Meet the writers: Mark

30 May 2009 12 Comments

anonymark-profileAnonymark was born in the dirty roads of Pangasinan many years ago. He spent his infancy in Tarlac, Tarlac until when he was about three years old. His family moved to Metro Manila and was raised in a not so slum area of Quezon City.

He ended up studying in a school almost in front of their house, Saint Claire School. He took his primary and secondary education there. That’s where he met his GameOPS buddies namely Glen, Rocky and Jepoy. In Saint Claire, his love for computers blossomed, it is where Jepoy and him clicked (he even coerced Jepoy into believing that he will also take up Computer Engineering). During his high school days he has won several quiz bee contests and the medals won served as useful props for his nephew’s school activities.

He entered University of Santo Tomas and took up Biology and ended up shifting to Psychology the following year (punyeta malay daw ba nya na puro pagdadisect ng hayop yong kursong yon? hehehe!). He is still amazed on how he graduated with a degree of Psychology in University of Santo Tomas when in fact he spent half of his time smoking and hanging around Colayco Park. He is also a graduate of nursing from Perpetual Help College which astounds him because he has zero bedside skills. He also passed the nursing board exams. He is also looking for a really cheap and decent graduate school.

He sporadically uses his nursing license to anyone, because he has had a couple of training and operation “tuli” under his belt. He’s very good in making kupit from the family business aside from helping to manage it. He stopped helping manage the business when his father got ill with End Stage Renal Disease and took care of him. Now that his dad is OK he is looking to find a decent job, naka-toka na si dad, so he can’t make anymore kupit.

He is a real and reluctant barangay kagawad and is sometimes shocked at the fact that this country is really politicized. He hopes to become corrupt someday so that he can buy all the bling-blings attributed to politicians. He always goes on a “ronda” hoping to use his “batuta” someday. He is disgusted by the fact that there are some people who would rather see people stay in the squatter’s area rather than see them live in a better place just because of the fact that poor people are the easiest voters to get.

Due to his love of tech stuff, he started Geekothon hoping to share his being geeky to everyone. Aside from Geekothon he also has a personal blog, Medyo Gwapo.
