Some side notes — I was trying to locate my Toastmasters Speeches in Facebook Notes from way back 2011 and for some reason, the notes themselves are very elusive. Was the Facebook notes section archived or deactivated? I was not even aware of this shift, really. In the meantime, I shall copy and paste whatever transcript that I can find.

Jester. Free-writer. Whistler. Dreamer. These are the four adjectives that could describe a commediene, a storyteller, a singer and a kid. Four personas in one - and that is Ella's persona.
Ladies and Gentlemen, as Demi Lovato sings it, this is real, this is me... I would like you to give a glimpse of who Ella is.
A descendant of a chinese race, mixed with a race of a pure Boholano that migrated to Leyte and then to Manila, a name Maria Ella was born in Pasay City. The name was of a wondrous history, a biblical first name, and a romantic yet ironic second name - which came from the first love of her father.
She grew up in Makati, a privileged town, which she claims as her province since time immemorial. She was fortunate enough to experience an affordable education - tuition, as well as books and school supplies were free. She finishes her elementary and secondary education here, and decided to take the Certified Public Accountant race through enrolling the rigorous BS Accountancy course at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Fortunate events came, after receiving the CPA certificate no. 125082, she decided to be a public servant - a Financial Analyst in the Department of Finance.
A natural comic, she loves to tell stories with a sense of humor, never tires herself from laughing, and never stops talking and telling jokes. She's a crowd pleaser, although some of her jests are not a humor anymore, leading to a pinch of sarcasm in few. She always has her gaga moments, both consciously crafted and unconsciously created. Humor, as if defines, brings laughter to the one you're giving it to.
She spends her free time on social networks, updating with her friends in the world wide web. She loves free-writing and online blogging, creating literary pieces. She also loves to comment on topics relating to public finance, economics and governance - since she was applying what she is learning and what she would like to learn on those aspects.
She loves to sing, as much as she wants to, whenever and wherever she was. She would not contain her thirst for singing as she claims it, and for every opportunity that music is giving her - she would love to take it, challenging the notes - beaming the souls of the sounds at the top of her lungs. She has seen in different places singing with confidence, and she doesn't care whatever the world tell her - she would no stop even the world tells her to.
A wild dreamer, she keeps on believing that teaching is her calling. She perceived that once she attained what she is tasked to do, the fate will do everything to challenge her to this race, pursuing the change in every student she will be teaching thereto. She believed that it is in the teaching profession that you would not only share what you learned in books, but also what you learned through life as a whole. She would like to entice the students to aspire and inspire. She would dream of a Utopian sort - a nation without corruption, dirty politics, crimes and other societal cancers - and she is willing to be one of the tools to attain it.
She will be a catalyst of change.
[Hi Toastmasters, I want to be a kibitzer for your forums first, I want to see how your "club" works, and please allow me to simmer the moments of being an observant to your group, while being cognizant to your activities for the members. Pwede po bang makita ko muna kayo in action?]
