Why did you want the position you currently hold?

For the hunnieees ! haha just kidding; I wanted to be able to meet and help unify others from all over the great commonwealth of VA

If you could have any other position in OYFA at this very moment, what would it be and why?

Membership cos I love meeting new people and fostering new bonds between people

What does it means to you to be Filipino?

For the love of the family

If you had three wishes, what would they be?

Eat good food everyday
Have a magic carpet that travels at mach speed
Have an unlimited supply of socks and gloves

I have two bunnies that I bought four months ago. I don't know what sex either of them are. They're just about adult-age now. I think I'll find out what sex they are soon.
