I have a silly habit of dozing off amidst all the partying going-on in the club. Never realizing until now that it provokes the wrong kind of curiosity among men.

Boring Sundays welcome spiritual stop-overs like these. The fact that I chose it over another unpaid magazine shoot just proves how unfulfilled I am by unprofitable modeling Good thing JM dragged me to this gathering of organizations involved in healing, yoga and natural foods ‘coz I was able to network for Cocogreen and Co (Cocogreen.ph).
