1. INTROOOO 💁♀️
Hi, my name is Patricia Nicole Abigail Bentulan but you can call me Abbie for short.
Studied Interior Design in college but idk if I'm going to pursue this career pa, but I will definitely take my board exams soon.
I prefer to cook than eat out. Cooking is my love language -- which is a mash-up of gift-giving, time and act of service because it beeeee tiring.
I also loveeeee spicy foooood so much I made a quarantine-born negosyo out of it
I WANT TO TRAVEL AND EXPERIENCE THE WORLDDD
Want to go on a 'Libot Pinas Tour'
Want to go on a South American Tour (Narcos Tour, jk)
Want to go on Mexican Taco Tour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO9kSxcT9Rg) I used to get annoyed with Mark Wiens, but then eventually I realized I'm just jealous of all the food (but his bulging 👀 kinda be annoying thoooo :c)
I used to vlog, but then I cringe every time I edit them and hear my voice + long videos are not my thing so pahuwayyyyy
I also used to have a blog, when I was sad but I changed both to private naaaa cos CRINGE
I'm still into making videos tho, and I upload them on my IG, let's follow each otherrrrr (@brnbntln)
PS. MY CURRENT OBSESSION is SISIG!! I've been on the hunt for the best sisig since and I must say I haven't found the best one yet. So drop your sisig recos kahit saang sulok ng Pinas pa yan (baka makakapunta akoooo) or even your family sisig recipes! Pleaaaaaseeee
Another favorite is ngohiong (ngohiong recos are appreciated too)!
2. FREEDIVING
Any favorite underwater/snorkeling memories you wanna share to the team? Share pics naman jan.
It's one of the best things I can recommend. It's like a form of meditation for me.
3. HOBBIES
What are your hobbies? Anything new you wanna try out next year?
I usually get fast into things that catch my interest, and then when the magic fades (or when I get bored), I move on to what I want to do next.
As a kid, my mom used to get annoyed with all the kalat in our house, toys, art & craft materials (you get the picture). She said that I move on from one activity to another if I get bored with what I'm currently doing.
It became sort of a problem for me around after college because I was confused about what I wanted to focus on for the rest of my life.
Currently, I love doing me -- anything that is legal, satisfying, fulfilling and in short, chasing dopamine.
4. FUTURE SELF
Where do you see yourself tomorrow? In 5 years? 10 years?
Idk if this is supposed to be a 'feel-good' type of entry but I just wanted to share that I really had some issues that I dealt with emotionally and mentally in the past and I just recently started healing like a year ago and started practicing the subtle art of acceptance in my life and honestly, it has become one of the, if not, the main reason why I feel like I started living the best days of my life these days.
5. JAIL TIME
"Kailan ka kaya muling madakip sa police?
And for what reasons this time?"
In my defense and for those who weren't in the end of the week huddle, it was just because of curfew violations
I honestly don't know I'm usually a good person and a good citizeeeen whahahahaha #ItWasJustOneTime (in Ross voice, we were on a breaaak)
6. BEHIND 'BURN'
Why is your nickname Bern Bentulan? How did that happen? Are you the other version or Vern Encisco?
(I actually explained this one in question 1 and then I laughed when I read this in question 5 HAHAHA)
Yeah, I usually go by Burn now.
Abbie is something my family and super duper close friends (that my family also knows) call me.
I know a handful of people who call me Pat/Patricia.
and NO ONE ever calls me Nicole hahaha
BUT my mom only wanted to name me Erica. Period.
But she wasn't able to because my dad, my 2 aunties gave there picks na -- idk what happened, ain't moms supposed to have naming-power because they're the ones who ejected you outta their vajayjaysss????
THE EXPLANATION:
SOoooOOoo to answer the question, long story short, circa 2010 when I was a new student during second year high school, I was seatmates with my best friend at the time and we also had another seatmate who kept vibing to the tune of I love the way you lie by rihanna, whilst keeping on rapping (or should I say chanting) the word 'Burn, burn, burn' -- since then it became the 'tawagan' of my best friend and I and since I was a new student, people caught on with it and it even got to the point where our teachers thought it was short for Burnadette.
But I could also be the nitty gritty version of Vern Encisco minus walk-in closet and all the lavish stuff she has in it lol. Talk about having 300k on hand just to buy a bag from her mom's lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeT1Wp2cU6k
THE END. BYE. WORK NA KAYO!
