In the Midst of Living

"If you don't do stupid things while you're young, you'll have nothing to smile about when you're old."  Well, that’s the first thought that came to his mind when he thought of saying something about himself. Knowing that everybody has their own story and adventure, He thinks that his story might be wonderful for a book.

Despite the lemons coming in his way, he still strives to be a better person. Well, that’s a good thing to say, unless you want to know all the marvelous, rebellious, notorious things he has done.

Me and my twin brother. "Twin Goals"

It was July 7 1998, when Asuncion Cemetara gave birth to her son Paulo Howard Dinsay together with his twin brother Alejandro Carl Dinsay. They were at Bacolod City by that time. Staying there for about 2 years, finally, his family decided to go back to Manila. From that moment on, it all started to change, things got more exciting, more frightening and most of all, challenging. He is the last child; he had an older sister and a twin.

For him, growing up is really fascinating. He dreamed of something extra-ordinary. That is what he thought because he thinks of himself as extra-ordinary. From a little boy pissing at their window with his twin brother, to a naughty grade-school boy.

Upon reaching his teenage years-mostly high school years, he discovered some of the things he never expected. Especially his “Barkada” called “POGSIDE”. ­he finally found a group of persons where he could share his naughtiness and “Kalokohans”. It’s like having another set of brothers from another Mother. He was able to do the things he wanted for his teenage life, doing stupid things, just having fun.

Of course, he had his dreams, having a professional career, a successful life. Setting aside his extra-ordinary adventures, he has to work hard for it. He always wanted to be a part of something productive. He helps his family business, waking up early in the morning to deliver some orders, buying the supplies needed for the business. He studies hard. He has high hopes; he does all of these hard work so that he may be able to achieve his goal.

Life is a journey, no matter what happens, life goes on. Heartbreaks, misunderstandings, conflicts, all of these are part of growing up. He believes that every single obstacle in his life is a stepping stone to success.
