"I am a writer. I am a middle child, but more like Greg, and nothing like Peter. I am bicultural ~ American of Filipino descent. I have the Napoleon Syndrome, google it! Chinese food is best, by far. I skydived and ran my first LA Marathon in the same year, 1995. I've seen U2 live seventeen times. I've been hit with a baseball in my right eye, twice. Cutting my nails is an obsession. I once purchased a bottle of Ginkgo Biloba to help my memory, but I kept forgetting where I put it. I agree with my father when he says: "you haven't experienced the true America until you've experienced New York." I love all sports played with a ball. The very first movie I ever saw where I cried my eyes out was The Color Purple. I know that "time heals all wounds", but I also know that "time wounds all heals". I believe that a peace-based, checked- and-balanced, American democracy-type “one-world government” will one day create world peace; all countries will be downgraded to states, and the planet will be called “The United States of Earth”. Go USE! My favorite color is blue. I think Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. I want to be famous, but only for positive reasons. I’ve seen Queen, The Clash, The Who, and The Go-Go’s in concert. I sing the body electric, and I celebrate the me yet to come. My favorite athlete of all time is Bo Jackson. I can't wait for my next chord progression. I’m starting with the man in the mirror, but I can’t promise he’ll change his ways. My dad has the most beautiful handwriting; my mom writes like a first grader. guess from whom do I get my handwriting from? I love and hate playing golf at the same time.  Eight is my favorite number. I've never been to Tahiti, but yeah mon, I've been to Jamaica. My favorite ice-cream flavors are Thrifty's Pistacio Nut and Chocolate Malted Crunch. I once played bingo with Mother Teresa. I want "Kite" by U2 to be played at my funeral. My highest bowling score is 228. I have never broken a bone in my body. (Knock on wood.)  Imaginatively, artistically, and productively, I believe I am in the best shape of my life!"
