About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To look, dress, dance, and get ripped like Taeyang of BigBang. LOL

ABOUT ME

I wanna save the world, and at the same time, I can't ignore my relentless pursuit for pleasure. So what do I do? Be Superman: renewable energy guy by day, unstoppable party punk at night.

I'm fun, I don't mind laughing at myself, am very spontaneous, and ready to explore the big world out there...I am eternally optimistic about the world, its youth, its ideals. I am very passionate about things -- food, fun, friends, for example. I enjoy traveling, sampling local food, drinking local beer, dancing, and conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
- Maximus (Russell Crowe, Gladiator)

2) Ladies and gentlemen, we are tonight's entertainment.
- The Joker (Heath Ledger), The Dark Knight

3) Let me entertain you!
- Robbie Williams, Let Me Entertain You, from the album Life Thru a Lens (1998)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can provide a couch in the Philippine's most manicured (haha!), most exciting, most Hey-Are-We-Really-in-Manila? neighborhood, The Fort Global City! http://www.bgc.com.ph/

Please give me at least ONE WEEK's heads up though because I plan my day/week very carefully. I usually do not respond to urgent couch requests, like "hey I'm heading to Manila tomorrow, can I use your couch??!"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not really through couchsurfing.com, but I used a Singaporean dude's couch in space-age Shanghai and shared a couch for a Finnish backpacker in Manila.

I have hosted several great people already, and have been hosted by one who eventually became a much treasured friend in Singapore!

Interests

big cities, visual arts and architecture (love the buildings in Beijing!), beaches, foreign languages (Spanish especially, as they say it in South America), local cuisine and beer, history, trivia

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Many faces I have seen
