About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Give back. Life treats me so well that i am ashamed and ultra thankful. 2020 is my year.

ABOUT ME
I ´ve many things on my head because I´m super old... 63 in earth time, but my eyes and mind had crossed many frontiers and experiences. As any other old guy, I think. No miracle here.

Luv motorbikes but my knees protested, an electronic device almost killed my heart 10 yrs ago, ha ha!,
Can´t live without breathing and music. Love to have from time to time some anime, kosupure, Manhua, angolan kuduro ,

I also love architecture: whatever is NOT cubic. Buildings, houses, cabins, minimum space apartments, smard - flexible and intelligent properties, airports and malls. Yes, shopping centers are the heart of urban life so I really love to walk around them, check people dynamics and behavior inside, what its called entertainment, how livable they are. For example, Incheon and Singapore airports are some of the greatest buildings for me. T6 NYC Blue´s home is also better than most lounges. I prefer to be 3 hrs at one of the the SIAMs (aragon the best) or Centralworld in Bangkok than watching for birds in the field. (yes, I. m so trashy on this)

Won the King of Procrastination award. No wasabi or kimchi helped my correct this. (I´ll tell you later if I´m sorry).

I mix black skysent chocolate with cheese, Love fruit cocktails (salpicon), and in the free time I am glued to the online world.. and I have a lot because I devised a way not to really work 25 yrs ago. U(Life volunteering paid and unpaid mostly)

I crawl for Collaborative Intelligence and AI, because is a great a solution to many human stupidities, AND VICE VERSA

Was CIO @IC2 in Buenos Aires, I am cofounder of Higashi Minami and was at Internet Colombia, I like to attend the "Internet of Things" things in Bangkok, and had done lots of tourism and work creation strategies for people in 3 continents.

The Websphere taught me of Blogging' n 'Tripping but I haven't done the 1st.

Food: Like muffins, cherries in any way, bubble pearl milk tea, ask Lan Fong Yuen-HK. For me coffee or chocolate means Vanilla Almond Black at breakfast, and infusions in the afternoon if not hot. Lunch could be some Dakgangjeong (Korean Chicken), Pizza at Tambal in Panama or CHI.. or simple colombian home made food at $4/plate. I also love BANANAS any way: kluay tod AND Pad See Eiw, milked cooked bananas , Banana-Lychee-Coconut Dessert, Banana Sticky Rice Cakes, banana in banana ice cream, banana with anything, and still... banana gives me hard headaches. What can I say (ouch, forgot Bananas at Manz Alcoseba in Cebu City)

DNA footprint:
acceptable bandwidth, couple of good friends, multicultural food n music and maybe -do not laugh plz- some ethics.

STAYING WITH US?
If you visit one of our places, please bring a gift that can be loved or shared . IE: a hand made thing to put on a table or wall, your beloved beer can, some strange cheese or spicy seed, a rare chocolate bar, a smile , a song, or an adventure story, (even if you invent that). We shall repay you!

PHILOSOPHY
Ask a lot, learn a lot, help a lot... but do not end living in a parking lot
Evolution Failed: we Humans are not Sapiens enough for this world.
If god is everywhere please let he know this world needs his help.

We came to this world just for vacations... we better get some good snapshots before getting back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If your life compass is broken, do not worry I´ll put you to work, I ´ll lihht a candle for you, and I will defy you to get back on track. You sweat, I´ll sing!
But please, be kind to me, tell me what you need because I ain´t no magician!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'd being saved of drowning by a CS, saved some of being robbed a year later, Fought w police cause they didnt help a russian girl friend from being attacked in Transmilenio Bogota, Paid a 120 euros for urgent stiches and medicines for an injured CS biker I barely knew, ... that gave me a best friend for life...Good for a Xiānggǎng´s family, but great for my soul !

I´m on this cause life has being extremely good to me, and sharing bread, bed n time, is the smart way to go for me. Can´t help it. Try it: you will not regret it either!

Interests

Sometimes I hate having soooo manyyy! (Order not a clue):

Antique cars, SeaDo stuff, world food, clock mechanisms, some Android and Adsense, Design (web, architectural, graphic and industrial), Can help enjoying tech stuff, Asian Pop, , Cosplay, Anime/Manga (ex: Death Note and Final Fantasy), I die for 2d/3d art, some street music from Angola and South Africa, I open my screenm and always expect some nice choreography from scandinavian, korean, and japanese names I admire, (I ´m the worst dancer but play the age excuse all time).

I like to sit in a park, a beach or just smell the wind. If you let me jog or bike a little, I consider that a plan.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Very old ones, epic type doramas from jp and ko, action/fiction freom the usual movie channel sources, I have a especial bond to heroes that make bad and untechnical versions of 1st line movies, and I hate the idea that average people consider books written by anyone under 21 a non sense... and I have seen many different kind of ideas and amazing texts even on school kids. I want to change that in my landscape!

Music: This is my worst attribute. I am so sorry I like so much music and need it 24h/7. I had a dozen headbands and earbuds ranging from active noise cancelling to simple and cheap st buds, just to be able to have my 2nd breathing or my 2nd pulse with me... yes , music and videos. Jpop/kpop/Mpop/LatPop, etc. Lots of Vocaloid (I knew once a Hatsune Miku), Versailles, IDragons, JP and SM' s Kpop, sme M-pop, Angola´s Koduro, the usual dosis of 80s 90s UK pop, some Indian, some Amazonas forest native cadences, caribbean notes , the rhythm created by a machine, a drop pf water, the hummingbird or medical monitor sound. Yes, I am an awful sample of am homo sappiens, this little brain has a nightmare separating real music from noise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1- Almost drawned at sea in Panama,
2- Could have died on a Error404 heart ICU in Bogota,
3- almost crashed in a plane in Chicago winter,
4-Flying Ontario to NYC on the sept 11 attack. Scared. And then, staying and days close to Niagara Falls in Rochester, for a flight to go home. Boring.
5-Learned how important timing and chat is while saving a couple teens from suicide in Chile and USA. Now I have respect for the seconds and the broadband.
6- Created a Kosupure/Anime/asian pop community that has today +24400 people... which still steals a lot of time from me.
7-A Jealous/Envious dolphin swimmed surrounding my wife... and I could not do anything except watch.

We were almost "terminated" while visiting Cartagena. That is why I care so much about travelling people and being carefull.
