About Me

I'm an adventurous type and would try ALMOST anything once. Some would describe it as "Cowboy" but i would say I'm just a dork who's very curios about the world.
Dork is the word I would use for someone who likes to watch StarWars, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Big Bang Theory and other dorky stuff.

But I'd like to think of myself as somewhat the boy scout. Will always try to be ready for anything. Will make up a list for almost all of the thing i think i would need and get it.

I care for the environment also. I try and help as much as i can through the little things I can do. Nothing big just like turning off the faucet, using paper bags and plastic more than once at the very least and use recyclables as much as possible, turning off the lights or any electronic appliances and sorts to conserve energy. I believe its the small things that put all together can mean very big in the long run.

I also like to take pictures and videos of very cool places or cool things i see. I try to capture the moment or how i see it in my head. I do my best to frame it to be appreciated for its own beauty or "coolness" of it. (You can check out my instagram. My username : unoticeme)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new friends and explore at the same time.
Plus its practical and fun. :)

Interests

My interests would be Art, Music, Movies/Series, Film/Play, Live performances, exploring new places and eat different kinds of food, experiencing other cultures and would die for breath taking scenery.

I am also an adrenaline junkie. I love amusement parks, roller coaster rides, the sudden drops and high places and I like to go fast. very fast.
I enjoy sports like basketball, frisbee, wall climbing, billiards and swimming

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the 24th of October 2009.
I have saved 4 dogs in total.
Typhoon Ondoy hit Manila and started a very wide flash flood due to continuous rain and opening of several dams.
During this time it was calamity all over but I have managed to save our 3 dogs while the flood was raising by putting them on the roof.

While I was doing that, I heard a dog crying not so far from our house. So I swam towards the sound to our neighbors backyard and found a tip of a dogs cage almost submerged in water. I quickly realized that there was still a dog inside.
I tried opening the door underwater but the door was locked and the dog could barely breath through the space of the roof. At this point the dog was in panic and crying.
I tried calling out for the owner but nobody was home. (By the way, the water was freezing)
Luckily, there was a part of the roof which was a lil bit torn but the dog could not fit through it. So I had to make a bigger tear by moving it back and forth till it was wide enough for the dog to fit.
After a few minutes, I had torn a big enough hole for the dog to fit and we swam back together to the roof of my house and he stayed there.

He was Golden Retriever and found out his name was Benjamin from the owner after all the disaster has come to an end.
No casualties and everyone was safe. :)
