Helga Gabrielle Weber is a twenty-three year old Filipino blogger, aspiring web and graphic designer, and overall badass person. She SQUEEES! over fat kitties, puppies who look like little cows, and everything cute, furry, and sharp-toothed. Like her lover.

She is usually mistaken to be a big blonde man dressed in a smock, size 12 shoes, and a Viking hat. Or this girl you know, what’s your name, I’m Bob-can-I-have-your-number? Or someone named “Miss”, “Cute”, and “Ganda”. Hi, Miss. Hi, Cute. Hi, Ganda.

Helga is the product of a dad who lives in grubby combat boots, a mom who acts as the superglue to a dysfunctional extended family that spans four generations and two Philippine regions, a small town upbringing, a public high school education, and an exclusive all-girls college. None of the abovementioned succeeded in influencing the person she is today.

She currently lives wastefully in the city. Most of her time is spent rushing from one place to another, for no reason other than to work herself towards zero mass. This is cancelled out by her near-gluttonous appetite for everything that goes with rice (which is everything, in her book. Cheese and rice? Hellsh yeah. Rice and rice? Give her some of that. Pasta and rice? Uh, no thanks), her alcohol habit, and the fact that she can go 24 hours just sleeping.

Nine things hold Helga together: love, a good book or a good story, awesome friends, sunny days, new things, a good night’s sleep, comfortable silences, conversations from 4 o’clock to nine, and Filipino breakfast buffets.

You can usually find her in da club, bottle full of bub, look mami I got the X if you into taking drugs, I’m into having sex, I ain’t into making love, so cum gimme a hug if you into getting rubbed.
