1. I started playing musical instruments when i was 14. My first instrument was a guitar. I learned by self-study. I learned to play the bass at the age of 16. Also, at that age, i learned to translate guitar chords to piano chords. I was able to fully play a keyboard at the age of 29 when i got my casio keyboard. My musical exposure was a result of my liking for the music of the Beatles. My favorites are John Lennon and Paul McCartney (composers and vocals), Paul McCartney and Phil Collins (instrumentalists), Gary Valenciano and Regine Velasquez (filipino artists);
2. Of course, my favorite food are Filipino dishes. Sinigang na Buto-Buto (spare ribs) is my favorite ulam. In fishes, my favorite is dalag (mudfish), next are lapulapu (red snapper), tilapia (st. peter's fish), bisugo. Next to the Filipino cuisine, i like chinese;
3. Cartoons, yes, from childhood, i loved many cartoons and these are among them: Scooby Doo, Muttley and Dynomutt (dogs), Superfriends, Mighty Tor and Herculoids (super heroes), Moby Dick (whale), Gigantor, Great Mazinger, Mazinger Z and UFO Grendaizer (robots). I also like superhero cartoons like Superman, Superboy, Batman, Spiderman, Aquaman and many others;
4. I hate traffic but i love long-distance driving;
5. I have knowledge in electronics (audio, digital), computers (hardware, software and peopleware), mechanics (auto and diesel) and robotics;
6. No marriage plans as of now, i love being single as of this time and so far i haven't found the right girl (one who'll be true to me and not for anything else) for me yet.
