| 1 | My fashion statement depends on my mood. I am more of a tomboy when dressing up and I have never worn pink in my entire life. I'm a jeans person, I love Abercrombie. My shoe collection is composed mostly of Chucks and a few pairs of girly ones. |
| 2 | I say I have Spanish in me but I'm not just Spanish. I'm proud of my ethnicities and I will always be proud of being a Filipino. |
