Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
finish building that tunnel to the other side of the world
ABOUT ME
fairly scatter brained. too many things going on inside my head. chaotic at times. rather short attention span. day dreamer. a collection of randomness. shy, on certain occasions. friendliness takes a lot of effort. i like my small groups better. and quiz nights too. love silence. need music. lust knowledge. fresh air is a luxury. mountains, my sanctuary. still lost in my starry starry night. most importantly. almost always game for anything. and everything can be inspiring.
CS is my social skills experiment/ improvement tool. :)
PHILOSOPHY
anything and everything can be inspiring.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
a friend once mentioned what he valued most in his travel. more than the nature, scenery and places of interest, it was the formation and strengthening of human bonds; that shared experience... i couldn't agree more. be it a quick tour around manila, the city i love and hate ;), or accompanying you to the innumerable beautiful places in my county or just a quick chat, i'm here to offer what i can to that shared experience. :) consider me a new friend.

a few surfing experiences in nyc, all of them impromptu.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
a particular sunday sunrise with the sun slowly making is way out of a sea of clouds.
Teach, Learn, Share
teach: how to make a spankin new outfit.
how to score the cheapest and, dare i say, best clothing deals
in manila.
uhm, how to bake cookies too.
learn: anything and everything under the sun.
sports, being motor skills challenged, is preferred.
learning a new language would be very cool.
oh! and maybe someone can teach me how to make a simple
robot or something. that would be sweet. :)
