Behind the Aspiring Eyes of Hannah

 

 Hello, friends. My name is Hannah Nicole Loo. Yes, I do in fact have a middle name unlike my peers. It was carefully selected by my caring, loving and doting immigrant parents from the Philippines. "Hannah" means favor or grace, and it, in fact, originated from the Bible. My dad was the pastor of our small but warm church. He has recently officiated a wedding for two lovers who fell in love attendind services. That's how my parents met each other, too. With the same zealous faith, it was not long before they found each other, and baby Hannah was born. 

But sadly, I am not a baby anymore. In fact, I have been living in this planet for 20 years. In shape or form, I have endulged in different kinds of leaisure activities, or had a lot of acheivements, and most importantly, found my identity through art, movies and books. Here's what I've been doing for the 2 decades that I have been here. 

A family of Musicians 

Before giving his life into serving God, my dad was a rockstar in his younger years. With a long black hair and attractive "Chinito" looks, he was the hearthrob of the whole Manila. His Gibson oakwood electric guitar was his wingman in to getting any ladies. It all stopped when he decided to move to Taiwan and met my mom. They were both musicians for the church. My dad being the guitarist, and my mom the pianoist. After being involved with music and instruments for so long, they have also adapted the skill to play most of the instrument in a band. With this influence, I was motivated to teach myself how to play the drums, guitar, bass and piano. 

Movie-aholic

One of my favorite childhood family activity is to watch movies with my parents. During the longest lockdown we had in Taiwan, I have finished watching 60 movies. It was the only thing that was keeping me sane. I also relate to a lot of the stories in movies. My favorite one being Fight Club. I know what you're proabably thinking, a girl who likes action movies? Personally, I related to the message behind the movie, which is unlocking the human potential. Since I fond movies so profoundly, one of my dreams is to be a movie-critic. Hopefully, for the next 20 years, I would have astablished a name for myself in the movie-critic inductry. 

 

Art Admier

I love art. There is simply no extra way of expressing my admiration with all form of art. Whether is fashion, painted canvas or an sculpture, I am always so entralled by their uniqueness. My favorite thing to do is to star at the art peice, and put my own intrepretation into it. You would be fasinated by your own imagination. 

 

 That is mostly about me. Unfortunately, I cannot put 20 years of life story in 1 blog, but that is a general summary of what my passion is. My goal is to start enjoying other forms of art, such as reading. There is so many stories and lives we have yet to explore through novels, and I think today is the perfect day for me (and you) to start doing so.
