Favorite APSA Memory: The period before FTS. I participated in three auxiliaries: FTS Fashion, Music, and WOW. Being able to bond with multiple groups of people was really rewarding for me. In return, I was able to be a part of their lives too whether a big or small part. Performing the night of FTS was also very enjoyable since thats when I knew that all my hard work paid off in the end.
Drink Order (boba): Classic Thai or Taro Milk tea w/ boba

3 Things You Can't Live W/o: Music, art, and my glasses lmao

6 Word Story: Self love and appreciation is important.

What's the first question you ask when you meet someone for the first time?: What are your interests? It may be a basic question but I believe that it is a good question to spark the conversation and potentially find some common interests.

What song represents you and why?: Dancing with my phone by HYBS. I like having solo concerts and use my phone as a "mike' back at home so I end up dancing with my phone. The song is a very mellow but sentimental song which reflects this side of myself where I appreciate the past memories despite it being good or bad since those experiences are what make us who we are today. This is a romantic song about yearning for a certain person but I interpret it as a reflection of my past and present self. I like spending time to reflect on myself since self-care and self-love is very important to me. "On my feet and now I'm out the door / Walking by the places that we used to go / I remember all your favorite stores," these lyrics in my perspective represents the courage to be able to change for the better and improve yourself just for the sake of yourself. I believe it is a selfish act but not in a bad way since you are willing to take the chance to be yourself for the sake of yourself essentially not changing to please others. Note: This one song does not represent me wholly and that there are other songs that also represent my different sides ; )

If you could get work done in your sleep, and still feel well rested in the morning, what would you have gotten done?: Wrestle
