FRANTIK is an online magazine that caters to life and music in general. The magazine is edited to develop and help define an awareness about the identity of the everyday people, show business or not, by chronicling affairs in the social, commercial, political, cultural, current trends and news of our times. Music, arguably the largest commercialized art, plays such a prominent role in the lives of the modern person that we here at FRANTIK Magazine believe that a tandem with real people and real issues will bring both back to the front line.

I was born in the Philippines, but raised in Burbank, California. I graduated in 2005 with a BA in Sociolology with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. I have a bad ass dog named Zeus Jackson that thinks he's an acrobat. Whether it deals with business, personal, or relationship matters, I think everything can be fixed. So lets work some S*** out!!!!

"If I have to be alive, I'd rather be laughing while I do it. And because labelling is so constraining, when asked to describe myself, I'll take a page out of Yahweh's book and say "I am who I am". Blasphemy very much intended."

Cheap beer, good steak, anchovy pizza and lots of sugar is my recipe for a gourmet fiesta.
