First I want to warn all of you, I am ninja protected… beware!

I get many questions about my nationality soo… I was born in the Philippines to a Dutch father and a Filippino mother. Sometimes when i’m feeling dangerous I like to pretend i’m Finnish ;). I have been living in New Zealand since I was 3 years old, then moved to Sweden for a year in late 2005. I have also lived in Japan for a brief 3 months and would love to go back there.

So why on earth did I move 17,000 kilometers from my family and friends to be in the freezing cold Nordic region? Gaming. My team the girlz 0f destruction have been living in a professional e-Sports training facility since February 2006. The house was for one year and what a year that was. With our sponsorship we were able to travel the world, going to at least one gaming event per month. Some countries I visited include:

• Germany
• Russia
• Sweden
• USA
• France
• Spain

2006 was an incredible year for me. Living with my team was so much fun and i’m very sad to say that our contract is over and we will all be going our separate ways. Also for the past year I have been doing gaming videos which you can view on my video page.

I am now also currently writing for a gaming magazine: Pro Gam3r

In late September of 2007 I was drafted into the Berlin Allianz team in the Championship Gaming Series. This means i’m now a paid professional gamer… but in what game?? Dead or Alive 4!

Our team became champions of Europe by closely beating Stockholm by 2 points in the final game which was Counter Strike: Source. We came 3rd overall at the World Finals and are looking for vengance in 2008.
