About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my damn academic papers done before going around Europe!

ABOUT ME

Used to be a geek way back in highschool but I got out of my shell upon reaching college. Unfortunately, once a geek always a geek. Last time, I was having beer with some polish friends of mine when a TV segment about cosplayers was aired, I guessed like 90% of the animes portrayed by the people in the show.

I'm still an undergraduate with at least two years to go, I realized that chemistry wasn't for me a little too late before shifting to journalism. Now I'm happy with writing and going around.

I love traveling, I got to go around the Philippines because of my ethnic music and dance performing group in College. It's tough, especially with rehearsals that sometimes go on till near midnight all the while with trying to study and get a paper done. But hey, I've learned so much from the group.

Now I'm studying for a semester here in Poland in a student exchange program. One requirement is that we share Philippine culture to the Polish people so we've been going around the local schools giving lectures and dance workshops, pretty hectic but really enjoyable.

After I'm done with everything, I'm off to see Europe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dunno if it's amazing.

But strutting about in a wonder woman costume for a play with all of your friends watching definitely takes guts. :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the djembe, I have no formal training though, just picked it up from my performing group.

And of course, I can share lots of things about my Philippine culture.
