About Veeyah

Hey there! I’m Veeyah Penero and I’m a Philippine-based amateur writer/illustrator.

I grew up in Australia, Oman, and the Philippines, with the latter country as my birthplace. I am now studying at Ateneo de Naga University of the Philippines.

I am 19 years young, studying BS Digital Illustration and Animation and at the same time developing my abilities as a fashion designer, writer, singer, and pianist. I love photography and blogging, and sharing my thoughts to anyone who would care to listen. My favorite stores are mostly bookshops and cafes, with Borders, Fully Booked, Starbucks, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on the list. I’m generally an introvert and regard my friends as precious stones, all uniquely carved into the personalities I love them for. I am a fan of shoes, vintage dresses, diaries, and the color pink.

I’ve stopped schooling for three years to be with my family in Oman, and though most people think it was a waste of time, I feel otherwise. I have grown to love life, my family, and God more during those years, and I would do them all over again if given the chance. I have been a Born-again Christian for about 8 years now, and my time in the Middle East certainly made my relationship with God deeper than ever. I believe Jesus Christ is God’s Son and came to earth to save humanity from eternal death.

This blog will be a directory of my hobbies: a mix of writings, drawings, and random (but rare) song covers/videos. I am inspired by anything associated with art. This is me, exploring the written word and the colorful things around it. Read the blog and discover life with me!
