Some of the quotes I live by (more to come):

"Life is the childhood of our immortality." Goethe
"...God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait..." -- "On Faith," C.S. Lewis
"The course of true love never did run smooth." (will research who said it)
"...the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence -- the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light."
--"Mrs. Dalloway," Virginia Woolf

I am I-G-G-Y (pronounced as ay-gi). Yes, this is my real name.

I am funny (in sometimes sarcastic and deprecative way and ditzyish to some) and scatter-brained. Call it naivety feigning innocence. I can laugh at myself to the delight (or is it?) of friends. But I can easily morph into the role of a mother, father, brother, sister (to the tune of a toothpaste commercial) if need be. Call me unpredictable if you like.

I am drama queen to some, real "PG" to many. If you find having a gap (oops, no more!) and luscious lips sexy, well, I have (enough of the grandstanding!!)

A cineaste, I am studying film directors' works such as Spielberg,Kurosawa, Almodovar,Kubrick,Wong Kar-Wai, Mike Nichols,Woody Allen, Bertolucci,Lav Diaz,Brocka, Bernal,Filipino indies, Latin American directors,European, Chinese,etc.

Who are you? Are you a season, a lifetime, an hour? Will you be here when the sun turns to winter? These are ever changing times. Send me one line coz it starts with one hello (don't ask my neighbors). Someday, everything's gonna be okay. Love will follow...whenever, wherever, whatever. Get here if you can and hold on my heart.
