I am a writer of sorts. Living here in the Philippines, I received this gift of God from my mother, who I think would be an excellent writer if she weren't so busy with work. I do love working on fantasy novels. The fancy words we used on this page were the figments of my imagination. Perhaps you can say I'm the serious side of this duo.

But of course, that doesn't mean I don't like to have fun. My idea of fun though is different from Bardic Curse's. Sure, we both love surfing the Net and working in this Inn to make it a better place for you. But when it comes to what we do when we're not together, we're very different. I like to read, write and compare my life with what I'm writing. You'll probably see much of the female characters in my stories in me.

I think the books I read influence my writing style. Sometimes, when I've just finished reading a fantasy novel, I'd get the urge to write something like it or in connection to it, some sort of a fan fiction. Currently, I love to read a fantasy book series, Dragonlance, which is where I get the ideas of love, war and deception.

I'm very big on ideas. I don't just think up the stories I write without sometimes checking with Bardic Curse if she has any ideas better than mine. That always adds the spice to the story I write because it's pretty easy to predict what would happen if only one person wrote down all the ideas. Bardic Curse is a very important source of ideas. She dreams up big conspiracies, though most of it never get into the story because it's so complicated.

Of all the things I value most I, think my Parker pen (with my name engraved on it too!) is my most prized possession. It was given to me by my friend, Glenn when our class exchanged gifts during a party. I use it to write my stories and ideas so I never leave home without it. And of course, when it comes to food, I can never get by without Potato Chips. I have it for recess everyday at school. I just really love the food... well next to pizza of course, which, to me, is the most important element for life on this planet!

What I like:

Well, as far as music is concerned, I'm very much into the mellower songs, especially harmony and pop groups of this day. I think the main groups and performers I like now are Hanson, Code Red, Boyz II Men and Backstreet Boys. For me, these bands are among the best musicmakers in the industry. I also like mild rock, nothing too noisy or disturbing, like The Corrs and Madonna. Music influences me a lot so I like to choose which songs I listen to whenever I'm doing something. That's one of the main reasons why I like pop/harmony groups: because they soothe the nerves, especially when I'm very jittery or tired.

I don't have any particular hobby. I'm just a regular teenager who likes to hit the mall on Saturday. The favorite things I do are just lazing around the house, watching MTV (hoping I'd get to see We Can Make It again), and writing. I'm pretty laid back, if boring.
