I’m a Filipino-Chinese, born and raised in the Philippines. I may have chinese blood, but I ain’t fluent in chinese sadly. I already graduated from college, with a degree in business management. I enjoy doing creative works, traveling, cooking, & most especially, anything fashion. I was born fat, & at the age of 16, I weighed a hundred and two kilos. By 2017, I changed things up, & went into a weight loss journey. Did it slow and consistenly, & I lost around 35 kg. Right now, I’m working on toning myself, & also maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Since I was 13 years old, I already knew that I want to be in fashion. At that time, I was large! I weighed around a hundred kilos. So my only resort there was to become a designer. But times have changed, I went into weight loss last 2017, & I’ve lost an ample enough already. I soon discovered my love for modeling and making editorial-worthy shots. I buy clothes and style myself, & I try to ask people to take good pictures of me. I enjoy it! And I’d love to do more.

The industry today has grown drastically from accepting only a select models from a specific race, to a diverse selection of models with different ethnicities and backgrounds. But I see that the industry still lacks models that represent “real people”. Models right now are also real people, bust majority of them represent the ideal image society has created. Flawless skin, tall toned bodies, and perfect asymmetrical features. But in reality, there’s more to that. There are those that are different, and that it would cost so much to change. And in some situations, it isn’t even necessary. Another, I would also like to show that people can change for the better version of themselves. When I underwent my weight loss journey, I was all alone with my mind, body, & knowledge. No help from a dietitian or the gym. And from then on, after making drastic changes, I learned a lot and I’d like to share some things that I learned.
