What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived.

About Me


Click Here to Donate
I'm just the stereotypical Asian nerd who's into Star Trek, computers and electronic gadgets with a life filled with interesting experiences and intrigue. I was a political science major in college but now working in the mobile industry in project management. I'm involved in the Democratic Party through various clubs and organizations, most prominently in the San Fernando Valley.Aside from that, I'm notorious for my coffee habit which is why I'm more likely to be found in Coffee Bean or Peet's Coffee than say... a bar. I just grew out of having that morning after hung over taste in my mouth after each night out. I'm just basically complex, simply difficult, and lovably hyperactive... I'm that know-it-all gay best friend you see in the movies and TV... minus the bad attitude unless I haven't had my morning quota of coffee.

My Interests

Star Trek, tennis, computers, cell phones, multimedia gadgets... the basic geek staples.
Among those, I like coffee, shopping, hanging out with friends, watching movies and TV, and also whatever I feel like getting into.

Beneath the surface...

I look normal, I act normal, for all intents and purposes I am normal. At least to those who look at me. Yet I'm not. I am anything but and yet act as if I am. It's not because of denial of the real m...
