1. What movie do you really wanna watch right now?
Parent Trap. Any time, any day. (Laughs) Favorite movie!!! Actually ewan, I love movies. As in kahit ano.

2. Aside from basketball, what other sport do you play? When did you start playing that sport?
Before basketball, taekwondo talaga ako dati. Nauna akong magka formal training sa taekwondo bago basketball. I started training mga grade 2 ata, sa summer program ng Ateneo in Moro. Then i joined the varsity team sa m=Miriam nung grade 3 ako. Nung grade 7, pinagsabay ko siya with basketball. Eventually, i stopped nung high school and pursued basketball nalang.

3. Who is your all-time favorite athlete?
Paiba-iba eh...(Laughs) There are a lot of inspiring stories behind every athlete. Pero siguro ang idol ko talaga forever sa basketball, si Sai Sadorra. She's a former player of the UP Lady Maroons. She's from Miriam High School din. Her coach then, hanggang sa UP, coach ko rin nung high school. Sobrang idol ko siya mag laro, matalino pa... She's in med school right now! Pero ngayon, inspiration ko si Larry Fonacier. Gusto ko na siya kahit nung college pa siya. Nagka injury siya dati pa, ACL din same as mine right now. Medyo parehas ata kami ng problema sa pag recover. Hanggang ngayon daw kasi, di niya ma diretso ung knee niya... ganun din ung knee ko ngayon eh. Pero nag finals mvp siya nung recent PBA championship. So kahit papano, na rereassure ako na may pagasang makabalik.

4. What was your first cellphone? How old were you when you got it? What happened to it?
3210 ata? Di ko na maalala! (Laughs) Siguro grade 4 ako nun... Eh dumating si 3310... #replaced. (Laughs) ewan...

5. What website do you visit the most? 
Facebook and Twitter! Lahat ng updates andun eh... whether school related or not! (Laughs)

6. If you could date anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? Why?
Ang hirap. Patrick Garcia... forever childhood crush. (Laughs)  Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger, loved them since 10 Things I Hate About You!  Or Ashton... loved him since Michael Kelso! hahaha or Brandon Boyd. Pero Ryan Gosling nalang siguro Super ideal guy ko siya hahaha uy, nag enjoy masyado?

7. Do you like animals? 
Yeah! Di ako animal-lover... di ko rin naman sila hate. Hmmm, probably tiger cubs! They're so cute!!!! Pero di ako fan ng cats, weird. haha! Mahilig din ako sa puppies!!! Mga baby animal hehe


8. What is your favorite fastfood chain? 
Mang Inasal! hahaha! Unli-rice! Kahit ano! basta may toyo-calamansi... (Laughs) joke Ewan, wala naman akong favorite talaga. Favorite ko breakfast ng mcdo. Sa jollibee, favorite ko ung fries and sundae hehe (kahit kinokontra ako ng teammates ko), gusto ko din sa chow king! Depende na sa taste buds ko...(Laughs)

9. What can you say about Jeremy Lin?
Di na dapat pinapag usapan eh... Panoorin nalang natin siya maglaro! haha! He's truly inspiring, the way he's making a name for himself in the NBA. Reppin Asians and Harvard pa.

10. What's the worse injury you got? How did you get it?
So far... and sana wala nang sumunod haha, ACL. It was summer of 2011. I was training na with the Lady Eagles, tapos it happened during a tune up game. May hinabol kasi akong break away lay-up, so i jumped. Then i landed on one leg, my left. I heard 2 pops. Tapos yun, i guess my knee twisted.
