About Me

I am a small, dark and very energetic Filipino. I love sports with all my heart specifically triathlon and running and willing to spend time, money and effort to improve myself in this game. Despite my physical limitation (being only 5 feet 1 inch tall), I work my ass off so that I can be one of the best in the future. I hope to compete all over the world especially the Boston Marathon, Ironman Hawaii, New York Marathon, Ironman Florida, Ironman Lanzarote and possibly Ironman Nice. I spent my childhood (grade 3-7) in the US, specifically Carol Stream, IL (I miss you guys) and hope to go back to Illinios in 2008 to visit my old friends, classmates and relatives. (I just hope they still remember me. Haha!!!!

My Interests

Running and triathlons, travelling to different places, meeting people.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet my old classmates, friends and relatives down at Illinois. I really miss you guys. I would also like to see my high school people and see how much I have changed since the four years we have departed from LaSalle. Sportwise, I would definitely like to meet Lance Armstrong and 3 time Ironman World Champion Peter Reid. I also like to see my high school "barkada" since they have been close to me since I have moved from the US. I will definitely never miss our weekend gimicks around Eastwood and Makati. Hopefully we can chillax at Boracay when I have to motivation to go there.
