bio

hi you.

I’m Kelly

that’s the briefest, smallest and simplest bio I can give you

I like caffeine, visual arts, books, music and films more than anything

as well as tragic stories, daytime wonder, alone time and late night milk gulps

I like coffee 97% of the time

and drink it in just about any way I can

cold hot black creamy no sugar no cream

and in any place, any time of the day

I like to play with pencils and colors too

I call myself a self-taught artist

yes, I taught myself how draw

no, I’m not an artist

I feel self-conscious calling myself close to that

I feel slightly uneasy even calling my drawings “art”

because they’re just drawings

no more than that

I like reading, yes

my favourite writer is Jack Kerouac

my favourite book is a million little pieces by James Frey because of one to many reasons

I hate science-fiction because it gives me headaches

and every once and a while, nightmares

I like realistic fictions and memoirs

just because I like finding common things between me and the protagonist

and because I’m a bad-ass gut-kicking fist-pumping realist

and I love true to life stories

aust as I like the Bio and history channel

of course I like music, who doesn’t?
my favourite band is The Killers

why?

because they are the killers

that’s why

and partly because their songs float me high up mid-air 

because just as the song plays i have every reason to close my eyes and let myself indulge to the rhythm 

I’m also equally in love with

The Temper Trap because all their songs are down right beautiful

and nostalgic, very.

I also like female vocalists

like Florence Welch and Lykke Li

because they’re not just singers,

they’re writers with poetry to share with the world

and because I can sing along to their verses with pride

and without having to lower my voice like a man

I don’t like lorde for royals

I like her for glory and gore

I like watching movies, whenever

in the dead hours of the night

one of my favourites are

the place beyond pines

And the words

because I like seeing Bradley cooper not drunk and well-groomed

also, I like watching him break down

also, the stoker

because enticing and the idea of the whole film is brilliant

and because it’s mia therefore it’s jane eyre therefore it’s alice

and that’s why

I don’t watch filipino movies very often

because it’s predictable and it’s the same abscbn ultra bitch artistas

because it’s Shaina magdayao waking up on a horror film with perfectly curled hair

but when I do

It’s probably 80’s or 90’s film watching with pops

or the remote’s missing & we're stuck on cinema 1

I’m taking up the not so magnificent course of tourism

without the goal of being an attendant

If I could, I would roam around the world getting paid for landing in a different airport every week

I would like to travel more

and take photos of the first person who offers me a smile on the airport

I would like to travel more

to get lost again in a museum without my passport nor my luggage 

I would like to travel more 

to get into a fight for bargaining on a pair of shoes too low

I make and I break things.

I wake up Sunday mornings forgetting to brush my teeth

I stick posters of models on my bedroom wall to remind me how much I hate them

I change my mind way too often

I lose my temper way too often, too.

I hate pretty much about everything

i forgive yet forget friends

I wear the same beat up old sneakers

I curse every time I came across jerks

I spent my childhood hiding behind closed doors

I live to steer clear from my destiny

I’m the same as everybody yet different at the same time

I’m nothing short of ordinary

I’m Kelly

and this is me

and that’s the briefest, smallest and simplest bio I can give
