Welcome to my very first blog!
Honestly, I don’t really know how to make a blog since I’m only a beginner, so this might be a little awkward but here’s the motivational quote that keeps me up every morning —
“You’ve got to be a beginner before you can be anything else.”
So, the girl behind this blog is named Joleanne, you can call her “Leanne” because she prefers that. She thinks her name is too old-fashioned.
Yes, I am Leanne and I’m a sixteen-year-old girl who is currently struggling in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Strand of Senior High School ’cause I badly suck at Science and Mathematics. I am still undecided for my chosen career in the future but my parents want me to take up Medicine for college, so here I am, literally walking on paths I don’t even know if it’s where I’m supposed to go, hehe.
I’m just a typical teenager who doesn’t have any talent. I try to sing, I try to dance, and I also try to draw, but those just aren’t really my thing. I like calligraphy though, even though I’m not that good, I just like to write and scribble words. I also have low self-esteem so I don’t try new things that much but when I’m with my family and friends, I get to have new experiences!
My parents are very supportive of me, they are everything I could ever ask for. My dad’s name is “Joseph” and my mom’s name is “Leah” so they combined it and came up with Joleanne. My dad works overseas and my mom stays with us. I’m not really showy of my love but I really want them to know that they are my main source of happiness, and if I will be given a chance to live another life, I would choose to be their daughter again and again. ☹
I have two siblings, a girl and a boy, and I’m in the middle. I look nothing like them, although we have many similarities on attitude and behavior, of course, because we were raised by the same people in the same environment. My sister and I always fought with each other when we were young, but now that we’re both teens, we can open up about anything. I don’t always say this, but I’m really thankful to have a sister like her. She taught me stuff and let me discover things about myself I didn’t even know about. She’s now studying in Makati, but we often talk in our social media accounts. I think history is repeating itself because now, my younger brother and I are the ones who fight almost everyday. But I love him soooo much even though he thinks I don’t, LOL, you can stop being annoying first.
I am a very clingy, very loud and very annoying friend. Despite all that, they still love me. They stayed beside me and for that I am so grateful. I have great friends that I can never live without. They were the moonlight in my darkest nights, they literally gave me hope in life. I love my friends so much! My entire world would be so dull and boring if they weren’t here. If you guys are reading this, I want you all to know that you deserve every love and care in this world. yieeeut
I also want to mention my cousin slash best friend slash sister-from-another-mother slash partner-in-crime slash sissies-for-life, Cayle Jullia. You may be dumb most of the time but I will always be here for you no matter what happens. I am so thankful to have someone like her because she’s my go-to person. She’s the person who knows me the most and she has seen everything (literally inside and outside) in me. I know we haven’t been together that much lately because we’re both busy but when we’re with each other it’s like my whole world suddenly brightens up lol I miss you ‘lil chicken nugget!
I listen to different genres of music, it all depends on my mood. I often listen to Classical, OPM, and Korean Ballads. My favorite singers are Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, and Paul Anka. For my favorite bands, there’s Parokya Ni Edgar, Hale, Silent Sanctuary, etc. As for Korean groups or singers, I listen to SEVENTEEN, EXO, iKON, Girl’s Day, IU, and Bbolbbalgan4!
Hobbies? I don’t really have that much. Overthinking, I guess. I just listen to music, stare at the stars or at my ceiling, then random thoughts will come rushing inside my brain, and it will slowly creep into my heart, making me sad most nights, especially when the clock strikes 12 midnight. But I still go on with my life, like it’s only normal to feel that way. Like it’s what I’m used to do.
If I’m not doing anything, I also spend my time on Netflix. I watch the series F R I E N D S whenever I can’t put up with my loneliness. It really helps because it’s so funny! Lonely nights are unbearable and shows like this are the escapes I really need. My favorite character is Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing.
That’s all! See? My life is a so-so. Nothing special. It’s not-so-interesting but I want to appreciate everyone who’s been there for me since day one ♥♥♥ Thank you, guys! If you wanna know more about me, you better follow my Twitter account, lol.
