LeisureZcene Travel Plus
Philippines is composed of roughly 7,100 islands. The coastline is just spectacular, and a lot of them have not been discovered. I love traveling around my country, but it has proven to be somewhat of a challenge as a lot of the places are not on the beaten path. …

FORTUNE MAGAZIN

Old School Wrestling (OSW)

I am a huge fan of Old School Hip Hop and R&B music as back in the 80s and 90s, urban music had much more substance and did not emphasize too much about violence, cars, clothes, and materialism. Living in L.A., I found my perfect radio station which is …
