Hello there! :)

You may call me Ralph. Filipino. 17 years old. Currently studying in the University of the Philippines. Graduated from UP Integrated School (UPIS) Class of 2008. Athlete, Member of the UP Varsity Swimming Team (since high school) and UP Futbol Club Sikad. Sports enthusiast. Not much of a techie. Weekend warrior, but not much of an adrenaline junkie (well, maybe a little. haha). Aspiring mountaineer, triathlete, (ultra) marathon runner, and many more!

I love listening to music (classical, jazz, reggae, oldies, the many kinds of metal, blues, almost all of the known genres). I play the violin, the guitar (I have a classical and an electric), and I’ll soon be learning sax. Loves to look at, sometimes stare, and appreciate any form of art (it may be a painting, graffiti, a mashed up collage of gross stuff and what not…)

Eager to meet new friends and see their work, travel around the world and be awed by the many sights and sounds the world has to offer.

Very active person by day…Very lazy by night xD

Equipment:
Nikon Coolpix S50 (yeah, it’s a point and shooter)

Oh, please do leave a comment or something to remember you by :) It would help and motivate me in my next works. And yes, you may give your critiques. I know (almost) everybody loves to be a critic. But please, no bashing, flaming, and the like. You don’t want to be a troll, right? haha. Thank you! :D
