About Me

Aloha, name's Emilios Hofileña...a cocktail of Filipino with a splash of Italian and Spanish livin it up in Inglatera!!!, yep, even I'm confused...lol...I love both England and the Philippines, and what I have seen of Spain so far.I am generally easy-going and have high tolerance, but scram if u ever break that tolerance, u can only do this by being abusive especially to those I care deeply for.
I am irritated by; small minded people who has no room for thinking past what they see or hear; drunken random strangers who thinks they can touch my bongos all of a sudden just because 'the vodka says they can'...Grrr! - and most of all, people who lacks basic manners, I mean come on - it don't cost nothing to say small words like 'thanks' and 'after you'. Lastly if u strip in front of a webcam - that's ur business, but do not add me as a friend...u perverted mofo!
Just after my birthday when I was convinced I am happy and getting settled in being single, a rather special girl walks into my life by the name of Linda. I miss her crazily, infact she's the only reason I wish for this summer to be over.
I strive to be a better designer everyday, even if my work has described more 'illustrational'.

Future projects includes starting up my own project while holding a (hopefully) full time job to help me finance my own ideas...I have found that not many large commercial corporates actually share the same ideas as I do - so to go solo, or to link up with like-minded creatives are more appealing to me than working as a Mac Monkey, even if my full time job doesn't end up becoming mac related, this will atleast avoid me being put off design for good. It's a mad world out there and I wouldn't be so smiley without the following;

I love:
God; The three most amazing women in my life, my mama (a Filipina Gangstah from Manila) my baby sis Jampot (originally known as Jaimmie), and my new found love, Linda of Riga; My friends...oh how blessed I feel to have met sooo many cool people this year :D; My percussions...bongos, congas, drumbek (middle eastern hand/stick drum); My artbox...it has saved my life several times; Sushi's...dimsums...rice, cous cous...actually, there ain't nowt much I dont eat...; My baby iMac (faithful and hardly ever focks up), finally last, but def not least - dancin'...!!!

As in the wild, certain species will dance, fight, roar, croak, or show off their lights, wings, smell just to attract the opposite sex.The dancefloor (it seems), is the new arena for the game...but i...
