Call me Geriko. Gio, Eric or Koh for short. I was born in Manila. I grew up in various different places all over the.... world. hehe :D I have a loving family. My dad's a musician while my mom does pastries and confectioneries. They raised me very well. I have two younger sisters who are very supportive to me. I love my family despite of the ups and downs we regularly encounter.

In terms of finance, our family just rose from financial problems over the past few years but just got through recently. Though they have their priorities in terms of expenses; school comes first. My dad chose a simple life. Though he is very capable of being glamorous, but at the expense of him not being with us. But we always support and we appreciate him for staying with us, and respect him with that.

As for myself, I'm just your normal type of guy. I'm 5'9 in height and still growing(hopefully :D), medium complexion, brown eyes, dark hair and average build type of body (about 135lbs). I love wearing a baseball cap, it's my trademark I'd say. I usually wear sleeves, slacks and leather bottoms. But lately I've been into tight shirts and jeans. I wear dark colors like brown, black, blue and gray since they suit me.

I'm usually the silent type who'd only talk when asked and when I want to share something. But that doesn't mean I'm not friendly. I can be a good acquaintance but I only select my close friends. But I'm happy with it, at least I can act independently. I do love to party sometimes to stress out. But I don't drink and smoke. I'd usually just eat some good food then dance or listen to a good music.

My culture is various. I usually act like an English lad. That's why you'll see me smile a lot even at strangers then greet a lot when I pass by someone I know. I'm proud to be a filipino though.

I have my morale. And I value it a lot. But that doesn't mean I'm not open minded. My parents brought me up to know what's wrong and what's right. That I should fight for whatever is right. And I live with a Samurai's code of honor. I would never pick someone who's not my size. I'd die fighting someone stronger and bigger than me in a fair fight, rather than beat him with a weapon. I always like to beat the odds. I use my brain when fighting paired speed and precision. But I always avoid conflicts at any costs. It's usually my last option. I'm a peace loving person.

I love being a Catholic. It's mainly because I love being free. I am however, the modern open minded type. I don't follow all the teachings of a priest since I think most of them are not true. I, however, do select what to follow. I treat them as guidelines.

I love animals a lot. It's a dream of me someday to have a Safari adventure at the African savanna and wrestle with lions. I love felines a lot, They're so cute and unpredictable. I'm so fond of the feline culture. I do have four playful cats. I treat them as my babies. :D

I always want to be an aviator for the navy but my parents didn't want me to. So over the past few years, I devoted myself to sports. I play a lot of them and although I cannot always win, at least I guarantee to give my opponents a good game. However it's different with tennis. I love that sport very much. And there was one point that I gave-up my studies just to get a sponsorship, had I not only wasted those chances twice. :(

So I've been busy with computers lately. I that's what I do for a living aside from being a student. Besides troubleshooting and fixing PCs, I usually recommend a system for a customers' purpose. It's usually about getting the best build possible for their money. I usually charge $10 an hour but there are times that I just do it for free as a charity. I want to promote technology. So it'll help make things easier to people, especially to my countrymen. I do work as a public relations for AMD and ATI and promote their products. I do it for free for a good cause: To promote technology. I recently found my dream there: That is to become a marketing director for AMD. And I won't mind having no salary. I just want that company to be an instrument in helping people. Anyway, if you need to know something about computers, just feel free to ask me anytime.

Here's an example of what I do:
