Hello, my friends prefer to call me Er, well sometimes Ers...whatever. This is a li'l bit difficult for me (you know, the whole writing about myself stuff), I should've asked someone else to do this. But since the need calls for it...here goes nothing.

I live at a little suburban area at Antipolo City, Philippines. I was there since I was three, so i guess you could call that my hometown ( although my parents were from totally different not to mention faraway places). I'm 27 years old, still single ( although very much engaged to a very beautiful young woman..."hello Dei!"). I guess you could call me a light hearted, somewhat funny person. It's kind of my way of making up for some of my shortcomings as far as other aspects that makes up a person is concerned. I'd like to see myself as someone who prefers to live life at the sunny side of it.I prefer to keep things simple, somewhat low profile. I do think a lot.I guess that comes with package of this whole idea of "being an artist" thing. But no matter how "unserious" I may be, I cherish knowledge and wisdom. Im the kind of guy who'd spend the rest of his lunch break tryin to sneak up at bookstores and tearing up plastic covers just to take a peek inside. I love books, magazines, anything that catches my fancy. I believe that reading books will always be your best window to the world...both past and present.

Im not so much of a sociable person. I don't have a night life. I'd prefer a walk in the park over a night out with friends.Hey, dont get turned off, it does'nt mean I dont have friends...in fact, I do have lots of them. It's just that my idea of fun is a li'l bit different than the most of them (I guess). something I really enjoy most is having pets. I have 6 dogs...3 Labs, a dalmatian, and two old mutts. I have about 24 parakeets, 25 exotic chickens ( one of which is as big as a turkey ...Rex), 9 turkeys...and I do keep a fish tank. Among those...the Labradors are my favorite. I breed them. Someday I'l produce the best labradors in town....that's my vision.I like working at the garage, I love gardening...and hey, I use to do scale models too. I love playing with kids, something I would love to have someday with that special someone God gave me as a present five years ago (hello mahal!, konting tiis pa hane).

As crazy as it sounds...but my dream really is to buy a farm and raise ostriches (is that right...like plural...I dont know...whatever). That's something I would love to do with my father...something I have always wanted to do since I was a kid. I hope to fulfill that dream Lord willing ( so guys...help me pray okay!). In the meantime, I'm enjoying life...along with its tons of trials and tribulations.

Most importantly...I'm a born-again Christian. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe that no matter how hard I try to be righteous, it's going to be an exercise of futility as far as earning God's favor is concerned. I'm blessed because Im love by God. Love so much that He gave his life for me. I'm forgiven, I'm saved, soon I'll be totally delivered...that's my faith. That's me.
