About the Queen

ayyy lmao

the name of the queen is tasha joie prijoles (yes, i know, go ahead and laugh) caday. i was born on 25 july 1998 in cavite city, philippines. i don't remember anything from then until i was four, and by the time i turned four, i was already living in america. i lived over in miracle mile at first, with my paternal aunt and grandmother as well as my maternal grandparents in addition to my immediate family of five people (including me). there was no such thing as privacy back then. but fortunately, i was too young to care.

flash forward, like, about a year or so, and my immediate family moved to koreatown (ayyy k-town wassup). my grandparents moved to carson, and my aunt and paternal grandmother stayed in miracle mile. i was homeschooled during the years i should've been attending preschool and kindergarten. (i have horror story memories of my sister slapping my hand whenever i wrote my lowercase "p"s as capital while my oldest sister just watched from her magazine.) with about two months left in the first grade, my parents enrolled me into the local elementary school.

i've gone to wilton place, john burroughs, and currently, los angeles senior high school (holla). i didn't even wanna go here when i was still in junior high. everyone told me this school sucked like a dyson vacuum. i believed it myself, since my sisters, both alumni of the school, weren't so enthusiastic about their tales of their teenager days. in the end, it was my laziness that was my downfall. i never got around to filling out the paperwork to go to fairfax or marshall and so i went to my homeschool. la high.

my interests are dynamic, as in, not in a cool way, but, like, always changing and fleeting and never the same as before. right now, i'm into knitting. i'm very seriously thinking about learning to crochet, but it seems like more work and (surprise!) i'm lazy. i'm always drawing when i'm bored, more because my hands like having something (or someone) to do than for creating something beautiful or haunting. i write a little. though, if i do, i usually end up feeling like either a white girl (dopey, super analogical lyrics of syrupy sweet love and happiness) or an emo chick (depressingly dark lines of self-deprecation and world weariness ).

what i like and dislike, however, doesn't change often. i dislike bitter melon and liver (god knows the terror of their taste together) with a blinding fury almost as scarring as that of my blinding fury of dislike for thomas edison. nikola tesla is totally, utterly bad ass and cool in my books. i have the tiniest bit of a fangirl-level crush on quentin tarantino's movies. i abhor hypocrites (aka i abhor myself). and there will never, ever, ever be a replacement for fringe. ever.
