About Me

Hey! How's it goin'? I'm Dexter and thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit my space on myspace. For starters, I'm cool so you should talk to me -- might as well, what with me being up in your extended network + all . . . Anyway, I enjoy swimming, biking, and running. I like the distractions and indulgences that pervade life in Center City Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless movie geek and junk culture genius. I love traveling for fun -- the parts of Europe that touch or are in the Mediterranean are my favorite places to be on earth . . .


Oh yeah . . . add amateur carpentry to the interest list. I've been condo-renovating and it's taking forever because I'm a terrible perfectionist and doing it myself. Home improvement, renovation, and modern interior design are obsessions at the moment and bankrupting myself at Lowe's and Home Depot seems to be a weekend ritual these days. Here's what lumpy, old-ass, Nixon-era drywall sees as I attack it with 100 grit sandpaper, which oddly enough resembles what I might look like if employed in a Colombian cocaine lab . . .


So in case you were curious, my ethnicity is Filipino meaning my Mom & Dad are from the Philippines. This also means I'm good at math and genetically pre-disposed to having formidable karaoke skills. Now, because my parents are extremely intelligent, wise, and daring, they spent much of 1967 legally immigrating to the greatest country the world has ever known. Here, they had and raised me and my sister in a town called Philadelphia in the great state of Pennsylvania -- the "Keystone State." I've spent most of my life in this area -- only ever entertaining thoughts of moving after college. Fate + luck however led to a decent career path here and so it is here I stay.

Interestingly, my last name is actually of Spanish/Portugese descent and I'm certain I can trace my roots back to 15th century European expansion into the South Pacific. Yeah, in all likelihood, my branch of the family tree begins with the exploits of a drunken, horny conquistador on a three day pass having his beasty way with a gorgeous, nubile, and mocha-skinned island girl . . . Her tribal chieftain father probably arranged it, having seen fit to trade her virginity in for multi-colored glass beads, gun powder, a bottle of Ketel One, a bag of rock salt, topless pictures of Cameron Diaz, and a pack of Marlboro Lights.

Here's the greatest groovy urban contempo trendy cool tune ever conceived of by humans . . . Play it and be entertained.

Hey . . . this one's pretty slick flash cool, too . . .
