Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world and experience diversity of all sorts.
ABOUT ME
I'm fashion-conscious, artsy, outspoken , outgoing, educated, well-mannered, realistic, and cool to be with. I value friendship so much. I love arts. Anything that constitutes it. I love my family. They inspire, motivate and give me a lot of happiness. I'm upfront. If I don't like you that means I don't talk to you and completely ignore you. I am a strong believer of what "positive thinking" brings to a person. I'm most optimistic and prayerful in times of trials. I take business seriously. I don't procrastinate. I'm never late. I don't slack-off. I always see to it that everything is in place, intact and organized.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is like a roller-coaster I am about to puke, but I am enjoying the ride and love it anyway.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am more of a "tourist guide" to couch surfers who are new to the city. I'm always willing to meet new faces, hang out, have a cold or hot drink with them,share a lot of stories and experiences with them and whatnot.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience happened last 10/12/13 and it was indeed a great and remarkable one. I was able to meet a Vietnamese, Lithuanian, Burmese and fellow couch-surfers close to my area. It was an awesome experience because in just a short period of time it's like we have already known each other for a long time; no hang-ups.Everyone was at ease to talk about each other's travelling experience and whatnot. I can definitely say it's an unforgettable meet up as a neophyte in this org.
Interests
I read anything that I can get my hands on. Be it a porn, serious write-up, life-enriching books etc. I don't care as long as it draws my attention. Any topic under the sun will do as long as it interests me.
I blog. I compose poems and essays during my most emotional moments.
I am into action-suspense-thriller, rom-com, mystery and few historical kind of movies.
I'm always astonished of reality shows. The fact that a "reality show" showcases real people and intrinsic tasks/challenges makes me more of a supporter rather than a mere spectator. I'm also a big fan of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks, Boy Abunda, Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, Taylor Swift, Lea Salonga, Kris Aquino, Miriam Defensor-Santiago, the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr and Princess Diana, Barack Obama. I'm always mesmerized by Brian McKnight's songs, Adele and Ed Sheeran. Very soulful, natural and timeless.
I am a net-bum during most of my free time. My day is incomplete without having to check on my social media accounts.
I am always fascinated with traveling. It gives me the opportunity to explore new places and gain new circle of friends. It always gives me wonders more than I ever know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being independent.
Teach, Learn, Share
I always enjoy meeting with people who have substance and are not afraid to speak their minds because at the end of the day what is important is how you show to the world your sense of individuality about the people and events abound in existence.
Being open-minded definitely turns me on. Someone who exactly knows what he's talking about and stands firmly by what he believes in.
Someone who knows how to keep his cool and is not scared to show who he really is.
Bottom line is, I love to be with people who are interesting and genuine in whatever aspect.
