My reply:

Hello ___________!

Thank you for thinking about me. However, I do not encourage anyone to come to me with such requests. This is not how I want the world to know and remember me. I believe that to be associated with such things is essentially to be backward. 

The blog you are referring to is my artworks blog, which features my paintings. The photos of me that you saw on this blog are mere photo-ops. This is how I wish to be known and to be remembered: as a Filipino artist.

Please believe me when I say that I shun all forms of discussion of topics such as amulets and talismans. Believe me also when I say that, HAD I WANTED TO, I would be in as many interviews as I want. However, I do NOT WANT TO.

I wish you the best of luck on your academic requirements.
