Introduction

You know that moment when you're too much into doing something that you forgot to actually do the first step? Yeah, that's me right there. And I've just realized that I haven't introduced myself as the owner of this blog so before you guys chuckle at my silliness, here it goes.

I'm Ellaine, 26-years old gal from the Caloocan, Philippines and this is my very first blog. It's the first if you don't count my Livejournal account which I already had since 2009. I mainly use that account for reading fanfiction though so I don't often post in it. I have two LJ accounts by the way and the one I shared here is my fanfic account. The much older one is used for very personal purposes, if you know what I mean. 

Currently unemployed (after my fourth employer just determinedly ruined my life for me), I'm now in search of something useful but comfortable to do. I'll tell you this, I haven't written anything more than a few paragraphs since my college days which is part of the reason I created this blog. For writing practice, yes.

I must admit though that I write rather clumsily even though I took up Literature as major in college. We don't necessarily study grammar back then as we're most on research or analysis and I've only ever gained knowledge on the English language because I made reading a staple part of my life. Something I'm very grateful to my parents for as they're advocates of learning and will not neglect even a single piece of knowledge they can impart to me and my sisters. 

Speaking of siblings, I have two namely Erika and Eula. I'm the eldest among the three, Erika comes second after a 4-yrs gap then Eula after 10-yrs. Pretty large age gaps right? Yeah, mama's not the type to get pregnant easily even after planning and to be honest, at first I thought that's exactly what they did. Well, we're blessed in that kind of way I guess.

Ok so I guess that's a bit too personal for you peeps and I'd like to apologize because I tend to rather type whatever comes first to mind. I'm scatterbrained and the only person who can keep me in check is my long time college friend Bianca. Give her a shout out if you think it's time for my medicine, haha. She knows every nook and canny of my being, even better than I do. Kinda scary but she claims it's love so yeah, whatever (peace babe, don't slap me next time ^^v).

Anyway, I'm not really sure how I can let you guys know more about myself. Obviously I'm into reading manga and books. I'm also (still) into K-Pop though my attention to said fandom has already stabilized to just watching concerts or tweeting about them. No more buying expensive albums because honestly, I have more important things I can spend money on. Not unless it's a really good compilation of songs though, I wouldn't mind shelling out a bit more if that's the case. Speaking of which I really appreciate any kind of good music. You may say I'm kind of eclectic but I don't think I am. I don't enjoy listening to jazz music unless I'm dancing it which, most often than not, forced upon me. But I do like musicals though and I'm currently crazy about Phantom of the Opera. 

I grew up in a family who appreciates music as well as a few choir member relatives. My papa for one was a choir leader back in the day and my mama was a member in the soprano group. So maybe you can imagine how my childhood was spent. Yes, almost 90% of it was spent singing my heart out. And I won't change even a tiny bit of it. :)

I could go on forever talking about my life but I don't think blogs go that way so I'll just try to wrap things up from here. You can expect many random things being talked about here from this day forward and nope, I won't be posting every day. I'm still on that phase where I'm trying to mend things back with my muse and after years of neglect, she's rather pissed and stubborn to get back. I'll appreciate a wish of luck tossed my way though if you can spare me one. 

See yah later!
