3rd Officer at Intercrew Philippines Agency Inc. and studied Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation at University of Cebu - METC. I currently reside in Valenzuela City, Philippines.

I’m totally passionate about my life and your career I want what I have and I have what I want! I do something that I feel strongly about and I have a deep commitment to. I’m a sucker for non-profit types and artists (not necessarily starving)! As long as you care about what you do and want to leave the world better than you found it, chances are we’ll get along great.

My family is an important part of who I am, however normal, crazy or in-between they might be. (What’s a normal family these days anyway, right) I value healthy relationships with my close friends and family, but I also have realistic expectations of my loved ones. In other words, I see the best in people while staying cool with human shortcomings. And I probably have a good sense of humor about my own! I can deal with flaws and imperfections, but I take serious issue with dishonesty.

I enjoy being good to myself on the weekends and take time out for myself. It’s important for me to stop and smell the roses (I do frequently), and to have as much fun as I can. But I still think it’s important to do something for someone else — even if it’s just holding a door for a senior citizen — every single day.

    OMG Facts: It’s possible to die of a broken heart!

    According to recent studies, it’s possible to die from heart failure after an intense emotional event! It’s called Stress Cardiomyopathy. It happens when emotional events such as death or divorce cause adrenaline levels in the body to rise to such high levels for days on end that the heart begins to die.

    Stress hormones are so high that they begin to “stun” the heart into failure. The occurrence was often misdiagnosed as a heart attack. Researchers found that, even though symptoms are similar, they are slightly different conditions.

    Because of the massive amounts of continuous adrenaline, or epinephrine, from emotional events the body can experience chest pain, fluid in the lungs, shortness of breath and even heart failure.

    OMG Facts: Want to eat less snacks? Switch the hand you eat them with!

    A psychologic study by the University of Southern Cal has found that subtle changes in the circumstances that you eat in affect how much you eat. To prove that people munch out of habit, they first ran a study in which they gave people stale popcorn. People who said that they were regular eaters of popcorn at the movies were a lot more likely to eat the stale popcorn than those who didn’t.

    Another interesting thing they found was that when people switched the hand they ate snacks with, from the dominant hand to the other one, they ate less snacks. In this study, people who ate popcorn with their non-dominant hand were less likely to eat than the ones who did it with their dominant hand. 

    Our only question is… what if you’re ambidextrous?

    Random Facts: Want to grow a beard faster? Think about sex.

    Facial hair is largely governed by production of testosterone, which is known to be secreted by the testicles in greater quantities during and in anticipation of intercourse. Scientists have also found that increased beard growth was associated with tension, mental fatigue, alcohol and increased shaving. On the other hand, it is apparently curtailed by heavy exercise and high temperatures.

    Random Facts: Each of the main characters in Spongebob Squarepants was inspired by one of the seven deadly sins.

    This surprising revelation was made in the audio commentary included with the episode “Plankton!” on the DVD boxset of the show’s first season. The disc does not establish which characters match up with each sin, but as an avid Spongebob fan, I believe the comparisons are fairly straightforward: 

    1. Greed (Mr. Krabs) - this is by far the most obvious comparison that can be made. The avarice of Eugene Krabs is made painfully clear throughout the series. He is constantly thinking of ways to turn a profit, even if it involves taking advantage of his friends or putting them in harmful situations! In one episode, he sings a song called “If I Could Talk to Money”…and there’s even a wiki page devoted to compiling all of his greedy plans! 
    2. Envy (Plankton) - another no brainer. With all of Krabs’ wealth and good fortune, there has been an equal amount of hard luck and failure for his archrival, Sheldon Plankton. Plankton owns a struggling restaurant called “The Chum Bucket” and is consumed with the desire to achieve the success of his adversary. His life’s goal is to steal the Krabby Patty formula from his Krabs and drive his primary competitor out of business. 
    3. Sloth (Patrick) - the guy lives under a rock for crying out loud! If that isn’t enough to convince you, in the episode “Big Pink Loser” Patrick is given an award for ‘doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else’. He then proceeds go back under his rock to protect his title. 
    4. Pride (Sandy) - the fact that Sandy Cheeks is from Texas alone should almost suffice for this one. She is a squirrel that is very proud of her heritage, so much so that in one episode she nearly moved back home! Sandy also takes a great deal of satisfaction in being the only land critter living down in Bikini Bottom among all the fishy folk. Though generally a good-natured individual, Sandy is quick to spout off about the greatness of the Lone Star state or to show off her athleticism in a karate match or a weightlifting contest. 
    5. Wrath (Squidward) - Squidward Tentacles has no qualms about expressing his negative outlook on life, whether it be by describing how much he hates his job at the Krusty Krab or through outward disdain for his two obnoxious neighbors. He is portrayed as a general failure who refuses to acknowledge his own personal flaws. This constant self-denial manifests itself in a sarcastic sense of humor and resentment toward the society that doesn’t ‘appreciate’ his creativity and clarinet…erm…”skills”. 
    6. Gluttony (Gary) - now this one’s a bit trickier. Those who have watched a great deal of the series will have noticed a number of jokes about Spongebob having to remember to feed his pet snail. To be honest, Gary doesn’t do a whole lot besides eating and meowing, and the meowing is often due to the fact that he is hungry. Once when Spongebob hadn’t fed his pet, Gary is shown eating parts of their couch! In another episode, Gary runs away from home because Spongebob forgot to feed him for a while. Another time when Spongebob had amnesia, Gary ate a year’s supply of snail food and became morbidly obese! This proves beyond a doubt that when left to his own devices, Gary would rather do nothing but eat. 
    7. Lust (Spongebob) - our final analogy is probably the least apparent because we typically think of ‘lust’ in a sexual sense. However, the alternative definition for lust is simply “a passionate desire for something”. In this sense of the word, it cannot be denied that our absorbent yellow friend is an extremely lustful creature. Spongebob has a lust for life that is incomparable to most other cartoon characters - he yearns for the affections of both friend and foe alike, is eager to please, and will often stop at nothing to complete a task.

