About Me

Click here to get this skin for your profile! I'm now 34 years old and I live in Southern California in the city of La Palma. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and came to the U.S. at age 2. I have a younger sister named Ann who is 3 years younger than me and is married and living in Huntington Beach. I've pretty much considered myself an OC person since I went to High School and College there and currently I still live there. For the past 10 years, I've been working with FOX Sports Net or FSN. Right now, I'm an Associate Producer/Graphics Coordinator for The FSN Final Score and Final Score Extra. I use to work on a show called Totally Football, but that was canceled. I really like my job and respect my co-workers, but the drawback is that I'm not paid very well to do it, but hell how often can you have a career watching sports? Besides going to work, I just like to relax watch a good movie every now and then and when I get a chance, I will try to get together with friends or co-workers. I consider myself very career and family oriented and have not devoted much time to thinking about dating, but I am open to it. But I have developed a passion for traveling which I do every summer.

My Interests

Staying out of debt, but mainly: Watching Television, Movies and DVD's and music. But my biggest passion is travelling the world every year. I've been to Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Macau, Australia, New Zealand. In 2007 I visited Seoul, Taipei and Osaka. Although I'm not as passionate about it now, but I'm still a fan of the LA Lakers. I will watch sports every now and then, but I prefer watching a good movie or a fun TV show.

I'd like to meet:
