I approximately completed 21 laps around the sun and am hanging on by a thread as I try to survive the Philippine educational system; though, it doesn't stop me from having a myriad of interests, one of which is pinpointing and geeking over voices in every anime I watch, with a particular soft spot for Daisuke Ono and Yuichiro Umehara (which is what mainly fuels my contributions here in ACN). I have also read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Attack on Titan at least five times.
