i'm basically just another 24 yr. old who lives on the little pebble-in-the-Pacific island of Guam; residing in the tranquil Machanao subdivision in the village of Dededo. most people just refer to me as "Alex".
me, my lil brother Chester, and my previous 2.5-year, $10k S15-wannabe 240SX
my old coworkers call me "Tito Boy". new people call me "Psst!", but please...don't call me by my full name. i'm one of those locally-born Filipinos who unfortunately can't understand Tagalog. i take classes at the Guam Community College taking Marketing and Visual Communications. i also work as an E-Loader and Technician at 4Cell Telecomm , a part-time Game Advisor at GameStop , and a DJ for the Groovy Nights 2.0 show (Mon-Fri 6-10pm) with DJ Cure and Bojo Molina at the 101.9 FM radio station.
only on Guam's 101.9 FM Megamixx!
some people also knew me as the guy with the "Silvia" . but now i just drive a bone-stock, daily-driver 240SX (RPS13). i used to race for the Guam Road Racers Association . i loved the sport of road racing. i tore up the course for a year, but i gave it up cuz maintenance was just too damn EXPENSIVE! i sold my S14.5 Silvia back in November of '05, but i'm still the FOURTH person on Guam to accomplish an S15 Silvia front face conversion.
i miss my old car...:'( (March '03 - November '05)
anyways...i'm an occasional drinker and am fond of bar hopping. i grew out of clubbing a while back so i mellowed out and relax, socialize, and sing at karaoke bars instead. i became more intrigued by being on the mic than being on the dance floor. but if i'm not out, i'm usually basking in the comfort of my house. most of the time i become a couch potato and game for hours on my XBox 360 or prolly just watch some tv or a rented movie or something. other times, i'm in front of the computer browsing social networks, window shopping online, or downloading bootleg.
my tools of destruction
at first i may seem like the silent type, but appearance may be deceiving. eventually i tend to open up later on to my talkative and comical side. i may not seem like an aggressive person, but i was disciplined and trained to defend myself in the event someone attempts to kick my ass. most of my friends and coworkers know me as the notorious jokester and impressionist. and no offense to my kababayans, but even if i can't speak/understand Filipino, i can still be a fob if i feel like it. :)
my hero...Rex "Badass Madapaka" Navarette
and just like any other Filipino, i'm also on Friendster so catch me there as well: http://www.friendster.com/silvia2nr
and i'm an administrator over at DJ Cure's (101.9 KTKB) Groovy Nights page: http://groovynights.ning.com/profile/ahlicks
