I have this firm belief that I'm born to write. I started writing when I was in Grade 1. I had the penchant of stapling small leaflets of invented news. This little newspaper that I published at home were bought by my playmates, classmates and my mom's friends. Later on, when I transferred from Manila to Leyte I started writing horror novels - again, in leaflets. "Vampire City" was a hit to my classmates and even requested for a sequel. A lot of horror stories followed. When I went to high school, I worked my way to become the Editor-in-Chief of Calubian National High School's "The Green Field". When I studied at Eastern Visayas State University, I became a Photojournalist before finally being discovered and hired as field journalist for the Tacloban Star.

You see, paper works and imagination could give me satisfication since I am just a homeboy and doesn't go out a lot. Writing is definitely my passion. This is the only skill that I am proud to have. I write to express not to impress. When I have the urge to express my ideas, my anger or my pain, I write. because this is my only refuge.

I am a certified unsung nerd. And I have this firm belief that nerds will indeed inherit the earth because WE rule.
