About Me

A Filipino guy born and raised in Baltimore.I have multiple tattoos and I like to hang out with friends, get a drink at least a couple days out of the week and doing different things.I love the San Diego Chargers and West Virginia Mountaineers.I can listen to practically any genre of music although I am totally into Brit Pop and indie.Personally in my life, I try to maintain balance in all aspects.I like having inside jokes.I have a strange memory in that I can remember things that most people have forgotten along the way.Sending text messages is a must with me. Sometimes you just don't feel like talking, especially when drinking or working. Besides, your inhibitions are down and makes it somewhat fun or funny (depends on what you say I guess).I am into art, music, and sports, so I can handle most conversations well.Aside from that, I am into so many different things and I am just meeting new people along the way and re-discovering some old friends.One weird fact about me is that I hate to wear long sleeve shirts, even in the Winter.
