My name is Vivie Ann R. De la Peña, a 19-year-old soul quietly orbiting from Pook, Sillon, Bantayan, Cebu. I’m a BSIT student, navigating life and learning with my little universe of dreams. I grew up as the youngest star in our home system — one kuya, one ate, and a constellation of teasing, noise, and warmth. Not spoiled, just shaped by gravity that pulls us together no matter how chaotic we are.

People say I'm quiet, and they’re right — I am. I move softly, think deeply, and speak only when my universe feels safe. An INFP at core, I’m the type who glows slowly, revealing color like a nebula unfolding. I don't enjoy crowds, but silence makes me uneasy too.

Music is my starlight. SEVENTEEN is my galaxy — the place my heart drifts to when the world feels heavy, the melody that steadies my orbit. Collecting their albums is like gathering little planets of joy — the sound of unsealing plastic, the smell of photobooks, that tiny spark of happiness feels almost cosmic.

I once trained in Jiu-Jitsu and held an orange belt; I miss the strength, the discipline, the energy — I miss the version of me who felt powerful. And I hope to return and continue what i started. When I'm not drowning in schoolwork, I wander through other universes — manhwas, mangas, novels, stories that steals reality for a moment and replace it with something magical.

College life is a meteor shower of stress — intense, unpredictable, blinding at times — but my friends turn it into constellations I can navigate. And even with the chaos, I try to hold myself together because I want the people I love to be proud. Somewhere far beyond my sky, there are places I want to stand under someday: Estonia’s medieval charm, Switzerland’s calm horizons, Japan’s soft glow, Bosnia and Herzegovina peaceful beauty, and of course South Korea, the home of music I love.

These are the stars in my night sky that I’m reaching for — slowly, softly, but always moving forward.
