1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
So many things can make me smile. Something simple such as waking up on a weekend ahead of everyone else and to find that sweet time to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the newspaper before time with the family starts; having a big vase full of peonies from the garden, and when my hubby passes me by and gives me a hug and kiss will always make me smile and giggle too!

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
A date night might include checking out a live band, watching a movie, visiting a newly discovered sunflower field, or trying out a new restaurant. But we really don't wait for a date night; we try to spend time with each other as much as we can. We don't even need to go out, we can stay home; cook a nice dinner and binge watch a show that we're so behind in watching.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
I stay home and spend quality time with the fam! I spend time volunteering at my church, Holy Family as a Sunday School teacher, Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Parish Council, coordinator of Filipino Mass and Simbang Gabi Mass, and as a chaperone. I also volunteer for a couple of Filipino organizations such as Mabuhay, Inc. With all the hours spent organizing, planning, and coordinating events, I really relish every free time at home.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
My style depends on where I'm going or what event I am attending. I love dressing up in long gowns for formal dinners. I love the classy look that has a bit of edge. If I am going for a date with hubby, what I wear depends on where we are going. I can wear jeans, shorts, maxi dresses or skirts. Whatever I am wearing, I make sure that my best accessory is a smile!
