About Me

I'm a nice guy...at least that's what my mom tells me...I'm just angry at certain things. I have no patience for incompetence or ignorance. I hate people who ask me the same things over and over. I value my time so I don't like wasting it. I'm a bit of a workaholic. I love my job and helping people...just get the dumb ones out of my way.

She's made an impact that even she doesn't understand yet...she has me doing things I never thought I'd do, she's trying to teach me that patience IS a virtue and not a liability (er, nahihirapan pako dito, pero am trying babe), she's stopped me from going on many murderous rampages, she's shown me so many new perspectives on life. Paola's got me feeling all gentle and shit...and let's not forget that she's also made me watch shows like freakin' Queer Eye for crying out loud! Pao's impact is considerable...and I keep telling her that someday she'll understand just how much of an impact she's made on me. Oh well, I'll just have to make her get it through years of practice or something...I LOVE YOU PAO!
