FIRST THINGS FIRST…
How did you come up with your blog name?
After Ateneo, I found myself in a corporate job (I studied Management Engineering and somehow ended up in IT—don’t ask!) so I put up a blog named Mon Beau Monde, French for My Beautiful World, to showcase the “beautiful” life beyond my desk. It was French, hard to spell and slightly pretentious and its English translation was cheesy. So with lack of creativity I deeply regret, I changed it to alyssalapid.com, a narcissistic and obvious choice. And no known title.

What’s the best comment you’ve ever received on your blog?
I like compliments – especially on my writing. But my favorites are when young ones say they’re inspired to pursue their passion because of what they see on the site.
And the worst?
None yet. People in my blogosphere are nice.
