Great things start from small beginnings

About Me

I constructively criticize but I don't underestimate anyone and anything. All my life,I've acted with utmost transparency,objectivity and professionalism. Insincerity is not in my character nor in my upbringing. That in this unjust and cruel world,the only constant is change though everything in nature is in a state of balance. Things which give us pain are the things which make us stronger.I'm just a typical English speaking with a British accent-good looking Filipino guy who likes to eat a lot but doesn't gain a pound. I love eating burgers, fries, chicken, pizzas, pastas, chocolates, ice creams, Nestle products and a whole lot more!Curse those people who pretend they are omnipotent and omniscient. I prefer those people who know just a little bit of everything and have no pretentions at all.I consider myself as the "I'm sorry for texting so late"-guy 'cause I reply to my friends' text messages an hour after they have texted me. It's probably because of my busy schedule.I'm not really into the formal model look kind of thing. I only do that when I have to but when I go out, that's why my manager gets mad because I go out like this: in t-shirt, cap, jeans and rubber shoes. My favorites for formal are Kenneth Cole, Hugo Boss and Dolce and Gabbana. My favorite for casual is Armani Exchange.I'm crazy about cars in general, BMW cars to be specific.Aside from keeping my body fit with daily workouts, I also engage in several sports!!! I'm into basketball, flag football, soccer, swimming and tennis!!! That's really my passion, SPORTS.
