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.
Welcome to my first blog post! I figured that since I am in the Philippines then I should write about my experiences in my motherland. I would like to start out first that my name is Kristian and I am a Filipino. I was born in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I was raised there until I went to Arizona, U.S.A. I have been to many places or countries because I like to learn about different cultures.
I usually come back to the Philippines for a holiday every five years just for couple of weeks and fly back off again. However, onSeptember 09, 2009 at 8.30pm on Philippine soil, my life literally went upside down! I could not go back home yet as my family said I had to stay in the Philippines for a while. I thought my life was immediately over! My fun of going to different places and meeting different people is over. How I hated it!
I was still young when I first landed here and I decided that I should try to make the best out of my stay in the Philippines. I figured, how am I going to survive in a Third World country? Do I go to a regular fast food restaurant for food or do I have to hunt a boar with a spear? I would say I was a bit naive. It is typical of a person like me to be ignorant who has been living out of the country for so long. I figured that I should try to look at the positive in a negative situation.
Me driving through the Coastal Highway
To my surprise, I learned a lot of things in the Philippines where I would have never have learned in countries like the U.S.A and U.A.E. It's been a rocky road so far but I am enjoying every moment of it! So join me and watch my life spins out of control in a country which I am now proud to call home. =)

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! =)
