"asl?"

The question may be familiar to some, but for those who haven't been asked or asked someone that question; you most probably have an excellent life, never been bored to the point that you decided to fool around dating/meet-strangers sites. Haha! (Good for you! Go, you!)

Hi, I'm Roland Enrique Jr. My friends call me "Jay" or "Jay Ar."

I am a 21-year old 5 foot 3 male with brown skin, brown eyes, pale lips, heading towards 11th avenue, requesting for backup, do copy?

Kidding aside, as I said, I have existed 21 years on this planet (this information is true as of December 31st, 2017).

EARLY LIFE

21 years and a few days ago, I was nothing but a sperm and an egg cell. I don't recall being formed in my father's scrotum and swimming through my mother's vajayjay, but I'm pretty sure I was the big champion back then. Oh, conception day~ #memories

Jokes aside, I had always wanted to be an airline pilot since—well—as long as I can remember. My dad and I used to sit on benches and talk about airplanes, aerodynamics, chemical reactions, physics of the universe, and my all-time favorite were discussing the string theory and time dilation twin paradox. I am kidding. Again.

Back to airplanes; My first memory here on earth is me holding a small blue toy airplane while I was being held by someone, whom I do not recognize, at the grocery. So I guess my curiosity and excitement about being a pilot rooted from that early memory.

EDUCATION

Earlier this year, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree from Ateneo de Davao University.

Few days after I graduated, I got employed at the only company I applied to; Alliance Software Inc. I moved to a different city, 413.46 km away.

This distance is equal to 256.91 miles, and 223.1 nautical miles. That may be not that far if you only read the numbers, but it's a whole different island, so.

WORK

Remember me talking about wanting to be a pilot? Well, I code for a living. I am a Software Developer. Close enough, am I right?! Haha—ha.

I did not take aeronautics because of many reasons. One of which is my enchanting height; staggering 5 foot 3 inches. Too short for a pilot? Well, I blame my Filipino blood. It's the average height here in the Philippines.

My height may not have permitted me to walk my dream path, but I am happy and contended with the one I am taking on today, nonetheless. #blessedt

PASSION


I have the eye for men fashion, but unfortunately, I don't have the wallet—yet, at least.

I am planning to save next year and maybe start a fashion blog. I am not sure what I want to do. But fashion is one of definitely my interests.

Another interest of mine is traveling. Although, I have just started to wander around this year as I have only graduated and started earning my own dough. I will also, maybe, write blogs about that, too. Soon!

NOW, WHAT?

I'm young. My life's still a work in progress. I'm still not sure what to do with my life.

It is still the dawn of my life. I will be writing about random stuff here in the future, and I hope you will follow me on my little journey. If you have suggestions on what to write about, please don't hesitate to comment down below.
