I'm a 35-year old artist who is child-like in nature, born and raised in Makati Philippines. I've found a new passion in doing a travelogue and which I plan to blog about.

Also enthusiastic about photography, tennis, computer games, graphic art and design.

Sings and can play the guitar and piano. Interested in meeting new people. Currently learning to surf, hike, and enjoy the great outdoors! Well rounded and very wholesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managing to teach for 7 years, and around 400+ students in the College--by far my most cherished achievement.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about different cultures. How they deal with the 'everyday'. Especially now we're living during hard times with the recession and all. I wonder how it has affected other cultures and hear first hand from these people the impact it has in their lives. Maybe, just maybe, I could help :)
