About Me

CURRENTLY AS OF: JUNE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2007




I'm a very laid back shy type of a guy. Who resides in his own world. Contrary to popular belief, I am an out going yet reserved and well behave party animal. Crap! I'm having some major writer's block. I'm so mad, this is my second night and fifth draft making this. The first one was so darn perfect. I hit some stupid tab and lose the darn notes. C'mon think! Who am I. Remember now...you're name is...Edwin. Oh, yeah now I know. No...Icertainly do not suffer from multiple personality. Okay...I'm very honest, friendly, humble, and brutally good looking guy. Man, this is not working. Seriously, I'm just an average people person who loves the smell of fresh air (I prefer Armani Black Code). Who loves to look at people and adoringly and jealously wish I'm as good looking as them.



I grew up in a very diverse house hold of Caucasian-Filipino parents. Dad's white and mom's Filipina. Born in Subic Bay at the heart of the former American Military Base in the Philippines. Grew up in the east side of San Francisco Bay Area, Fremont. I love traveling and spending time with my friends and family. I love meeting new friends and getting to know them. I do believe that things in life happens for a reason. That whatever have happened has to happen. We all sit in an inevitable path that we certainly have to face the sense of our purpose in life. Who we are and who we'll be. Who we meet and who we'll meet us. Life is so strange some times it can also be cruel yet beautiful and controversial at times. I'm content of my life, comparable to where I should be at. I know my life doesn't stop here. I know that I can achieve better than this. I live in no luxury house, but at least I have roofs over my head. I'm satisfied, however, that my knowledge in life have given me a great sense of security that no matter what happen. I will still be the nicest, most caring person you'll ever meet (guarantee!). Most of the time, when I'm alone. I enjoy reflecting. Have you ever sat down and flip through your high school year books and read all of those wonderful notes your friends have written. Perhaps look at your childhood pictures and compare how mature you've grown and how will your kids look like. I do love kids that some day I wish of my own.






I treasure simple memories that reminds me of who I am. What kind of friends I made. Life is not about winning. It's about achieving your greatest potentials. Once in awhile I would drive by Mission Peak, park my car amongst open air and look wide up the horizon and see the sunset. It's a repetitive process that mesmerized me each time I witness the sun disappear and reappears on the other side of the world. I'm thankful that I am blessed with so many friends. I'm mostly thankful of my best friends that I can talk to heart to heart. I love sitting inside the car with my best friend and giving each other advise. Kind of mending each others souls in some ways. That's the beauty of my friendship with every one it's complex. Okay, I'm a sensitive mature, understanding, person. I highly think of my self as a very well educated man. I may not have the ivy league certification to prove it, but who are you to judge that I am not huh? Intelligence is measured not on what you have studied, but on how you've learned to live your life.
I'm quiet but once I open up I speak my mind. I can also be opinionated yet considerate of other people's feeling of the situations. I'm growing day by day shedding and peeling off the innocence of my childhood. I'm realizing each day as I make my journey into this world that challenges and hurdles in life will come a great prize. Life without struggles is no life of comfort although it would be nice to have someone besides you and motivate you in life. My parents whom are very supportive of the make up of my life are the most influential people in my life. My friends whose moral supports and lending shoulders have enhanced my decision making. The unheard working class heroes whose struggles and sacrifices to make this place a better world.

My Interests

I love going out with friends every now and then. Love the night life. I love to relax @ home, or enjoy a cup of coffee once in a while. I'm a social coffee drinker, I (only), take mine Starbucks styles. Do not smoke, or do drugs.

That's something that I never really got into. It's not my thing. Though, I drink...socially. Whenever I go-out to clubs, or a good restaurant with my best friends.

I love films, music, arts, and graphics. I'm more of an eye-ear type co-ordination of a person. I enjoy watching movies out or @ home. I love listening to different types of music. I want an iPod so bad...so I can store all of these massive music files from my computer

I look at things as an art base form. Like a camera (KTVU), man's eyes and perspective point of views. Every thing your eyes sits into are visually alluring. Capturing moments thats long gone. News gathering have always intrigued me. As a young child,

I've always been fascinated of how news is delivered. I am mostly fixated of the men and women in front and behind the cameras. Being a news reporter has always been my passion. Life calling as you will.

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

I have watched so many films. All of which have appealed to me in somedifferent form or the other. The genre that I've always love are drama, comedy, and some action slash sci-fi flicks. I like indy films, too. I love all genres, actually.

Lately I've been hooked on Asian action, sword fighting films like "Crouching Tiger...", "House of Flying Daggers." All time favorite twisted film "The Village" by M.Night. Other interesting movies are "The Trip," "Latter Days," "Batman-Begins," "The Cure," "Sideways," "Wedding Crasher."

Television:

I rarely watch tv, now that I've been working so many hours; my schedules limits me from watching so many new shows.

I been wanting to buy a Tivo for along time, but never had the chance. How life would be more easy huh? When I usually get a chance to I'm always stuck on MTV or VH1 .

I was just recently introduced to Family Guy. It is by far the funniest cartoon show that is way better than the Simpsons.

It's hilarious, sadistic at times, but it will truly make you laugh your ass off. Then...I can also get boring and be a news junkie, which is most of the time.

CNN/Headline News, KTVU . If you really want to see good quality humor on TV you need to watch our live broadcast on Ohlone TV .

Comcast cable 28...only inFremont, Newark, Union City and Part of San Jose. Our promotional commercial can be seen on KTSF 26 Cable 8.

TV watch our live Wednesday broadcast on Ohlone Network. It's live, so its okay for us tomispronounce, to be incoherent, stumble on words, or

ignore each other's cue on live broadcast. I wish I can convert some of our air checkbloopers ...

On radio I like listening to Energy 92.7 and yeah Ohlone Radio 89.3 KOHL . I mostly listen to my iPod in my car.

Books:

I miss reading books in high school. I rarely read books now. Unless I get paid to read them. you know, work books and all.

My favorite books are A Time ToKill and The Client written by John Grisham. I mostly read magazines now, Cargo,

and GQ informative dude magazines. Do you have any good books suggestion?

Heroes:

Leticia Lima Cervantes, David Spencer, Lance A. Wilkinson, Mila Embestro, Glenna Gapuz, Carmen Cervantes, Dorothy P. Spencer,

My lawyer, Jose Rizal, Noli deCastro, Brian O'Donohue, Peter Jennings...
