About Me

I finally am a college graduated after six long years! And everybody skipped the congratulations and went straight to, "It's about time!" Haha, well they were right. After six long years I'm a University of San Francisco alumni. Go Dons!
A lot of people say I'm an ass, and sometimes I am. So if I'm acting like an ass around you don't take it the wrong way. That just means that I'm comfortable being myself around you. Friends should be able to insult each other on occasion and see the humor in it instead of seeing it as an insult. Other than that, I think I'm a laid back kind of person. Willing to give anything a try at least once just as long as it doesn't require jumping out of a plane or off a cliff with nothing but a flimsy piece of bungee cord separating me from the ground.
I try to be an optimist, but a lot of things can weigh me down. Coping mechanism of choice: ignore until things dissipate or blow up in my face. It's not the best way to handle things, but I'm working on being more pro-active in my life and confront situations that I would have previously ignored. But as I have learned recently, somethings are just best left ignored and in the past.
I'm not very judgemental, almost to a fault. I'm always willing to give people a chance and sometimes that lands me in a s..!tload of trouble! That's the only thing wrong with me, hahah. You people are probably thinking, "What an arrogant prick!" LOL!
I used to love to go clubbing and bar hopping all the time, but those things grew dull with time. It's been done to the brink of exhaustion. I'd pick a nice house party with friends over a crazy night out on the town where half of the events is a blur any day.
I'm always trying to better myself everyday. I want to broaden my horizons and see new things. Currently I'm trying to get back into leisure reading. Reading for education always got in the way until now...damn education.
I can do a mean Filipino accent, but I usually speak without one. I've been told that when I start to tell ghost stories it comes out...but I think it adds a little bit more creepiness to the story. It gives a little bit more authenticity because it sounds like it's coming from a more credible source, like a story that's been passed down from generation to generation. Hahah, that and I'm a FOB at heart.

My Interests

Hahah, I must seem pretty boring. Nah, I'm into all kinds of stuff. I like to go out and have a good time, but I'm not the type of guy that goes out to meet chicks. I like going out with a group of friends and just hanging out. I'm rarely the type that would go out and ditch my friends because I want to try to get with a girl. So I guess, I'm laid back. I go out for a good time but I'm not a crazy party animal.
I'm very big on the competetive stuff. I just love to compete in about everything. I love rock climbing, playing basketball, and most sports. However, I'm not a big fan of watching sports. Why watch when you can play?
Umm... I'm not very good about talking about myself so the rest your just gonna have to find out for yourself alright!

I'd like to meet:



Damn she's hot!!!
If you're a cool person. I want to meet you. If you're not, then I don't.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

R&B: Usher, John Legend, and who remembers Keith Sweat? Aaliyah will always be one of my favorites! Musiq Soulchild is a great f*ckin artist.
Hip Hop: Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. will always be in my IPod. Wu Tang Clan esp. Method Man, and classic LL Cool J. Oh yeah, T.I.
Alternative: Green Day. I remember listening to those guys when I was still in middle school. Damn man, FRS! Go green! Hahah.
Oldies: For sho' man. I don't really remember much of the names of the songs tho. I just know 'em when I hear 'em. Electronica: Techno! Drum n' Base, Jungle, Progressive Trance...all in that order. None of that poppy trance that everybody seems to be listening to nowadays. That stuff just don't cut it man. Mars & Mystre was cool.
And saving the best for last...the best f&^*@n band in the world: COLDPLAY!!! Call me what you want. I don't care. I like Coldplay.

Movies:

I love old gangster movies, I must of seen the Godfather a billion times.
Oh yeah, horror movies kick ass and scare the shit out of me. There hasn't been a good one out in a while though. I'm pretty interest in watching Final Destination 3 though, despite all the people saying that it's gonna be hella lame. Anybody wanna go watch it with me?
I don't like romantic comedies all that much, but some of the really good ones jerk a tear from my eye now and then. Sleepless in Seattle... sniffle... sniffle. I just recently watched Serendipity, and that was really good too! Damn, I'm turning into a wuss...
Funniest movie ever made: Wedding Crashers.
Movie with the biggest twist at the end: The Usual Suspects. This still has to be my favorite movie ever! I love those movies that make you think and totally throws you off at the end. I think Memento was a really close second to The Usual Suspects. Disagree? Tell me about what you think then.

Television:

What is a television? The box with the knobs on the front and the cobwebs in the way? Oh, yeah it makes a damn good coffee/study table! I love those things. I don't know why it has a cord coming out of it though.
Just kidding! I know what a television is. I barely have time to watch it though. There are only a couple shows I like to watch. Let's see...there's Inferno II on MTV, all the cheesy shows on VH1 where people make fun of celebrities or the 80's, and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. And when The Chappelle Show Season 3 comes out, I'll be watching that too.

Books:

I'm working on Love in the Time of Cholera right now. I'll let you know how it is when i finish. Just finished Kite Runner and it has to be one of the best books out there. It started out a little slow but by about the 150th page, I couldn't put the damn thing down! Thank you for keeping me up until five in the morning Khaled Hosseini. Other books I've read: The Rule of Four, Invisible Monsters, Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and Life of Pi.
I refuse to read Harry Potter books. I will never read one...ever!

Heroes:

My parents and grandparents. The epitomes of strength and perseverence.
