Ellen lives in Manila, Philippines with her mom, brothers and a cat. She was born in 1974. When not working, she surfs the internet for news, changes her website’s template, writes, does watercolor portraits, eats blueberry cheesecake and watches movies. Her book collection includes JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Max Lucado and Jessica Zafra. She regularly attends church service in Christ’s Commission Fellowship.

Part of her dream of travelling the world has been fulfilled when she went to London, England in July 2007. There she lived her life in obscurity, away from the internet, menacing Manila traffic, rude taxi drivers and local paparazzi. She wants to see more of Europe and the US someday.
