3. Cruz, Kareejil (62/100)

The third spot on this list goes to Kareejil. I am influenced by his blinks, releasing electric shocks that has changed my health for four years. Haha. Kidding.

Kareejil is one of the very few persons that have contributed a big change in my perception of life. I consider her as one of the greatest advisers I have met in the course of my short life. Her advices are just epic! When it comes to advising to someone, it is she whom I idolize the most.

One thing that influenced me is her personality. She is strong who does not show her tears that easily. She handles problems in a way that makes her the good fighter that she is. Another thing is that she is frank, totally expressive. I am amazed by her pure honesty on many things. If she does not like something, she’ll say it bravely and boldly.

She knows her limitations, another thing that I admire from her. She also impacted me when it comes to my perception of love. Hearing stories from someone on the opposite sex about pain, heartbreak, inspiration, expectations and happiness changes me a lot, and that’s what she did to me exactly. She is also a sort of a mind-reader, she can read my thoughts when I have problems and instantly gives you very useful advices to go through whatever problem I have.

Kareejil is one of my idols when it comes to speaking. I believe how she can arrange words on her mind, specially when it is recitation time in Values Education. I feel like wow. Haha. Aside from it, I also admire her poetic side, for her poems are really that heartfelt and good, too.

She knows how to deal with people. She has this understanding, humility, concern and passion to people that I found unique from everyone else. I do not hear anything wrong when she explains, she can always justify every reason that she or anyone has made. She is also one of the few persons who I can say, value friendship the greatest. Spiritually, she is the first one that opened me to a new perception of God. Her proud expression of her love to Him impresses me.

2. Nagac, Bianca Lyka (67/100)

Go to the construction site, and you’ll see gravel! Well, that’s her, Bianca Lyka Elorde Nagac, the hexadactylic person. Haha. Surprisingly for me, she is at number 2.

Bianca is one girl that is totally unique from the others. She is not that feminine type of female that will go crazy on gossips, craving for boys and doodling some girly flowers or hearts. She rocks, she rules, she lives, yes, and that is Bianca.

She makes her own rules (with the limits), an inspiration that tells me that we have control on our lives and we can be happy if we make the right choices. She rocks, she makes her own statement, she makes her trademark that makes her distinctly Bianca. She is one person that would not want to leave a footprint in the sand, only to be swept away by the waves, but moreover leave a footprint in the cement before it dries, permanently placing her mark there.

I also admire her personality, her uniqueness, her “astig” factor, her attitude on many things and her overall perception of life. As one of my best buds when we were at second year, I share with her a story I would never forget all my life, a story that started out from being mere classmates, went through some disasters with tears, and ended up being great friends again. That chapter of my life with her has taught me some of my life’s greatest lessons and has helped me know myself better. It had also helped me to deal with some events on my life after it, and had changed my life so much. Haha. Just unforgettable.

Well, now she had just completed a novel, one thing that I would really want to do! Haha! I admire her TriangGULO, bad thing I was not able to finish it yet, but I am wondering now what the ending is. I am also amazed by how strong she is on problems, and how she has learned on those problems that life has thrown on her. She is also one of those persons wherein there’ll be no dull moments when you are with her. She is a curious person who’ll endlessly ask you question, a joker who’ll keep you smiling, and a storyteller who has loads of stories in her brain storage.

Speaking of storyteller, whew, Bianca is the one I admire the most when it comes to acting. She is a very excellent actress, in fact she is the best actress I know. Clap Clap! :D

1. Olingay, Jefran Perillo (90/100)

And uhhh, for the number ONE spot, (this comes out to me as not a surprise, I think he wins by default. Haha.) with a 23 point lead, here is my brother, Jefran Perillo Olingay.

He is my idol in almost everything. A graphic designer on an almost-professional talent, it is he whom I look up to when I open the photoshop window. He is a good speaker, tested in debates (and in marketing), one more thing that I admire. A good actor, proven in storytelling contests, role plays and dramatic monologue competitions.

If there is one person who inspires me the greatest in music, that would be him. A bassist, a lead guitarist, somehow a pianist, a drummer, a cajon master, a drummer of all sorts – he can form a one-man band himself. He is also a good singer and a great musical conductor, and that amazes me even more.

Jefran is one person who never stops on one thing, and will always struggle to learn more things to add in his long list of abilities. Not only is he good in editing photos but her artistic instincts extend to layouting, advertising and almost any printable material on Earth. He can even make you a billboard as long as you give him the budget.

He always try to venture fields he had never gone to before; he is in constant test of himself for he always wants to improve – one mindset that I have learned from him, to never stop learning. Now, he is trying writing, photography, theology and human psychology, I am just inspired by how he learns.

He is a man who always shares. He’ll tell you what he sees in the internet. He’ll share to you a part of his allowance, haha. He’ll share to you his stories in life that will make you think deep, he’ll share to you words of wisdom and encouragement that will set your everyday mood on, and he shared to me a friendship that I’ll never ever forget.

One of the greatest things that Jefran has is his leadership. Being the president of the Youth in the Church, he leads everyone that effectively. I really admire how he interacts with people, how he starts his plans, how he encourages everyone, and how he visualizes success. Jefran is a big and careful thinker.

He gave the word “friendship” to me a whole new different meaning. My conception of friendship changed from just being together everyday, to feeling care and love for the other person. He taught me to be open, to tell what is inside me, to not be affected by what other people say and moreover, to trust. There is also one thing that I learned from him that I value most, humility and forgiveness.

What I also like about him is his firm principles in life. He holds tight to his beliefs as long as he knows that he is right. He does not get affected by what he sees and hears that easily, for he has this clear standpoint on his life. He has his opinions on everything and that is where he’ll stick. He is not fecal-minded when it comes to things. Haha.

Spiritually, he is the one who changed me the most. After attending in their church for five months now, my soul has been completely renewed. The Almighty Being that I was once saw as a lesser priority in life suddenly become a “first” in almost everything. Jefran, I guess, is the gravity that pulled me closer to God again.

===========================

That is the end of the list. Haha. To everyone listed, thank you a LOT :D
