 Jan 22, 2006 I WANT TO PROMOTE MINDANAO TO THE WORLD. I am a photojournalist of 14 years and have been traveling around the country and in Asia to document stories of human interest. As a writer, artist and photographer, I scribble, paint and capture from experiences, exploring unknown places armed with my dental floss, cameras and asthma inhaler. I used to be afraid to go out of my box, literally. One day after a rude awakening in my early years, I decided to live life on the edge and never looked back. I rode in a helicopter and flew headlong into freak storm clouds in the mountains of Banaue, crash-landing on an earthworm-filled cabbage patch of g-stringed Ifugaos. That was my first life happily wasted. I've got eight left. I shook and swayed in a two-seater banca in the raging waters of the Pacific in Dinagat Island to visit a remote island inhabited by an unknown cult who believes the UFOs are landing on their barren land. I climbed Mount Apo in my highly strung state of asthma and lived to recover 10,311 ft. above sea level, grinning and wheezing from the chill. In my lifetime I've had more than 20 dogs, and now have five dogs who sleep on my bed. I discovered little known places, lived and breathed with the locals, ate the most exotic dishes, and have my share of Oprah moments. I am an insomniac who loves to write in the wee hours of the morning, and scribble like there's no tomorrow. I am an artist minus the temper tantrums...i sketch, paint and create moments from a vivid imagination. If I find you unusual, I create your caricature on the spot. Otherwise, when the itch gets me, I go somewhere just to shoot images. Currently, I contribute for several publications, both local, national (M and Zee Magazines) and international (Mabuhay Magazine), while I maintain a lifestyle and travel column in SunStar Davao newspaper since 1994. I also give workshops on art, web design and photojournalism. My split personality likes to host on TV, weddings and big events, while my other non-sociable half prefers to visit unknown destinations together with my photography mentor and partner, Rhonson Ng. I have had several art and photo exhibits, with my images published in newspapers, magazines, brochures, billboards, websites and coffee table books. Someday, I dream of having my own coffee table book. I am a nonconformist, obsessed with funny street signs and Asian horror movies and am pleasantly unpredictable. My "infamous" site is www.witerary.com, where I suddenly got my 15 minutes of cyber fame (or notoriety) to Pinoys around the world in 2006 because of this silly fetish for collecting signs. In college and soon after, I was a dance choreographer, a breakdancer, and a fashion model, until age caught up with me. But my SPIRIT will never grow old. My favorite character is Spongebob Squarepants. AND I AM FOREVER AN 80S GIRL. Ironic - Alanis Morissette - Various  
 Nov 17, 2009 MY PHOTOBLOG-A-DAY: Trust Me My hand reaches out to this beautiful animal, while my other hand steadies itself for a tight crop shot. It was quite a balancing act in my effort not to scare away the animal. * * * Each day, I shall post a photo and tell a little story... more
