Loy Meets World

My name is Luis Reginaldo Medilo, 29 years old (as of this writing) and a web designer from the Philippines. I took up Electronics and Communications Engineering in college and now work as a website designer and programmer for a local government unit.

My interests are computers, the Internet (pretty geeky guy, huh?), blogging, technology, history and of course, personal development! Like most “geeky” guys, I prefer intellectual activities to athletic ones. Reading books, surfing the Internet, playing computer games, and writing for my blog are some of my intellectual pursuits. I’m a frustrated athlete, however, so I vent out my frustrations by watching basketball, boxing and soccer on TV. If I have the time and motivation, though, I stretch my puny muscles through running and walking before I go to work.

I’m not into Hollywood and showbiz stuff, so forgive me for not knowing who the winner of the latest American Idol is. But I love Rachel McAdams so much, I think she’s the cutest and prettiest two-legged creature to ever walk the planet. I’m very picky on which movies to watch, preferring action and sci-fi films with lots of violence. I do watch a few cheesy romantic flicks as long as my beloved Rachel is on it.

I want to visit different places and tour the world, but my lack of money is a huge hindrance! These are the places I want to visit the most: France, Italy, USA, Australia, UK – not necessarily in that order. Iraq and Afghanistan remains out of the question for now, subject to the availability (or lack thereof) of Al-Qaeda operatives.

I love to eat, although my thin and frail body doesn’t show it. The only proof to the truth of that statement is my ever-bulging tummy. I love food so much that I’m considering a career in food-tasting for rich folks afraid of assassination by food poisoning. I’m seriously addicted to chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts, burgers, cakes and iced tea. I really don’t know if food addiction is worse than drug addiction because the former also gives me a high. Blood sugar and cholesterol levels, that is.

Bill Gates is my greatest idol, next to God, of course (I’m not yet an atheist, you know). That’s pretty obvious for someone who wants to become a billionaire. My greatest dream in life is to accumulate enough material wealth to gain notoriety among envious people who continue complaining about their meager paychecks. I’m just kidding, of course. My goal is to become rich so that I can provide for the comforts and happiness of my family and loved ones, as well as to help those who are really in need. Sounds noble, right?

That’s all. Still interested? Just drop me a message through the contact form if you have anything else to say. You can also follow me on Twitter.
