So I was walking down the street one day and saw this outstanding girl. She’s totally awesome. I wish I had the chance to know more about her. Unfortunately, I never got to.

BUT, I’ve got something better for you guys today. Today we’ll have Ms. Claudine Chelsea Tan Faylogna. A quick overview of who she is: She’s a Fourth year accounting student at PLM and the Editor-In-Chief of the JPIA-PLM publication, The Ledger. If you haven’t even glanced at a picture of her, she’s mostly stare-eyes and blinding-smiles on tan skin with black hair that falls just below the shoulders. Not too tall, though. Just right.

I asked her: “How would you describe yourself if you were the following?”

Yourself. Claudine is a very transparent, outspoken and loud person at isa rin syang weird at unpredictable na tao, magulong kausap (HAHAHA) pero nasa ayos pa rin naman ang pag-iisip - feeling ko ang isip bata ko kahit 19 na ako (eh I don't look like I'm 19 naman diba so keri lang, LOL). Other than that, isa syang certified bookworm, blogger, pizza lover, matakaw kahit di halata, antukin, at pangarap nyang maging isang CPA-Lawyer (para may positive naman pakinggan hehe), at ayun pala, optimistic sya, hahaha, tipong kahit anong mangyari push lang! Favorite color nya ang pink (pa-girl eh lol) at frustration nya ang pagdo-drawing kasi kahit stick drawing yan, palpak sya, as in. :| (HAHA)

Your accounting professor. A student na malalaman mo kung kelan sya nag-aral at kung kelan sya tinatamad (mehehehe). She's easy to read, ganun, kasi pag nag-aral yan ayaw paawat sa recitation pero pag di nagbasa saka lang sya sasagot pag tinawag. At maingay, maingay talaga sya (forever description ko na 'to eh).

Your fellow officer. Makulit at matulungin (I guess) kasi kahit di nya trabaho, kung kaya nyang gawin, she'll do it and she'll help you. She sees to it na meron at meron syang magagawa para sayo at para sa org. Kahit naman sa ibang tao, ganun sya, nature na nya yung mangialam, este tumulong (mwahahaha).

A writer in the ledger. An understanding EIC (siguro naman diba? hehe). She appreciates every work na sina-submit ng writers nya kasi alam nyang nag-exert ng effort yung mga gumagawa nun. At obviously passion nya talaga ang pagsusulat kasi kung di mo passion yun, di mo pagtatyagaan yung trabaho ng pagiging EIC. :-)

A batchmate. Maingay, madaldal, makulit, mayamutin pero bihirang magalit, mabait pero magulo. Madalas nakatawa pero iyakin. PETIKS, MASAYAHIN, KALOG. :))

A stranger. Masungit, maldita, mataray (first impressions saken palagi) PERO friendly kasi "I" always do the first move to make friends. :D

We may or may not share the same ideas with what is on up there but I’m sure we’d agree to it eventually. Because what else would Ate Clau be if she wasn’t the outspoken, hard-working, appreciative, emotional and very [un]approachable person? On top of that, she has not mentioned her numerous talents. That is a sign of humility. If you look at everything really intently (or even upon first meeting!), you’d know for sure why we have this girl, this leader, as our Editor-in-Chief - An inspiration in a convenient little package.
