I have truly sampled the life of an Ambassador's Kid. I was born in San Francisco, Cali, U.S.A. (DA BAY!) and was raised there for the first five years of my life. I've also spent some time growing up out in the East Side in New York (or "New Yohhk", "New Yahhk" as some people would have it) where my father was posted on two separate assignments. Finished high school in warm and sunny SoCal (West Side Baby!) and earned my degree in journalism out in the chilly Midwest (AU-Michigan). Now I am a distinguished diplomat (yeah, whatever) working for the Philippine Foreign Service at the DFA, Manila! I really have this knack for people who love comic book heroes (Superman, Batman, Spiderman,...you name them!) and people who love to travel and explore the world. I am a proud diplomat's son who has visited my folks (who are both honorably serving in the foreign service) wherever they have been posted: Libya, Australia, China, D.C. ...to name a few. But I'm rather down-to-earth and likable, especially to my close barkadas and friends. Like what Bruce Wayne is to Batman, daytime administrative office work is merely my facade, the travel and lifestyle journalist writer in me is my true identity. Now dig that!

Friendly people, of course! =)
