About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest! You only live once, don't waste it!

ABOUT ME

I'm a person with multiple backgrounds including being a PC geek and professional student. Being in anthropology focusing on Mesoamerican archaeology, I'm fascinated by different cultures. Besides academics, I'm an activist in a number of issues.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm atheist, thus believe that you only have one life to live, so you must make the best of it and enjoy it. You are only as old as you feel and act. So enjoy life instead of being depressed and wasting it away. Do things that you will remember and others will remember you for. You only live once, so don't waste it! When it's over, it's over!

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately, I've barely watched anything, because my priorities in life have drastically changed. However, I do love classic movies, particularly musicals, like My Fair Lady, Victor Victoria, and Fred Astaire flicks. Most of the movies I like are pre-90s. I don't care for violence, because there is enough of it going on real life, which I'm already fighting against. No point in adding more to it.

Most of the books I read at this point in my life are non-fiction, academic, and focus on research on different perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A number of archaeological sites, particularly Mayan including Tikal, Palenque, Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Coba, ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a professional student and plan to continue learning for the rest of my life. I'm always willing to teach people new things as well. Presently, I'm working on my Ph.D.
