About Me

after i read the confessions of saint augustine, i thought well, i dont have to write an autobiography... its already been done. i'm not a saint. i am a sinner, always doing my best to avoid the near occasion of it. my first teacher was my grandfather Nicolas. we called him tatay. because of him and all my teachers from grade school in the carigara, leyte, PI, petersburg, va., and south carolina and high school teachers in san antonio, tx, and all my music teachers in san francisco, new orleans and southern california, i hope to follow their noble trade of sharing knowledge with children and students young and old.
