I love watching anime, movies, playing video games and sports, and reading books, but my favorite hobby is travelling, i had my first car when I was 16 and since, I was named "laagan" by my fam as I go from here to there to everywhere. Since I was a kid, my parents brought me to different cities, to countries, and now that I have 2 siblings, our travels were perfect, there was no time that we haven't enjoyed the trip, overall, I went to 25 cities here in the Philippines and 7 countries outside.

People often see me as a childish guy and yes, i may be childish when I'm in a free place but I know where to stay still and do my responsibilities, I don't like those people who judge me with my credibility and my skills. I know my self more as I am a peer coach, and a finance coach at this age. I may be slow at some stuff but I am sure that I can catch up. I may have a bit of anger to those people who are HYPOCRITE AND NOT TRUE TO THEMSELVES, I want a peaceful planet where people are safe and free to be happy wherever they are, AND PART OF MY GOAL AS A LEADER IS TO LEAVE A SMILE TO EVERYONE AND MAKE THEM CONFIDENT FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE.

Dear Ian

Oi, Musta ka bai??? I hope you’re doing great, wherever you are right now and I hope that you will now live and accept the name Ian. At the moment, I’m a Grade 12 ABM student, just trying my best to finish strong and hopefully graduate with honors. I’m aiming to take either Psychology or Accountancy in college as my pre-law course, still figuring things out, but I know where I want to go and I hope you that you're doing well there in college.

We're currently a Red Cross instructor, and I really hope you’re still involved in that somehow, still out there teaching and inspiring students about the Red Cross movement. I also dream of building my own gaming company. I don’t want to just rely on Dad giving me a business, I want to make something from the ground up, something I can call my own.

More than anything, I hope we're happy, still with Ar-k, and that you two are doing well, maybe even starting a family when the time feels right. I also hope we're in a place where you can help our siblings and give back to Mom and Dad for everything they’ve done.

Whatever’s happening in our life now, just remember how far we’ve come and why we started. Keep going, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey of life.

Always rooting for you,

-YANYAN

When I was still inside my mother's womb, I was very stubborn back then. She always craves a lot og guava with salt during her pregnancy with me. This picture was the first thing she posted when she made her facebook account after her wedding with dad.

This was when I travelled to Laguna when I was 3 years old. This was also the time when I started liking cars, my ambition to know cars, and how different types of racing works. I admired F1 racing since I was 3 years old yes, and my fav driver is Lewis Hamilton. I know that the background was just a watch brand, but to me, it was a glorified thing that woke my interest about cars.
