PRESENTED A WEB SITE ABOUT ORMOC CITY





Hi, this is my homepage, so I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes.

Malinao Jr. he is a company driver in EDC Company and My mother is Daylani Malinao she is OFW in Abu Dhabi. I have 2 brothers Mark Malinao he is a 4th year student in Eastern Visayas State of University taking Mechanical Engineering and Moises Malinao a 1st year student in New Ormoc City National High School. I am the only girl. I'm studying at Western Leyte College and taking Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I have long hair, and it's color is brown and black. My body is slim. My height is maybe 5'5ft tall and my weight is 45 kilos. My favorite food is calamaries. My favorite color is pink. My hobby is watching movies, eating, sleeping and surfing the net. I can say that I'm kind and understanding person because I always help my friends if they have a problem. I hate plastic person. If I will describe myself as an animal, I'm a bird because I can do anything I want. Sometimes, I'm wrong in my action but i do all to make it right. I am a person who is positive about every aspect life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and experience. I like to read, I like to write, I like to think, I like to dream, I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night, I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter, I like to sleep early, I like to get up late, I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country's peace, I like delicious food and comfortable shoes, I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to Laugh. I enjoy the simple things in life. Being happy is state of mind, and I don't think people should settle for less than they deserve. I always look toward the next best thing. I like seeing other people happy. When someone else is down, it breaks my heart. I've been through more than most people my age, but hey, it's what has made me stronger, Life has thrown me challenges, and so far, I've come out on top. I realized who my real friends are, and that my family always comes first. Photography is a passion of mine. I love music and movies. Like romantic movies and Disney movies are my favorite. so that means Weekend days I'm unavailable! I'm average and that's okay. I'm not one of those girls that you turn your head toward when I walk down the street, and that's okay too. There is more to life than beauty on the outside. it's about what's on the inside. That's what really counts. I love life and always take time from my busy schedule to make sure I enjoy what nature has to offer. I love sightseeing if i don't have a class. I am out enjoying fresh air and enjoying the scenery. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as I think that family is the most important unit that helps us keep sane. As a family we enjoy going outside the house, praying together, visiting relatives and keeping each other company. The family is where you get listened to and get valuable advice. That's all! ☺
