That I go to the movies by myself. I enjoy just watching movies by myself. To me, ever since high school, I don’t want anyone to be around me, because when they get distracted, I also get distracted. And I think about them and I miss the movies, and movies are sort of like sacred to me.

What was your favorite moment at Cardinal Newman?

There are so many favorite moments. One of my favorite moments was when we gathered as a community for the 9-11 tragedy. We had a prayer service with the community and I think I felt just united with everyone and the situation. At the same time, it also prompted me to become an American citizen. I had been eligible for a long time but I couldn’t give up my Filipino citizenship, but after 9-11, I felt like an American. There was also a time during Halloween when I dressed up as Spiderman. That was a lot of fun. I have always enjoyed dressing up during Halloween, particularly as characters that cover their face up.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I also enjoy reading books. I try to balance, with theological books, but I also enjoy novels. One of my favorite books is Insight by Bernard Lonergan. It gave me a lot of transformation in my life. But I like any kind of novels, as long as they are not too deep, I just want humorous ones and funny ones and also some of those romance novels, yet not too many of those. I try to balance it out. I like watching the Disney Channel and Disney Movies, just because it reminds me of my childhood, because they were not there. I saw them in books, but now they are animated. I love animation. I love that craft.
