  • Artist Info: Hi there just thought i sum up the past experience of my life and how it all leads to gaia and so forth. I'm 19 yrs old, i was born in Hawaii and moved to United States 17 yrs ago, i grew up from a poor neighbor hood, me mom had struggled to find a good home for me, my bro and my sis to live in. throughout that time till now we had problems keeping up with next door neighbors some who were gang related, still it didn't stop my mother from complaining lols. Well 6 yrs have passed and i was finally reunited with my father, my mom had struggled to take care of us. Soon she became very sick, but luckily my father had arrived. Ever since then things have gotten good, till i moved again to a more suitable neighborhood that's much quiet. As i began to get into my teen years i had a lot to think about for my future, my father and mother and bro and sis were always there to support me. Now elementary and Middle School was the first time i started asking a girl out, unfortunately it wasn't a success, So i looked to the web and came across Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, yet none was of no interest to me. So it wasn't until an ad came up of Gaia Online, I decided to check it out it was pretty simple and looked fun so I started a gaia account around October 11, 2007, It was very good but i had too much to worry about, Sophomore year for me went quite smooth, until 3 weeks after me Mom passed away from a heart attack, i was quickly called to the office to receive urgent news from the hospital that my mom was taken to. Now throughout my childhood i haven't had much friends in Elementary to High school but with my mom being there, she had taught me that nothing good comes outta fighting, stealing and lying. From thereon I've kept to her word, and it has allowed me to live a peaceful life. That day she died she had told me to never give up and never be a quitter. Now the world has thrown a lot at me during the time, but with mother deceased i felt utterly hopeless with no guidance, i wasn't about to quit, i had to remain strong in order to move on. So i continued my education moving onto Junior than Senior year, i could tell you that during those 2 yrs I've had much problems dealing with bullies alike, i couldn't be weak my father had also taught me one thing that no one can stand like a mountain, those who do will crumble like the rest. Now we aren't all perfect, we cannot resist death even to those who think that they are invincible no my Friends, Death is around every corner, crevice he has always followed you around to that moment where you make one mistake that can cost you your life. After Senior Class and graduation I've gotten more into gaia and made many friends, from the start i was a newbie but i didn't care who dressed better than others, to me if didn't matter cause those people who tried to be hard end up failing. Now im not a bad person, I have had many friends who will tell you about me and how i act. I do not hater newbies nor do i despise them, Newbies aren't different from us, they or we are all the same. So far Ive met the most wonderful people on gaia who had the same personality, well for some though, but these friends have allowed me to become more and more affiliated that it has made a huge impact. I do not find Gaia to be a childish play, avi's that i talk to are depicted on real people half a world away who struggle as i do, and i am there for them. Before thinking about starting College, i realized that my older brother was fighting in Iraq, though i was the only one who felt like he hadn't accomplished much, so i decided to aim for the Air force, Till Now I still care about all my friends, and some who still might hold some grudges against me, i will do my best to be there for all of them.
