Princess Kathleene Gabunales is a poet, writer, musician, announcer, fashion stylist in Cebu City, Philippines.

She preferred to be called by either Cess or Kat instead of Princess as she finds it contradicting with her boyish personality.

She is one of the rising fashionistas in town known for her ragged, rebelious, casual, long-sleeve look.

"I actually got the whole long-sleeve effect from my mom. She's my inspiration," she said.

She would fondly describe her personal style as a "tease."

She works as a freelance contributor for an online magazine based in the US.

She is also a News Correspondent at Cebu Daily News publications.

She worked for Wipro BPO before as a Business Billing Advisor.

She was born on August 29, 1988 and grew up with her grandparents in San Francisco, Camotes.

At the age of five she was taken by her parents back in Cebu.

She was enrolled in a non-Catholic kindergarten school and did not practice the sign of the cross until she was eight years old.

She finished her secondary level with special awards.

During her college years at the University of San Carlos, she first took up BS Computer Engineering but shifted to another

course after realizing it was not her best interest.

She considered taking up any art related courses and wanted to major Advertising or Interior Design.

After having a conversation with her mom and getting advised from the school's Registrars she decided to take up AB English

which was earlier revised to AB Linguistics and Literature.

Being a shiftee she admitted to be a loner and learned to spend her free periods at the library reading books and magazines.

Since then she started collecting magazines and writing for them through email.

She would be happy to see her name and comment on the next issue.

She has always expressed her passion for writing and media when she started writing poems at the age of 11.

She quoted Emily Dickinson as one of her favorite poets and even got a tattoo on her left wrist that says

"pain has an element of blank" which is a line from one of Dickinson's poems.

She is also a member of PoemHunter.com where she posted some of her works.

Some of her poems were already featured in a local magazine and newspaper.

After graduating college she started as a freelance radio announcer last October 2009.

She first auditioned for Home of New Rock NU107 Cebu.

You can catch her on 92.3 Killerbee (Magic 89.9) together with the rest of the gang.

Her interest in fashion is accidental but she embraced the change and started experimenting with clothes.

Her style is chic and boyish with jeans, tights, loose shirts, long-sleeve, cardigan, and heels.

Some of her favorite brands and designers include Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, and Stella McCartney.

She likes plain dark colors and shades of gray but also admires printed pieces.
