Gian Nicdao, age 20
Occupation: Freelance graphic designer
School: University of the Philippines Manila
Hobbies: Always hungry, so I’m always in the kitchen cooking/baking/eating/all three. I also swim, take photos and illustrate my favorite animated films. You should check them out!
I am passionate about… volunteerism. I’ve always been big on being one with the community and helping out.
I want to meet… someone I can talk to and be with for hours and never get bored! Save for Jollibee, there’s nothing I love more than good company.
Ideal first date: As long as we get along well, I don’t care where we are or what we do… unless it has something to do with clowns.
I hate… unnecessary, misinformed and misplaced hate.
I love… pizza? Haha! And cheese.
Traffic sucks. BIGTIME.

Fern (as in the plant) Dy, age 18
Occupation: I’m a student but I also do freelance work.
School: Ateneo de Manila University
Hobbies: On the rare moments when Photoshop is closed, I enjoy going out with friends, watching sappy movies, and reading books which hopefully aren’t turned into movies.
I am passionate about… art and design! I want to be able to share my love of art and design to more people and change the way of thinking that overlooks the importance of it.
I want to meet… anyone who’s down for cheap food and a good conversation!
Ideal first date: Lots of laughter and way more pizza.
I hate… pickles on my burger and Monday mornings.
I love… my 2-year-old little brother and the scent of freshly brewed coffee.
Inequality sucks.

Mark Gabriel M. Malolos, age 21
Occupation: Interior Designer
School: University of Santo Tomas
Hobbies: Coffee hangouts, gym, sketching/drawing
I’m passionate… about the thought of focusing on my career to establish yourself.
I want to meet… someone who’s an introvert because I’m already an extrovert and I want it to be balanced.
Ideal first date… I want to experience eating on rooftop restaurants, or even just having a simple picnic at parks, eating pizza and chicken wings. I also like having long walks around the city.
I hate… raisins and wasting time.
I love… coffee, tea, pizza, chicken wings, and optimistic people.

Regina Badiee, age 21
Occupation: Student
School: Ateneo de Manila University
Hobbies: Drawing, writing, reading, playing FIFA, learning Spanish, sleeping
I am passionate about… anything and everything that has to do with art and history. I’m not that keen on sports, but I make a huge exception for football. I also immensely enjoy talking about conspiracy theories, no matter how ludicrous some of them may be.
I want to meet… somebody I can have an intelligent conversation with, but also someone who shares my sense of humor, and is a little bit more outgoing than I am, so that I can be challenged to be less shy. Or Cristiano Ronaldo. I wouldn’t mind meeting him either.
Ideal first date: I feel like the best way to get to know somebody would be over a shared meal, some place that isn’t too quiet but isn’t too bustling either. Your typical dinner and a movie would always be great, but being in a setting where a conversation would naturally flow is more ideal–so just walking around and finding out more about each other would be just as fine.
I hate… being woken up, especially when it’s unwarranted. Also, unresponsive programs and slow internet, and the feeling of wet feet. Music snobs as well.
I love… animals (especially dogs), mango juice and trashy reality television (it’s such a guilty pleasure). As well as the feeling of taking off your socks after a long day and then jumping into bed. A comfortable bed during a rainy day, too. Something less shallow: I love learning new things about different cultures and languages. I also love it when people are kind and considerate–it’s such a great feeling when somebody treats you and other people well.
Not sleeping sucks.
