I'm Christine or Chris, which some choose to call me. I'm a mix of Filpino, Irish, Spanish, and Chinese blood. Predominately, my heritage is Filipino-Irish. Although I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on the beautiful island of Oahu, my home will always be the Philippines for that is where I grew up for 18 years. Looking for a change, a chance for independence, and wanting to learn how to adapt to a new environment, I moved to southern California in July of 2005. Currently, I've transfered to Cal State San Marcos as a college junior majoring in communications with an associate's degree in visual and performing arts. People have described me as being an avid conversationalist, extremely spontaneous, wittily random, and have the strangest but most interesting perspective of things. Although a relaxed Roman Catholic, I am a proud CFC Singles For Christ member, which is a Christian group open to all different kinds of religions.
However, those are only the basics of who I am. My biggest transformation is when I moved to the United States more than three years ago. I am not the same person I once was and I've changed a lot. Some good and some bad. Ever since I moved, I've been involved in two serious relationships. However, they resulted with me getting seriously heartbroken. My first one lasted for four months, which ended when he couldn't ever get over the fact that I was of a different Christian denomination as him and I never seemed to be "perfect" in his eyes. In other words, he thought he deserved much better than me and that gravely damaged a lot of my self-worth. My second relationship lasted for more than a year, and although it started out wonderfully, I soon was being emotionally abused, coerced, manipulated, and threatened by someone who I loved so much. Both broken relationships ended me with low self-esteem, depleted self-worth, and diminishing self-confidence. However, I'm determined to rise above all this. Because no matter what happened, all the pain and suffering I endured, I never gave up on love and compassion.
I'm starting this journal to document the tranformation that I am hoping to achieve. I am inspired to find myself and grow to be a better person than I ever was before. I have faith in myself and trust in God and I know that happiness and love will find me once again. After all, God lets you meet a lot of wrong people along the way, so that when you find the right one, you learn how to be grateful.
