Salvacion S. Altea... (S for Salmorin, my mom's maiden surname).. that's my fullname. My maternal grandfather gave me my first name. It came from the Spanish word "salvacion". My mom told me Lolo Felix choose that name 'coz it signifies my first struggle in my life. My mom and I were saved from the death for she had an eclampsia labor and I came out as a blue baby. As I grew up, family, relatives and friends call me Salva, Salvs, Salve or Sally to make it kinda modern. I grew up in Pozorrubio, Pangasinan. When I was 17 years old (1997), I went up to Baguio City to pursue my choosen line of career. I gained my college degree at Saint Louis University last 2001. I went back home and worked as an IT Instructor (STI) in a nearby city, Urdaneta for five years(2001 -2006). I desired for a change so I left my teaching career and went to Metro Manila. Three months later, I landed at Alabang and started a new life, worked as a call center agent at HSBC Electronic Data Processing.

I'm the kind of girl who manage to be independent as much as possible. A totally Virgo... ambitious, organized-freak, seeker of perfection BUT no matter how totally Virgo I am, I'm aware that I can't get all the things I wanted and some things might go astray. As ambitious I am be, sometimes I ditch my perfection demeanor to don cozy pj's, snack on chips, watch TV/DVD and enjoy the priveledge of doing nothing. That's simply me!
