I love playing games like Genshin Impact. My first name, I dont know where I got it, but my 2nd name is from my dads name, but modified to sound abit younger than him.  I like to play sports as well.

I r eside in Parada, Santo Domingo, which I have been originally and born in Pampanga, Angeles City.
