Music, Movies, and Books

Feel good movies or cathartic ones only once in a while...
Any kind of music, even hardcore as long as there's artistry or depth I'd appreciate it...
Any book as long as I can understand the language that it's written...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2001-Winning the Raffle of Lux Super Rich Shampoo's "LIVE A STAR WEEKEND" Winning the raffle has already left me awestruck, but the events that went during the weekend had etched in my mind like dreaming while I was awake. My face was featured in a two-week commercial ad they had.

2012-Having met the nth-year long chatmate Jorgen in Boracay, Aklan left me bewildered until now... Did I really meet him in person? Confirmed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a great dancer and I will likely offer that talent of mine for free. God's gift is ought to be shared. I have a brother who is an artist and loves to have conversations about his art. His name is Marrz. I can also share him with you. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am definitely an Ilongga who is proud of my Ilonggo heritage. Probably I will have souvenirs from my own region, especially the Biscocho, Pinasugbo and Bandi. I can cook Adobo sa Achuete, Tinolang Manok, Pancit Molo, Laswa and more Filipino dishes like Bicol Express, Arroz Caldo, Pochero, etc.
