About Us
My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene.
I have to say, that when I arrived in the Philippines, I still had this Filipino Dubai mentality. Now you're asking, what is the Filipino Dubai mentality? The Filipino Dubai mentality is that in Dubai we Filipinos have the perception that everyone Filipino is your friend. Let me rephrase that. In Dubai, we Filipinos are more then friends, we're family and that's one of the reasons why I miss Dubai.
In the states and the Philippines, we just can't trust anyone we know. I have to admit that I was a bit naive and that a lot of people misused my trust, kindness and earnings. I just wanted to have fun so that they would know the real Kristian in me. Sadly, to that effect I have lost most of my earnings and in the end realize what a fool I was. I never realize that there were a lot of untrustworthy people in the Philippines. I have to say that shook my world.
Rye and I at Alabang Town Center, May 18, 2010
It was then, that I found out that one of my good friends or should I say family from Dubai was in the Philippines. It was kind of ironic since I chatted with him through Facebook and found he was having the time of his life. I was like wow! How come I'm just having a bad experience in the Philippines while he's having the time of his life? I was all set and ready to go back to Arizona on July 2010.
It was on May 18, 2010 when me and my cousin went toAlabang Town Centerwhere I met one of my good friends from Dubai named Rye. I was kind of shocked that he still remembered me and he was the first to notice me in the crowd. I was surprised by how tall he grew.
We reminisced about the good times in Dubai and what we were doing in the Philippines. We went around the area until we ended up in Molino, Cavite. It was nice talking to someone in English! I was like wow! I felt like I was back home in Dubai! We ended at my cousin's place, poured some good old Red Horse beer into our bodies, and from that day on, it was history. Why was it history? It's just the beginning of more legendary nights to come.

Me with Steve Terada from Amercia's Best Dance Crew Season 3 Winner's QUEST CREW
Hi! You may call me Stuck in the Philippines because I am literally stuck in the Philippines! I'm just kidding. My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene. Once I started blogging, I couldn't stop.
A little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Dubai (U.A.E) until I went to Arizona (U.SA). You could say I love traveling. For the record, I am a Filipino. I just lived and studied abroad. A graduate of Southern New Hampshire University and Maine High School graduate, I feel that life has more to offer. I'm a Business Administration graduate but this is something I feel that I am passionate about. I love to breakdance but I'm not getting any younger. I like traveling but that requires a lot of cash. But I love to explore.
Since I love traveling, I first started this blog as a travel blog and I was bored. Anyway, once I arrived in the Philippines, I decided to stay for awhile and adapt to the Filipino way of life. Trust me! It wasn't easy since I had to adjust from scratch! But everything turned out well.
How I started blogging? It was when a friend suggested that I should blog. My first thought of blogging is that it was a boring job and besides what do I blog about? Voila! That's how my blogging world began and now I'm hooked! Now I mainly blog about events, news, movies, concerts and travel! A lot huh? By the way, I do make some grammar mistakes on my blog but hey nobody is perfect! =)
