Where My Journey Began

Turning 18 is more than just a number — it’s a moment that marks growth, gratitude, and becoming. This debut isn’t just about a party, it’s about celebrating everything that brought me here: my family, my roots, my memories, and the people who’ve stood beside me.
Growing up between two worlds — the Philippines and the U.S. — taught me to value every connection, every culture, and every moment that shaped who I am.
This celebration is my way of honoring the past, embracing the present, and stepping into the future — with a grateful heart and a lot of love.
Thank you for being part of it. 💫
A Glimpse Into My Eighteen Years
From quiet mornings with my lola and lolo in the Philippines to bright city nights in the States, my journey has been anything but ordinary. I spent my early years surrounded by warmth, tradition, and simple joys — memories that will always have a special place in my heart.
In the middle of my teenage years, life brought me to a new chapter — living in the U.S. with my mom and dad. It was a big change, but also a beautiful chance to grow, dream bigger, and explore who I am.
I’ve learned to fall in love with the little things:
🍫 A slice of chocolate cake after a long day,
✨ A drive through the city just to watch the lights,
🍜 And the funny love-hate relationship I have with food (I swear I’m always hungry, but picky!).
More than anything, I’ve come to appreciate the people, places, and experiences that made me who I am today. This debut is a celebration of those moments — and of everything I’m still becoming.
