Shiawase ni narou.

The writer loves to circumnavigate the world alone. He loves going to out-of-the-way places and see extraordinary sceneries. He always brings his camera and its charger. He loves towers, bridges, trees and animals, Oh, he hates animals that can kill. He is a social animal. He loves speaking to people. He loves meeting cultures and traditions.


He is a self-confessed anthropologist and socio-political communicator. He dreams of having an overnight stay at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. He was born in Brunei Darussalam but never learned how to speak Malay. He is currently studying Nihonggo through his brother’s old modules.


He has two important blog sites, a private Facebook account and a semi-private Twitter account. He is a proud alumnus of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) College of Mass Communication. He has a bunch of friends and he writes them in his notebook. He loves books, coffee and yogurt. He buys three notebooks a week with no purpose.


He was a sports writer for a national newspaper. He also contributes his stories to another national newspaper and hoping to be the editor-in-chief of his own newspaper. He is now working as a web writer in a web development and 3D animation company but he prefers to be called a digital media journalist. It sounds better.

Top seeds in quarters

TOP seed Kim Ivo Saraza and No. 2 Paul Nicole Magaway scored easy victories on Wednesday to advance to the boys’ under-18 quarterfinals of the Tru-Flex National Age Group Tennis Championships at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.

Fisrt seed Saraza, who drew a bye in the first round, defeated Chino Villatito, 6-0, 6-2, and will face the winner of the match between Arjohn dela Cruz and Ed Amor. Second seed Magaway blanked Resty Maño, 6-0, 6-0.

Magaway, a former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion from La Salle Greenhills, will next face Bletchley Rocafort, who overcame his Manila Southwoods Tennis Academy teammate Miles Bingcang, 7-5, 2-6, 10-4.

“I always try to do my best in every game. I practice and work hard to sharpen my ball returns,” said the 17-year-old Magaway, who represented the country in the last Head International Tennis Federation (ITF) Junior Circuit in Singapore.

Third seed Akio Sy outlasted John Altiche, 6-2, 5-7, 10-5, and will next face the winner of the Pemrick Alina-Raymark Gulfo tussle.
