Personality quirks: Obsessive-compulsive to a degree, (and as a result;) slightly clingy, quite impulsive but still somehow grounded and practical, likes to pretend he's in touch with his feminine side (but 1. is not gay, 2. and most of my friends disagree and just laugh at me behind my back about this, but I guess I can't help but forgive them...), has a slightly chivalrous spirit which I owe to my upbringing, somehow realistic but still capable of idealism, purportedly jaded, still admittedly wet behind the ears when it comes to serious writing...

Believes that:

-- Piracy is technology's 'natural selection';

-- Chivalry is not dead, merely under-appreciated or misunderstood;

-- Being homosexual is a lifestyle choice, not a sickness or disease;

-- Being a bigot is for monkeys who like to pick their noses and/or the place where the sun doesn't shine and eat what comes out;

-- He's a nice guy, and likes to believe people believe that, as well;

-- It's impossible for humans to be the only sentient beings in this infinite galaxy (Say there's a one in a billion chance of life, and a one in a billion chance of any of it developing sentience... But there's an infinite galaxy, or something close to that, so there's an infinite number of one in a billion billions, or something close to that; thus, we are not alone. Thinking we're alone is just selfish and boorish);

-- 'Aliens' haven't visited us yet (There are thousands of extra-terrestrial sightings and reports of abductions and such from America and Canada, especially the former, and yet Japan has yet to chalk up a number with more than one digit... and even the smattering reports from there are less than unreliable, at best, taking into consideration the level of technology with digital imagery editing that's present in that country. What, so 'aliens' are only visiting America? Why? Japan is at least a decade ahead in technology and has a more stable workforce; why wouldn't the 'aliens' want to visit there when it's basically a flagship country for human development, setting the almost unbelievable quirks aside...);

-- The word 'aliens' should be phased out and replaced with extra-terrestrial, since we're all also technically 'aliens' to those 'aliens';

-- My grandfather is the damned coolest old person on the face of the planet.

I like writing. I find it hard to imagine myself doing anything except writing as a form of enjoyment and enjoying it more than I would when I write.

English is my second language. The first is Tagalog.

Here, let me give you an example sentence and a translation:

Tagalog: Palagay ko, kaya ako nagsusulat ay dahil marami akong gustong sabihin ngunit hindi ko kayang sabihin ang lahat ng gusto ko sa tamang tagapakinig at sa tamang oras; kaya't nagsusulat ako, dahil ang sinulat ko ay hindi kailanag ng oras - kahit anong oras gustuhin ng mambabasa ko, mababasa nila ang sinulat ko. Ayos, di'ba?

English: ... Rasanfassanwatchamaccalitboondockswaffles! Joe. Cookies!

(Just kidding.)

English: I think the reason I write is because I have plenty to say, but I can't seem to find the right audience at the right time to talk to about whatever it is I want to talk about; so I write, because what I've written needs no time nor no captive audience - whenever my readers would like, they can just go and read whatever it is I've written. Right on, eh?

Hey, thanks for checking out my profile, and thank you in advance for the reviews. I really value and appreciate each one, and I especially love criticism; it shows me where I need to improve. Don't hold back. Criticize me or praise me; whatever, I don't mind either, and I love hearing both. I hope you enjoyed my stories, or at least enjoyed telling me HOW I suck (Not HOW MUCH; that's just below my expected level of intelligence for you guys, jeez... Don't bust my balls here, I don't bash anyone without trying to be constructive... I just know you all are smart, thinking and decent people to a good degree, so don't shit on your own reputations and go around being total jerks without being the least bit helpful...)
