About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm a full-time entrepreneur with a passion for travel. Even if people normally see me as a workaholic person - since I work from Mondays-Sundays, I still see to it that I still get to travel at least once a month.
I've acquired my current business even before I have finished my university studies hindering me from taking my most-aspired long vacation to Central America. However, being self-employed also has its own benefits because I have the luxury to control my own time. I can always book a flight whenever and wherever I would like to go as long as my vacation does not exceed a week.
Even if I'm biologically Chinese - because of the blood that runs in my system, I believe that I'm more Filipino than most Filipinos. I know the Philippines better as I have traveled to most places in the country and I would be one among the people who would die for the Philippines.
I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures - and this can only be achieved through constant traveling thus giving me a better perspective of the world out there.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't let your life be sterile. Be useful. Blaze a trail.
Interests
I love the mountains more than the seas; but don't get me wrong - I also love the beach.
I love seeing landscapes, trees and greens because it catalyzes me to think and retreat from stress.
I love watching movies and being out with friends. I love laughing and listening to people laugh.
I love anything that has got to do with adventure and outdoor. I love camping and taking a bath with water from deep wells.
I love pitching tents and just looking at the yonder night stars just before succumbing to slumber.
I love learning and meeting new people that share the same wavelength with me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm dying to watch Before Midnight (Sequel to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke). There are still no updates yet if the film would screen here in the Philippines.
Imagine meeting a Julie Delpy in your life - and your life would change forever.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've introduced amazing places to various friends and loved how they loved those places.
I've traveled alone to the southern-most island province of the Philippines, Tawi-Tawi, and met great people who made me appreciate Mindanao and the Muslim culture more. Tawi-Tawi is like the virginized version of the Maldives sans the luxurious island resorts.
I've personally seen the local fire mummies of the Philippines in Kabayan Town, Benguet Province and was amazed by how the culture of those local tribes have been that rich and superior back then. Wishing that future generations would still be able to see the Philippine mummies in good shape with just minimal deterioration.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always remember to smile, especially when the sun isn't smiling. Someone has to brighten this world.
