About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and love fiercely; to explore and learn more about the world; to do great things for others

ABOUT ME

I am a news and political junkie. I like stories, whether based on facts or fiction, history or current events. I am always curious and it pays me good enough :) Music gives me a boost especially when it's an excellent guitar work. Traveling and meeting new people nourish my soul. I am adventurous and brave to do new things but on some days, I like to slow down and enjoy the peace and quiet. I like everything with butter and cheese.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(It is impossible to say just one amazing thing... but...)
Very recently, I rode a quicksilver aircraft around Mount Arayat in Central Luzon in the Philippines and then my friends and I decided to go down and climb the mountain afterward.

Update:
1. Seeing Pope Francis up close
2. Seeing myself being interviewed by an Australian TV station
3. Diving for the first time
4. Climbing the rooftop of my country
5. Visiting a foreign country for one day (Netherlands and Malaysia)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help others in many ways, probably by sharing my mother language and our rich culture. I know I will learn something from every person I'd meet here. A simple story, perhaps?
