Eye-catching lass

A nineteen-year old stunner from Queen City of the South is trying her luck in Manila's fashion scene. Jody Michelle Yu, a half-Spanish half-Chinese girl has dreamt of being a top model someday. And the realization of that dream is not far-fetched due to countless opportunities waiting for her in the city.

Jody has joined quite a number of beauty pageants in her hometown and always emerged victorious. One of the most-sought after ramp models in Cebu, Jody has done hosting stints for Alaska event and other product launches.

For her, modeling isn’t all about fame and glory, "My being a model helped a lot in terms of molding myself as a person. Its more of like having fun, about handling myself in a right manner and learning from every experience along the way," Jody states matter-of-factly.

Aside from modeling, her favorite pastime is hanging out with members of The Story Circle. It’s a group of wonderful magicians, mentalists, and card manipulators who have dedicated their time and effort to entertaining people.

“For several months, I have been practicing card magic and just like modeling, it removes stress after a long day. The best part is, it entertains and amazes a lot of people. I feel like I was born to entertain, and I believe that through TSC, I could instill in their minds that nothing is impossible if you just keep on trying. TSC is like a family to me, and I'm proud to be part of the organization,” explains Jody.

This independent-minded girl is a film buff too. She can finish several DVD movies in one sitting, “I usually download movies from the net. I love watching comedy, horror and action flicks. Actually, anything that interests me,” she says.
