The first photo was taken at an art museum, because I love to visit exhibitions and museums whenever I can. I also watch a lot of movies and documentaries about artists and musicians. My two cats are called Buster and Stevie, and my partner Oscar is a keen cook - his signature dish is paella which is made in a huge pan with rice, chicken and seafood. This photo of him was taken at a paella contest (he didn’t win, sadly). I added the small photo of flowers in the middle because I like to spend time in nature.

In the top left are my best friends, we did a silly photo together and couldn’t stop laughing, my friends are very important to me. The middle picture is my family. The painting was done by my brother Philip and was hanging in my Dads house for as long as I can remember, when my Dad passed I brought it to NZ and reminds me of why I love art. I am also a Colour Analyst and love colour in my home. My passion is sewing and this is a quilt I made for my best friend in the UK who is also called Caroline. My quilts let me paint with fabric!

In the top left is some of my siblings, to me family means everything. Below it is a rose I drew in 2023 for my mum because it is her flower that she loves. The other drawing is a character I made that is inspired from a book I read. The little tabby is my cat mogwai, I got her last year from my uncles work. She had to go through a lot of surgery and I thought she wouldn't make it but she pulled through and now she is living her best life. Blue is my favourite color.

2026-02-09 20:35:35 UTC

I love to paint and sketch, it's one of my favourite things to do along with water paints. I also love to immerse myself in writing stories and poems. My favourite park is Kelsey Park in Beckenham, England. Horror games bring me joy, especially Little Nightmares, particularly the second out of the three games. I've only lived in NZ for just over a year, but it already feels like home. I miss England with all of my heart, but being here has made me the happiest I've ever been and I wouldn't change it for the world. I am so grateful for all the friends I have made and the joy they bring me. I just hope I make them feel the same. :)

I love making cute things out of clay or either sewing, crocheting or knitting them. I love to paint alien cats and many more adorable things that come to mind. I am very fond cats and bunnies. I love eating sweets and baking even though I'm not the best at it. My favourite colour is pink and the cat in the two pictures shown is named Lacy. She is a little special...she has an odd obsession with sitting in front of the heater in the lounge. If it isn't turned on she will sit by it and sulk with one paw on the buttons. Lacy is very lazy, she'll attempt to lick her fur but since it is too long she gets tired and takes many breaks, that is the reason why she has a lot of knots. She always jumps around in the backyard to catch birds, majority of the time she gives up and sleeps. I love Lacy.

Hi everyone !!

I'm Carla, A year 13.

I'm from in the Philippines and i love hanging out with my siblings especially with my older brother the one wearing the blue hoodie. I loved painting and mixing other colour to create a new colour. I also play scrabble and chess and I also play badminton with my best friend Francine.

I learned playing chess when I was in the year 5, because I was inspired with my guy best friend for 9 years in the Philippines.
