Siops's Blurbs |
About me:
|| atypical Capricorn
|| "pusong kolehiyala"
|| cultural studies geek
|| has a love/hate relationship with punk and indie rock
|| enjoys decorating nipa hut with budget IKEA furniture (I am *such* a "global citizen"!)
|| boasts a modest collection of published work, mostly in defunct entertainment and lifestyle magazines with faux-"edgy" titles
|| Previously on Hey, It's Paolo!...
born to a Pinoy family headed by a lifelong investment banker;
raised wherever his dad's expat status took him, including stints at an all-boys Catholic school in Singapore and various international schools in the Asian Tiger Economies, circa the height of the whole deregulate/privatize/liberalize shebang;
moved back to Manila for college but never officially graducated because he was a lousy student;
had very, um, colorful involvements with the punk, zine, and indie music scenes, (locally and within transnational cyberspace);
previously an indentured telesales slave at a locally-owned call center;
now a would-be 'sleeper agent' for everyday creativity, in the belly of the beast that is the US credit industry.
