Bio

I'm going to save you the trouble of asking stuff about me so I just compiled a looong list of "Facts About Vita Julii" for you to enjoy...?  I managed to finish the list by pretending that someone was interviewing me. XD

1. Human or a supernatural creature?

You're willfully blind if you still haven't figured out this one. The answer's on the sidebar. I'm a venomancer and it's rude to suggest otherwise.

2. Your nationality?

Wait, what?  I never heard of venomancers having a nationality.  But for registration purposes, I'm a Filipino, born and bred here in the Philippines.

3. Educational Background

It's not in a venomancer's nature to study but nonetheless, I was able to finish a BS degree and years after that, pursued an MS Degree.  Still three units away from getting my MS diploma.  I've managed to get an Associate Diploma though.  And no, both of my degrees are in no way related to Literature, Journalism, or whatever degree related to writing. 

4. You said in your sidebar bio that you're a gamer, care to elaborate on that?

Gaming is my top 4 favorite hobby.  Seriously, if I'm not reading or blogging or watching k-dramas, I'm playing either offline games or MMORPGs.  Currently addicted to The Sims 3 (offline), iROSEPH, and Perfect World.  The last two are both MMORPGs.

5. So you also watch Korean dramas? Any favorites?

It's not only humans who have been caught with the Hallyu wave, geeky venomancers, too.  I mean, who am I to resist when even my pets are screaming for the next episode of --insert K-Drama title here--?

Favorites include most of the Hong Sisters' dramas (My Delightful Girl Chunyhang, My Girl, Fantasy Couple, You're Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, Greatest Love, and The Master's Sun), City Hunter, Arang and the Magistrate, Secret Garden, Boys Over Flowers (the plot was a mess but it was f**king fun), King 2 Hearts, Princess Hours, Joseon Gunman, Healer, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Liar Game. 

6. Favorite TV series other than K-dramas?

There's the TV adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire; the highly popular, critically acclaimed, and most of all, the overly makjang,  A Game of Thrones.  Other than that, I can't think of anything else. 

7. Favorite movies?

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all the movies in the Fast and Furious franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Godfather trilogy, Star Wars 1-3 (still need to watch 4-6!), Jurassic Park (the  1993 film), Avatar, The Underworld Series (Awakening sucked though),  Triple X (the first film only), My Sassy Girl (Korean version),  Miracle in Cell no. 7 (Korean), Three Idiots (Bollywood film), and Ghajini (Bollywood film).  

As for Filipino movies, there's Magic Temple, Anak, Walang Himala, Dyesebel (the Charlene Gonzales version), and Feng Shui (I'm not really a horror fan but this one totally impressed me).
