9.) can you describe yourself to us? yung mas malalim na ernest deep inside?

-> Im a nerdy type of person and just started exploring other possibilities e.g social life just this year, During my college days I was already a working student at the age of 16 as an IT in a corporate world while also having an Academic Scholarship. The reason why is because I want to explore more things in life other than studying ( Full time employee and Full unit course) , I also graduated as Cum Laude and finished my studying at the age of 18. during those days I really don’t care about my looks, body and social life, My previous life was all about learnings and preparing for my future as a programmer. Now I’m exploring things e.g hiking, travelling and many more to come! haha.

I also love listening to classical, jazz, soul music e.g Michael Franks and earl klugh, I dont like listening to new music because it makes my brain hurts! specially those beats! it makes me want to punch the speaker haha.

My usual day after work or weekend is having a cup of tea while listening songs from my mentioned artists above DURING 2PM and 2AM ( times that most people are sleeping so I can embrace  and appreciate more the silence of reality ) #Weird!

-> I can learn and achieve anything I want as long as the only needed investment is brain..
