TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: Michael Leyson Bautista tr Birthday: 5/31/82 Gemini
Birthplace: Livingston, New Jersey (St. Barnabus, Hospital) 053182/Gemini..... My birth was to mark the beginning of a new era for the world at large. Longly anticipating and yearning for my arrival, my birth was of cosmic proportions, destined to reshape the course of history for humanity at large. No longer did gloom hover in the night sky, nor did children lie awake afraid at night. Lol.. j/k I was born a normal birth, quick and sweet, to the most amazingly wonderful parents, and older brother Carlo. I could never ask for a better birth family. A year and half later my youngest brother and best friend Gino was born.
Current Location: on a computer in san francisco.
Hair Color: black to dark brown
Height: 5'7"
Right Handed or Left Handed: righty
Your Heritage: filipino (my heritage is mixed spanish, malay/pacific islander, chinese, japanese)I am proud of my rich culutural heritage, lineage, as well as blood line of my family name Bautista which runs to biblical times and beyond. However, Bautista, was not first recorded officially until the early ancient Christian kingdom of Aragon of Spain. lts translation is "Baptist", in English, named after St. John the Baptist. I am 7th generation of the Lopez Family of the Philippines, recorded as being a Lopez-Leyson-Bautista particularly in our family's Lopez registry. My extended last name in actuality includes a number of last names which are of pure blood that extends overseas into Asia, as well as Europe. My ancestors were early explorers, travelers, immigrants, catholic missionaries, land owners, politicians, merchants, and conquistadors non indigenous to the islands of the Philippines. My last names include Lopez; my great ancestor was adopted by a Spanish conquistador and inherited massive land holdings in the Philippines, along with many properties, and among the most powerful names in all of the Spanish speaking world until today, for being an adoptive son. My family however learned to separate themselves from Spain in regards to the Lopez name, naming our family the Lopez Clan of the Philippines , in which I am 7th generation . That is 7 generations of political and economical dominance over the chain of almost seven thousand islands and close to 87 million people, most of which were converted catholic by my same family names. My great grand father Fernando Lopez served as a Vice President of the Philippines for three terms including two terms with the former President Ferdinand Marcos. My paternal family names on the Lopez side include, my direct last name Bautista, which is pure blooded to the top. My great grandfather, Felix Angelo Bautista was a former Supreme Court Justice and founder of our two schools, Philippine College of Criminology and the Manila Law College . The Jison name, which is actually a Chinese last name retranslated into a more Spanish sounding last name; but I was told to drop "son" and Ji, or shih is my last name, being there is no J in Chinese. A cantonese woman said that actually would mean Shaw. In addition, I have the last name of Angelo, in which my great grandfather's mother was pure blooded Angelo. That name is native to both Spain and Italy as well. I am also a Serrano, it being my grandmother's last name before marrying my grandfather. I, in addition to my family, am pure blooded, heavily mixed, and descend from a proud history. I'm proud of being Lopez Clan, being that they still own numerous businesses, hotels, shares of companies, and territories including the major television networks and radio stations of ABS CBN . In addition they have a political strong hold and influence on the country as well. My Bautista Grand parents' criminology school is the largest in all of Asia, meaning they basically train the entire police force, and have much influence over them. I am proud of the political presence of my family that extends from my maternal great grandfather Juan Pangan Serrano who is the cousin of the 5th president of the Philippines, Diosdado Pangan Macapagal . Afterwhich, his daughter who is my grand aunt, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo , is currently the 14th President of the Republic of the Philippines. Other relatives are leading congessmen and governors, in addition to my Bautista family yielding heavy power over the national police force. In essence my family continues to be one of the more influential groups in the islands of the Philippines since the days of it being a colony of the Kingdom of Spain.

Do you Shower Daily: daily and definitely...
Have you Been in Love: once sporadically off and on to my exgirl Liz, definitely to cathy, to one boy for sure in high school.... it hurt he never reciprocated the love but that was probably because he was straight and I was just confusing him and he me...for a short while to a boy over summer/autumn'05...But to be honest I have love for almost everyone and it reflects in the way I'll treat you like you're the only person in the world that matters.. everyone deserves full attention and complete compassion in my eyes. I've reached a point where I've met so many beautiful souls; I have tendencies to fall in love almost instantaneously, whether platonically or true.

Do you play an Instrument: No, I actually would rather be dancing to the music.
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: no
In the past month have you Smoked: yes
In the past month have you gone on a Date: I gave up on dating recently. I'm really not searching either. It's rare nowadays I meet someone that understands me, or click with. I guess you can say most people don't impress me enough for an effort. I just leave love, and finding it, all up to fate and faith.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: I don't really like cookies

In the past month have you been on Stage: no I get my applauds cheers and whistles for me on a dance floor.. don't need elevation to get noticed ..ok sometimes .
In the past month have you been Dumped: nope. I thought I was in love with someone recently, and went from having my heart played like a harp to like harpooned. On a serious note though, In the end though, for the time that you find a presence that graciously accepts you into their hearts, and become a part of their lives as friends or lovers; those moments forever ingrain themselves into the memory of your soul providing you with the nourishment and growth regardless of the time alotted or effected. Thats how I see each person coming into my life by fate, not chance. In the rather seemingly random, chaotic, and indecipherable nature of existence; there lies in the energies abounding around us, inside us, above us, and between us that correlates us for purposes that we truly never understand til the very end that the symbiosis of this order is in completion and feel it together in union of a feeling that we're born made again. I made that up myself, kind of perplexing but simple in actuality. The transferrence of knowledge, love, wisdom, and the utopian ideal of a heavenly global, peace, and unity consciousessness can only be achieved if you first learn to accept that all things happen for reward, karma, punishment, but ultimately for spiritual growth to ascertain all that awaits for us intangibly in a world we know nothing of, but strive for out of a yearn to break free from the unending cycle of humanity's journey of pain and sufferring brought on by its own inevitable greed, overexcess, and yearnings for things without universal currency in the end. I guess thats how I learn to pacify my soul, so as not to ever feel that I'm without love, or have to rely on another to feel it on my own. As I graduated into this understanding thats its always internally exuding from my being, love that is, and as ascertainable as a simple hello and hug from a loved one; I no longer can internalize negative energies or wasteful resentments, grudges, or loathings for other people. ..
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: once in high school with a few friends

I however, am not one for vanity just fashion for individual expression and artistic impressions.--------------------------------

THE LIFE OF MICHAEL BAUTISTA

"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love." Marc Chagall

"The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep."
