I am A.L. Bjørnstad, born and raised in Manila. If you lived in Manila as long as I have and moved to another place, you would miss the sound, the smell and the heat of that city. I love Manila and I thought I would live there for the rest of my life. Situations occur,  new people come, plans change. All these  made me move (of all places) to the North.

I do not claim to be a good writer. I have no patience to edit myself. I always blame all my mistakes with the languages I have in my head. Feel free to correct my grammar, spelling and writing style. I may not follow your correction but I will keep your advice in mind.

I am not a good photographer. I take photos only to document where I am and what I see. I wish I would be better and I have no excuse not to learn new things.

I can stare at an art work I like for several hours. I like to use unconventional clothes. I can never say no to good food no matter how full I am. I drool over shoes I cannot afford. I will almost give anything to read books for a whole week. I am a Catholic and I am passionate about it.

Thank you for dropping by!
