I'm born and raised in San Diego but i'm a winter weather kinda guy. Not into the warmer weather but can withstand it. I'm 27. I would consider myself an introvert but, by no means, am I shy at all. I enjoy deep conversations but know how to keep it real. I love to laugh. i think its one of nature's best medicines. I enjoy sarcasm. I value honesty over optimism but I am generally a positive person/thinker. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong but not because I'm a pushover; but because I'm human and man enough to admit I am. I am usually that friend in a group of friends that is the advice-giver. My friends know that 3pm or 3am, i'll be there for them. I'm no longer into the club scene. Done it and over it. I'm more of a bar kinda guy but you can usually find me at a coffee shop drinking tea either writing, doing homework, or watching youtube videos trying to get inspired. I dig long drives/road trips and karaoke bars. I play the guitar and billiards. I don't consider myself a movie buff but i do get those days when that's all i wanna do is watch. I'm also into spoken word and slam poetry. I perform at open mics whenever I get a chance to and sometimes travel out of town as well for it.

Go San Diego Chargers!
Go San Diego Padres!
Go Los Angeles Lakers!

I graduated from the San Diego Culinary Institute in 2006, done baking and pastry at Southwestern College, worked in the food industry for 4 1/2 years and I wanted to learn more about the business aspect and nutritional side of the industry so i'm going to school full time to get my Associates in Culinary Management and my Dietary Services Supervisor Certificate at San Diego Mesa College. I finish in Spring 2014. I want to move into the healthcare aspect of food then eventually opening up my own filipino fusion cafe. I also do spoken word poetry at open mics.

Listening and connecting with people. Being able to hear and connect with people is a lost art these days but i've been able to pick it up and run with it. I'm also good at cooking (as it is my profession), and singing.

Sometimes its the shirt i'm wearing...sometimes its the hat. It depends on the day and where but more than likely, its my smile. There's no reason to not wear one any chance i get.

Books - Quiet: Introverts in a world that can't stop talking, In Defense of Food, Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, cookbooks and poetry books.
Movies - Shawshank Redemption, Grease, The Green Mile
Shows - Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, Sportscenter, also going to Open Mic shows
Music - r&b and slow jamz all the way.
Food - anything and everything...i'm a foodie.

Not in any particular order:
Water
Pen and Journal
Singing/Music
Computer (desktop, laptop, or tablet)
Car
Internet

Stuff that I need to get done and how to get them done efficiently, places i need/like to go, food, and new ideas for poems.

either studying, out with friends, watching a movie, or resting but honestly...there's really no such thing as a "typical Friday".

I'm a hopeless romantic.

-you're looking for someone who isn't about the games or the run around. i'm looking for someone who is equally as willing to be in a long term relationship. but if it doesn't work out, i'm cool with being friends also.

-you've got a great sense of humor and don't take yourself too seriously...gotta be able to laugh at yourself also! =)

-you're a foodie who'd be willing to try anything and everything.

-or if none of the above apply to you and for some reason want to get to know me more.
