About Me:

I'm a 24 year old half-Filipin​o male and have recently joined the US Navy because I was fortunate enough to learn that I wouldn't have been happy wasting away behind a desk for most of my life.  It may be cliche, but I want to see the world because the view from my cubicle absolutely sucked. What would you choose if you had the choice between a sea of cubicles and..well.. the sea?!?

With that said, I am looking forward to visiting new places and would definitely like to check out Brazil, Australia, China, Korea, Japan, the UK, France, & Portugal.  Even though where I go is ultimately up to the Navy, I can still dream, right?!?

As far as a quick summation of my personality,​ my friends say that I'm a metrosexual,​ pretty boy rockstar (sans the talent and fame) whose life is a random occurrence of comedic mishaps.  Please, keep in mind that I still don't know if I agree with their assessment.  I guess you'll just have to see for yourself.

Requests:

I'm just looking to meet some new and interesting people.  It would be cool to find someone with whom I can exchange, books, music, etc.  However, we probably won't have much to talk about if you're older than mid-20s. 

I'm getting into having snail-mail penpals since writing letters to friends is one of the few joys I have while at Navy Officer Candidate School.  However, I am looking for LASTING penpals and am not interested in ones who disappear after one or two letters.

Also, my best friend and I are planning a summer trip to Australia after years of talking about it.  If you're from there, then feel free to drop me a line as well because we have no idea what to do when we get there!

Language Exchange Requests:

I took four years of Spanish in high school (1998-2002) and am half-Filipin​o, so Spanish and Tagalog are two languages that I'm interested in.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Riding my motorcycle (2007 Honda Shadow Spirit), Playing poker, Reading, Running, Working out, Exchanging witty banter (i.e. sarcasm)

I have a tattoo on my left shin and an earring in each ear.  Though I probably won't get anymore piercings, I wanted another tattoo as soon as I got my first.  Tats are addicting!

Favorite Music:

One of my favorite hobbies is collecting rock, punk, & alternative covers of popular songs from the past.  Here are some of my favorites:
* "Straig​ht Up" (Paula Abdul) covered by Halifax
* "I Think We're Alone Now" (popularized​ by Tiffany) covered by The Click Five
* "End of the Road" (Boyz II Men) covered by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
* "Umbrella"​ (Rihanna) covered by Lillasyster
* "You Oughta Know" (Alanis Morissette) covered by The Killing Moon
* "Bye, Bye, Bye" (NSYNC) covered by Further Seems Forever
* "Califo​rnia Love" (2Pac & Dr. Dre) covered by Tribal Ink
* "In the Air Tonight"​ (Phil Collins) covered by Nonpoint
* "I'm Real" (J-Lo) covered by The Starting Line
* "My Heart Will Go On" (Celine Dion) covered by New Found Glory

Also, I have recently developed an interest in older rock bands such as Journey, Queen, Styx, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith.

Favorite Movies:

The New Guy; Can't Hardly Wait; Rush Hour 1, 2, & 3; Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle; Con Air; Face/Off; The Rock; Fools Rush In; Serendipity

Favorite TV Shows:

Lost; Family Guy; Simpsons; Fresh Prince of Bel Air; Boy Meets World

Favorite Books:

I read mostly thriller, adventure, and suspense novels.

Favorite Quotes:

"You'd be in great shape if you ran like your mouth."​ - Just Surrender

"Losers​ always whine about their best. Winners go home and f**k the prom queen."​- Sean Connery as John Patrick Mason in "The Rock"

Hmm.. 7 or 8 years perhaps? Though I've only been riding behind my father so far. My economy aren't allowing me to get a license of my own yet :P
