ABOUT ME

I'm a twentysomething creative from the Philippines who moved to Singapore around 3 years ago.

I can understand and speak basic conversational deutsche and japanese but I'm not counting on myself to survive using those :)

Note: My username is derived from the mystery of why taxi drivers call me "Mr. Desmond". I figured that it was from the operators' mistake when I say "Jeff Mend--" they think it's "Desmond". Sounds like a good name so I kept it.

PHILOSOPHY

Even though timid, introverts are the most interesting people you can ever meet in your life. Ever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was actually quite hesitant about this CS thing but it turned out for me meeting a lot of nice people. So far my experience in CS has been quite good to say the least.
