About Me

Hmm.. I'm a simple person that enjoys the company of people who can be themselves. I pride myself in being the one people can talk to, and tell their problems to and be consulted for advice.I give freely of myself, and have an extreme and I mean extreme positive energy to the point of sometimes being border line eccentric. Because of that I seem like a player, someone that will dance on the drop of a hat with just about anyone, spark a conversation with anyone I catch make an eye contact with me. I’m not afraid of dancing close with total strangers; which can sometimes lead to some jealous b/f giving me the dirty look. But please don’t mistake that for lack of integrity.Jut because I’m easy to dance and talk with doesn’t mean, I’m the careless guy that will take home a girl just because he can. I am selective and patient and don’t date girls unless there’s true substance there. At which point I give freely of body, heart, and attention. Because of my patience and my past experience, I have learned to take things very slow, and can sometimes seem stolid yet spontaneous.I come from a strong rooted Pilipino family with good values. My mom has engrained in me to value loyal and compassion above all. I have learned not to be careless with people’s feelings, as I do my best not to be surrounded with people who are careless with mine.I have the best brothers and sister, sister in-law and brother in-law Yay! I have the greatest niece and nephews and small circle of friends.My diverse personality allows me to freely speak to anyone in all walks of life; I can spark a conversation with an old Hindi about Krishna. I can talk to the local chess players about their favorite tactics and Wrestlers about their favorite take downs. I can go deep into small talk about astrology and metaphysics.. OH shoot this is way too long.. enough about me.. tell me about you!
Lyrics Bon Jovi (You Want To) Make a Memory LyricsI'm trying to keep this light, so I will... Hmmmm.. Hmmm.. Hmmm...

My Interests

nice!! I'm interested in Shoe Horn.. i believe the whole universe is made of a giant Shoe horn....OK i'm just kidding here.. my interests lie superficial, not fake superficial, but ..how do i explain this.. Hmmm... My belief is that suffering comes from desire, and if my interest of obsession, or passion is in conflict with that then, i catch myself in a conundrum if you catch my drift!Ok, let me keep this simple.. my interest are Photography, chess, music, Yoga, Meditating, Biking, Hiking, camping, talking while walking in a nice day at park or beach, BEACH, Washington Square park watching the perfomances there by Tic and TAC, and ultimately having no interests

I'd like to meet:

anyone seeking to better themselves - Kaeser Soze, Verbal Kent, Bocelli and the person that keeps editing my profile without my permission I AM NOT 9 Feet Tall *********** Quoting a good friend -Spider "... patience is so important in living beyond loss. " Thanks SpiderI've begun to realize, or rather that I've been off track for some while, but yeah....i've been fragmented to become whole, and pushed to be pulled and all through it all... it is patience and the yin & yan understanding of the paradoxes.

Heroes:

The Voices Inside My Head, ok i'm just kidding about the "Voices in My Head"My hero is my Mother,Father,(my whole family really).. to think of the struggles, sacrafices and devotion they have shown to each other/the children and the American DREAM. Any seemingly unimportant stranger showing me their smile. You see i truly believe that people come and go in our lives whether it be all through our life or a short moment, as you open the door for a person behind you and they say "Thank you" and smile... My Niece and Nephews!!
