***

She likes talking to strangers. And loving them.

She loves eating chocolates and watching people.

***

She took some MA courses in Literary Theory, Literary Criticism, and Literary History somewhere in Quezon City, Philippines.

She has a degree in Communication Arts from a university that has the most beautiful campus in the Philippines.

A good film or a good book is her happiness.

Oh and roaming, too.

Right now, she’s the editor of a rice science magazine and international trade publication with regional office in Singapore, but with frequent assignments in the Philippines.

She is a proud Filipino.

Email her for some nice chat at aimacalintal@yahoo.com.
