I am relatively normal; good-hearted, yet mischievous by nature. I am happy that I have been able to channel my “creative energies” towards more worthwhile pursuits. I am hopelessly optimistic; nature-loving; romantic, yet practical. I like to think that I can think not just out-of-box, but also from within. I have a good eye for details and beauty of any sort (which is why I finally decided to give photography some serious efforts). I want to be just like JESUS. …also, when I “grow up,” …I want to be a “sunbeam!” “I am a sinner saved by grace.” …That sounds so cliche yet that is exactly how I feel about myself. Whatever good I can do through my own strength is as “filthy rags,” I know. Yet I try to do good anyway–whenever, wherever, however, and to whomever because I know that is what Jesus would do. I try to keep myself on the “straight and narrow” path by asking “What would Jesus do? (WWJD?)” in a particular situation. Then I ask Him for strength to do just that. I know I am far (to the nth power) from being “perfect” and in fact, I still fall and sin and bring shame to the Christian name A LOT, but I cling on to my Savior just the same. I am called by many names and nicknames by different sets of people (depending on when and where I met them). However, I like to think that I am simply M.E.

My domain name used to be www.malouescasa.com. It was until my subscription expired and I was unable to renew it on time (Thanks to dengue!). I wasn’t worried then about it, after all, it was a personal name. And who would be interested in acquiring a domain name that is someone else’s name. Names of celebrities probably. But someone quite as ordinary as ME? …I didn’t think so.

Unfortunately, I thought wrong. Someone bought my domain name while I was still confined at the hospital and unable to go online, much less to use a laptop.

Hence, my new domain name: www.themalouescasa.com. Does it sound a bit cocky to you (with the “the”)? Oh, well. At least it kind of implies that I’m the real Malou Escasa. The other one’s a fake now.
