"it's my way of giving back"
MEET:
THE SCENE STEALER
RIANA PANGINDIAN
"Believing is the first step to success."
At some point in your life, you must've wondered what your purpose in life was - whether it's that medical degree your parents have been wanting you to finish or the eccentric artist in you waiting to bloom. However, a purpose-driven life will only be possible with what your heart screams at you.
Truly, only a selection of people succeed in doing so and we're more than honored to share a passionate gal who knows exactly the language we all admire.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
"I guess for me, everything happened quite fast and smooth. Like one day, people randomly volunteered me to be a class representative for a school pageant and then later, various opportunities came and made me realize that I have a liking and passion for it (modelling)."
However, I could say that my family, my dream, or goal, and my desire to please God are my constant inspirations to work hard and excel in my craft."
HOW DID THIS LEAD YOU TO MAKE YOUR MASTERPIECE?
"Every time I prepare for shoots and/or fashion shows, I remind myself: who am I doing this for? Of course, the client. But most importantly, I do it for the audience of One. Him alone should be pleased and glorified.
Also, I think about the great support and affirmation my family and friends give me. It reminds me to always strut and stike more than what is expected. It's my way of giving back."
First, the runway. Next the world stage - RIANA PANGINDIAN is definitely the supermodel-in-the-making that you have to put under your radar. With her head-turning finesse and eccentric charm, we're sure she's not just another pretty face as she exuberates her undying faith and passionate spirit.
