There are a lot of things I believe in. Like, I believe that love, not power, can accomplish things. I believe that arts has the capacity to heal and transform people's lives. I believe that you are not less of a person just because you do not have the things that everyone is having. I believe that passion and perseverance is necessary to achieve long-term goals. I believe that happiness is a choice, an inside job, and so is love, and everything else in life. I believe in marriage and everlasting love. I believe each person has the ability to bounce back from every fall, to move forward from the past, to forgive and start over, to live a meaningful, significant life. <3

I believe in all of those things and more because I am a lover of life and its Maker, God. I am an optimist, a trying-hard minimalist, a dreamer, a frustrated artist, a go-getter, a free-spirited itinerant, a loyal friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of my fave books are that of Khaled Hosseini, Paulo Coelho, Mitch Albom, James Patterson, among others. Moreover, I am more of a TV series person than a movie person, however, if dragged to cinemas, I prefer romantic comedies, psychothrillers, and sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I dared to cliff jump with no gears attached at more than 25 feet altitude splashing my way through the sea in Camotes Island, Cebu, Philippines.
