Why i am here? Most people in the world ask this question to themselves.

When i was little i dream to be an anime artist coz i love to draw anime. My first draw was Dragon Ball, Zenki and BTX when i was in grade school. I was more exposed on Anime than to Marvel Comics thats why my art style is japanese influence. My Highschool was a challenge to me coz i met a lot of artist there anime and non anime artist.and they really good when it comes to coloring. Im poor in coloring so i keep on practice and improving that someday ill be the great artist that i wanted to be. Before i graduate Highschool i want to take finearts with animation coz i want to make anime someday and ofcourse i want to make a manga. On that time i dont know what course to take. No one advise me about what course is that coz they said in fine arts there is no animation or computer base drawing or painting. Before i dont know what is digital painting or digital arts term even traditional which i already do ever since. So i end up of taking a course that i forced to take coz they said there is a big income there and thats Computer Engineering. That time when i take that course, my road to my dream is nothing but dream and i dont know where i should go. I dont know what path that i walk. That time my dream was gone it is as if i have no hope. Go to the flow of this World. Despite of my dream was gone that time. My hand cant stop to draw, my imagination always running in my mind. I dont know it is just simply i love to draw and i want to tell story. It is always my heart tells.

When i finished college my life was a miserable. It is hard for me to get a Job. Coz i always said to the company i dont like the course that i get so in the Job interview i always failed. My mom always angry with me because i dont have a Job and i always draw and draw all the time she said " Anu ba ang mararating mo dyan sa pagdodrawing, wala ka na ngang trabaho yung mga dinodrawing mo pang demonyo". In my mind i want o say " This is what i want in my life.. Someday im gonna succeed in this career". But I did not said that to her coz i respect her and i understand what her feeling and situations in life. So i find a Job to make her satisfied. My first job was a mess and i dont like it coz my boss always delayed my salary so in one year i resigned just for experience and find another Job. In my 2nd time finding a job was again miserable. I cannot find a Job that i really want. Even i apply in an art company they will not hire me coz my art is poor. I have Girlfriend that time my mom burst because of that. So my mom endorse me to my dads friend to apply in a government which is my present Job. When i work in this government there is so many things that has happen to me that it takes to the point that i've been block for a year that i cannot draw anymore because i am obsess with my girlfriend even if i know that shes cheating on me. Stress on work because of her. My mom push me to go to abroad even i dont want to etc etc. I cannot take this anymore so my heart finally decided to take away that burdens me. I break up my Girlfriend and i get rid of my moms saying she wants me to be. Its time for me to follow whats in my heart. A Dream that i want to pursue.

My Dream is to be a Greatest MANGAKA and Digital Artist!!!
