ABOUT THE GIRL |
Birth Name: Maleen H. CabeNicknames: Leenie, LeeniePanda, Leens, Mins, Momo, Moes, Mo Date of Birth: March 23, 1986 Birthplace: Arlington Heights, IL Hometown: Chicago, IL Ethnicity: Asian/Pacific Islander (filipino) Height: 5'5.5" Weight: None of your business Okay, I was born on March 23rd, 1986 to Eileen and Manuel in Arlington Heights, Illinois. I have 4 older half-siblings, an older and a younger sister, so that makes me either the middle child OR second from the youngest, whichever way you want to picture it. I've never lived outside of Illinois or more specifically, outside of the Chicagoland area until I graduated from high school, then I moved to east central Illinois. I am an all around nerd, which I find nothing to be ashamed about. I am a video game-graphic novel-book worm-science enthusiast. I started to do web development when I was 13 and graphic design about a year and a half to two years later. I was born and raised in a fairly religous family, but my science beliefs overshine my religious beliefs, so you can say I'm an atheist/agnostic. ...Unless you talk to my mother, then I'm catholic. My parents divorced a few years after getting married, but not because of financial issues, more like the constant gossip, backstabbing, and aggrevating manipulation my relatives dished out throughout their marriage. Which is a shame, because my parents weren't the bickering type. Only when it comes to petty things, they decide to argue a bit, but not so much that they'd storm out of the house full of rage. My father is non-controversial and extraordinarily supportive which makes him pretty easy to get along with. Although my mother can have a grading personality, she doesn't fail when it comes to being a parent. Often times, she blames herself for things that goes wrong among us kids, but I could truly say that it's never her fault. My older and younger sister may beg to differ, but they find themselves butting heads with her in an almost constant basis. For the most part, we get along fine, so for families to fight among families is a given because it's expected. It's when families DON'T fight where the unexpressed problems are lot worse than the audible ones. It would be only in a matter of time where the pressure will build up and the jar will explode. I have a supplementary parent named, Roland. I call him my supplementary parent because during the years my parents weren't together and our family was in a rut, Roland took us in and this astounded me because, well, he didn't really have to do that. For most of his adult life, he lived sans a wife and kids. For a person who obtains solace from being alone, it was a tremendously big change to allow a woman and her kids move in with him. I'm forever grateful for what he's done for us and if it weren't for him, I'd probably work at a minimum wage job, doing absolutely nothing to improve my future. During the times we'd be in a financial crisis, he'd see to avert the crisis by lending money or helping us find alternatives to make sure that we'd make payments on time. There are times where he can be a bit of a tyrant, but, that's his old life catching up with him periodically. If you ask me, for what he's done for us collectively, it's a small price to pay to "turn off the TV and go to bed" at 10pm. 
As mentioned earlier, I have a large number of siblings. I don't talk to my half-siblings as much as society thinks I should. They're currently living their own lives with their own families. When the family split up when I was 7, they decided to move into a place on their own while me and my sisters stayed with my parents. Our lives progressively grew further and further apart almost to the point where I'd feel like a stranger in their houses in the event I were invited to visit. I have an older sister, whom currently I'm not speaking to. Which, if you ask me, is painful to mention seeing as I was so close to her. Her secret life of drugs, fraud, and promiscuity drew a wedge in our relationship while all ties to trust were severed at once. She was the one I went to and confided in when the going got tough with my mother or with life in general. She would pull me out of sticky situations without even giving it any thought just so I wouldn't have to face my parents if they were to suspect something. Her current behavior isn't new though, when we were younger, she ran away and subjected herself to live on the streets and we figured she changed for the better because she found somebody who's willing to accept her for who she is. In psychology, there's a term called, "spontaneous recovery" where old behaviors tend to come back at random moments following extinction of those behaviors. In a way, I'd like to think that's what truly happened. I've learned to let her be, and if or when she comes around, I'd be willing to talk to her, however, my guard won't be down completely. From this experience, I've learned to expect this to happen again once more in the future.
The one person whom I know I can't stay mad at for longer than 20 minutes is my younger sister. We've butted heads and had our fair share of physical confrontations, but as we got older, we tend to have more of a respect for each other. We have this level of understanding that couldn't be deciphered by anybody else. I guess the reason being is that we've been close for as long as I could remember. When my parents wanted to split us up on the final break-up between my parents, we cried about it. The interesting part of our relationship is that we'd only hug, tell each other "I love you," or show any form of adoration for each other when we REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY *takes deep breath* REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY ...have to. Well, I think I talked about my family too much, so let's get back to me. Heh, this shouldn't take long. I graduated from high school in 2004 and matriculated to Eastern Illinois University about 3 months following graduation. Yes, being a Chicago kid, it was a big change, but it was all about being able to afford school. I am a Biology and Pre-Medicine major, so yes, I want to be a doctor. I'm also taking a minor in Chemistry and Psychology. I plan on going to medical school, but only following two years in grad. school, so I can get my master's in biology or biomedical studies. I'm currently working at the student union of my school as a print center aid (woo). On my free time, I run a couple web sites as well as host a few that aren't mine. I read ...a lot. I watch a lot of stand-up comedy, House M.D., Bones, South Park and Nick-at-Nite. I'm an avid music fan, and about 3 hours of my day are spent listening to music. I'm not big on watching movies. I feel as though the movies being put out now are just lacking in originality and often times, are very predictable. I watch a few cartoons here and there, but y'know, who doesn't? GO BACK. |
