I am friendly, clever and unassuming guy.

When I was a kid I won a radio for saying the best thing about Toronto was the FOOD. Multiculturalism rocks!

I play tennis and basketball but I am quick to forget the score if I get a good workout.

Studied art in university but now I work in the trades.

I'm gallivanting. Taking some trade classes for work hence my username. I prefer to work with my hands.

I love going to concerts and don't mind driving outside the city to see a concert.

Baking Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies because my elementary school teacher taught our class. Giving directions and driving stick. Drinking lots of water.

I'm tall for a Flipino. I blame childhood swimming lessons with dinner at Swiss Chalet with my single dad and sister.

I like music because its better then listening to AM Radio. I listen to Jill Barber for smokie folkie and jazzy stuff. Camera Obscura when I feel super introverted. Destroyer for lazy disco club music. Sarah Harmer for trips outside the city. Waiting for the new Basia Bulat album. Favourite music stores are: Sonic Boom and Soundscapes.

I got many artists that I love: Maya Lin, Sebastiao Salgado, Lauren Greenfield, Edward Weston, Eric Quebral

The last book I read was Entry Level by Julie McIsaac.

My last trip: I went to Buffalo to go to the Albright Knox Gallery then George Eastman House. I drove all day. Got a steak hoagy and went to Target. Was it worth it? Yes. The Albright Knox Gallery is better then the AGO.

How did I get over? The Roots of course.

Going to my friends' art show
Titanium (not steel not carbon) bicycles.
The joy of finding the perfect tool for the job. I got an new inverter stick welder for example.
My favourite colour: BLUE.
Heartfelt conversations.

Life gives you the test before the homework.

Passed out on a soft surface.

Just ask me in person and I will tell you.

Your cat says you should go out more.

I say let go to a concert or go on a spurt of the moment road trip. You would say, "Yes".
