An Introduction to Me

Jay Gallera Malaga, 26, is a graduate of Psychology but has since worked in the field of journalism as writer and editor for a local daily in Bacolod City. He also writes poetry and fiction in Hiligaynon, Filipino and English, while pretending to speak, read, write and perhaps understand in Italian, and being brave and ambitious enough to consider learning German and Portuguese. He looks forward to experiencing Africa and Latin America following his adventures in some parts of Asia and Europe as a youth leader and a member of a spiritual movement. Building a library for children is among his biggest desires. He juggles reading books and imagining himself to be somewhere else on his way to work every day because the jeepney ride proves to be difficult for him to write, try to learn a new language, or construct a library. He sleeps and cooks on weekends. He spends most of his time thinking, and forgetting in between thoughts. (More to come… if work allows him.)