    Random Facts: Smoking can shorten a man’s penis.

    The effect is similar to smoking’s effect on a person’s heart. The blood vessels within the penis are constricted, which allows for decreased blood flow. This lessened flow has a negative effect on the elasticity of the penis and prevents it from achieving its full length once erect. Studies have shown that over time, these effects can reduce the overall length by as much as 1 cm! 

    According to one researcher, smoking has more direct harmful impact on the penis than it does on the heart!

    Random Facts: Harry Potter author JK Rowling, admitted that Dumbledore is gay. He was in love with a wizard named Grindelwald whom he later defeated in a duel.

    “I had always seen Dumbledore as gay, but in a sense that’s not a big deal. The book wasn’t about Dumbledore being gay. It was just that from the outset obviously I knew that he had this big, hidden secret and that he flirted with the idea of exactly what Voldemort goes on to do, he flirted with the idea of racial domination, that he was going to subjugate Muggles. So that was Dumbledore’s big secret. 

    He’s an innately good man, what would make him do that? I didn’t even think it through that way, it just seemed to come to me, I thought, ‘I know why he did it. He fell in love.’ And whether they physically consummated this infatuation or not is not the issue. The issue is love. It’s not about sex. So that’s what I knew about Dumbledore. And it’s relevant only in so much as he fell in love and was made an utter fool of by love. He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think subsequently became very mistrusting of his own judgement in those matters so became quite asexual. He led a celibate and a bookish life.” 

    — J.K. Rowling, in a March 9, 2008 interview

    Random Facts: One tablespoon of semen has approximately 20 calories. Semen also contains zinc and calcium which helps prevent tooth decay.

    One typical ejaculation contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg of carbohydrates, 6 mg fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7% US RDA potassium and 3% US RDA copper and zinc. The protein content is roughly equivalent to that found in one egg white. Also, women physically exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. The ingesting of it is called ‘spermophagia’. Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer.

    Random Facts: Yawning is contagious — even thinking about yawning is enough. After reading this fact, there is a 50% chance you will yawn.

    Research shows that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. Yawns become contagious to people between the first and second years of life. When one person in a group yawns, over half of the people in the group will yawn within 5 minutes, and the rest will at least be tempted to yawn. Even animals yawn when they see another animal yawn. The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds, and guys yawn for longer than girls.

    Random Facts: Having sex can reduce a fever because of the sweat produced.

    Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain’s blood vessels is lowered while we have sex. So now we see that actually, a woman’s headache is rather a good reason for having sex, not against it.

    Random Facts: The word ‘Christian’ only appears three times in the entire Bible!

    Those three times are in Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16. Interestingly enough, All three of these passages are from books in the New Testament that take place after Jesus was already dead. According to Acts 11:26, the disciples of Jesus first started using the word “Christian” at Antioch.

    OMG Facts: Apple predicted its own future!

    Apple’s iPhone 4S announcement had many feeling a little déjà vu. That’s because the phone’s new language-based voice assistant called Siri, which can converse with iPhone owners, was the apple of Apple’s eye decades before yesterday’s announcement. In 1987, Apple released a video showing its prediction of a voice-based personal assistant on a touchscreen computer.

    In the video a professor goes over his schedule with his touchscreen computer’s virtual assistant. The professor’s calendar says it’s September 16. When he asks his virtual assistant for a research paper from five years ago, the assistant pulls up a paper from 2006. That means the 1987 video was set to take place in September 2011, just one month before Apple will actually release the same voice-based assistant technology.

    The eerie coincidence was not lost on social media. @TechCrunch called it “Siri-ous Mind Blowing,” and @jws7 says it’s a “Spooky future prediction from Apple.”
