I've wanted this since I was 6. There's nothing really special about that, but I guess I could say I have enough drive and determination to fulfill THIS dream. I was born and raised in the Philippines, but I'm currently working my ass off in the Middle East. I used to model for Seventeen Philippines and several local papers. Most of my latest photos were shots I took myself. I take a lot of self-portraits when I'm bored : I do my own hair, styling, make-up, and the camera's self-timer mode is my best friend. I've always loved Benetton's campaigns because they have/use real people as their models, its always made me believe and respect others' differences. Its not just about the clothes, its about people, and unity. I think it would be awesome (understatement) to be one of Benetton's models. Its not just fulfilling my dreams to finally make my mark as a model, but its to be a part of something as real as this. http://missabbiealodia.blogspot.com
