My name is Vivie Ann R. De la Peña, 19 years old, and proudly from Pook, Sillon, Bantayan, Cebu. I'm currently a 2nd-year BSIT student at CTU Bantayan Extension. I’m the youngest in the family with one older brother and one older sister — and no, I’m not spoiled! Our love language is playful bullying and constant teasing, which is why I always laugh when people say the youngest is always spoiled (not true in my case, haha).

As a person, I’m quite introverted. My MBTI is INFP, and I tend to be very shy at first, but once you really get to know me, I start showing my real colors. I don’t like crowded places, but I also don’t enjoy being alone, so I’m always stuck in between. Music is a big part of my life, especially K-pop. I’m a huge fan of SEVENTEEN, they’re my ultimate group! Collecting their albums and merch has honestly become one of my biggest hobbies (yes, it’s expensive, but the joy of unboxing and even smelling the photobooks is unmatched 😆).

I’m also passionate about martial arts, specifically Jiu-Jitsu. I started training back in 2018 and reached the orange belt in 2021, right after COVID. Sadly, I had to stop due to school and a tight schedule, but if I get the chance, I’d love to go back. I miss the training, my masters, and my friends there so much. Aside from that, I love reading — manhwas, mangas, novels, and even Wattpad stories.

College life has been stressful, there’s always a project, an exam, a report, or a school event happening. But even with all the pressure, I’m learning to handle the responsibilities because I want to make my loved ones proud. What makes it all bearable are the friendships I’ve built; we laugh, joke, and study together. My friends turn the stress into memories, and I’m truly thankful for that. As for my dreams, I hope to travel someday, to Estonia for its medieval charm, to Switzerland for the nature, Japan (of course), Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of course, South Korea, the home of K-pop and my favorite artists.
