Pulses start; Cathedrals in my heart.

"But my heart is beating, and my pulses start, cathedrals in my heart."

Melissa. 21. San Francisco, CA.

My blog consists of Music; Paramore, Avril Lavigne. Hockey. Pictures of places I want to travel to. Things/pictures that make me laugh.

Yes, I do play... kind of

I'm a 21 year old free spirit. Always working on improving myself. I love everything that is beautiful.

HALF FILIPINO, HALF CANADIAN. Yeah, I know I look white. My Dad is from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. And my Mom is from San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, Philippines.

First of all, this is my blog, and I will post whatever the hell I want, so if you don't like it, there's a button for that.

I've grown into a confident girl. I'm kind of obnoxious/bubbly at times. I get really loud sometimes. I'm kind of a weird person... (in a good, funny way) and I say stupid/cheesy things. But can you blame me? I'm an acting major, I'm supposed to be weird. It's my JOB to be weird. I'm also really outspoken and sarcastic... (comes from my Dad I'm afraid)

The reason why I named my blog Internationalgirl, is because I've seen the world 6 times. I've been to Canada (Toronto & Stratford twice), Germany, The Netherlands, The Philippines (I've been to The Philippines 5 times ) England, Scotland, and South Korea. I'm going to Turkey in the summer!!!!! I'm just a girl who's trying to see as much of the world as possible. Places in the U.S. that I've traveled to: Los Angeles, Nevada, Arizona.

This is where I post all of my emotions/thoughts/opinions. Some of the pictures here are not my own.

My blog is another way of talking to myself. I have way too many thoughts going on in my head all the time. Where else am I sposed to put my thoughts down?

Paramore and Avril Lavigne fan. Extraordinaire.

I am passionate about 5 things. Music, Writing, Making people laugh (acting), Traveling the world, and Ice Hockey.

Music is one of my biggest passions. I love writing lyrics, singing, and playing any instrument I can get my hands on, or I at least try. I just got a drumset last Christmas, so hopefully it'll be my instrument. :) I'm no professional at all.

Writing is my 2nd passion, I love taking any situation that goes on in my personal life, and creating poems, lyrics, or even monologues out of them. Dosn't matter if the situation is happy, sad, angry etc, etc. If I can put my thoughts about a situation onto paper creatively, I can deal with that situation easily. Nobody else can write the words that I am thinking of. Which is what I love about writing. Your words belong to you.

Making people laugh is my 3rd passion, therefore I am studying Acting at the Academy of Art. Being in a funny movie one day would be great.

Traveling is my 4th passion. My Dad always wanted me to have an open heart and an open mind about the world and it's cultures. So when I was young, he took me to Canada twice. And soon after, he let me and my Mom travel to Europe and other countries. I'm greatful for what he has taught me. Most kids grow up with no ambition to see the world.

Ice Hockey is my 5th passion. Since my Dad grew up in Stratford, Ontario... I grew up watching hockey. I'm crazy about it now. It's the only sport I love. I wish there was an ice rink in my town, or at least a women's hockey team in San Francisco, I'd love to play. (Yes, I'm awesome at hockey.)

Random:
I'm a somewhat artsy person...if I have an idea for something, it's either photography, or a painting.
I never sleep.
Was born in San Mateo, CA.
Currently living in San Francisco.
From a small town called Los Bathrooms. (Seriously. Los Banos.)
I'd like to live in Edinburgh, Scotland one day. Actually, there are too many places I love to decide.
I do photography on the side.
I love fashion, my style is everywhere... but
There's a part of me that's really girly, and then I have a tomboy side.
My nail polish is always chipped.
I love going to shows.... I probably spend more time at shows then the mall.
I LOVE muscle cars, I'd pick one over a shiny new BMW or Mercedes any day.
