AS A WRITER:

I started writing poems when I was still in high school. I wrote them for my friends, and they gave them to their loved ones or crushes. As time passed, I began to write short stories.

By 2010, I already had fourteen short stories. At the end of each month, I published one of my works on this Fan Page. I got nervous every time I posted my stories because I didn't know what my readers' feedback would be. Thankfully, they liked them all.

AS A FILMMAKER:

When I was young, I used to play with my toys, but I didn't just play with them like other kids. I practiced my creativity at a young age with my toys, creating environments, characters, and scripts just like in the movies.

Later on, as I grew up, I carried that passion with me. Eventually, I finally lived my dream with the movie "LARO" (2010). It was a low-budget film, but the viewers' reactions were priceless.

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER:

Just like filmmaking, being a photographer is one of my dreams. When I was young, I used to tell myself, "I WISH I HAD A CAMERA OF MY OWN." I wanted to show everyone how beautiful the world truly is and the things in it. I wanted each and every one to see and enjoy the little things life has to offer.

I believe photography takes you to the place where you want to go or allows you to express yourself to the world. I encourage everyone to get their cameras, and it's not necessary to buy SLRs to achieve professional-looking photos. Like I said, love and enjoy the little things. This also applies to your camera, even if it's a point-and-shoot or on your mobile phone.

"GREAT AND BIG THINGS START FROM SMALL THINGS."
