About Me:
I like solitary activities; in a past life, I might have been an atheistic monk. I once considered becoming a Trappist monk; unfortunately, the atheism got in the way.
But I'm not really antisocial--I also do things with other people-- especially people I like. But mostly, I spend my time in my room either reading or calculating something using pen and paper. Or using a computer. Or riding around the metropolis on my bicycle.
I read almost anything: from the pornographic to the profound, although my main interests are mathematics and physics. Right now though, I'm back to studying gravity. My collaborators and I are currently solving Einstein's field equations and studying energy conditions.
I'm back to being a student (and teacher) again. I've quit my job as an answering machine, and went back to thinking full-time about physics, and boring students by trying to explain things that they think they have no earthly use for.
I learn by trying to explain something to myself first, then I go around explaining it to my friends so that I could refine my understanding. That makes me a nuisance sometimes, especially when my friends are busy, and I'm very excited by the new stuff I learned.
Right now though, I'm supposed to be studying for comprehensive exams, but keep on getting distracted by manga. There are nifty websites such as mangafox.com and onemanga.com which contain free translated scans of manga--- and one can spend whole days reading through them.

-Mike is religious (religion does not always mean God-in-a-usual sense of course). Someday he will probably build the Kampon ni
St. Landau religious org
-He likes to flatter the mathematicians---in a sarcastic way, but atleast it sounded as a flattery.
-he hates rigorous proofs (I wont provide a rigorous proof about this claim)
-he is suffering the difficulty of being intellectually superior and humble at the same time
-ask him for a detailed solution and he will say "Hmm..gawin mo!"; ask him for a hint and he will show the solution, spoiling the problem.
-He is the DCR's advertising executive. Ask him for a good reference and he will hand a you a book saying "Pa-xerox mo..."
