Manlalakbay - A Biographical Lens

About Me

Based on Squidoo materials I read, one of the always given tips is to make 'about me' lens.



At first, I feel awkward to do that and it seems my mind doesn't want me to. But somehow at the back of my mind, there's an urge for me to start it as soon as possible despite the number of lenses I have.

Imagine I crafted 29 lenses (as of February, 2012) but never thought and begin with myself. This lens will be a getting to know with me but honestly I don't know what to write.

Who is Manlalakbay?

Is it just a pen or real name?

Actually, way back to 2008, when I started studying the internet, I was about to make a blog, a manlalakbay personal blog. The registration page prompted me what name should I use. And that when manlalakbay was born. And the rest is history.
Anyway, I know you're wondering what does 'manlalakbay' mean? I will enumerate my explanations right here on this lens.

  1. Manlalakbay is a filipino word
  2. Manlalakbay, when translated in english, is a traveler.

I just want to clear it up that I'm not actually a person who does travelling a lot to different parts of the world. It's just my way of saying that I love wondering to different aspects of life by learning things that are new to me. As reading makes you experience other places, other cultures. It seems that through reading even if you've not been in the place, it's as if you've gone there already.. I want to wander my mind and travel to different knowledge that other mind knows. That's why I choose 'manlalakbay' as my pen name.

Who is the Person Behind Manlalakbay?

What you should know about him?

This is me.My real name is Jethro but you can call me Jet.

Honestly, I don't want to be called by my name because privacy is my priority. I live in the Philippines, a country where Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Lea Salonga and Sarah Geronimo came from, and I'm proud to be a filipino citizen. I'm an IT (Information Technology) graduate in Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Taguig. English is not my mother tongue but I know how to use it. It's part of our education. I'm 23 years old who fond doing:

Before

Currently


1. Writing poems

1. Enjoy my presence as online writer


2. Composing songs

2. Learning all needed stuff (like SEO)


3. Playing guitar

3. Programming


4. Writing on my diary

4. Exercising


 

5. Being health conscious


 

6. Reading





What's with 'before' and 'currently' headers? It basically means things I enjoyed (before) and things I keep doing until now (currently). I want to do again the things that made me happy if I can find free time and opportunity.

What Things that Interest Him?

So you have an idea what lenses you should write for.

Ideas that hook me up are:
  1. How to improve my writing skill
  2. Tips on earning in Squidoo
  3. Reading successful experiences of others here in Squidoo
  4. Stuff that help everyone to point out the right ways and things to avoid in writing
  5. News and activities about Sarah Geronimo
  6. Korean girls who woke my sleeping heart long time ago
  7. Taiwanese and Chinese girls I want to see someday (Ariel Lin, Jang Nara and Crystal Liu)
  8. And others.

So bookmark it and come back often as I plan to extend this list.

When Did I Start Squidooing?

How long since I've been a squid and lensmaster

I started here as nothing and clueless as to where should I start. My mentor who's the reason why I'm here, helped me (until now) to learn the ins of Squidoo. I'm less than a year and hopefully to celebrate my one-year birthday (May 17, 2011 to be specific) as a loyal squid.

Wanna know who's the hero I am talking, then check My Hero Squid lens and know everything about him.

My Second Birthday in Squidoo

I'm now a one-year squid here! I'm proud of myself and I'm happy with my progress. ^_^

    Yes, life is like a journey with so much to learn along the way. "Traveler" is a good name for you. You are off to a good start on Squidoo and I hope to see many more of your lenses over time. You could add a link plexo module for people to leave their "about me" lens link on.
