CURRENT MISSION

To treat every visitor to Manila to a free sumptuous buffet meal at a good Filipino restaurant

ABOUT ME

I bungled through medical school, then learned a smattering of languages (Spanish) and music (cello). I currently edit a travel magazine and write articles on people, lifestyle, art, and travel for several publications.
