Bio

Hi I'm Andrea May M. Lagdameo and you are in my blog.

Yikes. I've been thinking for awhile now of a great intro for my user info page that will really wow those who will chance upon this little place of mine in the World Wide Web but that sentence above was the best that I came up with. Some wowing, huh?

THE HISTORY

GODDESS with a single S...

I'm sure most of you, my dear visitors, have noticed the misspelled word in my blog url. Now, before you judge my whole being based on that minute mistake let me take you back to that fateful evening of March 29, 2004, when this blog was born to the world. World Wide Web, that is.

I was talking to one of my friends that night through YM and she asked me to create an account here in Livejournal. Being the kind of girl who didn't really like the idea of putting her feelings and thoughts in public, I resisted at first. But after a lot of coaxing I finally gave in with the condition that I will not sign-up for it. I didn't want it in the first place, so why should I waste time signing up for it, right?

Long story short, you can all point your fingers at my friend and have me deleted in your "STUPID PEOPLE" list. Nah, my friend might just read this thing and get offended, so after putting her on the spot let me now defend her. (Uy! Balimbing1!) My friend, who happens to be a very smart person, I REITERATE, very smart, (naks! Bawi na!), didn’t realize that an LJ username has a 15-character limit so she just typed in the username that she thought would fit me (Haha!) without looking at the monitor and before she knew it she already made a misspelled account for me!

So basically, that very long explanation only wanted you dear readers to realize two things...

1. I KNOW THE CORRECT SPELLING OF GODDESS
2. MY FRIEND KNOWS THE CORRECT SPELLING OF GODDESS

I didn’t bother to create a new one for sentimentality’s sake, plus, I’m too lazy to go through the signing up stages myself.

And that was the story as to how this blog came to be.

THE ME

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I’m a sophomore, Bachelor of the Arts student at De La Salle University-Manila majoring in Psychology. Keep the faith alive, Animo! I may not be the best academically-inclined student in the face of the earth, but I’m doing fine enough to survive. Plus, I do have my very moments of glory. Most of the time, though, I’m fighting for dear life hanging on to my barely-passed scores!

I love basketball, as blatantly expressed through my blog’s theme. I used to play basketball during my high school years but that seems to be eons ago as I haven’t played any formal game for several months now. Even though, I don’t play that much as before, I still love the game. I’m a big NBA fan and a bigger INDIANA PACERS fan. I love watching basketball games. There’s just this certain euphoria in it that I cannot find in anything else. I watched my first basketball game on television back when I was still in kindergarten. It was a PBA game with the Alaska team battling Ginebra. I USED to like PBA a lot, too. My favorite team was Alaska but ever since the influx of Fil-ams, my interest for that league slowly waned. It’s another story for me and the NBA though. I just keep on loving it more and more with time.

Another thing that I’m in love with is writing. I write whatever emotions I have inside of me, although I must admit, that inspiration to write doesn’t always come from good times. It’s more of the bad ones that really turn my writing mode on. I may suck at it but who the hell cares, I don’t write to be structurally correct. I just write for the fun of it. Some people have told me that I am good at this, actually, but I don’t take those kinds of things, seriously. They must have been just carried away by the verbosity of my works. Yes, I admit to be very verbose and when it comes to academic compositions, I consciously shy away from that trait of mine, but otherwise, I can go on and on and on, paragraph after paragraph when I can say what exactly I want to say in a sentence. I have this very weird habit when it comes to writing. I write about a lot of things during the wee hours of the day and then go to sleep feeling really happy about what I wrote. However, the exact moment I wake up, I remember what I wrote and suddenly feel the opposite of what I did before I slept and end up deleting them. Hopefully, this will not be one of my deleted writings. I want to be a writer someday although I know for myself that I’m not good enough to be one so I just hope that I’ll be rich enough to be able to publish my own book! Seriously, writing a book is included in my wildest dreams. Ahhh. Just the thought of it makes me really excited!

I also love music. Yes, not only am I a frustrated writer, but also a frustrated musician, at that! I don’t know how to play any instruments although I studied organ/piano back in the day. I don’t remember a thing about it now. I love listening to all kinds of music. I’m not really too conscious about the genre because I think that just ruins the beauty of it. I mean, why put yourself in a single box when you can enjoy everything! My CD collection is comprised of artists ranging from Kanye West to Oasis to Christian Bautista to Alanis Morissette to Mariah Carey to even Nine Days! My very first CD ever is Backstreetboys’ Backstreet’s Back! But my very first cassette tape was that of Smokey Mountain’s and and Andrew E.’s! Yeah. I loved those albums back when I was a kid and I’m not ashamed of that. However the first cassette tape that I bought on my own back when I was barely six was that of Introvoys' because for the first two cassette tapes, I only asked someone to buy it for me. I love that band. Where the hell are they anyways? Now how about that for not being stuck in one genre? Oh and I also have Mp3s of rare and B-side singles. I really enjoy anything as long as it sounds nice for me.

I have very few serious principles in life, but I REALLY STICK to those few things. As a good friend described me, “Si Andrea paninindigan niya yung pinaniniwalaan ninya. Kumabaga masama na kung masama pero yun yung tama sa kanya”. Yeah, that’s me. I have a wide array of quirky habits, though and just as with my serious beliefs in life, I also REALLY STICK to those habits! I’ll probably just talk about them specifically in one of my entries.

I dream of big things and I want to realize all of them. Maybe because, I’m still very young and that the idealist in me is still very much alive. Or maybe it’s because so many people have doubted me that I just want to prove them wrong. Or maybe it’s because I’ve always been running to chase after my perfect brother and I got so used to it. Don’t get me wrong I have a very close relationship with my brother. Of course, there are the inevitable fights every now and then, but most of the times, we’re really tight. The thing is, he’s always been the great guy. The one who everybody thinks will do great things in life so I also set myself to do those things. He’s not competition, actually. He’s more of my motivation. For I know that as long as I haven’t reached a point wherein I’m at par with him I just wouldn’t stop. He knows it and he uses that to inspire me. It’s really a good thing.

This should be the point where I wrap this up but I don’t know how to end this thing, now that I’ve gone too long. I want to tell everything about me here but that will just ruin the whole point of my blog. So I’ll leave this here and hope that a part of you had fun while reading this. If you ever reached this point, that is.
