chi·me·ra also chi·mae·ra (ki-ME-ra): n

1. An impossible fancy
2. A grotesque product of the imagination

3. Gr. Myth. A fire breathing monster, with a lion’s head, goat’s body, and serpent’s head for a tail. Daughter of Typhoon.

Pronounced ki (key) me (as in do re MI) ra, the name was taken from a search for an alternative word for “dream” and “imagination”. The
Greek mythology connected to the name Chimera has nothing to do with me, my personality, or this blog. It is a very cool bonus though!

Hmm… more boring stuff! Read on.

An alias that I have taken up in the Internet is Vicky, so I suppose if you call me that I will answer. I am also known as Ria Rosa, another pseudonym that I have taken.

I see beauty in certain shades of darkness. If you bring a light to assist
you in finding this type of beauty, you will not see it. You have to get used
to it and accept it for what it is, not for what you want it to be.

I am fascinated by the Goth subculture. Their underground is their playground.
I am like a girl who stands outside the borders of a schoolyard looking jealously
at the children playing inside, wanting to take part yet at the same time…

I am a dark soul, but I am neither Emo nor Goth. I listen to loud, noisy music, but my musical tastes are not restricted to rock alone. I do not always wear black, and I do not possess Snow White’s skin.

I used to fear the darkness. As a child I didn’t want to open my eyes at night in the fear that I would see something that all creatures breathing are not supposed to see. But now, by liking the darker things in life (in concept, not in its evil morbidity) I have learnt to accept it.

I am a writer. A composer. A poet. A musician. A painter.

I love the England that I read in classical literature, and wish to visit
Yorkshire in the future.

I love France and its beautiful language. It’s as if everything they say is
so beautiful. Not to mention that a major turning point in history happened
there, particularly in 1789 and 1848. Google it up.

And I love Japan. I am a Nipponiac. I have a Japanese major. I have visited that wonderful country and would love to go back.

I speak three languages: English, Tagalog, and Japanese (although am still
not quite that fluent in Nihongo). I can slightly understand the Chinese dialect
of Hokkien, but I’m still hopeless at it.
