Redeem your 
First name: Shalena
Screen name: LenaLoa
Tell us a little bit about yourself :
I was born in Phoenix, Arizona on May 16, 1990. I love to socialize, laugh, and have a good time. I’m a tad bit overly sensitive so I tend to cry a lot. I have a huge heart for people as a whole, even the ones that hurt me. I believe forgiveness is everything.
I have an ill family so I spend the majority of my time taking care of them.. After things are done, I come here to relax and play some games!
State, Province or Country? Florida, US
Astrological sign? I’m an advanced astrologer and I’ve learned that Sun sign isn’t the only thing that makes up one’s character. My Sun sign is Taurus, Ascendant is Sagittarius (How others perceive me) and Moon sign (Emotions) is Aquarius.
What do you usually play on Pogo.com? I usually play Dice City Roller (Auction) or Fortune Bingo. I’m in a league. We’re called (The Brown Bandits.) They are a wonderful group of people! They make my Pogo time much more fun!
What did you have for breakfast this morning? I rarely eat breakfast but if I do, it’s something unhealthy like cake or a cheeseburger!
Do you have a life philosophy? I do and my philosophy is that beliefs are only beliefs. I believe in staying open to all things but I don’t enforce that upon others. Whatever works for you is best!
What is your favorite Pogo.com game? Probably Balloon Bounce or Dice City Roller! (I also love Fortune Bingo!)
What’s your favorite TV show? I love The Real World/Road Rules Challenges and 90’s television shows such as Kenan And Kel, All That, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
What’s your favorite drink? Ice Tea
What’s your favorite season? Fall, it’s perfect.
Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? I love dancing, singing, producing beats, going to the beach, and going to the casino..I am actually in this video called “Behind the Mask” by Michael Jackson. I am a huge fan of his, so that is cool. All of his fans got together and we put this big great video together!
What’s the last good book you read? The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes
Who’s your hero or heroine and why?
I don’t have a hero, really. I believe that we all can be our own heroes. If you are pushing everyday through any issue you might have, you are heroic to me. However, I do love Batman!
If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? I’m not going to lie: I would probably go into Pizza Hut and eat all the stuffed crust pizzas!
If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be?
I will say Rihanna. Rihanna is very talented but her attitude is nasty to me and I think if you are going to be in the spotlight and have billions of people admiring you, you should at least be a decent and nice person.
Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? I don’t really joke around, I goof around. I laugh at how things sound and things. I think saying “I can teal” instead of “I can tell” is hilarious!
How long have you been playing Pogo? I’ve been playing Pogo.com since I was 12 and now I’m 24! I’ve been playing with Club for a few months now!
What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I’m extremely nice and forgiving. Like, I can forgive people within 2 days or less! On or off the internet doesn’t matter.
I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: In Dice City Roller! Lol
Coffee, tea, or soda? Tea all the way!
Sugary treats or salty treats? I choose salty treats because they go great with my tea!
Cat, dog or small rodent? Ew, I can’t stand rodents! I choose a small white Lab.
If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? I would remove pain because you haunts depressed people, jealous people, envious people, people who are in relationships, etc..Emotional pain is a terrible pain to feel. I dealt with depression for a while and I pulled myself together. It’s not easy for everyone to do, so definitely that. I wish nobody had to feel any emotional pain.
Shalena,
how cool of you to share a bit of your life with us, it’s pretty awesome you’re taking care of sick family. And I like your life philosophy, and I think it’s awesome you love the 90s shows like Kenan & Kel, I also really enjoyed the old All That!, the 90s were a great decade wish we could go back to it.
Have fun here in the Spotlight
Shalena….lovely name for a lovely lady. Thank you for sharing with all of us. You are SO very right…emotional pain is the absolute worst of all. Best of luck in all things Pogo…may your family recover their health, and therefore, their happiness. vey
Hey guys! Thanks for saying hello! Wow, this was written a while ago! My hair is not blonde and my favorite game to play is Texas Holdem and I’ve now been playing Club Pogo for a whole year! Nice to meet you and thank you for introducing yourselves to me and wishing my family the best. <3
I meant my hair NOW blonde, sorry!
Just wanted to say hi and to let you know that you are a very special young lady. Not too many young adults would be taking care of sick relatives. Hope all your dreams come true. Keep your positive attitude and keep smiling!!
what a nice person.
Congratulations Shalena for being picked for Player Spotlight. You seem like a very nice person and I’m glad to meet you. Bless you for taking care of your ill family. They are lucky to have you do that for them. Wishing you the best!
So nice to meet a fellow mini contestant. Enjoyed reading all about you. Take care of yourself. Like your attitude.
Congrats on making the spotlight, Wishing you the very best and way to go for taking care of your ill family not many would do that ( I know would if I had to do that I would it no matter what).
Such a nice profile. I take care of an ill family, too (well, more disabled than ill)…it’s kind of nice to know I’m not alone! Pogo is where I go at night when I have some time to myself. Thanks for sharing, see you around Pogo…
Lovely interview LenaLoa.
I agree about removing pain. :)
Hello Shalena, beautiful name! I love the 90’s shows too.. miss them :( Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. You seem like a very sweet person. It is good that you found out you where spotlight of the week. I was last week and didn’t know it until it was too late to comment back to some really sweet people. I really think they should notify us when you have been chosen. I agree with you completely on removing pain! Stay sweet!! Maybe one day we will run into each other in Pogoland.

You’re a beautiful young girl. The fact that you take care of ailing family members is very commendable. Pogo is a lifesaver for those of us who can’t always get out and about for whatever reason. It’s kewl that you know so much about astrology. I bet it’s very interesting.
While I do agree that emotional pain is horrible to deal with, maybe it will help to realize that if we didn’t go through it now and again, than being happy would be difficult, if not impossible to recognize. There always has to be a balance otherwise the pro to the con wouldn’t and couldn’t be appreciated. This stands true with just about everything we experience as human beings. Just something to think about and maybe it will help when you go through a bout of emotional pain.
Hello everyone,
thank you so much for the nice comments. Pogo has some of the nicest people on here! I do agree that they should email us or tell us because I wrote this in the Summer and I was under the impression it didn’t get picked so filled out another one (oops)..Things are so different now than they were during Summer time, but I’m pretty much the same person.
Something to think about, thanks for bringing they to my attention. I actually am a very analytical person, so I don’t know why that didn’t cross my mind. We definitely need balance and if it weren’t for pain, we wouldn’t know what joy or happiness was. We wouldn’t be able to tell and some of us wouldn’t be as strong as we are today from the hurt that we’ve had to endure, so very good point.
I hope to see some more of you up here and hopefully we will run into each other! BTW – hi roomie! I don’t know which one you are but hopefully you won! :)
just want to say kudos to you I am taking care of my bro even tho I promised our mama I would hes my baby bro ive always and will till I leave this world be there for him people say im so cool for doing it and so on I don’t need any praise in honored to be in his life 4 ever
