Jessa is a Filipina student at Hong Kong Baptist University where she is currently pursuing a master's degree. Apart from music, coffee, and nature, she loves reading, laughing, eating ice cream, and spending time with family and friends. She occasionally writes poems and thinks she does it best when she's inspired.

Where leaves would sit and birds sing their song
A tree would stay and play its dances
Albeit the time keeps moving on

If in my second life I could choose to be
Something, I’d choose a tree
For under its shelter I kept memories
And thoughts of you and me
