Her story

MS. ALEXANDRIA MARIS AGUIRRE

She is the daughter of

Mr. Aristotle Aguirre & Mrs. Mylene Aguirre

and this is her story

I didn’t grow up the same way as I did with my brothers. I grew up as the family’s only girl, the one and only princess. So, it wasn’t that much of a shocker when I turned out to love fairytales as I watched the beautiful maidens fall in love with their prince. I loved everything—the glamorous dresses, the harmonic soundtracks, and the hopeful feeling it left on my chest, which made me believe that one day I would be able to feel or live like those princesses when I grew up. Though years have passed since I scratched out my Disney DVDs for replaying them too much, I can’t help but hope for my dream to still push on.

Out of all the places you’ve traveled to, which one was your favorite?

Though Bali is a strong second, the moments I find myself looking back on the most when it comes to traveling are the ones in London. I loved the cool breeze and the beautiful scenery in the city. Even if many years have passed since I’ve been there, I can’t wait to go back and experience everything again soon.

Why did you choose “Mamma Mia! “as your theme?

Growing up, I was always a huge fan of music from the past. I usually heard them blasting from the radio or speakers every time my parents got the cord. So, I guess I was basically raised into doing so.

Though I already knew about the movie back then, I somehow didn’t feel the amount of fondness I have today. Nonetheless, it wasn’t until the height of the pandemic that “Mamma Mia! ” managed to help me cope with the sudden challenges that many of us had no choice but to face, since everything about it—from the plot to its soundtrack—managed to give me comfort and a ease my thoughts.

What’s your dream job?

I dream of starting a Veterinary Clinic somewhere near the provinces of Australia or New Zealand in order to become a wildlife veterinarian.

What’s the gift you would love to receive?

Though I would be grateful for every gift given to me, you would never hear me complain if someone gave me a bill with a four-digit number and its signature blue color.
