Hi, my name is Jun or preferably known as JunJun-Riko over the internet. Basically the name came about by combining my childhood nickname and my so-called Japanese name that I generated from some website. Lame, I know, but I like it.
I didn't look the way I am today when I was younger. I used to be fat with serious acne problems when I was 13. Which pretty much can be related to any teen girls out there. I went on a diet and lost 22kg within one year and consulted a skin specialist which helped improved my skin condition.
As the years passed and I grow into my adulthood, I gained proximately 10kg by the time I hit 22. Being tired of all the mean remarks that inconsiderate people have been giving me and talking about behind my back, I got motivated to lose the weight and finally look the best I could. It took me only less than 3 months time to lose 14kg and gained the confidence that I needed. People still give mean remarks even after the weight lost, but instead of calling me fat, they now commented I look too skinny. That is when I decided to not give a damn what other people think about my weight as long as I feel good in my own skin.
*p/s, I still think I'm fat even though I know I'm not. It's just a female thing.
I'm turning 23 this year and I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I look nothing like an Engineering graduate and people often mistake me as someone from Mass Comm or PR. Despite me very conscious about the food I take, I'm madly in love with desserts.
I camwhore alot because youth only comes once and might decide to leave on one fine morning without any warning. So photos are the only way of proving to my children/grandchildren that I was once beautiful and how lucky their father/grandfather is to have me. XD
I started blogging by end of May 2008 at http://unspokenlyrics.blogspot.com/ where everything was just rants and some personal thoughts. Then I joined Nuffnang by end of July 2008, exposing myself and my blog to greater range of interesting people. The blog then became less personal, but more interesting. Then by end of October 2009, thanks to Jehzlau (blogger from Philippine who was one of the top 5 finalists in the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards in the Most Influential Blog Category), I had the privilege of blogging at www.junjunriko.com , my current blog url.
I basically blog bout almost anything that comes into my mind and my blog is bombarded with my camwhore photos. Now don't go all judgmental thinking I'm a bimbo who only knows how to take photos of myself. I actually write alot too. I have hate comments that calls me a bitch, an attention seeker and a diva, some even insulting my parents (which I've not idea why). On the other hand, I receive many long emails from my blog readers sharing with me their problems and asking for my opinions, some even write in just to share with me how I inspire them. Which is the only reason that I'm still writing up to today.
There are some people who read my blog and think that I blog like I own the world. I do not, and in fact, I don't think myself as being arrogant either. It's just the way I write, that gives out the wrong perception. That's why I always believe not to judge a book by its cover; everything is always different from what it seems. =)
Why am I different from all the other bloggers you ask? Simple.
Because I'm happy to be just me. =)
