Hi. I'm an ordinary joe who lives in a small city in the Philippines capital of Metro Manila.

Basically, I just like doing like of creative stuff and I love imagining things and coming up of ideas of products, services, businesses, stories, and so on.

Judging from the medical results I got from a pre-employment check-up this year (2008), I guess I'm pretty healthy despite the regular vices of cigarettes and alcohol and some moments of sedentariness, plus of course, the irresistable pigging out on pork and overly high cholesterol products of animal fat. At my late 20s, I guess I'm at my prime in this decade of my life.

I love cars, gadgets, film, music, books, comic books, video games, and food.

I studied Fine Arts major in Advertising at one of the best universities in the Philippines: University of Santo Tomas batch 2001. Worked 3 years straight for different small design firms until I went back to college last 2004 to take up a totally different course: Nursing. Finished it and if you're wondering what the letters RN are in the logo of my top banner, it's because I'm also a registered nurse here in the Philippines.

Despite all that, I'm still here doing what I do best. And I'd be honored to be of service to you or your company.

Thanks again!
