“Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalms 37:4

In a world entrapped with evil and egocentrism, only once in a blue moon would you find a person filled with a blissful aura. Only once would you find someone as beautiful who has devoted their life to God. Only once would you meet such a girl. Ladies and gentlemen, listen and read carefully, because only once would you get the chance to meet Miss Maristella Ang Ricaborda.

Maristella, or Reese, as her friends would call her, was born on August 17, 1995. This 5’6 seventeen year old lady is currently studying in the Lyceum of the Philippines University and is taking up Bachelor of Science in International Tourism and Hospitality Management. Although you might see her as an ordinary model, look again. Reese is much more than that. Ever since she was a child, she would find herself engaging in activities that would expand her knowledge and experience. Activities such as cooking, writing, singing, acting, and dancing are just a few of the many things she’d find herself doing. This Filipino-Spanish-Chinese female even has videos uploaded in youtube displaying her very talented disposition; which makes you ask yourself, “Is there anything she can’t do?”

Ms. Ricaborda also loves to read. Not magazines and comic books, but thick books such as Novels and the Holy Bible. “I’m attracted to long stories; it doesn’t matter if they’re books or movies, just as long they have a twist in the end. The mystery-type tales,” she says. Moreover, the love of writing doesn’t elude this young teen. Once an idea pops into her head, it’s almost impossible if a thought doesn’t turn into writing or a drawing. That’s probably the reason to why Reese never had to experience Pablo Picasso’s greatest predicament – Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.

When it comes to her clothes, Maristella consults her mood. In other words, you can actually tell how she’s feeling by the clothes she’s wearing. Her span of favorite outfits on an average day includes blue jeans and dark colored shirts. But don’t think of Reese as your average girl-from-next-door. This young lady can definitely bring it. If the event calls for a stunning outfit, she’ll probably strap on a long dark red gown. Since then, Reese has engaged herself to participate in the fashion industry as much and as often as she could. Even today in college she can’t go to class without wearing the famous smoky eyes.

As her love for fashion grew, Reese found herself more involved in the industry. Her first modeling experience transpired after her appendectomy surgery. Since her family had a few financial difficulties, Reese was compelled to help her mom and dad by signing up at a modeling agency. This was when her modeling career began. Since then, she boosted her own career by asking her friends and family to help her out for her portfolio and by posting that portfolio online. Once this was accomplished, professional photographers quickly caught eye; and given that Reese was still at a young age, people saw her potential to grow as a model was limitless.

As for her love life, Reese is currently single and not looking for Mr. Right. Why? Because she believes that God will provide her with her guy-to-be; the guy who’ll be able to bring that spark into a relationship. In other words, she believes, given the right time and place, that Mr. Right will fall into her arms and steal her breath in a heartbeat. She envisions him to be tall, fun, understanding, gentle, family oriented, God-fearing, adventurous, and funny. And hopefully, someone who’ll look like her all-time-crush Josh Harnett.

There are only so many things we can tell you about this lovely lady. But here’s what you should know. Only once will you taste the sweet scent of air. Only once will you find a personality that is as white as snow. A beauty as compelling as that of Aphrodite, and a face as smooth as silk.  Likewise, only once will you get to meet, Maristella Ang Ricaborda.
