At first, being asked for a 4-1-1 during those times when the number of people using the Internet in our country was relatively not that high as it is now. Back then, I would normally detest these kinds of people who would do so, as in "Hey there! Your 411," even to the point that I would give in to pressure that I seized the occassion to ask one of my e-mail buddies based in the States (she's a Fil-Am) what in this darned world is a four-one-one?

And, in a split second, she simply replied that it is an introduction of yourself. She even gave me the exact equivalent of the numbers (four, one and one, as in one-four-three translated into "I Love You"). However, owing to how long time flies, I also forgot the equivalent of 4-1-1.

And let me seize this opportunity to tell you guys who I am. I who has created a website which will chronicle my viewpoints, perceptions, rants, raves and even my suggestions about the world we live in...

I am Rey Refran, and I have already spent 20 summers in this planet. I shall be turning 21 this coming March 5, the 64th day of the millenium (in numerology, that's 4x 16, my favorite number, although I don't believe that much in that crap). I am still a student, a senior taking up Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences (majoring in Area Studies) in the University of the Philippines Manila, which is just a stone's throw away from some of the historic sites of one of the Philippines' oldest cities, Manila. As for the date of my graduation (finally!), I would not tell you for now. But hopefully, I would like to have it this sem for me to be able to march along with my batchmates and at the same time pursue my plans of taking up a masteral course in journalism in University of the Philippines Diliman.

What about my tastes, if you may ask? Well, I have a variety of those. I have some things that I like most, some activities I do the most, some shows (and even movies!) that I like watching the most (I'm a self-confessed couch potato, lalo na kapag nasa bahay ako na merong keybol tibi), the kinds of music that I listen the most and even the nonsense stuff that I crave for the most. For some, I may not be the ordinary kind of person that they would think (I got that from a friend with whom I talked to over the phone last night), but I am still down-to-earth that I consider myself as an ordinary person, hindi naman mayabang pero meron ding mga kasamaan on my part. Maybe in the next few articles of mine that I would exclusively create in this category, you would know more about me. Or, if you are already in a hurry to know more about me, you can click this link on the way to my capsulized info on my old website (thank God, I didn't know that this is till up and running, although I did this around two years ago. However, I will transport and update that info of mine to be included in this new site that I am hosting).
