#1 For my birthday [which is always on the 21st of March], I want chocolates. Lots and lots of chocolates.
#2 I don’t act [unless I’m on stage]. So if I appear nice, pretty, or awesome in front of you, I wasn’t acting.
#3 I hate (I know, I know hate is such a strong word) PLASTICS. I hate fakes. I don’t like people who appear extremely kind to one person while planning to kill someone else. Just be nice! Is that too much to ask? Be nice and I promise, the world will be a better place.
#4 HAHA, by now you should be asking yourself “Gerrah said ‘A FEW THINGS’?!” Oh alright! Here’s the last thing I want people to know about me. I love ♫ Music. It means the world to me. It like a drug I can NE-EVER stop taking! Music is the cure to everything. Music was there for me when everyone else wasn’t! Music is my life, my heart and my soul.
#5 Oh aaand! [Last thing!, I promise!] I love my Mum, my Dad, Vic (my pet monkey, HAHA just kidding.. He's my brother), and everyone related to me

ABOUT ME!

I’m also known as “Lei”, “Gel”, “Ger”, “Jelly” or the “Crazy Filipino”.
There are a few important things about me that you should know.
*SEXY POSE*

{/My Kizuna (Bond) Project --
Sunday, March 17, 2013 ( 10:51 PM )
It has been twenty-three
days since the end of the Kizuna (Bond) Project yet I am still trying to grasp
everything that I have experienced while in Japan. Getting to see an area
affected by the terrifying tsunami and earthquake broke my heart but at the
same time opened my eyes to how remarkable Japan was able to get back up. The
school experience, the home-stay, the beautiful sceneries and weather and the
friends I made during the entire trip were memories that will last for a
lifetime. I must say, the Japanese are the most humble and friendly people I
have ever met.
I left Singapore with no expectations of what I would experience
while in Japan and although my schoolmates and I had a few pre-departure briefings
to go over some administrative and basic matters like the weather, nothing
would prepare me enough for the trip ahead. I can recall how my friends, who
were also involved in the Kizuna Project, were not at ease even while walking
through the short tunnel leading to the entrance of the plane.
Ten days in Japan was all it took to experience so many things. I
learnt more about the education system in Japan, how calamities affected the
people, the Japanese culture, their source of income and a quick peek at their
lifestyle.
One thing that struck me the most while abroad was the innovation
and creativity of their products. I visited shops that sold gadgets that would
make me say “that is so cool!” Upon returning home, with full of enthusiasm I
would describe my experiences - I experienced an earthquake first hand. I
visited a fish-cake factory. I got to adore a picturesque bird’s-eye-view of
Sapporo, Hokkaido from the top of a TV tower. I ate the famous Ramen,
Hokkaido’s ice-cream, lots of sushi and many other delicacies. I touched snow
for the first time in my entire life!
The list of ‘firsts’ could go on but I would never forget to
tell my family and friends here in Singapore about the people of Japan – the
best part of my Kizuna Project experience. The warm welcome right from the
immigration counter already assured me that it was the start of an enjoyable
journey. The way people would bow to thank, apologise and greet showed how humble
they could be. The positive atmosphere was everywhere. I stayed with a Japanese
family for 4 days and I felt comfortable with them right from the way they
welcomed me to their home. The hospitality, care, concern and love that I felt
was something unexpected. I cried as I gave them one last embrace before
stepping onto the train leading back to Tokyo.
Throughout the entire trip, I was proud to represent Singapore.
I spoke well about how despite being just a dot on the world map, we could call
ourselves a first-world-country. At any time, I was willing to talk about life
here in Singapore – how the Indians, Chinese, Malays and other races get along
like one big family, describing the delicious and various foods a simple hawker
centre can offer and the comfortable and safe environment that I truly
appreciate. I discovered that ‘Singlish’ is known even in other countries. In
fact, the friends I met there asked if they could listen to me speak Singlish.
‘Laa’ apparently is the most famous word! Also, as a proud Woodgrover I
explained how my school, Woodgrove Secondary School, gives numerous
opportunities to students and how it has taught me that learning can go beyond
the four walls of a classroom.
I am extremely
thankful to be given such an opportunity. A once in a lifetime experience that
I will never get tired of talking about. Kizuna Project taught me life lessons.
It taught me to appreciate every little thing I have back home. It made me go
through so many goodbye’s that I realised nothing good will last forever and
that I should treasure what is currently happening because soon it will be part
of the past. One of the chaperons told us that the word ‘Thank you’ requires
hardly any effort to pronounce yet it would mean a lot to the person hearing
it. The victims of the earthquake defined the real meaning of happiness to me.
I thought success – completing school, bringing home good grades and earning
more than enough when I grow up - was equivalent to happiness, but when I saw
them, who at one point lost their home and families, only then did I realise
that ‘happiness’ had nothing to do with having the things you want but instead
wanting and appreciating the things that you already have. The ability to stay
positive even through hardships cannot guarantee that we would not get hurt but
it will promise us that we will get back up no matter how rough problems can
knock us down. To me, I think having resilience, optimism, determination and
inspiration will make life worth living for.

Good evening, it’s a Sunday night. It was a normal
day. Nothing much happened.
Baked a cake~ It didn’t turn out so bad.
Yesterday, I brought my mom to meet my subject
teachers.
Bottom line was, I don’t think it was my best.
“Yes to intelligence, yes she’s bright but is she
making full use of that? No.”
And I totally agree on that.
Everyone’s going crazy about O Levels.
Teachers explain how important it is to score well
for this holy national exam.
Yes I get it; the society judges us, students, based on
our grades.
Nope, I am not going against it.
I’m scared though. To think that how well you do for
this exam determines your immediate future.
But what scares me most is that I have no solid idea
what I want to do in the future.
Practical VS Passion.
“Jack of all traits, Master of none.” – that’s me and
I’m not proud of it.
There are four things I don’t mind doing for the rest
of my life:
Performing
Traveling
Managing people
Math
I’m not fantastic in any but I have faith I won’t get
tired doing them.
I am pretty messed up. I need something or someone to
make me realise what I want to do in life. Very soon, I’ll be driving my life
on my own but I want to have all the people I love at the back seat because
they’re my fuel. Their happiness is my main destination. I want to travel with
them – leaving no one behind.
I need to find a car that I really like. Time is
running out.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for,
for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
