"A professional cook who usually is in charge of a kitchen in a restaurant or dining facility; a person who prepares food to eat." My definition of a chef...I am just glorified dishwasher!

"I have a German first name, two Spanish last names, and a European middle name. This is my full name but guess what, I am full blooded Filipino!"

"I was only five years old when we left the Philippines and boy I did not realize the adventure my life was going to give me."
