If you can dream it, you can do it (Walt Disney)

About Me

I'm always eager to grow and to progress. Not it terms of having but being. Watching skills germinate is a great pleasure to me.
I aim to do my best in everything I do while trying to avoid to harm other living beeings. Therefore I'm vegetarian and try to be as compassionate as possible.
I love to practice Kali Sikaran which is based on Panantukan (Filipino Boxing), Sikaran (Filipino Kick Boxing), Stickfighting (including elements of Balintawak, Doce Pares Eskrima, Inayan System of Eskrima, Kali/JKD, Kombatan Arnis, Modern Arnis, Pentjak Silat, Silat Kuntaw and Suntukan Stickfighting), Daga (Knife Fighting Training), Kadena De Mano (Close Quarters Range) and Dumog (Grappling).
I also like Bonsai which to me reflects many important values and aspects of life.
I like nature. I like to watch the starry sky and dream to fly away.
When it comes to girls I prefer the natural type. I don't like tons of make-up, high-heels and silicone. Please put down your mask for me and let me see the true beauty of your soul.
I like arts whether it's film, stage or whatever. To me art is rust. Perishability and vulnerability made visible.
