About myself
Hello blogging world! The name's Johannah but I do prefer being called as Maria Franchesca online. Why so? I really don't know but I feel like a whole different person when I'm being Maria. I'm more myself when I'm Maria. I think it's because I grew up being expected to do this and that, as Johannah. On the other hand, being Maria feels so free and so happy in ways I can't really put to words.
I started to write around 4-5 years old. I could still remember how I used to scribble on papers thinking those were the words I've been wanting to let go. It was so funny how my cousins would let me grab their love letters because they knew I couldn't read.
I started to draw during my playschool days. It was because I used to see my dad draw all the time and he's the first person I saw who did it and he was amazing. He did my homeworks-with drawings, until I told him to stop and to let me do it instead. They used to do this business thing with my mom using a white board and a marker and all of a sudden, I kinda have that instinct to draw on it. The adults were talking and chattering when I suddenly grabbed the marker and started to draw a swan and to their surprise it looked like this:
My dad and my sister are musicians. They sing very well and can play a lot of instruments. I grew up listening to them and been wanting to sing like them. After my parents broke up, I was devastated and but I seem to know that everything's going to be okay. It was hard for me to trust and lean on other people after what happened since I used to be close to my dad. He was my best friend and I could even remember how gentle he was as a father. He was the greatest person I knew at that time and I could see how everyone thinks the same way I do. He has a lot of good friends who loves him but he's human as well; who has weaknesses.
I never hated him or anything of that matter. I went on with my life like nothing happened. My mom went abroad to work and I was surprised how easy money was during those times. I used to get what I want, whenever I want it without even asking her. She just knows. She would send me boxes of toys and clothing. I was thankful for that.
My mom is very perfectionist. She has high hopes for me and my sister. I think it's because she's so intelligent that she want us to be like her as well. I grew up seeing my sister achieve a lot of academic accomplishments. My granda taught her mathematics at the age of 3 and she could write I think around 4 and she's pretty intelligent.
I used to cry a lot when I was younger because all I wanted was to play but my grandma would always wait for me at the door to start our mathematics and reading comprehension sessions. I could remember when I was around 4-5, I was so excited to open up my presents when suddenly I realized that my mom gave me a box of mathematics stuffs. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it but it pretty much looked like a test paper card that wherein you would have to pull the blank page to answer it. It was amazing to some people but for me it was nightmare. I could read fluent English and Tagalog even before I was enrolled in kindergarten and could add, multiply and divide up to 4 digits. I feel like a lost a huge part of my childhood but I'm thankful still.
I'm passionately curious and I learned to play the piano and guitar by myself..but no, I'm not as good as my dad or my sister. I could only play some songs I've practiced a lot but I mostly forget them eventually.
I first used blogger around October 2007. I didn't know how to compose poems and such but what I did was listened to a song that matched up my mood that moment and then turned off the lights and started to type what I feel like writing and that was the first time I felt so free and I could hear myself whisper the name "Maria Franchesca", eventually I started using it as my Alias.
I have a lot of personalities to the point that I started feeling confused but I feel like it's pretty much normal to feel so. I'm a great believer of horoscopes because the moment I read my horoscope trait I feel like I was hit straight to my chest. I'm a Scorpio by the way, born on October 31st year 1995.
I have a multi-talented best friend. Her name's Reyna Ortiz and she's currently studying in UP iloilo. She's one of a kind. I'm crazy around her and I'm so protective of her. I hate to see her cry. I also have amazing childhood friends. I love them to bits, I even featured them in my Photo Diary tab.
I love fishes and giraffes I have an aquarium beside my computer set with 7 different fishes. I have 2 janitors named "jay" and "janet", one white carp named "whitey", a shark named "marty", 2 baby fishes with rainbow tails named "baby girl and baby boy" and my favorite 1-year old goldfish named "melmown". I love them so much and I have a little sticker around the lower right side of my aquarium; a baby giraffe sticker, they always cheer me up.
I also have a boyfriend; whom I'd like to think as the best boyfriend there is. We've been together for years and years and I still get those butterflies in me. He pisses me off and makes me mad but despite those stuffs he brings out the best in me. He's a pain in the head but he's trying really hard not to and I love him for that. He's one guy every girl would be lucky to have. He's amazing.
And that's probably it.
