"My mom named me after the character of an Old English novel. You can call me Jean, Khers. I'm adventurous. I'm sentimental, weird and random at some times. I listen to my instincts and tend to follow my heart. I'm fun to be with. I'm a family oriented girl
I like salty and sour food. I like also sweets, something sweet and cold. I used to drink cold evaporated milk.. hehe :").I love sinigang, I can eat it every day :"). I like bread. Especially Spanish Bread.
I believe “If I visualize, then I claim it and believe in it, I will have it .”"

"Taciturn and am living my life to the fullest. Not a morning and Monday person. I spend most of my time reading, surfing the net, reading, doodling, reading, sound tripping, and of course, eating.
I am not that picky in foods but I love stick-o very much. I also don’t have any particular restaurant or fast food chain in mind that I can say that it is my favorite spot. For me, they’re all the same because food is more important. I just love eating."

"I love eating so much, but I’m not good at cooking. I love making desserts though, simply because I’m such a sweet-tooth. I love trying foreign foods, but my favorite cuisines are Japanese or Korean.
I have many favorite restaurants and among them are BonChon, Tokyo Tokyo, Sumo Sam’s, and Cyma’s. Though I’m totally in love with McDonald’s, Jollibee, and KFC. My favorite foods are Mashed Potato, and the very native food, Sinigang ni Mommy."

"My friends calI me “Nadj”, I have lots of interests in life.I enjoy music. I love to sing but I don’t know if the songs like me too. (haha) But I’m pretty sure that I can sing. I also enjoy watching movies in any genres.
I love to eat. But I’m not that kind a voracious eater. I just want to eat but not that much. Well I remember the time when my sister and I had treated by our close friend in Hap Chan Restaurant somewhere in SM Fairview. IBut I will never forget the food that we ate there. That was patatim with cuapao. The braised pork leg in the sweet sauce can be sliced and used as filling for the steamed pao. Hap Chan's Pata Tim isn't as richly flavored as I expected. I was missing the sweetness of the Hoisin sauce and the appetizing aroma of sangke (Star Anise). The pork though was very tender. It’s so delicious!!! I’m looking forward to eat there again!!! Hoping for someone to treat me!!!(ehem). Maybe next time, I will treat myself there on my first salary. (Hmmm) Hope so!!!"

"I love spending time with my friends, family and boyfriend. They are the ones that I treasure the most. I love to pamper myself with nail arts. I really love vegetables. My favorite food is ginisang ampalaya.
I am not fond of eating on restaurants but I manage to eat snacks on fast food chains. I am moody when it comes to sweets. Sometimes I want to eat chocolates, but sometimes I don’t. There are also times that I love to eat many mango float."
