Reading books or "The Economist", fav countries: (CH, UK, & D), cooking, absinthe, chilling out, golf, alcohol (ie Cointreau, most Cabernet Sauvignons, Johnnie Walker, Drambuie and GRAND MARNIER), and last but not least: the finer things in life.
I'm still a hopeless romantic. I believe that in my case, it's going to be a chance meeting with the girl who has the three B's. I'll know her when I see her. All I know now is that I will not find one in the Islas Filipinas. When I feel that the time has come, I intend to raise my own cash and embark on a journey around the world to find her; relying only on a steadfast and undaunted vision for guidance. When I find her, we'll sail off into the sunset. As Quixotic as this adventure may sound, it is an adventure nonetheless.If I had the chance, I'd also like to meet Mr. HIRO HONMA because I'm an avid fan of his golf clubs.
