Yup! That's me. That's Alred Louis L. Pasetes.

Let me see, what could I say about myself that won't be considered fabricated information?...hmm...Aha! Let me start with simple things.

(Uhurm)Hi! I'm Alred. I'm a third year BA Journalism student of the College of Mass Communication in the (drum roll please) University of the Philippines Diliman. Yup, isa akong iskolar ng bayan!(kulog, kidlat).

How the hell did I end up in UP Diliman is beyond me. Maybe there was an error in the checking of the UPCAT papers. Personally, I would've appreciated ending up in the beautiful campus of the University of the Philippines Los Baņos, but nooooo, I had to end up in Diliman(sigh). Anyway, this was supposed to be about me and not my regrets.

I was born on August 5, 1982 (like you would care) and that makes me 19 years old today. I live in Pansol, Calamba, Laguna, which is only a town away from sweet Los Baņos soil. I've spent my elementary (Christian School International/CSI) and high school (University of the Philippines Rural Hig School) years in LB, which explains my attachment to the place.

What you're looking at right now is the about me page of my personal website. This website is part of a requirement for my Journalism 109 (Writing for Popular Audiences) class. As you might have read from my home page, I'm inviting you to surf my site and feel free to comment on my work(s).

Well, I'm running out of things to say. Just enjoy browsing through my site and if you want to, give me some feedback or better yet contribute. Thanks1(",)
