1. I was born on the 27th day of July of the year 1991 at 9 in the morning. My mom got critical during that time because of severe eclampsia  to the point that my dad made to choose between me and mom.Thank God we were both saved! or else I might not be here. hehe

2. I am the eldest among the five children in the family. And the “black sheep” as well. Haha just kidding!

3. I have light brown eyes. Some people mistakenly thought I am wearing contact lenses. Just recently when I processed my passport, the DFA officer keep on asking me, “Ma'am are you sure you’re not wearing contact lenses?” Hahaha!

4. I grew up in a very religious family. I even used to live in a convent because my grandpa’s brother is a priest and I have also 3 aunts who are nuns. Still currently figuring out if I too has a calling and might become one of them too. Hahaha *winks to my boyfie

Last week, Kai of foureyeduniverse tagged me on this handwritten challenge and finally I was able to finish this only today because I was too busy these past few days. hehehe

So this is it!

Yup, I told my mom once that she should have named me “Aryana/Arianna” instead of Arianne to make it more classy. Hahaha. I also wanted to be called “Yana” for short but I can do nothing about it, my friends and relatives used to call me “Yan” already and that’s just fine. :)

For my Tumblr url I used my first name Arianne Pearl and for my blog title..urgh! I’ve had the hardest time choosing a blog title to be honest and only to come up with that too mainstream one. lol. Still have plans to change it though. 

Both of my parents are from Iloilo and I was also born and raised here thus I’m a proud Ilonggo. :)

And oh KOOOREAAA! I haven’t been there but I wanted to live in that place if possible. The weather there is so good and the place itself excites the nature lover within me! Aaahhh! Just like in most of the Korean dramas I’ve watched. hihi 

I’m a July baby! :)

Classic!!!

Hohoho! Quite a lot? Yeah. I have so many celebrity crushes and they’re the ones who popped in my mind while I was writing this. Haha. But let me clarify things out, they’re just my crushes but I"m not an obsessed fan like that. lol

I think I don’t need to explain this! Hehehe

…and a lot more!

But I still believe that God’s plan is always better than mine. :)
