About Me:
People would tend to say that passionate, ambitious, fun/thrill seeking, adventurous, high energy, positive, genuine, good conversationalist, very proud of who I am and what I've accomplished and loyal to my family and friends. I'm a strong believer on doing what you really love to do. I love exploring, experiencing, and learning about things/ideas/places. Among my friends, I'm the one that is very active and looking for ways to have fun and experience life. Morally, I believe in doing the right thing and not the easy or convenient thing, living an honorable life and that to get respect, you have to give respect. My life long goal is to bring pride and prestige to my family (and hopefully to have a great time and fun along the way).

friend when I transferred to Wilson.
He knows what to expect from life and
take full advantages in learning
outside of school (sorry i mentioned
school). It's a different kind of
scholarship. You have taken a unique
path that leads to leadership and
success! Your broad scope of knowledge
base has made you the center of any
conversation! that is a gift! Albert is
truly a friend that I applaud~
network. ;) Albert is always insightful
on a variety of topics (esp. business
and technology); he also knows what is
new and hot such as Friendster. A
gentleman and a scholar - did I mention
technologist?
grade
am ever so glad we are still friends.
He tries to make everyone around him
better in every way possible. I have to
warn you though, if you start a
conversation, you best be ready . . .
very knowledgable. He's not afraid to
try new things and is often has a
different perspective than others. I
look to learn new things from him
everytime I see him :)
KNOWS EVERYONE in the whole world!!
Seriously though, he's a stand up
guy. Always ready for a good party,
except when he's drunk, which is
REALLY WIERD! Hee hee =P
