Occupation: Freelance graphic designer/illustrator, new restauranteur

Favorite toy as a child: Winter Poopoo, my stuffed polar bear.

Favorite toy now: It's a tie between a talking Squirt (that little turtle from Finding Nemo) doll that talks, i.e., "I'm happy, are you?", "First I was like woah, then I was like wooooah, then I was like woaaah!" and a talking Napoleon Dynamite doll I bought at the ukay as well. He enumerates his skills such as nanchuck skills.

Turn-offs: Authority (and/or authoritative figures), nagging, people who just settle, I suppose.

When you’re not busy with work, what do you do in your free time? I skate. And I also try to squeeze in beach trips with friends.

If you were to choose a different job, what would it be? A roxy surfer person. They always look like they're having the time of their lives. Oh and I want to do a movie with Seth Rogen, Michael Cera or Andy Samberg!

If you can have any super power, what would it be? Hmm siguro the ability to be anywhere at any time.

Where do you find inspiration for your creations? Children's storybooks, actual epic experiences of friends, family and me.

Most inspiring statement/moment (heard/said/read)? My friend Rovi Salegumba always says, "Sarapan mo lang." And I couldn't agree more.
