1. My birthday is on Valentine's Day.
2. Ryan and I have been together for almost 4 years now. Little did I know that at the age of 4, I'd already met the love of my life...
3. ...my family moved to Half Moon Bay, CA when I was 4 years old - right across the street from Ryan (!). Ryan really IS dating "the girl next door"!
4. I have a dog named Alvin. He is amazing and by far the cutest dog you will ever meet.
5. Ryan and I had our first "date" at the San Francisco Zoo.
6. I'm a tofu-eating, soy-loving, Vegetarian.
7. My parents made my name up. It's a combination of 2 of my German great-aunts names: Vera & Frederike. That makes me one-of-a-kind ;)
8. I have the most amazing family and friends.
9. I am very afraid of heights.
10. I have a phobia of homeless people!
11. It's pretty probable that I could live off of French Fries and coffee. Circa 2003, that coffee would have been replaced by Sugar-Free RedBull (terrible, I know).
12. I am very OCD about our apartment being clean and organized. I hate clutter.
13. I think I missed my calling as an interior designer and stylist - haha. There's still time, right?
14. Fourteen is my lucky number.
15. I have 2 brothers. I'm the oldest, but even so, they are very protective over me :)
16. I am 1/2 German (Dad) & 1/2 Filipino (Mom).

17. I am a reality TV junkie.
18. Eventually I will be the next Imelda Marcos. I think I might be half-way there in the shoe department - haha! Love a smokin' hot pair of stilettos!!
19. I don't really move when I sleep. I've heard it freaks people out.
20. My favorite color is PINK.
21. I heart champagne.
22. I have a love-hate relationship with my hair.
23. I work at an awesome video game company. Ironically, before working in the video game industry, I'd never really played any video games. Well, maybe Duck Hunt! Haha.
24. I majored in Sociology at UCLA. I now work in HR. I have a thing for understanding people :)
25. I love love love traveling, especially to Europe. So far, I've been to: England, Germany, Spain, Mexico, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, and Denmark.
26. I am a darn good cook if I may say so myself. (Just ask Ryan!) Ryan and I would consider ourselves foodies. We love a good meal!
27. I have the most amazing closet you will ever see. My closet is organized by color, and also by clothing item (ie. pants, tank-tops, dresses, etc.). It looks like a small clothing boutique. My shoes are all in clear boxes with Polaroids of each pair on the front. What can I say...I have a passion for fashion!
xoxo,
Verike
