Aside from being a BTS enthusiast, I really like to bake. For me, baking started at the beginning of the pandemic, when everything was closed and everyone had so much time. I was trying something new, and I thought that I would try baking. My older sister is really good at baking, so I thought I’d give that a shot! And I really ended up liking it a lot. From that, I started to adventure around it more. Combining things that I love, these days, I’ve been trying to make BTS-inspired desserts. That’s one of my dreams to achieve one day: open my own bakery with BTS-inspired sweets.
I also really like fashion. When I go to cupsleeve events–which is a big event in the K-pop world that are mostly held in boba stores and they make a customized boba drink–I like to dress up as one of the members or with outfits inspired by them and I add my own twist to them. I really enjoy putting pieces together like that and I found it working its way into my own fashion and the way I dress these days.

Here are some more fun facts about me!
Meeting BTS is by far my most beautiful moment in life. They console me in my lowest points, cheer me on during my highest points, and have helped me tremendously in my journey to loving myself. BTS is my safe space, my euphoria, my home ♡
My favorite thing to do on the weekends is go to cupsleeve events with my best friend, Alyssa!
BTS plays a huge role in my style, I love dressing up in the concepts they put out and adding my twist to it. The confidence I feel from the outfits when I go to their concerts and cupsleeve events, is unmatched!
One of my dreams is to open up my very own bakery one day, with BTS-inspired sweets and more! These days, I enjoy baking sweets for my friends and family :) Recreating food from anime is really fun for me as well because I feel like I'm in the movie too!
One of my most memorable experiences during my trip to the Philippines was being a part of the Feeding Program at Pitabunan Elementary School to feed and read to the children.
One of my top love languages is quality time. I love trying new food, painting, watching the sun set, and singing at the top of my lungs with my closest friends.
My comfort show is RunBTS!, I can watch all the episodes over and over and not get sick of it. I also love watching K-dramas, anime, Filipino movies and cooking shows!
