In honor of my 26th birthday, I wanted to share 26 facts about myself.

1. I am a morning person. I love starting my day at 5 a.m. I'm way more productive since I have little to no distractions.

2. I went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, California. I was a Merchandise Marketing major.

3. I’m a full-time Social Media Manager. When I'm not roaming, I help companies build their brands online as well as market their services on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google.

4. I started traveling so I can find myself, meet new people, and grow to the person I want to be. I'm still on that journey. I don't think it's ever going to end.

5. I lived in Los Angeles for two years. I had the time of my life going to FIDM and working at an online fashion magazine. At 20, I was going to press luncheons, covering launch parties, and styling for fashion shows. I even got to interview Maria Sharapova about her candy brand, Sugarpova!

6. I was a pescatarian for 6 years! I just started eating meat again.

7. I was born in the Philippines. I moved to the US when I was 10 years old.

8. I’m the style-obsessed friend. My girls often text me for fashion advice. I think it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

9. I have TWO first names: Gene Margareth. My brother and I both have the same first name (Gene Marco), so we both go by our second first name. Confused? So am I!

10. I've grown to like the silent "h" at the end of my name. I kind of hated it growing up. Oh, and my name is pronounced "MargareT."

11. I'm a chocoholic. I could eat a whole bag of Bark Thins, preferably dark chocolate!

12. I don't mind doing the dishes, but I hate putting them away! Same with laundry, I don't mind washing my clothes, but I absolutely have no patience for folding them.

13. I could eat sushi every day.

14. I used to dance when I was in middle school and high school. I used to think I was an excellent hip-hop dancer, but it was all confidence!

15. I'm a dog lover. I want to pet every doggo I see, but I don't. I just end up watching videos on Facebook for 15 minutes.

16. Music festivals are my definition of a great spring/summer vacation with friends. I'm a fan of EDM, enjoy jamming to indie-pop music, and love listening to Jazz music for a chill night at home. Frank Sinatra is my favorite!

17. I have a beagle named Stella. She's the cutest and sweetest thing ever. I also have an honorary English bulldog, Titus, who is the biggest goof. I love him. He's my roommate's dog.

18. I enjoy reading self-help books. Some of my favorites are: "You're a Badass" by Jen Sincero, "Girlboss" by Sophia Amoruso, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson," "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss, "Rich Dad, Poor Day" by Guy Kawasaki.

19. I love camping, but I hate not having a bathroom. I just can't.

20. My handwriting is terrible. I write like a doctor.

21. I speak Tagalog and English, but I'd like to be multilingual someday. I've always wanted to learn how to speak Spanish and Chinese.

22. I'm easily startled.

23. I enjoy going out with my friends as much as I love staying at home binge-watching a show on Netflix.

24. Growing up doesn't scare me. I've always felt older than my age. When I was younger, I've always wanted to wear grown-up clothes, hang out with the adults, and go on solo trips.

25. I can't say I'm never afraid of the unknown, but I'm always willing to overcome my fears and take the leap. That's kind of why I went skydiving for my 21st birthday. I'm a little scared of heights.

26. I have a long list of goals, deadlines, and a bucket list! In the next few years, I hope to accomplish some of my career, life, financial and travel goals. Here are a few countries that I'm hoping to cross off my list: Morocco, Jordan, Switzerland, Indonesia, and Iceland.
