I believe I am a child of Mindanao, Philippines. I was born and raised in Davao City and have lived in two other areas in Mindanao – Cagayan de Oro City and Bukidnon. Mindanao is my native land. This is where I belong, feel secure and am at peace. To be in Mindanao is to feel the embrace of a warm, soft blanket.

I am a chronic traveler – you most probably will notice this in my blog posts. I travel a lot I should be called the-one-with-itchy-feet!

I am drawn to human interest stories and I have a couple of advocacies that I am absolutely fond of.

I have traveled to other countries outside of the Philippines:

United States of America
South Korea (and a side trip to North Korea)
Singapore
Hong Kong (SAR, China)
Macau (SAR, China)
Shenzhen, China
Malaysia
Thailand
Japan

I love taking on new challenges and discovering new places. I love design, computers, fashion, culture, entertainment and exotic food.

Put me in an island with just a pen and paper and I will be fine.
