Hello, I'm Pidot! (or just Dot)

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 performing on stage, joining singing competitions, and playing instruments 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 song covers online.

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 haha

About photo-videography, I enjoy documenting stories such as my own little adventures for fun. I believe capturing a memory is the best way to make it last forever. I want to have a bunch of self-made documentary films to watch at when I get old.

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 like to immerse myself with people from different walks of life.

At the end of the day, I'm still just a normal student making it through his 20's trying to have a positive outlook in life. My greatest aspiration is to be remembered for being kind and making life worth living.
