about

Well, hello there. I see you've landed on my crib. I wonder why. Could it have been an accident? A link? A stalking session?

Either way, hello (again)! My name's Maia. I'm sixteen, I'm from the Philippines and I read quite a lot (by quite a lot I mean every time I'm able to sit down and grab a book). Before we go on any further, let me just tell you that I am terrible at introductions, so... yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I become poetic and deep, sometimes I'm as shallow and wordless as a piece of paper without anything on it. I listen a lot and speak less because I believe that God gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason. I think dogs are adorable and cats are noisy. I like living in a world that's completely mine to see and mine to cherish. And as selfish as it sounds, it's just as how much it makes sense. I'm an introvert. Not that I isolate myself from others, but sometimes it seems like it's the best option I have and the one that I can feel comfortable in.

Isolation aside, I like listening to people and knowing more of themselves and how they see the world. I'm a curious human being. I'd love to explore and see what the world has to offer.

I blog because I want to venture. I want to explore the world and the capacity of my vocabulary whilst trying to find deeper meaning from the novels I've read and the worlds I get into through them. I blog because I want to learn. Not only of new words and books to read, but also more of myself, the way I see the world and of what I could be capable of. I write about the things that reason as to why my world keeps on running until now.

Sixteen fast facts:
  • I've never gone out of the country
  • I'm happy/contented with my life but at the same time I want to change it
  • I want to give my family a good life
  • I am very corny (This is why I don't tell jokes oops)
  • If anything, my best friend is my twin brother
  • I don't own a bookshelf and all my books reside in a luggage. Really.
  • I think I want to be an author or an editor when I'm older
  • I believe that leaving without further notice is better than leaving with everybody knowing
  • I am not interesting
  • I breathe bands and books.
  • I strive to find the real meaning of happiness
  • I'm not the kind of person who approaches first (Unless I really, really have to)
  • I think it's a great honor and responsibility when people trust you
  • Sometimes I think that people think I'm an insufferable know-it-all and that I brag about nothing in particular 99% of the time
  • I'm an optimist, but sometimes all the negativity get to me and I depress myself over something that is nonexistent
  • Fried chicken and mashed potatoes are da lyf <3

Happy reading!
