I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. That makes me
Canadian, but I've been living here in California, by way
of Bakersfield, Carson, Long Beach, and Rowland Heights,
for twelve years now. I dont have a Canadian accent
anymore, so dont ask me to say aboot, hoouse, or wicked. I
dont end every phrase by saying EH!, I tend to say dude a
lot more though. I've come to realize that you can have a
whole conversation with the word dude, it's all in the
expression and the tone you say it (you should try it
sometime).
I have dreadlocks, which is unatural for Pilipinos. I
didnt get them for reasons of vanity, rather I decided to
grow them as an exercise in patience, loyalty, hardwork,
and a belief in animism. I use a special shampoo that
allows me to wash my locks and scalp whenever I want
(usually about every other day), so my head is not dirty
at all. I dont know when I am going to cut them because I
have a sentimental attachment to them. They are a
testament of the past 3 and a half years of my life seeing
all of my good and bad times.
I love all types of music, it's one of the things
that make my "SOUL IRIE". I believe that music is life,
and that everyone has a soundtrack to thier lives. Right
now, mine has a lot of funk and soul in it. I get the
highest high when I hear musicians play ill solos on thier
instruments especially guitars, horns, vibraphones, and
percussion. I believe in the four elements of hip hop, but
I appriciate rock 'n f***'n roll, and the music that my
dad used to play on his record player. I believe that Bob
Marley was half right when he said "One good thing about
music is when it hits you feel no pain" because music can
evoke pain and sadness though its composition and lyrics
just listen to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis or any
Dashboard Confessional song. Nonetheless it's a good
quote.
I like to go out to cool spots for the occaisional drink
(or two), good mus

Good people with positive vibrations, that have something
interesting to say. Stevie Wonder, Hugh Hefner, Natalie
Portman, Iron Chef Sakai, Shannyn Sossamon, Amel Larrieux,
and if they
were still alive... my Nanay, John Lennon, Stevie Ray
Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Dr. Jose Rizal, Marvin Gaye, Bruce
Lee, and Bob Marley so I could say thanks, and much
respect due for thier contributions to the world. Oh yeah
and I still want to meet an Around the Way Girl. PEACE!
