Karen is a common name. How do you make it uniquely yours?
Ako kasi what you see is whatyou get. Madali rin akong kausap.
Madalas nagkakaroon ng false impression na mataray ako pero
approachable naman talaga ako.

Do you ever start the conversation yourself?
Medyo shy talaga ako pero kapag madalas ko ng nakakasama hindi
na ako nahihiya. Sa simula talaga tahimik lang ako, siyempre hindi naman kaagad at ease sa mga tao. I try to talk to people din naman.

How long have you been modeling?
Three months. Biglaan lang talaga,may nag-offer lang sa akin. Yung friend ko kasi, sinasama ako sa events and photo shoots.

How is it going so far?
Minsan nakakapagod pero okay naman. Nag-e-enjoy ako sa modeling. Masaya yung mga ganito,[photo shoots] and events. Pero mas gusto ko yung photo shoots,hindi siya masyadong nakakapagod and less pressure on my part.

Aside from modeling, what are your other interests?
Singing siguro, pero hindi naman yung pang-performance talaga.
Videoke lang, ha ha!

And what would be your signature song?
Marami. Gusto niyo ng sample? Ha ha! Pero gusto ko yung songs ni
Janet Jackson.

How long do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Mahilig akong humarap sa salamin. Pero sa ngayon medyo nagsasawa
na ako sa mukha ko. Ha ha! Mas matagal pa siguro nung bata pa ako.

Are you a party person?
Minsan gumi-gimik ako with friends,pero hindi naman ako yung malalabel mo na gimikera. Minsan lang talaga, mga once a week lang

Where can we spot you most likely?
Madalas ako sa Timog, sa Eivissa.
