It's Just Tony

Kumusta ka na, Kaibigan (What's poppin' Homie?!)

About Me

I'm 6'0", 220 lbs., Filipino, tall, dark, and handsome. :) To be tall, built, and Filipino is not a common occurance becuase all Filipinos are short :). How I became tall is anybody's guess. One theory I have is that my mom used to take steroids while I was an infant and it was present in her breastmilk. I know, I know TMI. I am a graduate of North Central University in Minneapolis, MN and I graduated with a degree in Urban Ministries. I'm a sports buff (b-ball and football. Occasionally baseball). Like David, I'm a man trying to strive after God's own heart each and every day of my life. It's not easy, but I'm trying. I'm also learning more and more about myself as well as the things that I want in life. I look forward to the next move that God is going to make in my life. Aside from that, I'm a pretty laid back person. I like to hang out with friends, and I enjoy getting to know people.

My Interests

Singing, video games (all though I don't play as much as I used to), reading, NCAA Football and Basketball (go Illini!!), working out, rollerblading, inner-city youth ministry, Asian women :), playing basketball and football, going to Chicago's Chinatown getting my grub on as well as a nice tall glass of bubble tea, and doing anything outdoors. Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese foods are my favorite as well as Italian Beef sandwiches. MABUHAY ANG PILIPINO (Filipino for Life!!!)
