Into the Purple: Getting to Know Eds

Hey there, lovely souls! I'm Edlyn Jane Calayag, but around here, you can just call me Eds. I came into this world around the last month of the year, adding a touch of warmth to the chilly December air. I hail from the vibrant city of Bulacan, where every corner whispers tales of beauty and grace.

Let's dive into what makes me, well, me! Picture this: a world painted in hues of violet, where every day is a melody crafted by Taylor Swift herself. Yes, that's the world I live in! Ever since 2018, Taylor's lyrics have been the soundtrack to my life, serenading me through the highs and lows.

And let's not forget about One Direction—my heart still beats for them, even in their hiatus. I'm a true Directioner, unwavering in my devotion to the boys who stole my heart with their angelic voices.

Family is everything to me. I'm the eldest, proudly carrying the names of my beloved parents, Marilyn and Edmundo. From my dad, I inherit Ed, and from my mom, Lyn—put them together, and you get Edlyn. Simple, right?

Now, let's talk about my love for organization. There's something therapeutic about arranging things just the way I like them. My journals, or as I like to call them, scrapbook journals, are my sanctuaries. They reflect my soul and are filled with memories, diaries, doodles, and heartfelt sentiments.

When I'm not busy organizing or journaling, you'll find me crocheting. It's my way of weaving love and warmth into every stitch, creating little masterpieces for my loved ones to cherish.

Speaking of loved ones, meet my ride-or-die, Marianne Joy Bultron, aka my person. Despite the distance—she's studying in Manila while I'm here in Pampanga—we remain inseparable in heart and spirit.

I'm currently on a journey of knowledge at La Verdad Christian College, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy degree. Recently, I had the honor of being recognized as one of the Top 40 Paragons in the RFJPIA, a testament to my dedication and hard work.

My tagline? "Be 1% better every day." It's a mantra that guides me through life's twists and turns, reminding me to strive for growth, no matter how small.

Oh, and here's a fun fact: veggies and I? We're not exactly on speaking terms. Leafy greens? No, thank you!

So, why this website, you ask? Simple. I want to showcase every facet of myself that fills me with pride. From my achievements to my quirks, this space is a celebration of all things Eds.

And last but certainly not least, I am a proud member of MCGI, where I serve as a Guest Coordinator—a role that fills my heart with joy and purpose.

So, welcome to my little corner of the internet! I hope you stick around as we embark on this journey together, exploring the kaleidoscope of life through my eyes.

Remember, always be 1% better than yesterday.

With love and violet dreams, Eds 💜
