed me).

7. Do you engage in physical activities?
I don’t get it. Oh you mean, sex?! Aren’t we all?
8. Aside from reading, writing, gaming, stalking your favorite blogs, marathoning k-dramas, and watching movies and annoying your BEAU, what are your other interests?
Environment, photomanipulation, web design and coding, and learning other languages.
9. Any other fact that you want to share?
So well, here’s the family minus the lizards and Perry, the Shih Tzu. My partner holding Caelan Reave and I holding Roscoe Chase. Thanks to DuckyMikay for this cute illustration.
