Hello, there!

Let’s start with a name: Leo Daniel di Angelo.

For clearer purposes, I am not called Leo Daniel di Angelo, though I do give quite an attention to it. It’s a pseudonym I created by putting together three people’s names. To be exact, character names. To be more exact, book characters. I wouldn’t be direct about it, but the first name, I got from a story about teens having an adventure across the world, riding a giant warship that hovers in the air. The person behind the Wii controls maneuvering the whole ship is whom I got it from. The second name is from a story about great bloodlines, talented people, mixture of several ingredients for making a very important, yet dangerous, liquid, and of course, saving the world. My last name, which I suppose is Italian, comes from the same story I first mentioned. This guy is a little dark though, but he’s cool.

Should I tell my real name then?
Let’s just say my real first name starts with a letter which failed to get into tenth place. The name that follows it starts with a letter that roughly falls behind the first one. Let’s skip last names. Let’s just say the first three letters of it — which basically forms a word sadly related to Trigonometry (or it can also refer to a change in color, depends whether you’re a math geek or a summer person), are repeated, then an “o” is added at the end.

Vague? Just forget about it.
Other details?
I live in the Pearl of The Orient Sea. Born on the first month, fourth day, and I don’t know how high or low this year is ranked. Let’s just say it makes it so that I exist in Earth for sixteen years now, and counting, hopefully. I’m kind of an introvert. I spend more time bathed in fluorescent lights than sunshine. I have a limited and selective social interaction. But I do have friends. I believe people are desperate. I love the night sky, and I think people should look at stars more. I think that when they do, they’d think better, and this world would be better with people like that. And importantly, I believe in God.

Now, I’ll talk about interests. Other people’s interest can be interesting, right?

I love books and music and Disney.
I love how thousands of lives, stories, magic, possibilities, wonders, can be sewn together in a heap of beautifully connected words, bound in paper, and held together by a great sense of inspiration.
I love how rhythm and melody dance with words, showing us that it’s not just about being read, it’s about being heard too. Though I must include, I’m very bad at singing.
No matter how people may fret over how Disney is for kids, I can’t just ignore that it’s what helped me achieve more humor and understanding, inspiration and ideas, as I witnessed the world get swallowed by time.

I’m also in love with words. Though that doesn't mean I’m good at sewing them up. I love their variations, their lengths, their meanings, their sound. So though it’s not best, i try my hardest to make them work.

I love connections and complications. The way one thing is tied to the other. The way their threads grow long and tangled. The way they intersect and cross, over and under one another without losing their own color.

I love the cosmos. The way the word sounds, and the way the word means. The vastness is unimaginable. Us, a dot in this world. But this world, a dot in the cosmos. A field of colors and mystery, of the unknown and the unseen. Where all the stars gather and the heavenly bodies sing.

I love the night sky and the stars. The thought that their purpose holds two great meaning. One is to prevent the world from falling into the black hands of darkness. The other, to flash beauty in our eyes. The thought about being infinite — which in fact is my favorite word, and never ending, that when this whole Earth turns to dust, they remain in place, twinkling and being beautiful.

That’s pretty much me.
I believe there’s still a lot to find, no matter how turned the world has become.
