Hello, I'm Pidot! 🚀

I'm a Filipino living in Japan. I'm finishing my Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kyushu University. Outside the university, I’m passionate about music, fitness, photo-videography, and of course, traveling.

🎶 About music, I’ve been singing, playing instruments, performing on stage since I was a kid. Recently, I do gigs around bars and events Fukuoka as a fun side hustle. In my free time, I post covers and my original songs online (though I'm not famous hahaha).

🏋 About fitness, I also love staying active—hiking, gym, cycling, swimming—but I’m equally down for bar-hopping, partying, or just staying indoors whole day hahaha

📸 About photo-videography, I enjoy documenting stories such as my own little adventures. I believe capturing a memory makes it last forever. I also work part time as multimedia science communicator in my university where I make research related content.

🏍️ Lastly, traveling. I believe traveling is more than just seeing new places, it's also about meeting new people and creating new experiences with them. I also work part time as a tour guide in Fukuoka. I like to immerse myself with people from different walks of life.

🌕 Cliche as it may sounds:
At the end of the day, I'm still just a young man making it through his 20's. My greatest aspiration is to stay kind, true, and excellent in what I do. My lifelong goal is to give back to the people that led me to where I am now and to contribute in creating a better society for the next generation.
