    Hello guys! I'm Mark, 19 and I'm from the Philippines.
    WARNING: I have a very bad English, not my first language so I'm really really sorry!

    I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering and I'm planning to major in Power Engineering. Yeah, I love Physics---I kindda have to. Physics is very interesting, I hope more people will appreciate the beauty of this subject. Yep, it's hard but it's amazing!

    I also like volleyball but I love badminton. I LOVE WATCHING FOOTBALL! I'm a fan of the German National Football Team, Die Mannschaft!! I'm incredibly happy that they won this 2014 World Cup. (!)

    MY FAVORITE (crushes (*hug*)) FOOTBALL PLAYERS:
    5. Xabi Alonso
    4. Manuel Neuer
    3. Julian Draxler
    2. James Rodriguez
    AND OF COURSE!! Jasper Cillessen - Goalkeeper of Dutch National Football Team, Oranje!


    Still have the World Cup fever. I'm sorry.

    ********************
    I have a very very low self-esteem because of my acne. Got it from my dad because experts say that acne can be hereditary. This made me doubt myself often---like with my decisions, ideas and opinions. :help: And I'm only 5'5''!! I feel so unattractive so love life isn't one of my priorities right now. This is very shameful but I'm actually considering undergoing surgery after I graduate and when I'm already earning money.

    I'm also planning on moving to another country to find a job and settle. Maybe, the Netherlands---yes because of Cillessen, Belgium, UK, Canada---I don't know about USA because I heard that they don't want immigrants anymore. I kindda feel bad about leaving my country but I just don't feel that I'm really accepted here. :tears:

    ********************

    SO YEAH! Enough about me, want to know more about you! I want to have new friends :slight_smile: FROM THE MYSTICAL CONTINENT OF ASIA :roflmao::roflmao: Mabuhay!!

    Thanks!
    I know, right?! James is such a revelation. He's played so well, so happy that Colombia got into the quarterfinals!

    So good! EC is becoming one of my favorite sites to visit. I feel so free and accepted!
    I'm studying at the University of the Philippines, here in Laguna.
    And yeah, I'm still fighting my way out of puberty. I really hope that someday I feel more confident and happy. :icon_wink

    Welcome to EC! I. Love. Electrical. Engineering. :OOOOO Although I decided to go to medschool after all xD Anyhow, short guys are really hot and don't think that just because you have acne you're ugly. If someone is worthy of your attention, he or she should look past your acne and looks, seeing the true beauty that lays inside you. :slight_smile:

    Lots of love,
    Andy

    Hay. Welcome.

    And about that immigrant thing, people are just being asshats. We really should welcome visitors into our country, but asshats get in our way. Stuff should settle down in a few years.

    Thank you guys for your warm welcome :slight_smile:
    I'm also glad to know that I have my kababayans here! Hello guys!

    Electrical Engineering is so awesome but med-related courses are cool too! I chose Electrical Engineering because we don't often need to wear lab gowns---I hate lab gowns. :frowning2: Yeah, I'm still building up my self-confidence---which is even harder than my degree program.

    Thank you so much for your beautiful words!

    That's why I'm having second thoughts about moving to USA. I'm really scared about the immigration issue and the racism involved. :tears:

    AGAIN! Thank you guys so much!
