My Bio
After getting a piece of paper that says I know...uhhh..."BS Computer Science", I moved on in life and lived with the fact that my bio-timezone does not agree with my geo-timezone. Nowadays, if you're looking for me, I can be found in a condominium in Makati's red-light district coding in the midst of cuteness. Go figure.

Minolta Prime Time
First of all, I would like to make it clear that I did not burn PhP80k for a lens, no matter how beautiful. Hear my story out.
