Software Engineer

Some of them I have no longer paid my dues; some of them are no longer relevant: Mensa Philippines, Association for Computing Machinery, Cebu GNU Linux Users Group, USC Computer Society, Datalogics Society, Boholano Carolinian Community, Carolinian Residents Association, Digital Filipino, etc... Hehe.

Playing DOTA (Defense of the Ancients, a game based on Warcraft III). Photography, if given the chance to borrow a digital SLR (update, as of 2009: I have my own DSLR now, yey!). Solitary walks in the seashore. Flying paper planes from rooftops or mountain peaks and watching them glide. Watching sunsets.

Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Handbook on Christian Apologetics, What Makes Man Truly Human?, I'm OK, You're OK, Today Can Be the Best Day of Your Life, Startrek series, Arthur Clark's Space Odyssey series, Angels and Demons, The C++ Programming Language, C++ Programming Reference, A Book on C, Data Structures and Algorithms, Advanced Unix Programming, The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, Elliptic Curve Cryptography, and many, many more... In general, I am facinated with books on Computer Science, Theology, and Philosophy. I am also facinated with Psychology, because I can learn how to analyze the reason why people act the way they do, even if they are only vaguely aware of it themselves...

Deja Vu, 300, A Beautiful Mind, Wicker Park, The Illusionist, The Inside Man, etc...

Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Acoustic, Instrumentals, RnB (but not hip-hop, except for a select few), Chillouts, Psy, Trance, and Goa. Music cannot change my emotions, but emotions affect the way I perceive it.

Naruto, Bleach, Prison Break, StarGate SG-1 and Atlantis, Smallville, 24, Dr. House, Startrek, Firefly, Eureka

Libra

"I thrive on chaos and complexity, and live in a world of theoretical possibilities."

I am drawn towards Computer Science, Philosophy, Theology, and Metaphysics, and on other subjects that are difficult to fully master in the course of my lifetime. The more difficult is something to comprehend, the more I find it fascinating and fulfilling to explore.

I like to daydream and ponder about the meaning of our existence, and I always wonder how our universe began, and how it will end. I like to spend my time in solitude away from the world, and I often find myself on rooftops and on mountain peaks designing software architectures whilst enjoying the wind breeze through my face. I often like to observe people and have passionate interest in social justice, but this has always stood in curious contrast to a marked lack of desire for mingling and associating with them.

I am a former atheist searching for life's meaning.

Caffeine, Life:
I am addicted to café américano/espresso/long black.

- I want to meet my past and future self.
- I want to meet extraterrestrial beings from other planets.
- I want to meet God (while I'm alive, that is).

This is a description of someone whom I wish to spend my life with. It is encrypted with a simple cipher called ROT13.

Fortunately, I have found this girl already. Her name is ****.
